After 45 minutes, we tried all the tricks. From imagining other books that we really liked, or doing strange rituals before trying to bring up the book. and nothing worked. in the midst of the confusion, I heard a loud laugh. I was looking for where it came from. it turned out that the sound came from Erika. for a few moments, she was laughing out loud.
"I...I just can't hold it at all." while covering her mouth, so her laughter would decrease. but, her face was still filled with a joyful smile. yea, this is a rare event.
" "Then, I wonder why you became like this?" Irvan asked with raised eyebrows and eyes full of question marks.
"Actually, I forgot to tell you one important thing." she said while wiping a few drops of her tears from her eyes.
Mike asked with a shrug of his shoulders "What is it?", widening his eyes in curiosity.
"Saying... we should also say which book we want to appear. For example, I want the Science notebook." Erika said with a faint smile.
After Erika said that. all of us quickly tried it. first, we all tried to take out our study notebooks. and it all worked. we were all able to bring up the notebooks that we used to have at school. uniquely, the books that we brought out, they were exactly the same as our notes such as the writing, the stains, and the layout. it was like a duplication of the original.
After we all figured it out, the answer was simply "Say it". it turns out that Erika can forget to say that very important little thing. and we solved our first problem in this "game".
We decided to continue the discussion.
Erika stood up, confidently "As you can see, this trick can only bring up our notebooks during school. this further confirms my guess that the exam at the weekend is a theory exam. therefore, I have a solution. what if, during this week we hold group study activities? this will increase our chances of success in our first exam. and we will get a life in a prosperous country, as we all hope to have in Boren."
Then, Rudy stood up to express his opinion. "I don't agree with that, you should realize that not everyone likes studying as much as you do. for example Juan gets bored very easily while studying. I'm not sure your way will be effective in dealing with this problem." while pointing at Juan who was digging his nose.
"Why me?" Juan replied, pulling his forefinger out of his nose.
I also stood up and expressed my opinion "Yeah I don't agree with that either. spending time only with studying. the problem is, we are in a luxurious villa, with a cold climate, and beautiful scenery. there is no way I want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime moment. maybe the country, it's just a lure that aims to interest us more in this game. I think the gameplay is not much different from the popular country-building simulation game.
Erika held her head as she continued to shake it. "I think you guys' brains are tired, right? After seeing all these things, you still say it's all going to be fake. it's just-"
Rudy cut Erika off, with a hand gesture like a dictator giving a speech. "No, I mean, the gameplay will still be the same. but, just in a different way. like maybe we'll set it up from the bathroom or somewhere else. the point is, there's no way they can make all the things they were saying before. MR Pop said we'll be here for a week. And do you remember what we came in here with? Yes, it's sleeping, in the real world right now our bodies are just falling asleep. I think they can only make us sleep for a few days. And after that, we'll wake up on the... what was yesterday's date? Well, maybe we'll wake up on the third day after we went to sleep." ending with a fist to the sofa.
I was also carried away by the burning spirits of Rudy "Yes, I also agree with your opinion, the special thing they want to show is just this, learning with new sensations. And what makes it all the more impossible is the length of time we sleep. I don't think our bodies will be able to handle just sleeping continuously, especially for one week."
Having received a lot of opposition to her idea, Erika was speechless. She didn't look upset or happy. the only thing on her face was that she looked flat, like a ghost in a horror movie. When seeing Erika like that, Mike as the leader of this discussion immediately took his steps. then he started to propose the last agenda, which was voting. Mike gave us two options from the discussion. the first one is that we are free to do anything here for this week. and the second option, we will hold a study session every day to face the exam at the end of the week.
With just a specially stamped toilet paper that we made with a pen that we found beside the side of the telephone, we made a very cool ballot. then we started the voting. one by one we came forward to vote. after everyone had stabbed the stamp of their choice. then came the final event of the day. I hope the first option will win. cause I already planned a lot of things for this week.
