Sword Rankers
Out And In

Ran was already at his house, it was already night time.

Today is a very difficult day for Ran, from being dragged into the courtroom, to witnessing to tears.

As a result, Ran's crying video went viral everywhere. Some laughed at him, and some sympathized when they heard what Ran had gone through.

Akhhhhh, shame...

Ran rolled around on his bed when recalling the incident earlier in the day.

But, in any case, it has happened, Ran can only let it flow until people forget about it, May people quickly forget about the video.

Then Ran recalled the conversation earlier this afternoon after the trial.

After the trial was over, he was invited to eat by Farizi's supervisor, initially Ran refused, but because Farizi's supervisor said he would treat Ran, so Ran accepted.

They order fast food and eat it in Mr. Aji's room.

While eating, Superintendent Farizi discussed about the Ranker exam to Ran, "Hei Ran, do you intend to take the Ranker exam?"

Hearing her, Ran wiped the ketchup on her lips and replied, "Ah yes, I intend to follow her, so why?"

"Ho~ So well, means you have to hurry."

"Eh why?"

"Well this hasn't been announced yet, so I doubt if I should tell you or not about this?"

Ran was getting confused to hear it, he devoured his burger then asked with his mouth full, "Why the hell? Don't act so mysterious, sir."

"Haha alright, I'll tell you, do you know when the Ranker exam is being held?"

"It's usually the end of the year, right?"

"Right, but recently came up many Gate Rank S which overwhelmed the association. Because it's accelerated."

"Well, I heard from Bardolf."

"Well, so do you know when it's gonna be held?"

"No, I just know if it's accelerated."

"Yah~ Naturally because this was only announced at the meeting. So, the Ranker exam will be held mid-April."

"W-What!?" Ran was shocked to spit out the food he was chewing, "It's already March, meaning my time is less than 1 month away? Not to mention that my graduation exam has been postponed until now."

"Well! That's the problem, even if the trial is sorted out, the school still has to take care of this and that problem. You'll have less time."

"Why is the test not delayed anyway?"

"Hey, taking this exam isn't just your school. There's no way we're putting it off just because of 1 school."

"Akhhhh, how is this?" Ran held his head, and frantically swayed to and fro.

Mr. Aji chuckled and calmed Ran down, "Haha, calm down Ran, it will definitely not be too long, at most 1-2 weeks your graduation exam will be continued. Don't panic so much."

Finally Ran finished his lunch feeling uneasy.

Ran was still rolling around on his bed, Next should what be well? Hmh! Never mind, it's better to just sleep.

Ran finally turned off the lights and slept until morning.

Morning Day.

Ran was exercising regularly, then heard the ringtone phone sound. Ran takes his phone and sees a message from Mr. Aji.

Written message:

Congratulations Ran, your exam date has been determined, your graduation exam will be continued next week, exactly April 11th.

Ran clasped his phone firmer and smiled excitedly, Sip!

1 Week later...

Ran came to school excited and fresh.

For 1 week, he spent exercising to be stronger, Ran passed through a relatively quiet classroom because not many became Hyper this year.

Ran also passed through his classroom. In it, his classmates with irritated faces were being taught aloud by a supervisor, some of whom, especially Michael, looked slightly hurt in the face. Secretly Ran was satisfied to see this.

The field...

There is already Mr. Aji who holds along with some tools.

"Are you ready Ran?"

"Ready Sir!"

Ran is given a bracelet, which will measure his running distance, this is a new tool to be more accurate than the manual Stopwatch.

Ran instantly got ready for the speed test, he was in a willing position, Mr. Aji at the side was giving a cue.

1.....

2.....

3.....

Get started!

Swingg!

Ran immediately shot up quickly, and it did not take long for Ran to reach a distance of 100 meters.

Pips... Pips...

Swush

Dust flew around Ran as he stopped.

Mr. Aji applauded and praised Ran, "Great Ran, you only need 9.26 seconds, faster than the world record."

"Well.. Huh.... Thank God, it means my efforts are not in vain."

"Ready for the next test?"

"certain."

The next test is the Stamina test, Ran must run for 40 minutes to check his stamina score.

Ran runs at a consistent pace, he does not feel tired thanks to his regular exercise.

And the result, "Happy Ran, even if it's not perfect, you got an 89 for your stamina."

"Hoshis.. Hosh.. when initially not tired, but starting at 30, began to feel tired."

"Stay it's the highest grade in your class."

"Of course, the others can't pass."

"Hahahhahah, you could be Ran."

"Hehe, personal satisfaction sir."

The two of them had a casual conversation after the test ended.

Then later....

3 Days passed....

Ran received his report card, he has officially graduated although unfortunately there is no celebration whatsoever because of this attack incident.

But, Ran did not care, he was already quite satisfied with the congratulations from Mr. Aji.

Ran was on his way home, after receiving his report. On the way, he met a stranger, "Huh!? Amy!"

Amy, Ran's coworker at a fast food restaurant.

Amy came with a bouquet of flowers.

"Hello Ran, how are you?"

Amy greets me gently, Ran is very fascinated because only this time he saw Amy in her casual clothes. Amy wears a rose-patterned dress and a long skirt to her ankles, and her hair is neatly pulled back.

Ran is nervous about being approached by Amy suddenly. To his words, "Well, how are you, how's Amy?"

"I'm good too."

"A-on your own?"

"Not really, is Bob there?" Amy pointed at the new Bob coming casually.

"Yo Ran, it's been a long time yah~" Bob greeted Ran cheerfully.

"Ahahaha, it's been a while." Ran is a little disappointed because it turns out that Amy did not come alone.

Then Ran asked about their destination, "Oh yeah, what business are you doing here?"

The two of them glanced at each other, then then compactly said, "Congratulations on your graduation Ran!" While giving a bouquet of flowers that Amy brought.

"E-Eh? How do you know?" Ran was shocked at once moved by their words.

Amy and Bob chuckled, Amy replies, "It's the boss, the boss who knows about this and advises us to give you a gift."

"True, the boss said he knew from acquaintances that your school graduated, and suggested asking us to give gifts and congratulations." Bob chimed

Ran's eyes glazed over knowing how considerate his boss was.

"Hayo! Want to cry, huh?" Bob teases Ran who is almost crying out.

"Ti-No, it's just a flick of it." Tukas Ran while wiping his eyes with his arms.

Bob and Amy laughed again looking at the embarrassed Ran.

Then they smiled softly and said, "Oh yes Ran, the boss also delivered a message, he said "Ran, I know you have big ambitions, and I also know, behind those ambitions of yours, you have a very big fear. So Ran, don't be afraid of failure, trust yourself more, if you fail, don't be afraid of loneliness, there are we who will accept you as you are" Well that's how the message is"

Ran was aware of what his boss was trying to convey.

His almost dry eyes were wet again.

Bob patted Ran on the shoulder, and cheerfully said, "So Ran, don't be afraid and inferior again, don't be afraid of loneliness because there are us who will accompany you. We'll always be your friends Ran."

Amy chimed in, "True Ran, don't consider us strangers, if you need anything just say it. We'll try to help. Because all the employees in our restaurant are family."

Ran was so happy to hear it, he finally realized that he was not alone. Ran wiped his tears and said, "Thank you... I'm so grateful to you, I'll repay your kindness someday."

"Hehe, just relax, bro, see you later."

"Yes! See you soon!"
