[Trouble] Chapter 11

Since then, Riz, Angela and Damian has been staying in that building. School soon started in January, and Amy brought Riz to a middle school inside the area, while she registered Angela and Damian into a kindergarten located just next to the middle school that Riz are now attending. Riz at first just attended the school as usual, though a bit sulky due to being forced to be willingly stay here, after a month he heard from his new friends that the school he is attending is a private school which are directly under a famous university. It were the same with the kindergarten that Angela and Damian attending.

With his friends guide, Riz walked around the place and the weekends, from building to buildings, and found out that the area is too big for him to finish exploring in the week. In the end, he went to the management building that he coincidentally stumble across during his walk, and by asking the staff at the counter then he understand why this place is composed of such a large area.

At night, Riz recalled what the management staff told him, which make him wonder exactly how rich is this Amy’s family and how can they support such a huge area.

The staff explained that the whole area is a private property owned by Amy, whereas Amy inherited this whole property from her deceased father. It was a fact that inside this property, the university, the high school, middle school and also kindergarten are all located in here, so all the students that was accepted into the school, universities or kindergarten will stay in a dormitory provided by Amy.

All the students studying here are allowed to have an outing on each weekends, which usually they used to go back to their parent home whenever they missed them. Though younger children that aged below 12 will each be assigned a protector to accompany them for their safety. The reason why they all are being protected is because each of this children is all of a brilliant brain, meaning they are a prodigies or a genius.

Despite being allowed to have an outing on every weekends, not many of the students studying there liked to come outside. The main reason is because inside this property, there are a lot of new buildings that was built for the entertainments of these students. So they mostly have fun with their friends there, after all it was safer too.

Since the property is too big, the management staff gave him a map which will help him a lot when he need to go around the place. On the map, Riz can see there were a few places called as district to make it easier for the students to remember, such as the university district, school district, central district, residential district, and entertainment district.

University are located on the west side, school district which consist of high school and middle school are on the north side, entertainment district is on the east side, the residential district which are where the dorms are and the teacher quarters are is located just next to west of the school district, lastly the central district is in the middle of all of those district, where the management building, kindergarten and also Amy personal building is located at. 

The big entrance gate is located on the south side, where the empty area between the gate and the other district is where a big garden are. The garden area actually are not that big before this, but because Amy liked flowers, so she ordered the management to add more.

Since this property is on top of a big hill, the whole surrounding outside of the gate wall are all thick forest, except on the south side which was cleared to make the travel to the big town for outing easier for the students.

With that, conclude the area inside of the property.

.._..

From then on, Riz take his time in exploring all the districts on the map while he earnestly learn at the school properly now because he can see that Angela and Damian has become accustomed to the kindergarten there and it seem like they don’t mind living there.

Riz want to make sure that Angela and Damian have a good education and the environment there are good, plus the teachers are patient despite all the trouble that Angela tend to make. For them, Riz stopped resisting and living there fully.

He is also getting used to Amy stalker behaviour, where she soon stopped when Riz spend some time with her in her office. She usually make him accompany her eating some snack there, or watching some movies, or also sometime asked Riz to help her arrange some of the documents into some file.

He really wonder what exactly that make her like him so much, he thought that but then again as long as she does not harm him or became weirder than this, it is fine for him.

It is now almost six month since he is living there, where there is a midterm exam as usual. Something was a bit different when children age 11 was asked to take an aptitude test, where they need to put their hand on a white globe, and different colour will show up for different people.

“What us that test for?” Riz asked one of his classmate when they finish that aptitude test. His previous school does not have that from what he heard from his seniors before.

“Ah, it’s a test to see what magic element you were born with.” His classmate told him and added, “Next year we will be learning about magic and also potion making.”

“Magic? Magic exist in this world?” Riz blinked twice, “I thought that it was just a wild fantasy of something… So it was real?”

“Mhm, other people will not be able to know about magic, since it’s a big secret” His friend said with a smile, “Only us students will know and we can’t use it openly either.”

“Ah why?” 

“Hmn, we don’t really know the exact reason… But mostly to avoid being called as monster by other public people… and also to prevent our students from bullying or accidentally killing public people.” As he said that, everyone nods with a face saying ‘that is reasonable’ since a person able to use magic are much stronger than an ordinary person.

“Anyway, what element you were?” They then started to discuss about this in a hustle and they wondered if it is hard to use magic.

As they were discussing, they asked Riz, Riz shook his head because he don’t know what element his magic were. The crystal become transparent when it was his turn instead of showing any colour.

“Ah, from this book, red is fire, blue is water, green is wind, yellow is wood, brown is earth, white is light, black is darkness” A nerd classmate of him said and show the book to everyone, “Wonder why yours is transparent…”

“Ah so I’m fire!” 

“Mine is just water?” 

“Yay! I got light!” 

“What?? Darkness?!” 

Many different chatter was sounded after they saw the book, some was happy and some was just fifty fifty.

With that, the teacher then allowed all the students to dismiss, since that aptitude test was the last test, so they all were now given a month midyear break from school. More than half of the student living in the dormitory choose to return to their parent homes, this is especially true for those who came from a far place.

Because the school yearly fees are high, each time the students are going home, Amy provided buses to send them to each area, so these students does not need to trouble their selves from the need to ride public transport. So with that they will not take too long of a time to arrive to their homes.

The rest that stayed either helped around by doing miscellaneous task to earn pocket money for their entertainment as there are also students that does not come from a rich family. Despite that, those task were usually one suitable and easy to do for them due to the good relationship between the place and the town people.

Nevertheless, the few that Riz’s classmate that are staying instead of going home dragged Riz to the cinema in the entertainment district to watch a movie that they have been waiting. Other than that they also planned to go play at the arcade, playing at the wet world which is a medium sized water theme park and so on.

Angela and Damian stayed with Amy today since they know that Riz is out playing with his classmate until night, though Angela pouted for being left behind like this. 

“Mou… Big brother is playing too much” Angela said with a huff, as she noms her food, the three of them are currently eating dinner with a television drama playing on the tv as they ate. Damian didn’t pay her any attention as he was quite absorbed in watching that drama.

Amy chuckled and shook her shoulder as she thought that Riz is growing well now, eventhough it was just only six month since they stayed here, he seemed to already be able to adapt here well, so him went playing with his classmate is something good. 

Why she thought so? It is because from what she read in a report of his behaviour before this, the report stated that Riz never went out of his house, only staying with Angela and Damian. Furthermore, he has a lot of friends, but has never socialize outside of school time.
