"Shanaz. Child of XII IPA-2. Very quiet, enclosed, and likes to be alone. The second child of three siblings, one older sister, and one younger brother. Parental status is still complete."
"Oh, I called your father's number and said you were staying at a friend's house. Your father looked angry so I'll try to make sure you don't get too scolded."
"You're not helping, you're making things worse," Ahio said. In her heart, she thought. "A woman whose body I took over is the second of three siblings just like me. Good, I live life exactly in the real world."
Acier saw Lian walking hurriedly to approach the two of them. "Professional, here she comes."
Ahio grimaced, the atmosphere of Lian's arrival was more like a demon coming in than a human bully with a steely mentality.
"Step aside, Darius Acier. An Intel revealed a bullying case. Oh, that's great, what a very noble intention."
Acier chuckled that the information he had guarded as best as possible was easy for Lian to find in just one night.
"You're too old for disguising yourself, man. You leave or I'll evict you and your job."
Ahio was stunned. "Oh my God, she's badass and bad."
"Sorry, Miss Zebua, it doesn't matter with my job. You still have to be punished. The law cannot be lopsided."
Lian snorted and suddenly Acier's cell phone made a sound, an incoming call. Acier snorted turning off the phone call.
"Why don't you raise a cell phone? Raise it so I can hear you have been dishonorably discharged." Lian fluffed A hair to the side. She snorted when saw Ahio. "Poor Shanaz, now you are a slut. Just so you know, you are being used. Idiot girl."
Lian glared and poured drinking water on Ahio's head then turned to Acier. "I am patient with respecting you Aldesh players. I don't bring a bodyguard every time I watch you guys practice or play, I try to go in alone. And to You, Acier, you is the worst Aldesh player in history."
"Watch out, you play with me." Lian smiled crookedly then left. Acier quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Ahio's hair.
"I'm sorry I didn't save you, feel this sensation carefully," said Acier and Ahio looked confused.
Acier followed Lian wherever she went until her back was not visible.
"Wow... Acier is close to Shanaz!!!"
Many people cheered for Acier and Shanaz. Acier was fed up decide pulled Ahio away to come with him. Acier's steps did not falter as he led Ahio to the front of the class. "Come in class. Recess, we'll meet again."
Ahio watched Acier leave, suddenly confused, afraid and worried rolled into one. Ahio was confused about whether or not to go to class. The woman looked at the class as if she saw the gates of hell. "In the real world, the only bullying I experience is that I feel like an alien being who is not considered, here bullying is like murder."
Ahio gripped the bag strap tightly, she didn't know where Acier got the school supplies for her, the important thing was that Ahio went to school.

"You're back?" Ahio asked.
Pale face.
If you've ever seen a corpse, that's what Ahio looks like now.
"The learning material here is difficult. I blanked out and was punished for answering the quiz wrongly. The punishment was being made to circle the basketball court five times."
"You were punished alone?" Acier asked.
"No, around five students were punished. When we were punished, the IPS class currently sports. They make fun of me. These people, say, that if there is fruit falling, students in class IPA have to calculate the speed of falling fruit, whereas in IPS it immediately becomes money. The thing I'm afraid of is, this is the same as when I was in the real world. Are an time intervals, mixed up? I'm worried, how is my family in the other world?"
Ahio bit a finger in dizziness at the thought of his father's smile fading and his mother's hope dimming.
Ahio glared. "Could it be that mine and Shanaz's souls have been swapped?"
"I don't know, but what do you mean about the real world?" Acier a frowned.
Ahio couldn't help but have to explain how he first became trapped in that world.
Acier put an index finger, to the chin. "You slept at home and when you realized you were trapped in Shanaz's body who was in the training stadium. Maybe this is what is called a time dimensional interval. You must often hallucinate that's why you're trapped in a random place. But this is the real world. What is the name of your country?"
"Indonesia."
Acier put a hand, in a pocket. "This is also Indonesia. The difference is that where you live is a village while this is a city."
Ahio deadpanned, blinking. "Oh my God, that means my soul has been switched."
"Let's find where I live, Acier," said Ahio.
Ahio urged Acier to quickly open, A cell phone. "Quickly open your cell phone, I don't have a cell phone. If I had one I wouldn't bother you."
"Be patient..."
Kletang!
Ahio was surprised that someone threw a stone at the rooftop door. Then not long after, a loud noise echoed.
"Hey, open the door!"
The sound of cursing grew louder. "Here, you look for it yourself. I'll take care of brat." Acier gave a cell phone, to Ahio.
The woman nodded, glaring A cell phone. Not infrequently a forehead furrowed, in annoyance don't know how to operate the mobile device. "How is this supposed to play this thing!?"
Ahio bit A finger. She clicks one of the screen's virtual buttons. "Oh God, please don't break it."
Acier approached Ahio while rubbing one palm against the other. "Is found?"
Acier approached.
Pletak!
"Ouch." Ahio held the top of a head where Acier had hit.
"Not that, stupid. Klik this."
Ahio snorted, a little surprised for the first time seeing Acier angry. "I also have a cell phone but yours is difficult to operate," Ahio cursed.
She saw the entrance. The surface of the eye bulged to see two ghosts standing guard and the noisy voices of brats disappeared.
Gluk. Ahio swallowed an saliva, difficulty. "The ghosts of sundel bolong and kuntilanak," thought Ahio.
She quickly turned her gaze to Acier, unable to look any longer.
