Back From the Apocalyptic Future 100 - Confronting the Enemy
That morning, Arifin asks Yusuf for Andini’s photo. Thankfully, Yusuf is still keeping one photo of Andini, the one that he used to look for her when she was missing after the tsunami.He goes back to Mr. Natsir’s hut and gives the photo. Mr. Natsir simply shows the photo to the two spirit creatures that hide under his robe, and then gives it back to Arifin.“Is that it? Won’t they forget her face later?” Arifin doubts. “Don’t they need to also show this photo when they ask their friends later.”“Kid, there are so many things you don’t know about these creatures. These two with me might be a bit naive like kids. But they don’t easily forget people. And the way they communicate with each other is different from us. Anyway, why don’t I show you something.”Mr. Natsir then whispers something under his robe. A moment later, he comes closer to Arifin, and then one spirit creature approaches Arifin’s head.Arifin can see it coming, but only in the shape of a small orb. He feels a bit eerie

It won’t be a problem, he said. Arifin knows he can deal with the rest of those mercenaries. But a fight with them is something he wants to avoid. Because he has his own agenda.He walks nonchalantly approaching those people who are still in hectic helping their comrades. As they notice Arifin, they immediately surround him by pointing their submachine guns.“Who are you?”“What business do you have here??”“Stupid! He is one of the awakened people! He has killed quite many of us. Don’t let your guard down. He can kill you at any moment.”“Hey, hey! I’m not here to start a fight,” Arifin interferes. “Where’s your boss? I came voluntarily ‘cause I think you want to recruit someone like me.”And then, Arifin sees the man named Parjo, the
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 102 - Setting Up A Chaos
Arifin says words that really suit Dr. Cohen’s mindset and ideology. Whether he really believes what Arifin told him, or he just has that much interest in him, Dr. Cohen just accepts his reasoning and motive.“Such a confidence you have there. I’d like to see what you have in you, but it’s already so late. Guards, take him to ward C, and treat him well. Make sure he feels at home here. Starting today, he is one of us.”The guards escort him to a ward specifically for people who have proven having physical prowess surpassing the limit of normal humans. But none of them have shown having any kind of special ability so far, except for one person.With Dr. Cohen putting Arifin in this group, it can be said that he has quite a high hope in him.“We usually put four people in one room. But good for you, there is only one person in this room,&rdquo
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 103 - The Defiance Atlantis Real Agenda
Finishing with this rally morning, they let these soldier candidates get back to their respective rooms to take a shower. When Arifin gets back to his room, he finds Andrew is still sleeping in his bed.It doesn’t seem like Andrew gets any penalty or punishment for not joining the morning rally. Which of course raises Arifin’s curiosity.“Do they like you so much that they don’t even punish you for not joining that morning rally?”Or course, Andrew won’t give any response to him. He is still looking so wasted sleeping in a terrible position.A moment later, two guards come to the room. One of them offers Arifin a few changes of clothes. He really gets treated well here like an honorable guess. Even the way that guard behaves looks so different from their behavior while supervising the morning rally.“We will
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 104 - The Sparring Session
Arifin shares some blood crystals to Watt, and asks him to share them with the others. Eight people might have declared their intention to stay. However, with Arifin trying to change Bayu’s mind, there’s a chance that those eight people would join him.The only thing that is doubtful now is Andrew, who might still influence his two friends not to side with Arifin.“One crystal for one person. Give those ladies from the other group too. About Grace, I’ll give it myself later.”Actually, he was lying to Andrew when he said he no longer has those crystals. There are still quite many of them, but he just didn’t want to share them with Andrew this morning.As people start leaving that chow hall, Arifin takes the time to give one blood crystal and one blue crystal to Grace. He doesn’t need to explain the use of those two types of crystal because Grace has been familiar with them.But then, a girl suddenly approaches Arifin in the midst of the crowd. He is a bit startled, to find that she is
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 105 - Let Me Show You Something
Arifin takes off his jacket by still keeping his mystical kris hiden, and puts it on one of the corners inside that octagon. He takes that sparring session without putting any stance at all.Javier starts it by sending several quick jabs by changing its pattern. Despite that, Arifin is able to evade all the incoming jabs easily, solely depending on his reflex that has been honed after so many battle experiences.“Damn, he isn’t going easy with me,” mumbles Arifin as he finds the sparring is actually harder than what he expected.As Javier feels like he has memorized Arifin’s pattern in evading his jabs, he sets a trap by preparing his right knuckle. He sends another normal jab as a decoy, intending to welcome Arifin with a strong right soon after Arifin gets away from his jab.Arifin eats the bait, ‘cause he has only been too occupied by those left jabs. Just as he moves his head to the left, he notices a right knuckle from Javier already so close to his face.“Got you!”But something
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 106 - He Is Part of Us
Arifin doesn’t intend to miss the chance as Javier is still trying to recuperate and adjusting his breathing to normal. He may not have any clues how to fight without a sword, but it doesn’t mean there’s nothing he can do.At least, he has learned from his grandpa about the way of sword without sword. He still does not fully understand that philosophy yet. He gets an idea what to do by utilizing his current condition under the Trance State.“I hope it will work,” he mumbles as he conditions his hand like a knife-hand, something that is familiar to people as karate chop (shutō-uchi).It’s not just the hand. He also conditions his arm from elbow below straight, and intends to use it like a sword.He doesn’t approach Javier directly. Instead, he utilizes his acceleration and agility to move side to side, by keeping the condition of his ri
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 107 - Waiting For The Dark
No one dares to get closer to Arifin, despite there’s only one guard armed with automatic rifles guarding him there. The problem is, there are so many other guards on the top of the wall around that area. All of them can just act according to the situation if anyone is trying to do something to Arifin.However, after a few hours being tied there, that girl named Elsie approaches Arifin by bringing a bottle of water. That one guard looks so alert and halts her. But Elsie insists by only showing her cold gaze, still by holding the bottle in front of her chest.“Come on! It’s just water,” says Billy from a distance, standing confidently by crossing his arms in front of his chest as he keeps watching over her daughter. “That kid saved her life before. Let her pay the debt.”That guard knows that Billy is the top candidate in the leaderboard solely based on physical prowess. And he knows that Dr. Cohen has treated him specially well so far.He then takes a look at Elsie a moment, and belie
