After a long flight from Germany, Ms. Linda and Sir Joel arrived in Indonesia. As Generals of Asia within the Global Education Foundation, they brought with them the rigid educational system they had implemented in Europe. Every action, every decision, must be approved by their superiors, and any mistake, no matter how small, would lead to severe punishment. They were sent to manage elite schools in Jakarta, where they would impose their strict rules and maintain absolute control over the teaching process.

On their first day at the school, they gathered all the teachers and staff for a briefing. Ms. Linda stood at the front of the room, her voice sharp and commanding. "I want to remind you all that under the Foundation's system, no decision can be made without our approval. Every action in the classroom, every change you make, must be authorized. We are here to ensure that strict discipline is upheld," she said, staring down everyone present.

Sir Joel, who was known for his more reserved demeanor, added in a deep, serious tone, "We are here to train a generation that is not only intelligent but also obedient. There is no room for mistakes here. If anyone breaks the rules, the punishment will be in accordance with the severity of the offense."

The teachers and staff, who had grown accustomed to a more flexible approach to education, began to feel uneasy. They knew how strict Ms. Linda and Sir Joel were, and they were unsure how to navigate these new, rigid rules. However, they also knew that resisting wasn't an option, as both Generals of Asia wielded immense power and influence.

After the briefing, Ms. Linda and Sir Joel made their way to their first classroom. The students, already aware of their reputation, felt tense and anxious about their first lesson. Inside the classroom, Ms. Linda immediately set the tone with her stern discipline. "Before we begin," she announced, "I want to make sure everyone understands the rules. You will only speak if I give permission. All assignments will be checked carefully, and if anyone fails to meet the standard, you will be punished."

Sir Joel added, "You may be used to more relaxed ways, but here, you will follow the rules. If not, the consequences will be severe."

The students, who were used to a more relaxed atmosphere, were shocked by the sudden intensity. Every answer they gave, every movement they made, felt as though it was being scrutinized. Some students tried to speak quietly to a friend, but were immediately reprimanded by Ms. Linda. "Silence! No talking without permission. Do you not know the rules?" she snapped.

The students felt oppressed, but they also understood that resistance could lead to punishment. They began to realize that every small mistake could end in severe consequences. But beneath this stern exterior, Ms. Linda and Sir Joel weren't just teaching—they were also building their own power. They knew that as Generals of Asia, they held a level of authority that allowed them to influence the entire educational system in the region.

However, Ms. Linda and Sir Joel also began to feel the strain of their roles. Despite their high rank, they were still under the watchful eyes of their superiors, including the General of Asia, who had ultimate control over the entire region. They couldn't help but wonder: how much power did they truly have, and how much control did their superiors really wield over them?
