Episodes 69. Sensation

"PYAR!"

A cold splash of water was thrown at my face.

"Wake up, you idiot! How long are you going to keep sleeping?!"

The man's voice? Sounded like...

Like the man who was just defeated by that woman.

But who?

Why is my memory blurry?

"You lazy freak!"

BRAK!

A foot kicked my stomach, pushing me backward.

"Akghh!" I groaned.

Suddenly my eyes opened, and I found myself in a mysterious shutted-up room.

My hands and feet were bound by anti-magic shackles, and I felt like something was missing within me.

"You finally woke up!" The man said with a mocking smile.

"A-Akash Singh?!"

What's happening?

Why is he suddenly in front of me?

Wasn't he already defeated by Salwa?

"Where is this?" I ask coldly, despite being cornered.

"I don't know, maybe this is what they call Sangkuni building."

"Ha?!"

Upon hearing that name, my body froze and I couldn't move normally. It's like being electrocuted, my pulse seems to react abnormally.

"Where are the others?!" I asked.

"Do you mean your female friend and the kids?" Akash gave me a sinister look. "They will see the truth hidden by that fat teacher!"

"Bahar?"

"Yes, that guy... If I recall correctly, he hid something during the Teacher Test, right?"

Upon hearing those words, I instantly knew what he was talking about. It was when Bahar stopped the fight between Samuel and Natesh. He stops Samuel from casting electric magic on Natesh's holed wound.

"Dammit!"

I tried to use my magic.

...but nothing happened.

"Hahaha... You think we don't know? I've disabled your magic, not just in your hands and feet, but your whole body!"

"Ha?"

"That means, now... You've permanently lost your magic! And can only... live forever without magic! Hahahahhaha!"

My magic is gone? But I mustn't panic, my magic is just sealed by an anti-magic object called 'TolakBalak'.

But his words about revealing the truth about Anitya earlier couldn't make me stay calm and silent.

I must stop him immediately.

"Akash..." I called out his name with an optimistic smile.

"What?"

"CODE NAME: AKSHSGH, REMOVE: LIFE!"

As soon as I mentioned that code, Akash's body collapsed and convulsed.

White liquid continuously poured out of his mouth.

About 7 seconds after he convulsed, his body froze and became emotionless like a statue.

"Lucky you're all stupid..." I said as if disappointed.

"There's no time!"

I forced my bound hands using my physical strength.

My fingers were sprained, and even the bones weren't in normal shape.

The same with my legs, all the bone structures were twisted irregularly.

The pain from the sprain was felt throughout my hands and legs.

But immediately, Anitya regenerated all the sprained bones.

"Still can't?"

I stood up and pressed both palms on the door of this room.

...

Nothing happened.

"Damn!"

How do I get out now?

My pupils darted around the room, but there was nothing I could see.

"Stupid, I forgot..." I said to myself, looking at the person lying(dead) on the floor.

"Sorry, but this is mine now."

I forcefully took the key from his waist, after all, he didn't need it anymore.

BRAKKK!

I exited the room and roamed the corridors of this 'building' while detecting them (my students and Salwa) using Anitya detection that come from Sophia.

.........

In another room, Sophia, Camal, and the nerdy girl with glasses named Julia were being held captive, tied to chairs in a square-shaped room.

Inside, there were many torture devices that would make the hostages quickly confess any information they wanted.

In front of them, Salwa could be seen with her hands tied and hanged, unable to touch the floor.

"Finally, you three wake up, students of Podoagung School!" (Garnt Towel)

A young and handsome businessman was standing in front of the three of them.

"You three must have heard... about why in a match between fighters can suddenly be stopped for no reason? Like what happen at that Teacher Test, the fight between Gus Natesh vs Samuel Yucheng. You are really don't understand what happened right?" (Garnt Towel)

The three students looked at the man in fear. They realized something bad was about to happen to the woman in front of them.

But now, they were powerless.

There was nothing they could do. The man in front of them was too strong, even their teacher fell under this person's illusion.

"No answer? I taking it as 'yes', right?" The man shrugged.

"Okay, I'll just show you this!" (Garnt Towel)

Towel turned his body and faced the poor woman.

"This is what they're hiding!"

Towel created a powerful lightning field in his right hand and a thick whirlwind in his left hand.

"Why do I have to do this...?" His voice sounded bewildered as if he was being commanded by someone.

It's like someone is ordering him to do it, otherwise, he wouldn't waste his time doing this useless show.

SLAB!

A stab from his left hand pierced the woman's heart.

"AKKGHH!" The woman woke up instantly and screamed loudly.

SLARSSS!

Not letting the woman rest, the man stabbed his other hand into the already pierced heart.

"AKGHHH!"

The woman's body seemed to experience an error. Slowly her skin became like a balloon with an excess charge. Her blood was like hot water that bubbled in her skin.

Bubbles on her skin increased and enlarged until finally...

BAM!

Her body exploded, her skin peeled off, and red liquid flowed profusely around her corpse.

The three hostages and the man were splashed with the splatter of red liquid from the corpse.

Sophia, Camal, and Julia stared blankly at the exploded woman. It's like they saw something they shouldn't have, their morals and emotions drained after witnessing it.

Tremors in their bodies could no longer be hidden. They truly felt the experience of witnessing death for the first time.

"And you will become like her!"

The man's gaze turned towards Camal.

TAK TAK TAK!

Quick steps from the man towards Camal.

SLAB! SLARSSS!

Camal's body stopped and exploded like the woman in front of him.

Sophia looked in horror at what happened to her friend beside her.

"Understand?" The man's voice was flat.

TAK TAK TAK!

The man now stood in front of Julia.

"I BEG YOU DON'T DO THIS! I'M STILL-"

"Shut up, that person asked me to do this as a deal!"

SLAB! SLARSSS!

Now Julia's body met the same fate as the other two.

Sophia seemed to lose hope. The light in her eyes disappeared. Death would soon come for her.

BRAK!!!

But when the time was about to come, a door from the room was forced open.

Behind it, there was someone Sophia knew.

.........

I barged through the door and saw what had happened.

My eyes witnessed a devilish feast in that room.

"What just happened?" I said to the man who smiled, covered in blood.

"I don't know? What do you think?"

I stepped forward and looked right in front of the man's face.

"What just happened?"

Somehow, I didn't feel my soul within me anymore.

My heart felt so empty after seeing this.

"What you gonna do now? You can't even use your magic!" The man taunted me, but the bitterness in his pores was evident.

"Die like the others!"

SLAB!

My body was pierced by a palm infused with wind magic.

"Hahaha, die, Champion!" he thought he had won.

He released his stab and tried to stab me again with his other hand.

"Hihihi!" It's ridiculous.

It's ridiculous.

It's ridiculous.

I couldn't save them?!

Why?

I'm strong!

I should have been able to save them!

But what?!

Now there's only one left!

I failed to protect my high school friend...

I failed to protect Salwa.

I failed to protect my students...

I failed to protect Camal and Julia!

"HAHAHHAHAHHA!"

"Why you?! Are you going crazy because your death is near?!" The man thrust his dagger towards me.

But before the object could hit me.

"CODE NAME: GRNTWL, MAKE AN EFFECT: ULTRA ELECTRIC CHARGE!"

SLARSSSS!

Sophia's eyes closed as she cried after seeing the last sparks of electricity.

.......

I gazed at the man who collapsed without hands and feet.

"I won't let you die just like that!"

Is this me?

But why don't I feel like I'm the one controlling all this?

It's like, I'm moving following an emotion.

"Mr. Rasyid! You're still alive!" Sophia exclaimed with relief mixed with tears.

But she couldn't just feel relieved, there was something else she had to see.

"Sir? Sir? SIR?!"

I couldn't hear anyone's voice now, all I saw was the suffering man who wanted to disappear from this world.
