1 2 years

It's been two years.

I'm already 20 years old, the four of us already accept our deed in the past and we already finally accept ourselves, thus the end of our life in this dorm is near. For the past two years, we already have been taught until we are fed up with education and task that are given to us, it's really harsh training. The time we spent in this dorm is really short but I believe we are always connected by the bond of our friendship. even though we will graduate from this place tomorrow we already know from the start but still, life in this dorm is full of happiness. I'm really glad to be able to stay here for the rest of three years. The two of my friend should be already graduate from this place 6 months ago but they postpone the graduation because they want to graduate together with me, I'm truly moved by their actions I really blessed to have a friend like them. oh, and by the way, me, Andrian, and rein already have grown our hair we already finish the training for the first year and we already finish the task given by the teacher that's why we have been permitted to grow our hair again. All of our hair is back, Andrian has natural blonde hair, for me and rein we have black hair.

"Galen"

I Turn around and find my best friend. my roommate is calling my name it was Andrian. He slowly approaches me.

"yo Andrian, what are you doing in here? Aren't you already have a last test from the teacher in here?"

Right now I'm training in the dojo, this dorm has so many facilities this dojo was one of them. Teacher Wessel built so many facilities for this dorm so all of the people who have been rehabilitated in here when they are going out from this place have some skill to survive in society. The dorm has sewing facilities, a swimming pool, basketball court, futsal court, computer laboratory, library, and many more. Not all of the test in the dorm was a written test some of the tests sometimes take a place in one of the facilities, practice test.

"Well I have, but I already finish it, it's easier than I thought to b. by the way, what are you doing in the dojo? aren't you already finish your material arts class these 2 months?"

"Well I have but there is no way I'm gonna slacking because is my dream to become a material art practitioner, this dorm is already given enough to me about all the material art that I need to know"

Well, this dorm is this kind of thing after all.

After three years I have been living here I finally found out what I want to do. I finally have a dream for my self, As I said before when we already have finish all the task given by the teacher this place will give everything we need to pursue our dream. This is a privilege for the one who already finishes the rehabilitation.

"So serious… hahaha, oh by the way the Old Wessel call the two of us to come to the backyard, this afternoon"

because we are already graduate Andrian frequently call him old Wessel.

"that old man? What happens? Is he need something from us? or what?"

"dunno but I hope is not something like a prank or another troublesome task from him"

Of course, we don't want to give some troublesome task by him, like two years ago.

"now that you said it, I really hope it's not that"

My face becomes pale remembering what task we got two years ago. that man really is troublesome, that was what I thought.

"hey len, how about a bout with me? one match before we go to the backyard?"

Andrian giving me a challenge. He too is the same as me he already finishes the martial art class test that's why he wants to fight me.

"hee, sound good for me, lets go"

Andrian gets into the locker room, he changes the cloth for the Muay Thai fight.

For the information I have already finished my certificate for karate, Pencak silat, taekwondo, muay thai and kung fu, some people call me a genius in material art, maybe because of my inner talent and my interest in material art, I finished the qualification for master degree in just two years. meanwhile, Andrian only uses one martial art it's muay thai.

"this time I'm gonna make a score for sure"

Andrian never wins against me, out of 5 matches with me he never won a single round from me. Even so, he will still challenge me on some occasional day. He never wins because I am already used the martial art he uses, I too already mastered muay thai that's why I understand his style of fighting. As for me because I mastered much martial art I can change my fighting style freely. Even I can mix the style of some martial art so it can suit me when I fight someone. To be honest, it is scarier to fight someone who has mastered one martial art for years, but in the case of Andrian, he only mastered muay thai three months ago. So I can say with certainty that he will never beat me.

"oooo bring it on, you never make one score from me though"

We both make a stance it's a signal. That means we are ready, after the signal ready is set my mind turns on to full focus mode on Andrian. I think how he gonna attack me first or is it me who gonna have to attack first and how can I land a hit on him. While thinking about it, Andrian already attack me with his leg he swings his right leg to my head but he should already know that I can evade so the next one is the real hit from him. I successfully evade it and as I guessed it was right after the kick before his leg set on the ground he already swings it back so he can hit my head, but I already predict it and blocked him. Andrian hurriedly backing his foot in-ground again, seeing this as a chance my right-hand makes a full speed punch to hit him but he can evade it skillfully. That was not the end I use one of my feet to make my knee hit his lower or stomach but Andrian can block it too. The next turn I'm using the right hand to grab his head but he still can evade it. This position is a stalemate for him and me so I make two-step back from him, and he takes two steps too after that we fiercely exchanged a blow. The blow can't hit me because I can block it or evade it, same as Andrian he too can block and evade my attack.

In the fierce battle of punch, Andrian changes his posture makes a kick at me.

'this is the time I waiting for'

that was what I thought.

Before his right foot set on my body I already catch his attack and use my right leg to attack the back of his left knee to set a score, with one of his feet are on my hand and one of his knees get hit he can't make a balance on his body, he falls.

using my left hand I want to punch his face so I can make a score, but before I hit his face...

"that's a score for me, and that's the end of our session"

stopped my hand in front of his face and declared as my win.

"you're still crazily strong aren't you"

"hahaha"

I still embarrassed to heard praised by my friend so I gloss it with a laugh

"now, can you help me to walk? my leg still numb from being kicked by you"

Andrian said while giving a sigh

"Sorry!"

Well, I'm not using my full power to attack him. Even so, if you get kicked back on your knees I'm sure nobody will be can't stand after that. Because that's one of the weakest points of humans. After one match with Andrian, I lend him my shoulder, we go out of the dojo.

at first, we want to come to the backyard to meet our teacher, but this is still too soon

"Rian, do you want to come with me to the zoo?"

Rian is a nick I use sometimes to call Andrian. there is a little zoo in this dorm.

"well, let's go, I don't have any schedule after all, and it's been a long time since me coming to that place,"

said Andrian while still lend on my shoulder.

There is a little zoo in this dorm, the animal is consisting of the species that live in this hill forest, but sometimes the old man/Teacher Wessel add his one of his collection to this place like a snake, Eagle, Koi Fish, Sugar glider, Bullet Ant and some of an Exotic Bird.
