[2.10] Training Part 7

"Hey... Hey... Ouch, this kid is so hard to wake up," Radit said, trying to wake Raka up. Instantly, Radit had an idea to wake Raka up.

Radit went to the bathroom, wet his hands, then returned to Raka's bed. Then, Radit dripped water from his hands into Raka's eyes.

"Woi... Woi... Soaking wet, what are you doing, Radit? What a prankster," said Raka, jerking awake while rubbing his wet eyes.

"It's half past 8 in the morning, hurry up and get up and shower, let's go to the dining room together," said Radit.

"You are not my mother, you know," said Raka.

"Already, don't talk too much, hurry up and take a shower. The others are waiting," said Radit.

"Yes... Yes, relax a bit," Raka said, then headed for the bathroom.

After some time, Raka had finished grooming himself. Then they were both ready to start their training day.

At ten minutes past eight in the morning, Radit and Raka arrived at the dining room. When they were about to enter, it turned out that everyone was already in the dining room.

"Oh, here we are, two sleepyheads," Steven said, addressing Radit and Raka as they entered the dining room.

"Don't equate me with this kebo," said Radit.

"What took you so long, Radit?" Hana asked.

"Well, he only woke up at half past eight," Radit said while looking at Raka.

"Why didn't you come here first?" Hana asked.

"Well, I'm still not hungry, so I'm a bit lazy to come here," said Radit.

When Radit and Raka had just sat down, the morning meal arrived. "Oh, it's fried rice this time," said Raka.

"Hurry up and eat. You two are the only ones who haven't eaten," Leonardo said.

"Yes, be patient. If you rush, it's not good for your health," said Raka.

"Yes, your own fault," Leonardo said.

"Hey, I'm up at noon because of you too. You invited me to coffee yesterday until midnight, and it ended up making it hard to sleep," said Raka.

"Well, it's both of your faults. You knew I couldn't sleep, but you kept me company until midnight," Leonardo said, looking at Raka and Steven.

"Hey-hey, why am I being gossiped about too?" said Steven, feeling that he was also the problem. Then, Laras calmed the three of them down.

"Never mind, don't make a fuss. Raka, finish your food quickly, we'll start the training soon," said Laras.

"Yes... Yes, I'll finish it quickly. It's fried rice anyway, so finish it quickly," said Raka.

Radit and Raka finished their food quickly. After some time, they finally finished their meal.

"Are you done? Let's go to the basement," Leonardo said as he got up from his chair.

"Uh, we just finished. Wait a minute, the food hasn't been digested yet," said Raka.

"What are you doing at school? It takes 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for food to digest in the stomach. Do we have to wait that long?" Leonardo said.

"Already, don't be spoiled," Steven said, getting up. "Come on, Raka. It's our fault too," Radit said as well.

Everyone came out of the dining room, except Raka who was a little behind. "You guys are in such a hurry," said Raka.

"Ano, sorry, I wanted to ask, is the food good?" said one of the female chefs who came to Raka.

"Hm? Chef? So short. Is he as tall as me or younger than me?" Raka muttered to himself.

"Hey, you disrespectful guest," said one of the waiters.

"Please forgive him, sir. He's our new chef, so he doesn't know the etiquette and rules here," the waiter said again.

"Ah, the waiters are too stiff here, not like in my place," Raka said while looking at the waiters standing in the corner of the room.

"No need to worry, I'm not offended." Raka said to the waiter who scolded the young chef.

"Oh, yes. The fried rice is delicious. You will be the best chef later. Improve the taste." Raka said to the young chef with a smile.

"Ah... yes, good. Thank you." said the young female chef with great pleasure at being praised.

"I'll see you then." Raka said, and walked out to the basement.

Raka walked to the elevator, and in front of the elevator there were still Gilbert and Fauzan waiting for him.

"Hey, you took so long." Gilbert said as he pressed the elevator button.

"I'm sorry, I was talking about something with the waiters and chefs." Raka said.

"What is it about?" said Fauzan.

"They just asked if the food was delicious or not." Raka said, then the elevator doors opened and they entered.

"That's it?" said Gilbert.

"Yes, that's all, nothing else." said Raka.

Then, after some time, the three of them arrived at the training room yesterday.

"Well, here they come." said Jiyan.

"Hey, come quickly." Steven, who was in the corner of the room, shouted. Fauzan, Gilbert, and Raka heard Steven's voice and ran towards him.

"Well, now we're all gathered." said Bilgard.

"Now we are doing tests to bring out the unique power." said Lampart.

"How?" said Amelia.

"Hm, unique powers are very difficult to appear because there are countless types of unique powers. But if someone has awakened their elemental power, usually their unique power will be easily seen as well." said Lampart.

"I've read the guidebook, the types of unique powers are currently divided into 2, namely the fighter class and the science class. The fighter class is easy to appear when fighting, but what about science?" said Laras.

"Well, that's what's difficult. The unique power of the science class is very difficult to activate because it usually only activates when there is an urgent situation that requires extra thought or diligent study or sometimes it is also accidentally obtained." said Lampart.

"So what now?" said Amelia. "Because science class is hard, so how about we try it with fighter class first, who knows you all have fighter class." said Luna.

"Then you have to learn like yesterday again, right?" said Britta.

"No, now we'll do a real battle simulation." said Luna.

"Is it a simulation of a real battle?" said Gilbert.

"Well, it's hard for me to explain. Let's go to the place directly." Luna said.

"Where is it, sis?" said Fauzan.

"On the bottom floor again." Luna said. Leonardo, Raka and Steven smiled as it was according to their plan discussed last night.

They were all now one floor deeper than the previous training ground, and then they had arrived at the real battle simulation room.

"Hoi, bro, idle?" Bilgard said to someone who was sitting on a chair inside a real battle simulation control room.

"Not really, me and the others are making a Homunculus." said the man in the white coat.

"Bang, who is he?" said Fauzan.

"Oh, yes. I forgot to introduce you. He is the chief supervisor of this real battle simulation room, his name is Johan." Bilgard said.

"Introducing, I'm Johan, the supervisor of this room." Johan said.

"So, what is the need for you to come here?" said Johan.

"You're such a talker. What else are we doing here?" said Bilgard.

"Oh... yes, yes. So you want to show the boys your attraction in this real battle, huh." said Johan.

"Not us, silly, but they're going to use this room, and you're insolent too, huh, with the young master." Luna said.

"Huh, seriously?" asked Johan a little surprised.

"Yes, seriously. What else are we here for?" Luna replied.

Johan then approached Lampart and talked about something important. "Bro, you're the smartest of the two, so why are you doing this crazy thing?" Johan said.

"You... talk like you're smarter than me," Lampart said.

"Answer quickly," said Johan.

"Well, it can't be helped, the young master who asked wanted to quickly activate his and his friends' powers, so this is all we know how to do," Lampart said. Hearing that, Johan showed a flat face.

"Hah... you're just like those two," Johan said and went back to his seat and sat down.

"I ask again, so are you serious?" asked Johan.

"Yes, of course," Bilgrad said.

"Huh...." Johan sighed, then continued his speech to Radit and his friends.

"Young master, do you know the risks of this simulation? This is still a prototype, you know," said Johan.

"Not yet, but at least I know," Leonardo said.

"Oh my," Johan sighed as he massaged his forehead.

"Okay, I'll first explain to you the risks of using this simulation room, so that you won't be traumatized or regretful," Johan began to explain about the real combat simulation.

"Hoi-hoi, why is it so creepy, why didn't you explain last night?" Raka asked Leonardo.

Steven, who was nearby, nodded. "Well, you didn't ask, anyway," Leonardo said with a grin.

"This kid is really asking to be beaten," said Raka, a little annoyed and irritated with Leonardo.

"So, listen to this, this simulation is not very dangerous, but it risks trauma," Johan said.

"What kind of trauma?" asked Steven directly when Johan paused on his words.

"Young man, don't ask questions yet. I haven't finished explaining yet.

"Sorry, I'm just curious," Steven said.

"Okay, let me continue, the severity of this trauma varies depending on the mental strength of each individual. Why can this simulation have a traumatizing effect? It's because when you go in there," pointing outside the room, "you will feel real pain, when you are shot or cut down. But don't worry, the pain won't hurt your body, you will be using a prosthetic body and the pain will only be sent to your brain. Any questions?" asked Johan.

"So, even if a part of our body is cut off, nothing will happen to our body, right?" asked Raka.

"Yes, but you will feel the pain," Johan replied.

"Yeah, great," said Raka.

"Hey, you heard my explanation, right?" asked Johan who was surprised that Raka ignored the explanation about pain.

"Sir, what was the pain like?" asked Laras.

"Good question, and don't call me father, I'm still young," Johan said.

"So, the pain can be of various kinds, because this is still a prototype so there are some attacks that do not feel pain but just like touching. For example, getting hit by a rock or hitting your head on something does not accumulate as pain but depends on how severe the impact is. It's just a simulation so the pain is about a quarter of the original pain. But it's different when one part of the body is cut off, even though the pain is only a quarter but if the individual is mentally weak then it can traumatize him," said Johan.

"I see, I see," said Laras.

"How are our powers? Can they be used?" asked Jiyan.

"Of course you can, because basically this simulation can be made because of this new power, without it this simulation tool would not exist. In fact, you have the potential to develop and discover new powers," said Johan.

"Oh!" Jiyan nodded as he said.

"So, do you still want to try this simulation?" asked Johan.

Radit and his friends looked at each other and decided, "Yes, we want to," they all replied.

"I warned you, you know. I'm not taking responsibility," Johan said as he looked at Bilgard, Lampart, and Luna.

"Take it easy, they're strong," Bilgard assured Johan.

"Huh... basic. Alright, let's go downstairs to transfer your consciousness to the homunculus. You two, help me," Johan said and ordered his two subordinates to help him. Then, Radit and his friends followed him.

They arrived at the simulation scanning room.

"Oh, so that's his prosthetic body," Radit said while staring at the tube of water.

"Yes, that's right. Wait, I'll prepare it first," Johan said.

"Bang Johan, does this body have blood?" asked Fauzan.

"Yes, but only a little and it was mixed with other liquids," said Johan.

"Look, Steven, this body is naked and the faces are all the same," Radit said.

"Wow, it looks disgusting if it goes into this body," Steven said.

"Om Johan, is this skeleton also made from human bones?" asked Amelia.

"No, it's a special aluminum whose strength is adapted to human bones, and please, don't call me Om," said Johan.

"Okay, please lie down here," Johan said indicating the scanning bed.

"Wait a moment," Leonardo said.

"What's wrong, Leo?" asked Amelia. The others also looked over.

"Let the men try it first," Leonardo said.

"Uh, how come," said Laras.

Leonardo looked at Steven to help him. When Leonardo looked at him, he didn't understand what he meant at first, but instantly he remembered the plan last night.

"Yes, Laras, let the men try it first. You and the others will see," Steven said, looking for an excuse.

"Be-really, you'll see," said Raka, remembering last night's plan.

"Are you three weird? Planning something, huh?" asked Amelia, who felt that Leonardo, Steven and Raka were planning something.

"Yes, they are right, you better see it first," said Lampart. Hearing that, the women obeyed Lampart's words.

"Have you decided? Then, lie down over there and whatever bed you're in. Oh yeah, pick your team now," Johan said.

"I proposed the team. Me with Leonardo, Gilbert, and Jiyan. The other team is Radit, Raka, and Fauzan. How about it?" asked Steven.

"Yes, there is nothing wrong. Agreed, right, Dit, Zan?" asked Raka.

Radit and Fauzan didn't complain, and neither did Jiyan and Gilbert.

"You see, this child is planning something," said Amelia.

"Okay, now, enter your name on the hologram screen in front of you. Then, you lie down, and these two guys will put a pulse meter on your body," Johan said.

A few moments passed and everyone was ready for the scan.

"Okay, close your eyes, then calm down and relax," Johan said, while adjusting something on the monitor display.

"Then start the scanning," said Johan.

Then, the bed machine scans and emits a striped light from the feet to the head and back to the feet slowly. This scan took about five minutes. After that, the artificial body inside the liquid-filled tube on the wall of the scanning room disappeared, and then opened up.

"Alright, you can open your eyes," Johan said using the loudspeaker in the room.

"Good, let's slowly get out of the tube and try to walk here," Johan said.

Then, the 7 homunculus walked slowly towards Johan and Amelia stood up and they arrived.

"So, what do you do? Don't keep quiet, you can speak up," said Johan.

"This is amazing!" said one of the homunculus.

"Bang Johan, how do we know which one is Radit and which one is Leo?" Hana said.

"Ah, yes. Please look at the monitor, there are their names. The number beside it is the identity of the homunculus. Look at the back and cheeks of the homunculus, there are numbers there," said Johan.

"Hey, Hana look, I'm naked in front of you," said Raka showing his body. "Hey, I want to hit you," said Amelia.

"Yes yes yes... sorry, just kidding. After all, this is also covered in very tight clothes," said Raka.

"It feels strange inside this body. It's tall like a real body, but it doesn't have a pussy," Gilbert said as he groped his lower body.

"Yeah, it's weird that something is missing," Jiyan said, joining in the groping. Britta, who was watching, spoke up, "Hey, no perverts!" she said.

"The protest can be stored later, this is also still a prototype," said Johan.

"Ok, now you go into the room by that door," pointing to the door at the end of the room, "then there are stairs down and wait there. I and the others will go back to the control room upstairs," Johan said.

Hearing Johan's instructions, Radit and the others followed his directions, while Johan and the others returned to the control room except for his 2 subordinates who became the real bodies of Radit and his friend.

Raka and the others had arrived at the room Johan had indicated.

"It's dark here, I can barely see anything," Jiyan said.

After that, the room suddenly lit up and there were a lot of weapons in it.

"Woah, this is cool, there are many weapons here and even a sword," said Raka.

Suddenly, there was a sound in the room.

"Test - test, are you listening? If you do, look at the camera in the corner and say yes," said the source and it was Johan's voice and they all said yes.

"Okay, I forgot to explain something earlier, some of you might not have realized. You must be having trouble distinguishing the names of the people on the body, right? Now look at the top of each of your heads and others, there are your names so you don't have to struggle to distinguish someone just by numbers," said Johan.

"Now let me explain the rules," Johan said and the monitor screen in the room lit up on its own as he explained the rules, the shape of the battlefield and more.

"So as agreed, the team consists of two, the blue team: Steven, Leonardo, Gilbert, and Jiyan. Then the red team is Radit, Raka, and Fauzan," said Johan.

"Oh yeah, have you ever played airsoft gun?" said Johan. Everyone answered yes.

"Then I don't need to explain how to use weapons here," Johan said.

"Bang Johan, I have a question," said Raka. "Yes, what is it?" said Johan.

"Are all the guns here real bullets?" said Raka.

"Yes, you can see for yourself that they are all real, not toys," said Johan.

"Woah, crazy good," said Raka.

"So, you can use any weapon here. But you are only allowed to carry 1 main weapon, 1 backup weapon and if you carry swords, knives, explosives, or others, it is free," said Johan.

"Explosives, om, seriously?" said Amelia.

"Yes of course, this is a battle simulation, and don't call me om," said Johan.

"Now you take your gear, then the doors to the arena will open and you will be guided to your positions according to your respective teams," Johan said.

"Sip, it's time to choose a weapon," Steven said. They were all busy picking out their favorite weapons and choosing the ones that would look good in battle.

Radit saw the sword and looked eager to use it. "Want to use this sword?" said Raka.

"I want to, it looks cool, but my powers aren't active yet. How can you use a sword when your opponent uses an automatic rifle," said Radit.

"Just bring it, who knows your power is active during this simulation. After all, you were taught how to use a sword at my place before," said Raka.

"Hahaha... those weird guys, I'm reminded of them again. Okay, I'll take it," said Radit.

After some time they finished fitting and selecting their combat gear and the doors of the enormous arena opened.

"Let me remind you, think of the prosthetic body as your real body, so that you don't take impossible risks," Johan said.

"Yes-yes, uncle. Don't keep it in mind, me and the others already understand," Leonardo said.

"Radit, are you ready?" said Leonardo.

"Sure," said Radit.

"Don't lose again," Raka told Steven.

"Heh... You're the loser this time," Steven said.

"Don't fight between teams, Bang Steven. You'll lose, you know..." said Fauzan.

"You take too long, I'll target you later, you people," Steven said.

"I wonder if this will win?" said Jiyan.

"Come on everyone, let's get started," Gilbert said.

"Okay, let's start this simulated battle," said Raka. All of them, each team, followed the robot drones to their respective team locations.

What do you think, will the battle be very intensive?

Hurry up and read on!

All right.
