It was seven in the morning when Aurina woke him up. By lunch and dinner yesterday, they managed to act as if nothing had happened in front of Aurina and Zio. The rest of the day was quite uneventful. Though he didn't notice the worried glance Zio and Henry kept shot at him. Henry was fine with not telling Aurina, but Zio? He felt it was plain stupid.

Alfizar looked at himself in the mirror, his school does not require them to wear a uniform. They could wear anything they want as long as it was polite and didn't expose too much skin. But they were required to wear a badge that will help the teacher to know that they are a student from the same school, and they have to always bring the device that he received from Henry a few days ago.

It was not only a student identification device but also where they save the data of everything related to school, only his school have this kind of technology, they called it USID Card, the short name for USB Identification Card.

They never had the need of a book, as it was the only thing they need at school. The badge design was quite simple, just a GIPEC word. Goldenfalion International Private Education Center or also known as GIPEC was a school with four section in it. Elementary, middle, high school, and University. Every section has a different badge color, red for elementary school, blue for middle school, silver for high school, and golden color for University.

The current technology allowed the government to slowly decrease the used of woods for unnecessary needs. All the trees that have been felled will be planted with new trees, the governments doing their best to avoid the same disasters that had happened years ago from occurring again.

While having breakfast, all of them was staring at Zio, he looks... neat. As if he was going to a job interview.

"Did you get a job, Uncle Zio?" Aurina asked.

"I did, as a doctor. I will drive you three to school, then pick you up after clubs time. Just to remind you Alfi, as usual in public, I'm not your Uncle Zio, I'm your father, this time our family's name is Leonore." Zio looked at Alfizar seriously. Alfizar nods his head.

It's been two years since they keep changing their family name. And now it was Leonore. Apparently, they change their name to deceive people who mean harm to Alfizar and Aurina. Zio and Henry suspected that the accident that killed his father and mother was not just an ordinary accident, but premeditated murder.

After breakfast, it was already eight am. They get in the car. Henry helped him up and climbed into the car while Zio put his wheelchair in the car trunk. If his leg didn't cause him some pain while walking, he won't take it with him anymore. But he would be good in a few days. And then, he was going to burn the cursed thing to ashes. That wheelchair makes him feel like an invalid.

The car was big enough for six people, with black color. There is no steering wheel, it was being folded in the dashboard as people prefer auto drive because it was much safer. Zio touches a few commands at the car's touchscreen in front of him. Then, the car begins to move.

Along the way, tall buildings were visible, trees are planted along the road. It was very difficult to find plants and trees twenty years ago all over the world. But then all the world's leaders began ordering the planting of trees to green the earth again. All vehicles in the world also no longer use oil as fuel but use electricity. Nuclear that was formerly used for war, now used as a power plant. The safety was assured. It took twenty years to reach the present state of the world.

After thirty minutes on the way, finally, their car passed through the big gate that reads Welcome to GIPEC. Then they crossed a large bridge connecting the Rulid city and the artificial island of GIPEC. Then Zio dropped them off at the car park. After helping Alfizar settle in his wheelchair, Aurina apologize because she had to leave quickly saying that she promised to meet a teacher.

"I will see you later brother!" She quickly gave him a peck on his cheek then run.

"Hey! I'm the older one here!" Alfizar shouts at her back, his face red with embarrassment.

"Only by one year!!!" She shouts back at him, then she began to walk along with some girls that maybe were her friends. Alfizar groaned into his palms while Henry secretly laughs from his behind him.

"Okay, I don't care about who is older between you two. This is the phone you asked for, call me if you need me." Zio said as he gave him a black smartphone.

"It's about time you buy me a new one," Alfizar said. His old one has broken because of that incident a month ago. It was the newest type of phone.

"Henry go bring your brother to the teacher's office," Zio said as he gets in the car.

"Yes, Dad," Henry said as he pushed the wheelchair while snickering. They always keep up the act in public. Although it was sometimes unnecessary, they often used it to tease each other. Along the way, Alfizar received a few curious stares, but many students lost interest immediately.

It's not rare to found a student in a wheelchair or using a walking stick at this school. Though many of them were because of injury since GIPEC have many abnormal clubs such as combat club, many students get injured because of those kinds of activity. There is also a few disabled students who go to GIPEC purely because of their academic achievement.

Take about ten minutes to reach the teacher's office. The automatic glass door opened as they step into the room. Henry's eyes scanned the high school teacher's office, then he spots the one he was looking for. There were so many teachers walked around carrying Laptops, there were also many desks which were neatly arranged.

"Mrs.Aritha," Henry called out to her with a grin. "We are here!" He waved at her when she looked around to found the owner of the voice, the moment their eyes met she smiled brilliantly.

"Hello Henry, so this is your little brother you talked about before?" Mrs.Aritha asked. She looks like she's in her early thirty. Her blonde hair was neatly tied into a high ponytail. She wears a tight black suit and a high heel.

"Yeah, I need to go to university section now, before I'm late. I will leave him in your care Mrs.Aritha." Henry said asked for leave.

"Sure, don't worry about him. He will make friends in no time!" She said positively. Then Henry left.

"Hello Mrs.Aritha, my name is Alfizar Leonore, as you know, I'm Henry's brother. I will be in your care." Alfizar slightly bowed his head respectfully.

"Hello Alfizar, I will be your homeroom teacher from now on." Mrs.Aritha said as she goes back to her desk to retrieve a tablet. "tell me your email address, I will send you your schedule later," and so Alfizar told her his email address. "Let's get going to the class now before the bell rings, can you hold this for me, I will push your wheelchair." She hands him her tablet.

"Actually, ma'am. I can wheel myself just fine."

"With that thin arm? We will be late by then." She said then casually wheel him to the class.

"My name is Alfizar Leonore, I hope I can get along with everyone." Alfizar introduces himself in front of the class. The class was quite big, there were even air conditioners. Well, the entire part of the school has it. There were 34 students in this class. One desk was used by two people, but there was 2 empty seat as there were students that have the desk all for themselves.

"If any of you have questions, ask him later. You may go to your seat there, Alfizar." She pointed at the far corner of the class. And so he does as she told him to. Actually, there was no chair there, ... yet. Since he was in a wheelchair now, he could get his own chair later.

"Yo! I'm Vianzo, The Class Representative. The girl over there, the one with her hair black braided and wearing a glasses, her name is Frida Vonzuck, she is also the class rep." His seatmate said as he pointed to a girl who seats in front of the teacher's desk. As if she knew that Vianzo talked about her, she turned around and waved at Alfizar with a smile, then she turned back again as Mrs.Aritha began the morning class.

He didn't tell Alfizar his last name, Alfizar notice. There were only two possibilities, he was an orphan or disowned by his family. Vianzo had a dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. His body looked like the athletic type. "If you need any help in the future look for me." He smiled.
