《Perempuan Pelupa》Bagian 36: Ulang Tahun Sekolah
Advertisement
Seminggu lagi, sekolahku akan memasuki usia yang ke 15 tahunnya. Sesuai dengan tradisi tahunan, sekolah ini akan mengadakan lomba dalam memeriahkan ulang tahunnya tersebut. Seluruh kelas diwajibkan untuk mengikutinya tanpa terkecuali. Bila hal itu tak dilakukan, maka kelas tersebut akan mendapatkan hukuman. Namun sampai saat ini, tidak ada kelas yang tidak mengikuti semua perlombaan yang ada, jadi aku tidak tahu seperti apa hukumannya.
Hari ini sebelum pulang sekolah, Nia akan memberitahukan apa-apa saja lomba yang akan dilaksanakan. Dan tentu saja pembagian siswa untuk mengikuti perlombaan tersebut. lalu dia menginfokannya kepada kami dikelas.
"Oke. Karena sebentar lagi sekolah kita akan mengadakan lomba dalam rangka ulang tahunnya. Aku akan memberitahukan kepada kalian, lomba apa saja yang akan dilaksanakan nanti."
Mereka semua mendengarkannya dengan seksama. Bedahalnya denganku yang malah melamun menatap kearah jendela. Nia melanjutkan pembicaraannya tersebut.
"Dan lomba yang diadakan adalah...."
Lalu dia membuka binder catatannya tersebut. Dan membacakannya kepada kami semua. Nia menyuruhku untuk menuliskan semua lomba dipapan tulis. Kenapa harus aku lagi? Pikirku dalam hati. Kemudian aku maju dan mengambil spidol yang terletak di meja guru. Aku menunggu Nia untuk mengatakan lomba apa saja yang akan diadakan. Nia terdiam sesat seperti memikirkan suatu hal. Lalu dia melanjutkan perkataannya tadi.
"Karena sebentar lagi sekolah kita akan mengadakan lomba..... Ehhhh aku tadi sudah mengatakannya ya? Sebentar-sebentar."
Mereka terlihat bingung dengan bicaranya Nia yang berulang-ulang tersebut. aku sempat berpikir, separah itukah sifat pelupanya itu? Lalu kulihat dia membuka binder catatannya tersebut dan melanjutkan pembicaraannya tersebut.
"Untuk lomba yang akan diadakan yaitu..... Ehhh ini sudah juga ya?"
Kami kembali bingung dengan perkataanya tersebut. Sebenarnya tidak hanya hari ini, sebelum-sebelumnya juga dia mengatakan hal yang sedikit membuat kami bingung dan berulang-ulang. Dia kembali melanjutkan pembicaraanya tersebut.
"Oiya, untuk pemilihannya kita akan mulai dari Lomba Catur, dan akan diteruskan dengan lomba-lomba berikutnya."

Hingga hampir semua perlombaan telah di sebutkan serta siapa saja yang menjadi perwakilannya. Aku sudah menuliskannya dipapan tulis. Sekarang tinggal lomba lari jarak pendek khusus laki-laki dan lari estafet khusus perempuan. Karena kami semua tidak ada yang ingin mengikuti lomba lari jarak pendek tersebut, maka Nia akan memutuskannya.
"Karena kalian gak ada yang mau ikut, maka akan aku pilih salah satu diantara kalian."
Lalu Nia melihat kearahku. Dan menunjukkan jari telunjuknya kepadaku. Aku merasa keberatan dan mengatakannya pada Nia dengan nadaku yang datar dengan tangan kananku menunjuk kearah diriku sendiri.
"Aku? Kenapa harus aku?"
Dia membalasnya dengan nada tingginya yang khas.
"Karena kamu tidak ikut perlombaan sama sekali."
Lalu kulihat papan tulis tersebut, memang benar aku tidak mengikuti perlombaan apapun. Karena aku sendiri malas untuk melakukannya. Nia melanjutkan pembicaraannya.
"Lagian, kamu sudah terbiasa berjalan kaki ketika pulang sekolah kan? Jadi, menurutku kamu cocok untuk mengikuti lomba tersebut."
Aku hanya bisa mengalah dan pasrah akan keadaan.Akupun menyetujuinya. Dan selanjutnya perlombaan estafet untuk perempuan.Disini yang mengikuti perlombaan tersebut adalah Nia, Hani, dan Lisa. Setelahsemua pembagian perlombaan telah selesai, kamipun bersegera untuk pulang.

The Yes-Mage
Plenty of people have stopped and asked what it'd be like to simply have everything, and Sylvain Henry Camille Johansson was no different. He was a man who had a lot of things going on, with a name that'd make a supervillain blush and a family who'd make even the useless of their rank into someone important. It was a shame, then, that he was slapped with a dreadfully unfortunate condition that kept him from living up to any of those already low expectations. Stuck living a life where magic is everywhere while he's left working with nothing more than a moderate intellect, a little bit of whatever influence he could get from his family, and a lifetime's practice at making himself the ideal subordinate for his bosses' boss, Vane was still beating the odds and slowly working his way up in the world. When the cunning yes-man finally got a chance to really make a name for himself, he leapt at the offer, taking his first real step onto a road he knew he was always meant to walk. His goal? Nothing less than finding out why he and too many other unfortunate souls are barred from the wonderful world of the higher energies, and with any luck, fixing it. Of course, life has a knack for interfering in even the humblest of plans, and Vane's lofty ideals were anything but humble; he was practically a walking bullseye for disaster. The funny thing about catastrophe, though, is that nobody can ever say what form it's going to take. That’s why, when it all went wrong for Vane, he'd gotten everything he'd ever wanted foisted onto him, and Everything else, too. Watch as a man so used to saying 'yes' to everyone above him finds himself stuck with the power to make reality itself say it back.

Omnicrafter (A Crafting Adventure LitRPG)
Countless twenty-something-year-olds around the world wish every day for a chance to go back in time to start practicing their passions sooner in life. Tabitha is one such woman. With all of her youth spent playing online games where crafting was as simple as gathering materials and clicking a "craft" button to put them together, she never gained any actual experience in making things. Every attempt to create something in the real world is met with disaster. Her heart yearns for being the master crafter of her virtual youth, but she's the type who burns water when trying to cook. That changes when she wakes up and finds herself in a game-like fantasy world where crafting comes as naturally to her as breathing. She still has to put in the hard work of crafting herself, but the system helps her out to make what was once impossible for her possible. She gets all the fun of making things and flexing her creative spirit while not needing any years of training nor study to build her skill up! While she might not have any idea how she got to this strange world, she does know that she's not going to waste her chance and is going to make the most out of this new opportunity to craft everything! An "Omnicrafter" was what they called people in the MMORPGs she played who maxed out every single crafting class, and that is exactly what Tabitha plans on doing with her new life! The crafting side of this series is heavily inspired by games like the Atelier series and the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV (which has a free trial, you know!)*. If there's a problem, it can be solved by crafting. Also, in case the title and synopsis didn't make it obvious enough, this series is going to focus on crafting all the things. Wooden spears and protective cuirasses? You got it! Healing tonics and farming equipment? Sure! Elaborate cupcakes and customizable fantasy golems? Darn straight! Weapons with a broken amount of different buffs applied to them due to the crafting process and materials used? You know it! The most amazing fishing rod to ever exist? Well, obviously. Fishing is the true endgame only after crafting, after all! So, if you like alchemy, blacksmithing, carpentry, cooking, leatherworking, tailoring, engineering, rune forging, magical enchanting, or basically any other type of crafting found in RPGs, come check the story out! An omnicrafter doesn't just focus on one specific type of crafting. A true omnicrafter is the best at all types of crafting! *This is a meme, I'm not sponsored by FFXIV, please don't hate me.
