Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Confusion and motivation

The trees gave out a fresh green color as they danced with the flowing wind, meanwhile the skies formed a gorgeous painting, as if created by the most professional and talented painter. White strikes circled around the sky, with each stroke looking perfect in all angles.

Each of them showed different shapes and sizes, telling unique tales of their own using the fluffy clouds. Colorful butterflies enamored the majestic variety of flowers blooming within the school garden.

With all these together, it will create a surreal yet beautiful painting that transcends the creativity among the best painters in the country.

But instead of admiring such an amazing view from the window, Ain decided to play with his pen, trying to cure himself from boredom. He continued to spin the pen around his fingers, making the pen spin rapidly. While he was spinning his pen away, a noise from the classroom door interrupted his play time.

He was startled then mmediately looked over to the door, wondering who caused such a ruckus, and well, it was none other than the man himself, Elvis.

"Is Leia here?" Elvis asked, a sense of irritation could be heard from his tone. After he asked his question, the students shook their heads as a gesture of saying "no". Seeing this, he turned to look at Ain, ah no, Cale. He glared at Cale for a few moments then walked towards Cale's desk, his feet stomping the ground violently, like a giant, which made the entire classroom shake. Well, in Ain's perspective.

Ain looked calm and dazed on the outside, but on the inside, he's panicking as if he's about to get chased by a pack of hounds.

'System!!! System!! You better come back here!' Ain frantically called out the system's name in his head, praying that the system would respond back.

[ Hello! :D ]

'Why's this man so angry at me!?!?'

[ I don't know, i'm not a mind reader.. --.-- ]

'You useless piece of-'

Before he could even finish his sentence, Elvis arrived at his desk, his eyes narrowed and his brow furrowed. "You. Where is Leia." Elvis asked Cale, at this point, it could not even be considered as a question anymore, but rather a threat.

Seeing Elvis's intimidating aura, Ain prayed silently inside his head. "I don't know either.. maybe check the library or places related to books" Ain suggested, hoping that Elvis would go away after.

"Hm... alright, what's your name?" Elvis asked, his expression revealing a hint of curiosity.

Ain blinked for a few minutes, then thought to himself 'What? These two characters didn't meet in the novel?'

[ System here! No, they did not meet. :) ]

'Wait, what?' Ain was puzzled, and his mind went into a state of confusion.

Ain kept on zoning out, unable to answer Elvis's question. This ensued Elvis into becoming slightly annoyed, thinking he got ignored.

"Hey, hey." Elvis called out to Cale, hoping that he would answer, but unfortunately, he did not. Several minutes passed, and Ain finally snapped back to reality. He blinked for a moment then slowly lifted his head up to look at the standing Elvis in front of him. And just by looking at his expression, you could already tell whether your life is going to be spared or not.

"Ahaha.. heyy.. sorry about that, I zoned out there. My name right? My name's Cale, pleasure to meet you." Ain nervously laughed, a cold bead dripping from his temples.

"Cale huh.. okay." Elvis nodded then turned around to leave the classroom. He stopped walking midway, wanting to say something to Cale one last time before he could exit the room. "See you, Cale." After saying this, he continued to walk towards the exit door and completely left the area. Although he may have already left, the eerie atmosphere was still lingering in the classroom.

After Elvis left, Cale sighed in relief, wiping off his sweat. He couldn't wrap his mind around what just happened, and remained still, just like a rock.

"I don't know what's going on inside that man's head, and I don't want to know. I just want to finish this mission and get back to my world alreadyy!" Cale whined like a baby, complaining nonstop.

[ Whining wont make things any better! Get yourself together! >:b ]

"Oh shut it you blinding blue square. Anyway, I should start my mission now, Starting this quickly can end it quickly." Ain stretched his arms then stared at the plain ceiling, feeling dazed. Afterwards, he jumped out of his chair, feeling motivated and fired up.

"Alright, let's finish this mission fast before things get difficult to handle!"
