AFTER THE ASSEMBLY, Katherine WAS THE FIRST ONE TO LEAVE BEFORE
ANYONE CAN CALL HER. SHE CHOSE
TO SIT AT THE SMALL LAKE LOCATED
BEHIND THE SCHOOL, while she busy
puff out smoke from the cigarette,
from afar she saw three figure walking towards her. She let out a small smirk, shake her heads before pull some more from the lung disease caused "are we allowed to smoking here?" a voice called out for her. She look up, seeing Nai. Maki and Tibet standing awkwardly meanwhile the girl herself sitting leg crossed while leaning against some big rock there.
"do you see anyone here? of course
not," the girl replied, taking
another pull and let out the smoke
slowly.
"my name's Maki, nice to meet you
what's yours?"
*just call me yn "
"we're lucky enough to have an
open-air like this to breathe." She
added, looking around the small lake
area, there's a few bench here.
"why did you two want to study here? you're scholarship students, aren't you?" Nai asked for Maki and Tibet, knowing only two of them here because of the scholarship meanwhile Nai and yn just here because of their parents. "I came because of my mom." Tibet answered, after that turn to Maki. "what about you?" he asked back. I'm here for myself. I lived at the orphanage, there's no chance for me to study at any good school. I think this school can pave the way for me." "here? don't you think this place is so strange? it's full of weird rules. no school courses out there would involve getting students drugged," Nai said again. "but what's strange than this place is your family, they knew full well what you would be facing here, but they still tried to pass the exam for you to let you study here." Maki explained. "most people think the kids from known family like us being a spoiled brat and untamed, of course their children are their future, will takeover some business, company yadda yadda. so in order to make us a CEO, they need to prepare ourself first," she replied long, throwing away her finised cigarettes and stand up. All of them quiet down after yn explanation, of course, Nai came from known family and Pierce family who famously in business, all people in business world look forward to work with them and seeing how the future CEO of their parent's business will be, unlike Maki or Tibet who in scholarship, before any of them saying anything.

students. Pheng, Bwi and Pennhung. they're not seeing the rest. "what? where are the others? where have they been to? Tibet ask. "Pennhung saw them escape from here do we call this skipping school?" the beanie guy who sit still on the chair replied, not making eye contact with anyone around him. *escaping?" "but it's the forest outside,"

interupted, making yn nodded at
the words.

voice clearly scared just imagined the

them back to Home School,"
"pardon? why do we have to search
for them? like yn said, this school
don't have guards or something? it's
the duty of Masters isn't it?"
"we've just moved here, we aren't
familiar with the route. if we search
for them in the forest, we might get lost
too,
"Master, you told us yourself that the
forest is dangerous, didn't you? why
are you making us go there? we aren't
the ones trying to escape," Bwi fight
back, not wanting to go to the forest.
"it's because it's your responsiblity.
according to rule six, every student must be responsible for each other's life, as GENG students, all of you are friends with each other." Master Yani's voice slowly raise up as her explain the
rules.
