WAR OF AGES

Agus who heard the invite stayed silent and look at Marcell with a bit of disgust but not shown that much.

"I would not force you to join the training session but I hope from time to time watch the training if you have some free time, you only needed to show your face to the club and compete in national and international competition when there is will one email send to you," said by Mercell.

As much there is a good one and with schedule empty for the semester and he has free time for these weeks.

"Okay, I'll join your club but make sure to sent the email at least one to two weeks earlier since I could have a tight schedule right at that very moment," said Agus as he gave his hand to Marcell.

"Good, you will not be disappointed by it" as he shakes Agus's hand with a smile.

"Agus, I also wish to discuss you about another matter," said the dean in a heavy tone.

"Is it about afternoon incident?" said Agus with a question.

"Hm, Yes" answered by the dean.

"I thought so," as he exhales in expectation.

"As you may have known Siswi Melati is were an influential person at the academy at the moment, she may have you drop out from school after you offend her," said the dean.

"That's true she also said that in front of me" not surprised by the sentence.

"So, I wish for you to stop instigating her," said the dean as he covers his mouth with his arm on the side.

As much he wants to stop instigating himself in the situation but the incident itself was started by the other side while he did not want to take part in which provoked the other party instead.

While he wants to retort back but he knows it won't even work well for him so he could only stay silent.

"Yes, if you said so sir," said indifference.

"Good if you understand since nothing more I need to tell you, you now are free to go anywhere and are dismissed," said the dean.

Without any word, he bows lightly the walk to the door before bowing once more and closes the door.

"Truly a precocious kid, I must say that is the first one who acts differently than other kids. You may have some problem with him later on and may have some trouble along the way, you sure about this?" questioned by the dean.

"Yes, I'm sure even my gut tells me he is the one I should get no matter what" by Marcell with passion.

"All right then, now can you please leave?" he sighs.

"Okay, I'll take my leave" as the Marcell left the room.

As Marcell leaves the room the dean look at the picture near his table and reaches it with his hand before the turn to the back of it revealing a small picture on it.

"Retno, why did you even have an excellent child who looks the same as you?" as he looks at the picture in sadness.

The picture reveals three teen two boys and one girl who still wearing their high school uniform, the boy in the middle is very handsome who is pulling his friend uniform. The boy at his right side was quite handsome but he struggles while acting cool and the girl on the left side was shy unlike the other teen while lightly pulled by the teen in the middle.

As the dean put down the picture down back to where it belongs as he returns to work with three stacks of paper on his right side of the table.

Agus who just walks out the dean's office quickly look at the wall which shown five o'clock in the afternoon, he runs to the courtyard to catch the bus to his workplace but either expected or not three young men and one young woman blocking is his path.

"Oh, you're finished. We've been waiting for you" said the muscled young man. "Agus, I have some message for you and all of is within this piece of paper," as the women who stand at the side of the muscle man while showing a piece paper between her finger who appears to be Maria.

"No need to nervous, we talk about it tomorrow also I have work to do," as she crosses hand below her c.h.e.s.t.

"It's from Melati" continued by Maria.

Agus who is grabbing the paper from Maria's finger was suddenly given a wink by her thus giving him a bit of chill and without any further word all of five of them leaving Agus in the courtyard alone.

Given a piece of paper, he put in his pocket as he left for his part-time job near the market area a private shop that sells everyday stuff like food, shampoo, soap, oil, vinegar, and other things.

The owner was a friend of my foster mother and when she heard my story from my foster mother she suddenly accepted my job review without interviewing any further as she also needs some help.

The owner's name is Sheila Maryana, she is alone and isn't married yet she was a nice woman and seem to adore children.

As Agus arrive at his part-time job always work late is very much normal for him since high school he tried part-time to help his mother and reducing her burden not to work hard but now he works to pay his rent daily as he could not wanting to become a burden toward his foster mother.

Today is a bit strange because strange with a sudden appearance of men in a black suit walks in the store as he glances to his surrounding as he browses the shelves from time to time he glances toward Agus who stand to wait in front of the cashier.

As the time is already past eight suddenly a man wearing a black suit still browsing the shop but instead of looking at the merchandise from time to time the person himself looks at him without cutting his line of sight.

Agus who saw him were shocked internally but he still put his professional smile wondering is that man trying to do who is still standing at that same spot for five minutes.

The man now walks to the register as he took an item from the nearby shelves and waiting to pay, Agus who is staggered by the change of behavior put his professional act as he takes the item and scans it.

After the price was shown the man give the money taking the money Agus was about to get the change to find there is paper beneath the money he just took when he returns his sight at the man to find him gone nowhere to found in the shop.

Agus quickly run to the store's front to find there is no sight of the man in the night even though the street is empty as it is was a late-night he wanted to go home at that very moment.

He closes the shop and put a lock on the door entrance and walk to his home to find his childhood friend Robert at the street while talking small thing.

His friend mentioned the legendary gamer now has joined the game and he was excited where the person might be and also wanting to know here Agus is at the same time.

Knowing Robert is talking about his game avatar, Agus could only let out his smile as he nods in agreement. Time at midnight Robert wanted to go college, the morning he quickly said want to go to sleep.

Entering his room and locked the door, Agus started to read the content of the letter that was given by the mysterious man and the letter given by Maria as he read the piece of the paper is a serious matter.

Fifty minutes later...

"This is!!! said Agus in shock.

Reading the content of the letter from the mysterious man, he was left speechless not knowing what to say as he read to confirm it once more as he was silent.

Agus's mother never mentioned his father that much but she once said one crucial detail that never left his mind which is "Sukrisno" his father's name as Agus whispered in low voice but there was nothing would lead it to his father.

He also read the other piece of paper given by Maria but he guess it would also be a big surprise even for him but he was ready for it this time.

Thirty minutes later...

Agus this time was paler than the previous paper as he was surprised by the sudden invitation not by Melati but by the head of the Kurniawan corporation which is Melati's father who is the CEO.

One thing he knew about the invitation was not a good thing for him, he could only stagger after looking at the microwave and the refrigerator to find fried rice where he warms it once more before eating it as hot.

Instead of sleeping he goes to the game pod, due to the last invitation he was anxious not knowing what he should do tomorrow but as his position as the king in the War of Ages, he could only stand firm not revealing his emotion not easily toward his subject.
