The Mirror laughed, a sound like grinding gears.“The Foundation understands the duality of power. When one anomaly rises, they create a counter. You, boy, are a temporary disturbance. I am a permanent solution. And you,” he tilted his head, focusing on Bianca, “you’re just a girl playing with wires. Your contribution is insignificant.”Bianca stiffened, her face hardening. Her defiance burned brighter than any fear.The confrontation began not with words, but with a raw burst of psionic energy. Raditya unleashed a mental assault, not as direct as before, but more a widespread wave, designed to destabilize the Mirror’s systems. But the robot absorbed it, its eyes glowing a menacing red. A searing wave of pain shot back, overwhelming Raditya’s senses. He gasped, clutching his head.“No, that won't work, Raditya!” Bianca cried out, her scanner buzzing with frantic readings. “He’s deflecting it!”Argo reacted instantly, firing a concussive burst from his unique, unidentifiable weapon.

The pandemonium was absolute. Teachers, students, agents alike, were now lost in a whirlwind of personal confessions and amplified grievances. The Organization’s tight grip on the school was fractured. Raditya had unleashed not just chaos, but anarchy.And in the midst of it all, a chilling thought surfaced, separate from the throng. It wasn’t from a teacher or student. It was sharper, colder, more dangerous. It was from a distant consciousness, one that echoed in the deeper layers of the school’s network. It was a familiar echo, a twisted reflection of his own amplified abilities.As Raditya struggled to maintain the immense psychic broadcast, feeling the edges of his consciousness fraying, he saw a figure emerge from the terrified crowds in the auditorium. It was Clara. Tears streamed down her face, her once bright eyes now vacant and dull. But her thoughts, amplified and distorted, pulsed with a raw, broken desire for him.“Radit… you always made me feel special… please… make them

Argo, who had been silently observing, finally spoke.“Not everyone. The Foundation needs subjects. But they also need leverage. And to maintain order when their primary objective is achieved. Those who show promise will be… retained. The rest are… collateral damage. Or disposable assets.” His tone was chillingly neutral, a testament to his past experiences.Raditya felt a fire ignite within him, hotter than the energy coursing through his veins. He looked at the schematics on Argo’s tablet, tracing the ventilation shafts leading into the auditorium. He felt the impending dread of thousands of young minds about to be silenced.He could see the cold, calculated efficiency of the Organization’s plan. His plan, now controlled by them. His life, his powers, twisted into a tool of subjugation. The thought of being the instrument of such a devastating operation, especially with his father as the architect, was almost unbearable.But he also knew something else. Something profound that had c

Raditya's hand hovered over the console. Azure energy crackled around his fingers, unstable, almost hungry. He could feel it wanting to discharge. His father’s voice still echoed in his head, a unique blend of twisted affection and cold calculation that only he could pull off."If this world must forget, then Father is the first I will erase." He hadn't meant it as a threat. That was the worst part. He'd meant it as a kindness.The contract. Mayor Mulyadi's signature at the bottom, clean and unhurried, like the man had signed a building permit. Leo's fleeing thoughts had carried that detail to him and Raditya wished they hadn't. Because now he couldn't stop thinking about what it meant for everyone still inside those walls.His eyes moved across the monitors. One feed after another. The chaos was getting worse. The hum of the system thrummed against his skin, a symphony of impending doom.A deafening klaxon wailed, far louder and more insistent than the usual fire drill alarms. It was

The video shows him on the parade ground, on that day that will never be forgotten. Moments before the lightning strike that engulfed his consciousness headed toward him, something else held him back. That figure, reaching out its hand, as if trying to lock his consciousness so it wouldn't drift away.In those seconds that made his whole body feel frozen, something pulled him out of that place, out of his nightmare. It pierced through his field of vision, trying to open a lock of truth buried deep within him. A flash of maroon was faintly visible at the edge of the frame.But then… something much larger suddenly shone upon him from behind the darkness beside the field. Something so bright. A large shadow moved in front of the sun, and he shouted at someone to run.In the recording, Mulyadi is seen standing behind his dark shadow, as if he had just stepped out of an… elevator. It wasn't just him who transformed. There, he could see himself in the video, standing tall. His eyes, which w

Instantly, Leo spun around, throwing open the door behind him in a frenzy. His body blurred, his shadow seemed to vanish as he fled in a panic through the secret door next to the same toilet where Raditya and Bianca had exited earlier. It was an escape hatch Raditya had just learned about.THUD!From the closed door, an echo resounded. Dizziness washed over Raditya, the anger he had been harboring now curdling with the horrifying truth. A contract? The principal? A vendetta? Leo hadn't just betrayed him; he had ensnared him in a trap far larger and more cruel. This was total ruin. He had to save everyone.Outside the room, he could hear new warning sirens. Louder, more rapid. The panicked screams of students and teachers, and the steady, rhythmic march of military boots. This was no fire drill, as Argo had claimed. It was something far crazier. Something that felt far more terrifying. Where were his parents? Why did no thoughts of them cross his mind? Why only a void? They were still
