Chapter 24 - The Journey to Srengseng [3]

They were walking towards Srengseng High School.

Then they arrived at an intersection where the traffic light was red.

Their car stopped. While waiting, suddenly a crowd of schoolchildren ran past them.

"Run!! Damn it, we lost!!"

They seemed to wear middle school uniforms with dark blue pants that looked dirty, torn, and even stained with red marks.

They ran hurriedly and had injuries on their bodies.

"Huh, these kids aren't studying properly at all!!" Pak Fani looked furious.

"What exactly are they doing?" Mondy asked Pak Fani.

From behind those middle school kids, another crowd appeared running. "Chase and catch them!!"

"You guys only know how to run away!"

"This weak performance? It's embarrassing, you know, for our school!"

This time it appeared to be high school students wearing light blue pants running.

"Every day their only activity is fighting!!" Pak Fani

"Fighting? They are fighting?" Mondy

"That's strange. Isn't there only one high school in Srengseng? Which high school are they fighting with?" Arca seemed to know something.

Pak Fani fell silent for a moment and then said, "They are not fighting other high schools! They are fighting with the middle school students!"

Arca and Mondy looked shocked.

Apparently, they had never imagined such a thing in their minds.

"What?! They are fighting with middle school students? Damn them, only brave against little weak kids!!" Mondy said angrily.

"Actually, not always! There have been cases where middle schoolers were stronger than high schoolers! But still, they really crossed the line!" Arca.

"Huh..." Pak Fani exhaled deeply, "Such things have become a tradition here, especially when middle school students want to enter high school, the fights get really intense!!" Pak Fani

"Tradition?" Mondy

"Back then they only trained middle schoolers so that when they entered high school they would be ready to defend, but ever since a new leader appeared at Srengseng High School, whom they consider a legend, the rules changed so that only the worthy may join!" Pak Fani

"Now it's the era of legends, huh?" Arca

Aswa just remained silent, listening to their conversation. "What are you talking about?" Aswa.

"You don't know, Aswa?! A true troublemaker like you doesn't know what fighting is?" Mondy said in disbelief.

Pak Fani gave a signal to permit an explanation. "Fighting is a brawl or violence done by a group of people, usually students from different schools."

"It basically means a fight between different groups!" Arca

"You understand that too, Arca?" Mondy

Aswa then smiled.

Mondy and Arca looked puzzled at him. "What's wrong with you?" Arca asked.

"I'm just curious about how strong the Srengseng legend is!" Aswa seemed excited.

The light turned green, signaling it was time to move.

"Oh right, I forgot this car has a music feature." Pak Fani

"Really?! Cool, set it up, set it up quickly." They became impatient.

"Alright, alright." Pak Fani

'Once I was just a tribal chief, now I am king, how great I am—'

"Why did you turn it off?!" They were confused as the music suddenly stopped.

"We have arrived at Srengseng High School, the best high school in Srengseng!" Pak Fani

Aswa then got out and looked around. "Pretty nice, huh."

Mondy and Arca also got out. "What's so great about Srengseng High School? There's only one anyway!" Mondy

"Wait? This Srengseng High School, how could it be this nice? Look, the gate is made of stone mixed with gold and look at that building, it looks very beautiful and antique." Mondy looked impressed.

"What are you guys doing? Srengseng High School is across the street, you know!" Pak Fani.

Then they looked across the street, which was blocked by cars. "Is this the school, seriously?" Mondy.

"Seriously that one? It looks more like a rundown building than a school!" Arca
