Aswa stood up and walked away. "Arca..." He called Arca.
Arca then also left, "Tomorrow we will go to Srengseng!" Aswa said.
The two of them then left Mondy.
"Oh yeah!! Don't underestimate Srengseng! They have a leader who is said to be powerful and respected there!" Mondy shouted to Aswa and Arca.
They walked away while looking back, "Respected?" Aswa.
"Powerful? Could it be that he's immune to attacks? Or immune to fire?!" Arca
The two of them walked away while thinking about it.
"Whatever it is, just don't drag me into your problems!!!" Mondy said.
He stayed in the canteen to eat.
Aswa and Arca headed to class.
[ CLASS 10-F ]
A male teacher with half bald white hair was teaching in their class, "So that was the story of the greatness of the father! The man who almost controlled a region—"
In the middle of his lesson, Aswa and Arca sneaked into the class innocently and then sat down.
The teacher glared at them, "You're just disturbing the lesson, get out!! get out!!" He shouted and tried to drive Aswa and Arca out impulsively.
But they ignored his words.
"I'm talking about you two!!," the teacher pointed at Aswa and Arca.
Aswa and Arca instead looked backward.
"Not anyone else!!! But you two!! Quickly get out of my lesson!!!" The teacher said angrily.
Aswa and Arca then left the class.
"Tch, kids these days are so naughty!! Back in my day, I was—"
The teacher continued his lesson.
"Please! Someone stop his talking!" Thought the students in the classroom.
*DINGG* The school bell rang, signaling 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
"Hooray!!!" They all jumped and ran to go home.
"Sorry sir, we're going home first!!"
Suddenly the class became quiet, "Typical kids these days." The teacher then left the classroom carrying a book titled, *Generation of Warriors*
The classroom lights went off.
[ THE NEXT DAY IN SRENGSENG ]
"Huff... Huff... W-wait a moment to rest," Mondy looked exhausted.
He sat on a fallen tree by the roadside.
"You're still young but you get tired fast," Aswa wore a white sweater with black pants, while
"He probably just lies around at home all day!" Arca wore a black tank top with black jeans.
"Why don't you wear a shirt?" Aswa asked Arca.
"My clothes are all white. If I wear them, they might get dirty." Arca
*TIIINNN!! TIIINNN!!* The sound of many vehicle horns.
"Why are they so noisy honking?" Arca stood up straight.
"Maybe that's how they greet here!" Aswa.
Behind them, a truck and other vehicles were stuck in traffic because they were standing in the middle of the road.
"Are those two crazy?!" The truck driver behind looked angry from inside the car.
"He's only wearing a tank top! I think they really are crazy!" Said a guy beside the truck driver.
Mondy then pulled Aswa and Arca to the side, "You guys, don't embarrass me! Haven't you ever been taught that crossing the road is dangerous?" Mondy scolded.
The trucks and other vehicles began to move again.
They didn't care when Mondy scolded them; they looked focused on something else.
"If someone talks, listen!! What exactly are you looking at?!" Mondy was curious about what they saw.
It turned out they were looking at a large forest behind Mondy.
*WOSHHH*
Something flew from the forest towards them and aimed at Mondy.
*BWAGHH!* Aswa hit the object and pushed it aside.
Then it flew towards a car that was moving.
*BHUAKK* The car then overturned.
But there were only small scratches.
The flying object was a giant monitor lizard weighing 3 tons and 5 meters long, about the size of that car.
"H-how is that possible? That's a monitor lizard, right? How can it be that big?!" Mondy looked shocked and scared at the same time.
They looked towards the forest, where there was a sign that read "HAUNTED AREA!!"
