Prologue
---------When you ask someone with a stupid question that is nearly impossible to comprehend †˜Can you think something else that is faster than the speed of light?’, or a question that is a bit non-sense when being asked in a sudden topic… †˜Don’t you know that Santa Claus is actually your parents?’ Only people with sufficient knowledge/common sense will respond to it without any sarcasm, although if the question is directly asked to a child who still believes in Santa Claus – the question itself broke the dreams of an innocent child. Just like my life what it is used to be, being a civilian with a quite normal life being destroyed by the truth or †˜fantasy’ that invaded it. Even I truly wished it to happen, alas what a cruel fate. “Be careful what you wish for” as the old phrase tell. All of those things started in my very self, the unconscious one. Which every
Chapter 1
---------“Gimme a break”. I told myself as I scratched my head vigorously and wanted to quit my seatwork given. It was so hot then, so I fanned myself with my notebook reluctantly to bear with this hellish like classroom. Furthermore this is the worst day so far in my stay in this school. I envy the guy/gal whose is also supposed to be my seatmate. By the way, my seat is located at the farthest right side when you are facing the whole class and you can easily distinguish it with me and an empty chair. I get the felling somehow that guy/gal also goes inside the campus but never in the class. But hey, I get this table for myself and all mine! But, sometimes it proves as a disadvantage for my part. Especially our class is always having collaborative type learning. Just like now, this damned seatwork is good for the workload of two persons. Now, I get to work two times as good, and two times faster. Wait, it’s four times faster, because if any student doesn’t finish their work, they cannot go outside and take their lunch.
--------As I finished my work, I quickly passed those blasted paperwork. Finally it’s lunchtime! Mmm, lunch. My stomach growled. If I were too energetic, I would have bought my lunch at the cafeteria. But I wouldn’t make that fatal mistake just like last time. Last week, I broke my finger due to being caught in a stampede, as if that place were a battle field. The soldiers (students) are shouting their war cry (orders) to claim their victory (food). Ugh, they are not really soldiers at all; they looked more as Vikings or something along that word. I will try again my luck after I made myself strong in future. Surely after I broke my finger, I always have bought my lunch to some stores before I go to school, and it’s much safer too.
I took my snack which is cheese bread and a can of fruit juice and went outside to loaf around. I should have thought before where should I loiter for this day, ah~ so many places to choose. I might as well as to take a tour around the campus. While I’m at it, a loli tour guide would be fine too. Hey, don’t look like that to me; the author of this story is the real lolicon…just kiddingïŠ. To begin my tour around, I need a place that is somehow close to my room. It must be the rooftop. I remember that time when we have the opening of classes and where did they put on confetties and fireworks. And that’s not the only reason; I also wanted to see the whole campus’ surroundings
After I climbed the stairs and reached the door to the rooftop, some strange noise can be heard across the door. Maybe it’s just a cat was just playing around, but the cat I saw after going in, the “cat” was a girl with a weird hairstyle; the left ponytail was good, but the other ponytail was kind a weird, it somewhat points to the sky with a 45º angle, I wonder who she is. I noticed some metal pipes scattered all around the floor, but I didn’t mind it, walked to other place and started to eat lunch. “I finally pinned you down.” The girl spoke. I didn’t reply nor looked, feeling that I will get into a fight. But then as I looked at her, I saw some metal pipes floating around her. Then the girl made some kind of incantation. And she pointed a finger at me. Then instantly, the pipes were flying towards me. Thanks to my reflexes, I managed to dodge all of the pipes…except one that struck my left shoulder. “I’ll end it shortly, don’t move” as soon as she ended that line, I heard an alarm on the back of my head, which sounds like a warning sign. Thanks to that, I gained back my control of my body. I threw myself into the air as forceful as I can. Moments later, the time stopped for a while. Oh yes, this kind of thing happens in my mind not too often, when I make a decision while I’m having a hard time, time stops like this. I guess god gave me this talent for a compensation for my slow reaction time, but I disapprove that belief. It’s just my adrenaline levels have gone too far and made my perception very slow, to the extent that it stopped time. So much for my common sense, it quickly destroys my fantasy. But my mind is very playful; it continued to torture my common sense. It gave choices which somewhat looks like a deciding point from a generic visual novel game. The choices were; †˜Fight!’, †˜Pray, someone will save you’, or…’Run for your life’. I knew myself very well, I would definitely pick †˜Run’. Ha! so much for the bravery and courage inside me. Well, any person would run away, especially when some pipes magically flies and hits you and some kind or fireballs floating about…! That girl hurled fireballs at me and fortunately, I evaded it, as long as I can see it and if it’s coming from my front. I want to stop the time again, but nothing happens, which means
