1'
the atmosphere that night felt so... heavy. the hall turned quiet as our eyes were glued to the ground. i glanced my eyes around to take a good look on what's going on. surely its not gonna be that bad, right? well, you're wrong.
"firstly, the dorms are VERY NOISY at night. male or female, you're the same. NO DIFFERENCE.", the leader of the boarding school, Meon, exclaimed at us as we fell silent.
"Secondly, the dorms. IT'S VERY, VERY MESSY. i, myself, does not know how MANY TIMES that i need to TIDY UP YOUR DORMS."
"Especially, the lamps. Always leaving the lamps open, for WHAT?? The leader of Dorm B, stand up now."
"..."
The leader of Dorm B, Mango, stood up with his eyes glued to the floor. Well of course, he probably noticed that everything could went wrong at that moment. And boy, he was right.
"Why did your dorm always leave the lights open, hm?"
"... I was doing some work and probably mislook—"
"I, MYSELF, ALSO DID SOME WORKS. BUT NOTICE MY DORM? OUR LIGHTS WERE CLOSED NORMALLY. SO WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE??"
".... I-"
"Get closer, now. Are you afraid that I might hurt you?", Meon who was standing in the front, ordered him.
"...", As Mango get closer to him, Meon suddenly passed the mic to his nearest person. Us, whose eyes were glued to the floor, looked up as we sensed that something's wrong.
The atmosphere suddenly got tense that the dogs starts to bark. We were of course, surprised but stayed silent. Our hearts were beating non-stop.
*PUSH*
"Why are your dorms always so messy, hm? Didn't I always remind you to close the lights? It's the 100th time, isn't it? Hm?"
Meon pushes the boy until he backs down and nearly hits the people nearby. Meon's tone almost sounded like a gangster who's waiting to just hit the boy with a metal pole.
*SLAP!*
"*GASP*"
"OH GOD-"
"THE FUCK—"
"WHAT THE—"
"I can't bear to look anymore—"
"EEP!"
Numerous sounds of gasps and surprised sounds came out of everyone's mouth. Ukhti Mek, who's considered the strictest among a other seniors, also covers her mouth. My friends, who's never had any experience of this kind of violence, closed their eyes and hid as a response.
"*grunts* ugh..."
"NEXT TIME, LISTEN TO MY WORDS. WHAT DO YOU THINK?? DO YOU THINK THIS SCHOOL IS YOURS?"
Just then, the discipline exco, who witnessed the scene, took the boy away like a criminal before Meon could manage to hit him anymore. By now, murmurs can be heard among us, but fell silent after that.
"FUCK YOU GUYS. WHAT? ARE YOU PERHAPS MAD THAT I SWORE AT YOU? WELL, HOW ABOUT YOU GUYS? REPORTED ME FOR FALSE INFORMATION. GOOD THING THAT THE WARDEN'S CLOSE WITH ME."
The air suddenly turned chiller that usual. I could sense that my hands were shaking by the sudden hitting. The birds were chirping very loudly, much like indicating that we're in danger. The moon shine brighter than usual.
"Heh, now, now. Shahir~ are you having fun by making fun of my words, hmm~?", Meon grabs the small boy by his collar.
"Is he gonna hit that boy?—"
"Bro fuck this shit, I'm out"
"What the—"
"... N-no—"
"SO MANY EXCUSES."
Meon slapped the boy until the boy grunts in pain. The Culinary Exco who's watching the scene grabs the little boy before Meon could punch him any further.
"Tch. Such shitheads.", he curses under his breath as he glances at us sharply.
"Heh, after prayer, I want everyone to do an after-class session. AND I WANT EVERYONE TO PARTICIPATE."
The hall went dead silent after that.

I walked out of the hall quickly. As Meon's close friend, he already told me that he was gonna scold the lower forms tonight. But my intuition was basically screaming that something bad is gonna happen.
I quickly walked to the toilet and stood infront of a mirror. My pained expression that's painted on my face could be seen clearly in the mirror. I clenched my fists and punched the wall besides me. Rage took over me at the moment, and luckily my friend, who coincidentally went to the toilet calmed me down.
After late-night-snack time, I walked over to my dorm. The dorms felt deathly hollow, but I ignored it and entered the dorm. To my surprise, all the members in the dorm seems to have lose the sparkles in their eyes.
"Wh... What happened?", I quickly asked and noticed the dorm leader, Mango, is missing.
"Mango... He.. he's been..."
"Wh- WHERE IS HE???", I started to exclaim and practically begs for them to tell me about him
"Calm down, Mal. He's in the infirmary, Meon punched him.", My dormmate, Shu, who's folding his clothes said.
"He's in WHERE NOW??"
"Y- you heard him, Abang Mal. He's in the infirmary...", Kai, who's 3 years older than Mal, said as tears threatened to fall down his eyes.
"Tck- that WRENCHED SCUM.", Shu, who's been folding his clothes, muttered under his breath as he clenches his fist.
*sigh* "There's nothing we can even do, Abang Mal. Abang Meon is the leader of this school, everyone will side with him...", Kai, who has started sobbing silently replied to them.
Yes. That's true. Even if Meon abuses his power, there's not a single person that'll trust us. After all, we're just a mere student.
Hah, how I wish.

As we stepped inside the infirmary, the nurses there starts to treats Mango's wounds. The punch Meon gave him earlier left some wounds on his face, and I was glad that I brought him here before Meon managed to punch him more.
"Haish, what happened, Leon? Why does the wound's so terrible?", the nurse asked me as he treats his wound.
"Ahaha- as per usual, Nurse Shin."
"Haiya, kids nowadays-"
"Ahah—"
Just then, the Culinary Exco barges in with another kid in his grasp.
"Quick! This one too, Nurse Shin!"
"Hoh? Another one?"
"Yes, yes."
I glanced over to the Culinary Exco, who's my junior. A year younger than me, but his facial features often makes people mistakes him as around my age.
"Hm? Oh! Abang Leon! You're here too?", Kazu asked with a pained expression in his face.
"Huh? Oh- yeah. What about you?"
"Hahah- same situation here, Abang Leon."
"I see..."
"..."
Deathly silent fall over us. We both just stared at the two injured boys infront of us who's being treated by Nurse Shin.
"Say, Abang Leon."
"Hm?"
"Would they both survive?"
"..Huh..?"
I... fell silent after the question. Although I'm known as the school's moving encyclopedia, I don't seem to have an answer for that.
"See, Abang Meon landed a punch that nearly be the death of them both. Say, would they survive?"
"... O-of course they would. Why wouldn't they? Hahah..."
"..."
"If that's what is is then..", he replied with a paimed smile on his face
Hah..
Looks like my answer was not enough to convince him.
