Chapter 1 - The Blessed

One day, in one of the rural Indonesian island high schools. A kid was held down because suddenly he went berserk and started hitting his classmates. Four of the classmates were critically injured, and the teacher believed an evil spirit possessed him. The teacher had tried many methods, but they seemed useless and had no effect. One of the shamans walked out of the classroom, shook his head, and left. "Even the village's best Shaman still cannot exorcise it," said the teacher.

"Seems like there were no other choices but to call them," said the headmaster.

"Them?" the teacher questioned. 

Two people in office suits arrive at the school's front gates a few hours later. As the two of them walked in, they were immediately greeted by the headmaster, "Welcome, you guys must be from the CIO.", "CIO?" The teacher still cannot comprehend what's happening. The guys pulled out the name card and handed it to the headmaster and the teacher, and said, "Indeed". The teacher takes the name card and reads it out loud: "C..I..O, Chaos Investigation Organization? Agent Dian Purnama.".

"Yes..Indeed, that's me. And this is my assistant Rui," said Dian as the women in suits walked forward and offered handshakes. As both the headmaster and the teacher shake Rui's hands.

"Before that, may I know what is C.I-" right before the teacher can finish the sentence. Dian cut in, "May we see the student who got possessed?"

"Surely, Ms.Amelia will guide you," the headmaster replies.

Amelia guided them to where the student had been held. They saw through the windows, where the student was tied up to the chair and didn't move at all. "By the way, may I ask? What is the CIO, and what did you guys do?" Amelia asked, "Does he always stay that calm?" Amelia was overwhelmed and thought, This guy?! Ignored me again? As she sighed, "No, he gets agitated whenever someone approaches him."

Dian thought, "Hmm, is that so? By the way, you don't happen to be this student's homeroom teacher, right?"

Amelia seems confused and replies, "Yes."

Dian smiles. "Okay, I need to know the full story. You wouldn't mind if we find somewhere to talk about it, right?"

"Yeah, of course. We can use the classroom besides." Amelia instantly replies.

As both of them sat in the classroom, Dian read the student files and data. Later, he asked, "So where do we begin?".

"It happened just this morning, all of a sudden. He started to scream in agony, we thought he had just gotten hurt somewhere. But when one of the classmates approached him, he started to beat them." Amelia briefly explained.

Dian listened seriously and asked, "Does he always act like that? Or has this behaviour only occurred lately?"

"He's a very good kid, but sometimes a little bit of a people teaser," Amelia replies.

"People teaser? Or more like a bully," said Dian.

"A bully?! I will never call him that." Amelia replies furiously.

"It seems like you didn't know them that well enough." Said Dian.

"I might be Inexperienced, but I trust my student," Amelia answers while staring at Dian.

Dian simply tilted his head and raised his shoulder. Amelia is frustrated. "So you're saying this is all an act?", "From the story and the data, I will say most likely," said Dian. Amelia sighed. "This might sound crazy, but a few days ago, before all this happened. I saw some kind of dark aura emitting from his body." After hearing that, Rui was alerted and tried to tell Dian. But Dian simply raised his left hand, and Rui stopped. "Dark Aura, can you see such a thing?" Dian curiously asked. "I was kind of blessed with that kind of ability, My mother used to tell me that my ancestor used to be a shaman. So that's why I can see this kind of thing, and I don't believe it was all simply just an act." Amelia Replies. 

"Is that so?" Dian smiled and stood up, "Then, shall we proceed with the Exorcism?".

Dian was standing in front of the possessed student while the others were watching from the windows outside. The student started snarling and staring at Dian furiously. Dian chuckles and grabs a chair, sitting in front of the student. "Let's cut to the chase, you're not possessed, are you?" said Dian. "I will kill your whole family," the student response, Dian smirk "Damn you actually can talk, very impressive" as he kicks the student chair and falls to the floor. The headmaster and Amelia panic and try to enter the room, but are stopped by Rui. "HEY, YOU!! I WILL KILL YOU!" as the student screams in rage. Dian then took out a pen from his pocket. "Dear god, please help these poor souls," said Dian, "I will offer this poor boy's eyes as an offering as my gratitude." After hearing Dian say that, Amelia is in disbelief. "It can't be serious, right?" and tries to barge in. Dian fully swung his arm towards the student's eye, but suddenly, "WAIT!!!" as the student screamed and cried.

"Please stop, it's all an act, please don't take my eyes," said the student while crying.

Dian sighs and puts the pen back in its pocket "Damn you're ruining the fun part."

Amelia finally got in and held the student. "You alright? Did it hurt?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Amelia," said the student.

"It's okay," Amelia replies.

As Dian walked out of the classroom, "So it was an act all along?" the headmaster questioned. "Seems like it. All the injured kids turn out to be bullies. Maybe he got bullied, and it's all just an act of revenge." Dian replies.

"But how do you confirm it's an act all along?" the headmaster asked.

"Call it a hunch, and maybe you guys should have paid more attention to your students," Dian replies.

After hearing the answer, the headmaster said, "Sorry to bother you guys, and thank you for your assistance," and bowed. Dian slightly bowed and walked away with Rui. As they reach the front gate, Amelia suddenly approaches them from behind. "Hey, you!" Amelia said, and Dian turned around. "Even though your method is a bit rough. But thank you for revealing the truth." Amelia said and bowed. Dian scoffs, "Whatever," and walks away.

At night in the school office, Amelia seems busy writing the reports. Headmasters walk in. "Ms. Amelia, shouldn't you be at home right now?" he asked.

"Oh, sorry, headmaster. I didn't notice you were here," said Amelia as she started clearing out the document. Amelia sighed, "Maybe all of this happened because of me, just like Mr. Purnama said. If I had paid more attention, all of this wouldn't have happened."

"It's Okay. You don't need to push yourself too hard," said the headmaster.

Amelia looks towards the clock, which shows 8 p.m. "It's this late already?!" and quickly pack her things and rush out. "Sorry, headmaster. I will tidy up my desk tomorrow morning," said Amelia.

The Headmaster replies, "It's Okay" while waving his hand.

While Amelia approached the front gate, she noticed someone was standing over there. Turns out to be the student who fakes the possession, "Riko? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at home right now?" Amelia was confused by the situation. Riko seems flustered, and his hand is shaking. Amelia notices it. "Riko, what happened? Is something wrong?" she asked. 

Riko was breathing heavily, "Ms. Amelia, I'm sorry. I had to do this." He reached into his pocket and took out a sort of pouch-like thing. Suddenly, the pouch releases a black particle and forms into a monster-like being. The monster grinned, "Nice job, kid," said the monster with a gnarly voice, and started charging towards Amelia. Amelia began to run, bumping into the headmaster. "What's happening, Ms. Amelia?" the headmaster asked, Amelia panting heavily from the run while pointing behind. The headmaster looks towards the area and sees nothing.

Amelia was speechless because the monster had already caught up and was standing right behind the headmaster. Without hesitation, the monster struck the headmaster and sent him crashing into the classroom walls. Amelia watched the headmaster's body lying in the rubble, and she was engulfed in fear and could not move.

The monster raised his right arms and was ready to punch. "It's over," said the monster, and threw in the punch. But suddenly, a golden ring flew in and hit the monster, and the impact blew the monster away. While the golden ring flew back towards someone, Amelia looked towards the golden ring where it flew back and saw.

"Please, in front of danger. Don't just stand still," said Dian, and catches the ring. 

After seeing Dian, Amelia sighed in relief and knelt to the ground. Approaches by Rui: "Are you okay?" Rui asked. 

Amelia simply nodded her head.

The monster raised from the rubles, "damn you, the blessed one." said the monster and launched towards Dian.

"You indeed are a lively Chaos," said Dian, throwing his Ring again towards the Chaos. It hits Chaos and pins him down to the ground, and Chaos seems to be struggling to lift the Ring from his body. Dian walks towards the struggling Chaos, raises his right leg, and steps on the Chaos. "Come on, no need to struggle this much, just accept your fate already," said Dian with his cocky attitude.

"From this Ring, you already know which god I receive the blessing from," said Dian casually, "NE ZHAA!!!!" as the Chaos screams with rage and still struggles to lift the ring from its body.

Dian smiled and said, " You are quite a smart one," as he reached his pocket to grab something.

"You yap too much," said Chaos as he lifted the ring and threw it away.

The Chaos grabs Dian's right leg, swings, and throws him towards the sky. Chaos jumps towards Dian while in mid-air, in Dian's hand, already holding the thing that he reached for previously. It turns out to be a pen, as the chaos approaches Dian mid-air. The pen suddenly transforms into a spear, and Dian pierces the Chaos with the tip of the spear. "Got you," said Dian as he smiled.

Chaos tries to pull out the spear, but as he grabs it, suddenly, there is smoke coming out of Chaos's hands. "It burns, doesn't it?" said Dian and continued to laugh.

 "Let's end this shit show," said Dian. As both of them dived down, Chaos's bodies started to burn. Both of them are getting closer to the ground. Dian shouts out Rui's name, and Rui catches Dian's signal. She started rolling up her right arm's sleeve, revealing a red sash wrapped around her right arm.

As Rui cast out the red sash, it started to unveil from her arm. The red sash started to expand and circle Rui and Amelia, right when the moment of impact of Chaos and Dian to the ground. It causes an explosion and creates a radiation of fire waves.

A few minutes have passed after the impact. Rui called back the red sash, it started to shrink and wrap back around his right arm. Amelia was shocked by the scenery, everything was engulfed in the blaze of fires. The only place that wasn't affected by the flame was the circle around Amelia and Rui, which was surrounded by the red sash. While Dian was standing in the center of the Impact, holding on to the spear while the ring flew back, and caught it with his left arm. It seems like the Chaos has already burned to ashes and faded away. Amelia still cannot apprehend the situation, and feint over.
