CHAPTER 3 THE FIRST WEEKEND

When we returned to the front of the main hall, our first grade friends were already there along with Daejung oppa and Minji eonni.

"Oh, here you are," said Daejung oppa with a smile.

"We're not late, are we?" Jiwoo asked when we joined the group.

"No. You guys are very punctual. Let's start the tour," decided Minji eonni, "everyone ready? Let's walk... where first, Daejung?"

Daejung oppa scratched his head, "I'm confused too. Maybe head west first, then?”

We all walked following Daejung oppa and Minji eonni's steps, once again circling the main hall.

“You already know the three buildings that we often pass by. Greenhouse 104, room 105 and room 106. If we go east, there is room 107. These four rooms, with the main hall and Chaeksong Dungeon are connected to the underground for five floors," explained Minji eonni, "but as we said last night, below the main hall there is only a kitchen and the four floors below it are not play areas. For our own dungeon, five floors down means the recreation room, rooms on floors one to four, so apart from the recreation room door, there are no other doors that open to the other floors of the dungeon. The dungeons under the greenhouse are also usually unused, but those under rooms 105, 106 and 107 are mostly used, almost all of them are for potions classes. Our own potions class on Wednesday uses the first floor dungeon in room 106. So that's about it."

"Behind this group of rooms," said Daejung oppa while spreading his arms in front of room 105, "in a straight line to the north, behind greenhouse 104 there is room 206, room 308, room 407; behind room 105 there is room 207, room 309 and room 408; behind room 106 there is room 208, room 310 and room 409; behind room 107 is room 209, then an empty area, and at the back there is room 410. So the 11 rooms that we mentioned are in the swapping area. This means that their position changes every day according to their mood.”

“Change?” Yunsoo asked, “can they walk?”

"They don't walk physically like humans and there's still no logical explanation, but Professor Lee Seungwoo said, he once watched them and every time at 12 at night, they just moved," answered Minji eonni while shrugging her shoulders, "he was once deliberately in room 310 and as soon as he came out after 12 at night, he left the room that was supposed to be room 410, even though it was clear he had indeed come out of room 310, his belongings were still in order."

I swallowed hard. All the buildings are so similar and they still move as they please?

"We suggest that if you have a class that uses 11 rooms, you should come early so you don't be late for class," suggested Daejung oppa.

Next to me, Kyubong pulled out the lesson schedule parchment.

"Charms class on Monday in room 308 and History of Magic class on Monday in room 207," he complained.

"Oppa and eonni," Jiwoo raised her hand, "what do A and B mean in the explanation of our lesson schedule?"

“Good question. That's a sign on which floor your class will be held. A means first floor, B second floor and C third floor. If there is a minus like -A, you have to go down one floor, and so on," answered Minji eonni.

"Let's go west," said Daejung oppa leading the group.

We stopped for a moment in front of room 103 which has two floors.

"Behind room 103 there is room 205, room 307 and room 406. Don't worry, they all have no legs and don't have dungeons either," explained Minji Eonni, "let's move forward again."

We stopped in front of room 102 on our right and on our left, there was a tower that said West Tower 1.

"Behind the normal room 102 is the Northwest tower and greenhouse 306. Meanwhile, behind the West Tower 1 there is room 101 which you can't see from here. Let's follow this rocky road north," said Daejung oppa.

"Well, you can see the side of the building from room 102 to our right, to our left is room 203," explained Minji Eonni as we continued walking, "the entrance to the Northwest tower is on our right. Apart from classes, the Northwest tower on the eighth and ninth floors is used for the infirmary; on our left, room 204, as you can read. Go forward a little, on our right we enter greenhouse 306 and on our left we go to room 305. Well, this is Sinsol Tower."

Sinsol Tower looks just as beautiful as Chingeng Tower. It would also be fun to live in a tower.

"Later we'll see what's behind all these rooms, but we'll just take the snowy road from the front of room 203," decided Daejung oppa.

We walked back South and took the snowy road, off the rocky road. It took quite a hard fight against this fairly thick snow.

"This is room 203 on our right, and you have seen what rooms there are behind it when we went to Sinsol Tower earlier. On our left, there are room 202 and room 201," explained Minji Eonni.

We moved forward again and finally reached the front of the tower which said West Tower 2 on our right.

"On our right is West Tower 2, and behind it there are room 303, room 304 and room 405. On our left there is room 302 and room 301," Daejung oppa explained in turn, "let's move forward again,"

We continued walking on the snow and stopped in front of another Tower.

"To our right is West Tower 3 and behind it is room 402, greenhouse 403 and room 404. To our left but a little far away is room 401," Minji Eonni pointed to the left.

How big is Yoora? We have been walking west and still haven't found the school boundary. As I thought this, I could finally see the faint border of a thicket less than two meters high, not far from our front, but something else caught my attention.

"On our left is the blessed fountain, let's go in for a moment," said Daejung oppa.

Pornthip, Youngjae and Seunghoon were already running into the blessed fountain area. There is a four-story fountain in the middle of the garden whose floor is snowy dirt, and many long chairs are placed around the fountain. Pornthip sat on one of the benches and shook her legs, while Youngjae and Seunghoon admired the fountain.

“It's comfortable here, right? This is one of my favorite hangout places. Now you know where you can relax. When it's spring, the floors will all be made of dirt," said Minji Eonni proudly, "but we have to keep going. By the way, if you keep walking, that's already the western boundary of our school, so let's head north now.”

We turned right and were still walking through the snow. We stopped in front of a simple ancient building on our left.

“As you can see, to our right is West Tower 3 and room 402. This simple building to our left is the Teacher Dungeon. There are no name boards, indeed," explained Daejung oppa, "some of the teachers have offices in the dungeon. The most important thing for you to know is that Professor Lee Seungwoo is on the first floor of the dungeon and Professor Song Sunja is on the fourth floor of the dungeon. This area is also connected to the 4 floors of the dungeon, so the teacher's office is here, West Tower 3 and room 402. Let's continue."

I was curious what the teacher's office looked like, but of course I didn't dare to immediately visit their office. We headed north again and the area to our left caught our attention again.

"On our right, greenhouse 403 and room 404 and on our left, see this small river flowing? The river also runs through the park. We can look at the park for a moment," said Minji Eonni.

We entered the garden area which, just like the blessed fountain area, felt comfortable. The difference is, there are no fountains here, but there are lots of pots, trees whose leaves have all fallen off because of the winter, and several stone paths, as well as several recreational mats laid out on the snowy ground. I saw several small plant pots, some of the plants had strange shapes, some were just twigs, with the names of the students and their houses. It would definitely be nice to have a snack here once in a while. We advanced again towards the north. To our left was a building that looked similar to Gongjong Hall, but much smaller.

“This is Teacher Hall. Only one floor but there are seven rooms. Some of the teachers who teach you also have offices here," explained Daejung oppa, "if we continue, you could fall into a ravine. So our northern boundary is a cliff, so it's better for you not to go to the edges there, there's nothing interesting apart from you being able to see the sea. So we can turn east now.”

We walked along a small river where the water was very clear. It's quite a miracle that the river doesn't freeze in this cold weather.

"To our right is room 404, then room 405 and this is the gazebo area. Let's get through it," said Minji Eonni.

The gazebo area also looks attractive. In the middle of the area there was a clear pond with several Lotus flowers on it, which was not frozen, surrounded by ten small gazebos, which seemed to be able to accommodate at least ten people in each gazebo. I really like Yoora! We crossed the small bridge in the middle of the pond to get out of the gazebo area and continued east.

"We have passed the back of Sinsol Tower on our right," explained Daejung oppa, "this is the back of room 406. Then, on our left, is the Teacher Tower. It's not really high, there are only three floors. Several teachers have offices here.”

Compared to other towers, the Teacher Tower does look simpler and shorter, but it is still ancient and beautiful. We continued walking along the small river to the east.

"Look, we've arrived at the swapping area. Originally, this should be the back of room 407, room 408, room 409 and room 410. Does anyone want to check now, which rooms are here now?" Minji eonni offered.

Kyubong and Youngjae quickly ran, one to the right and one to the left. They came back quite quickly because they kept running around.

"The one on the right is room 310 and room 409," reported Kyubong.

"Room 410 didn't move, but instead room 409 was room 209," Youngjae reported with a frown.

"I told you they always move," laughed Daejung oppa, "well here, between the back of room 409 and room 410 there should be... there is the north lake. You guys can hang out here.”

We were busy wowing with views of the North Lake. Apparently the flow of the small river stopped at this lake, which, miraculously, also did not freeze. On the nearest side of the lake, many picnic mats were laid out, but we couldn't reach the other side because it seemed to be the ravine that Daejung oppa meant.

"At the end of the ravine, the lake is wide enough to prevent those of you who are curious from running to the other side. Don't try it," warned Minji Eonni, "just play here later. Let's move on. You guys will miss lunch today but you can have a snack at three o'clock.”

We have walked to the back of the spacious Gongjong Hall.

“This is Gongjong Hall. Gongjong's students live in a spacious hall that we often joke about as a guest house," laughed Daejung oppa, "but it looks comfortable, doesn't it? Not far in front of Gongjong Hall there is room 107 to the west and greenhouse 210 to the east. Later we can see the time we passing in front of it."

“We've passed,” Seunghoon whispered proudly.

We move forward and there is a huge area here before we come to the next building.

“On our right, Northeast Tower. There is a broadcasting extracurricular that is quite famous here, but I don't think they have recruited first graders in the first semester... the leader is Lee Songmin oppa from Sinsol. You'll be surprised how famous the DJs are at our school," laughed Minji Eonni, "they're on the twelfth floor. I guess it will start broadcasting tomorrow afternoon? Or Monday? Who knows. So, do you see to our left? This is our six-story library. Believe me everything is here. I think Daejung knows all the books by heart. Go forward a little, next to the northeast tower there is room 411."

"In sequence, in front of the northeast tower there are room 311, room 312, room 313 and in front of room 411 there is greenhouse 412, room 413 and room 414," explained Daejung oppa.

After passing the library, there was a huge snowy area.

"There is the eastern border, so we just turn south. Now look, this is the side of room 411 on our right, then greenhouse 412... and this tower is the owl tower. It's called the owl tower, but some of your other pets can also rest here. There are nine floors, quite spacious and lots of owls. And if we continue, this is the side of room 413," explained Minji Eonni.

I admired the Owl Tower, even though it was just a cage for owls and pets, the tower looked beautiful with medieval architecture, just like the library.

"This is the side of room 414 and if we go through this rocky road," said Daejung oppa, and it turns out we have met another rocky road, "this is the east tower and in front of it is room 415 and on our left this is..."

“Quidditch Stadium!” Huang Renxian exclaimed.

Several children were already running near the huge Quidditch stadium. We could see five tall stands around the stadium.

“The Quidditch season will start in May, but there will be auditions held in April and of course you are welcome to audition. Hopefully some of you will make the team... As far as I remember we lost 6 players because grade 7 was no longer allowed to play quidditch, and some also graduated last year," said Minji eonni.

"Come on, come on, or you'll miss your snack too," Daejung oppa needed to fend off several children who had lost control, "we'll just continue on the rocky road, so go back a little... now we've passed room 414 and the front of the east tower."

"This is to our right, room 313 and to our left, room 314, you can read the board," Minji Eonni pointed to the right and left.

“You see the tower on our left? Our neighbor, Chingeng Tower. Just like Sinsol, there are 8 floors in this tower. Later, we'll pass in front of it," explained Daejung oppa, "after all, there is a rocky road that connects our dormitory and Chingeng, if you pay attention to the rocky road in front of our dormitory you can continue east."

"This one is greenhouse 210 and on the left is room 211. We've actually finished. This is the intersection which, if we go right, leads to Gongjong Hall. Come on, let's look at it for a moment," said Minji Eonni.

We followed the cobblestone path and visited the front of Gongjong Hall, the path we used this morning. After that, we followed our two prefects towards the South.

"On our right is the side of room 107. We continue south... there is room 211, you can see on our left, then on our right, you know it well, the surface building of our Chaeksong Dungeon... and the rocky road ends at the South border, turn left... the entrance to Chingeng Tower," explained Daejung oppa at length.

The students chattered and admired Chingeng Tower. 

“This means our tour is over and snack time is almost starting. You guys are hungry, aren't you?” Minji eonni asked.

"I'm weak, eonni," complained Pornthip, which was agreed by the other students.

Daejung oppa laughed again, “I understand you guys ate a lot while growing up. Let's go in through the surface, then into the main hall through the bottom. You guys definitely want to try that route too.”

Seunghoon and Youngjae excitedly ran to Chaeksong Dungeon, making Daejung oppa laugh again. We all walked west towards Chaeksong Dungeon.

"Eonni, Yoora is really big, right, and it's really hard to memorize all the buildings. Why doesn't Yoora provide some kind of map?" Jiwoo asked curiously.

“For security reasons, actually. We never know who wants to do evil and what if they know all of Yoora's locations on a map?" Minji Eonni asked back, "go for walks often and I'm sure you'll quickly memorize it. Daejung is the fastest memorizer among us, not even one semester in the first grade, he is no longer lost. Jungeun and Ilsung, your two oppas (Minji Eonni glanced at me for a moment and laughed) once caused chaos by disappearing somewhere several times, even when they were in second grade. I think in their second grade was just on purpose. We already know their tricks and Professor Lee Seungwoo said he would arrest them if they pretend to disappear again.”

The three of us and Daejung oppa who was walking beside me laughed too. 

“Sogogi!” Seunghoon shouted loudly and immediately jumped under the Cerberus with agility.

"There's no need to shout keywords that loudly, Seunghoon," said Daejung oppa, laughing.

One by one the students entered and I entered after Kyubong. The common room was a bit empty, I saw there were only a few children in the common room sitting relaxing on the sofa.

“Just finished the tour?” asked a handsome male student who was lying on a round sofa.

"Yeah," replied Minji eonni, "don't you eat snacks, Jihu? I don't think I've ever seen you miss snack time."

“Oh yeah, it's about time huh. Do they want to go there too?”

I glanced at the large clock above the fireplace which showed almost ten minutes past three.

"Yes, we will also go there, we want to take them downstairs," answered Daejung oppa.

"Let's go there together then."

“Oh yeah, when are you guys going to start broadcasting? First grade, he is Yook Jihu, one of our announcers. Now he's in third grade," Minji Eonni introduced.

“Hello, first grade, I'm Yook Jihu, third grade. We'll start broadcasting Monday at lunch time. Kim Sooyeon will broadcast first. Later, those of you who are interested in auditioning to join the broadcasting extracurricular, just contact me. Chaeksong has a lot of broadcasters though. Oh, you guys…”

Jihu oppa pointed at me and Jiwoo, then pointed at Daejung oppa.

Daejung oppa laughed, “my sister, Kim Soyoon, and yes, you're right, this is Park Jiwoo. Looks a lot like Kyungok noona, right?”

Jihu oppa also laughed, “that's right, hyung. Well, your oppa and eonni are also broadcasters."

"Who? Jungeun oppa?” I widened my eyes imagining Jungeun oppa doing something serious.

I can understand Kyungok eonni, but Jungeun oppa?

“Yes, Jungeun hyung. You'd be surprised he can broadcast so well. Ah, let's go to the main hall, my stomach is hungry. Come on, go out that door."

As if a prefect, Jihu oppa ordered the first graders to come forward. I'm still confused no one told me that Jungeun oppa was a DJ at school. I followed Sarang to exit the unfamiliar door. Behind this door was an empty corridor, but thankfully it wasn't too dark because there were lots of torches on the walls.

"If you can remember the directions well," said Daejung oppa who stopped in front of a hallway on our left after walking forward about two meters, "this hallway on the left means we are going east, a hallway that leads us directly to the kitchen. If we continue for about five meters, there will be 4 hallways on the right, the first hallway leads you into room 107 on dungeon floor A, then successively the next hallway takes you to dungeon room 106, room 105, and greenhouse 104. In these small hallways there are stairs that can take you down or up the dungeon. Now we go left."

We all walked close together following the steps of Daejung oppa, Minji eonni and Jihu oppa. Suddenly our path was blocked by a large door.

“This is the door that leads to the kitchen. Actually, Yoora's house elf is very kind. If you are hungry, you can ask them for a snack. But don't disturb them too often, let them rest," Minji Eonni reminded, "Jungeun and Ilsung come here too often. Just leave them to it."

"Are your oppas some kind of troublemaker?" Seunghoon asked innocently.

Jiwoo and I just looked at each other, not knowing how to answer Seunghoon.

"We go right," said Jihu oppa.

We passed through a narrow hallway that only fit three people and climbed a fairly short stone staircase. I could recognize it as the stairs in the front hall of the main hall.

"We have arrived! Let us eat!" invite Daejung oppa.

“Thank you for the tour Daejung oppa, Minji eonni and Jihu oppa!” I said cheerfully.

Jihu oppa scratched his head while smiling. We entered the room which was apparently quite busy with students eating snacks. As soon as I sat down, I immediately pulled the crème brulee towards me. Skipping lunch apparently makes me very hungry. I glanced at Gongjong's table and neither Youngmin nor Minsu were there yet.

“So,” said Pornthip who was sitting to my right, pulling a crème brulee too, “Where are we going to spend the afternoon? Let's invite Youngmin and Minsu too once they show up."

"How about going to the blessed fountain?" I suggested.

"May also. I just agree. Let's enjoy our weekend before lessons start," said Seunghoon who was sitting in front of me.

Yes, that's right, no matter what, let's just enjoy my days at Yoora School.

CHAPTER 3 THE FIRST WEEKEND

Ketika kami Kembali ke depan main hall, teman-teman kelas satu kami sudah ada disana bersama Daejung oppa dan Minji eonni.

“Oh, disini kalian rupanya,” ujar Daejung oppa sambil tersenyum.

“Kami tidak terlambat kan?” tanya Jiwoo Ketika kami bergabung dengan rombongan.

“Tidak. Kalian sangat tepat waktu. Ayo kita mulai turnya,” putus Minji eonni, “semua siap? Ayo kita berjalan… kemana dulu ya, Daejung?”

Daejung oppa menggaruk-garuk kepalanya, “aku juga bingung. Mungkin ke barat dulu, kalau begitu?”

Kami semua berjalan mengikuti Langkah Daejung oppa dan Minji eonni, sekali lagi mengitari main hall.

“Kalian sudah tau tiga bangunan yang kita sering lewati. Greenhouse 104, room 105 dan room 106. Jika kita ke arah timur, ada room 107. Empat ruangan ini, dengan main hall dan Chaeksong Dungeon terhubung bagian bawah tanahnya sebanyak lima lantai,” jelas Minji, “tapi seperti yang kami bilang semalam, di bawah main hall hanya ada dapur dan empat lantai di bawahnya bukan tempat main ya. Untuk dungeon kita sendiri lima lantai ke bawah berarti ruang rekreasi, kamar lantai satu sampai empat, jadi selain pintu ruang rekreasi, tidak ada pintu lain yang terbuka ke lantai dungeon yang lainnya. Dungeon di bawah greenhouse juga biasanya tidak terpakai, tapi yang di bawah room 105, 106 dan 107, hampir rata-rata dipakai, hampir semuanya untuk kelas ramuan. Kelas ramuan kami sendiri yang hari Rabu memakai dungeon lantai satu di ruangan 106. Jadi kira-kira begitu ya.”

“Di belakang rombongan ruangan ini,” ujar Daejung oppa sambil melebarkan tangannya di depan room 105, “secara garis lurus ke utara, di balik greenhouse 104 ada room 206, room 308, room 407; di balik room 105 ada room 207, room 309 dan room 408; di balik room 106 ada room 208, room 310 dan room 409; di balik room 107 ada room 209, lalu area kosong, dan paling belakang ada room 410. Nah 11 room yang kami sebut itu berada di swaping area. Artinya, posisi mereka berpindah setiap harinya sesuai dengan suasana hati mereka.”

“Berpindah?” tanya Yunsoo, “mereka bisa berjalan?”

“Tidak berjalan secara fisik seperti manusia dan masih tidak ada juga penjelasan logisnya, tapi Profesor Lee Seungwoo bilang, beliau pernah memperhatikan mereka dan tiap jam 12 malam, mereka berpindah begitu saja,” jawab Minji sambil mengedikkan bahunya, “beliau pernah sengaja berada di room 310 dan begitu beliau keluar setelah jam 12 malam, beliau keluar dari ruangan yang tadinya harusnya untuk room 410, padahal jelas beliau memang keluar dari room 310, barang-barangnya masih sesuai.”

Aku menelan ludah dengan susah payah. Semua bangunannya saja sudah sangat mirip dan mereka masih berpindah sesuka hatinya?

“Kami sarankan jika kalian ada kelas yang menggunakan 11 room itu, kalian sebaiknya datang lebih awal supaya tidak terlambat ke kelasnya,” saran Daejung oppa.

Di sebelahku, Kyubong menarik keluar perkamen jadwal Pelajaran.

“Kelas mantra hari Senin di room 308 dan kelas Sejarah sihir hari Senin di room 207,” keluhnya.

“Oppa dan eonni,” Jiwoo mengangkat tangannya, “apa yang dimaksud A dan B di penjelasan jadwal Pelajaran kami?”

“Pertanyaan yang bagus. Itu tandanya di lantai berapa kelas kalian akan dilangsungkan. A berarti lantai satu, B lantai dua dan C lantai tiga. Kalau ada minusnya seperti -A kalian harus turun satu lantai, dan seterusnya,” jawab Minji eonni.

“Ayo kita ke barat,” ajak Daejung oppa memimpin rombongan.

Kami berhenti sejenak di depan room 103 yang berlantai dua.

“Di balik room 103 ada room 205, room 307 dan room 406. Tenang, mereka semua sudah tidak berkaki dan tidak memiliki dungeon juga,” jelas Minji eonni, “ayo maju lagi.”

Kami berhenti di depan room 102 di kanan kami dan di kiri kami, ada Menara yang bertuliskan West Tower 1.

“Di balik room 102 yang normal ini Northwest tower dan greenhouse 306. Sedangkan di balik West Tower 1 ini ada room 101 yang tidak bisa kalian lihat dari sini. Ayo ikuti jalan berbatu ini ke utara,” ajak Daejung oppa.

“Nah kalian bisa melihat sisi samping bangunan dari room 102 di kanan kita, di kiri kita ada room 203,” jelas Minji eonni sambil kami terus berjalan, “pintu masuk Northwest tower di kanan kita. Selain untuk kelas, Northwest tower di lantai delapan dan sembilannya dipakai untuk infirmary; di kiri kita, room 204, seperti yang bisa kalian baca. Maju lagi sedikit, di kanan kita jalan masuk ke greenhouse 306 dan di kiri kita room 305. Nah, ini dia Sinsol Tower.”

Sinsol Tower terlihat sama indahnya seperti Chingeng Tower. Pasti menyenangkan juga tinggal di sebuah Menara.

“Nanti kita lihat ada apa di balik semua ruangan-ruangan ini, tapi kita ambil jalan bersalju dari depan room 203 saja,” putus Daejung oppa.

Kami berjalan balik ke Selatan dan mengambil jalan bersalju, keluar dari jalan berbatu. Perlu perjuangan agak keras melawan salju yang cukup tebal ini.

“Ini room 203 di kanan kita, dan kalian sudah lihat ya, ada room apa saja di baliknya waktu kita ke Sinsol Tower tadi. Di kiri kita, ada room 202 dan room 201,” jelas Minji eonni.

Kami maju lagi dan akhirnya Sampai ke depan Menara yang tertulis West Tower 2 di sebelah kanan kami.

“Di kanan kita ini West Tower 2, dan di baliknya ada room 303, room 304 dan room 405. Di kiri kita ada room 302 dan room 301,” Daejung oppa gantian menjelaskan, “ayo maju lagi,”

Kami terus berjalan di atas salju dan berhenti di depan Menara yang lainnya.

“Di kanan kita ini West Tower 3 dan di baliknya ada room 402, greenhouse 403 dan room 404. Di kiri kita tapi agak jauh itu ada room 401,” tunjuk Minji eonni ke arah kiri.

Sebesar apa Yoora ini? Kami yang dari tadi berjalan ke barat terus masih belum menemukan batas sekolahnya. Ketika aku memikirkan ini, akhirnya aku bisa melihat batas samar-samar Semak belukar setinggi kurang dari dua meter, tak jauh dari depan kami, tapi ada hal lain yang menarik perhatianku.

“Di kiri kita ini adalah the blessed fountain, ayo masuk sebentar,” ajak Daejung oppa.

Pornthip, Youngjae dan Seunghoon sudah berlarian masuk ke area the blessed fountain. Ada sebuah air mancur bertingkat empat di Tengah taman yang lantainya berupa tanah bersalju, lalu banyak kursi Panjang diletakkan mengelilingi air mancurnya. Pornthip duduk di salah satu bangkunya dan menggoyangkan kakinya, selagi Youngjae dan Seunghoon mengagumi air mancurnya.

“Nyaman kan, disini? Ini salah satu tempat nongkrong favoritku. Sekarang kalian tau Dimana kalian bisa bersantai. Kalau sudah musim semi, nanti lantainya semua dari tanah,” ujar Minji eonni bangga, “tapi kita harus jalan terus. Ngomong-ngomong kalau kalian berjalan terus, itu sudah batas barat sekolah kita, jadi ayo kita ke utara sekarang.”

Kami berbelok ke kanan dan masih berjalan menerjang salju. Kami berhenti di depan sebuah bangunan kuno sederhana yang ada di sebelah kiri kami.

“Seperti yang kalian lihat, di sebelah kanan kita ada West Tower 3 dan room 402. Bangunan sederhana di kiri kita ini adalah Teacher Dungeon. Tidak ada papan Namanya, memang,” jelas Daejung oppa, “beberapa guru berkantor di dungeon. Yang paling penting untuk kalian tau adalah Profesor Lee Seungwoo ada di lantai satu dungeon dan Profesor Song Sunja ada di lantai empat dungeon. Area ini juga terhubung dengan 4 lantai dungeon, jadi kantor guru disini, West Tower 3 dan room 402. Ayo kita terus.”

Aku penasaran seperti apa kelihatannya kantor guru, tapi tentu aku tidak berani serta-merta berkunjung ke kantor mereka. Kami ke utara lagi dan area di kiri kami menarik perhatian kami lagi.

“Di kanan kita, greenhouse 403 dan room 404 dan di kiri kita, lihat aliran Sungai kecil yang mengalir ini? Sungainya juga melintasi taman. Kita bisa lihat tamannya sebentar,” ajak Minji eonni.

Kami memasuki area taman yang, sama seperti area the blessed fountain tadi, terasa nyaman. Bedanya, disini memang tidak ada air mancurnya, tapi ada banyak pot, pohon yang semua daunnya rontok karena musim dingin, dan beberapa jalan setapak dari batu, juga beberapa tikar rekreasi yang digelar di atas tanah bersaljunya. Aku melihat beberapa pot tanaman kecil, beberapa bentuk tanamannya aneh, beberapa hanya rantingnya saja, dengan nama-nama murid dan asramanya. Pasti akan menyenangkan untuk sesekali makan snack disini. Kami maju lagi ke arah utara. Di kiri kami ada bangunan yang tampak mirip seperti Gongjong Hall, tapi jauh lebih kecil.

“Ini Teacher Hall. Hanya satu lantai tapi ada tujuh ruangan. Beberapa guru yang mengajar kalian juga berkantor disini,” jelas Daejung oppa, “kalau kita terus, kalian bisa masuk ke jurang. Jadi batas utara kita adalah jurang, jadi lebih baik kalian tidak main ke ujung-ujung sana, tidak ada yang menarik selain kalian bisa melihat laut. Jadi kita bisa berbelok ke timur sekarang.”

Kami berjalan mengikuti arah Sungai kecil yang airnya jernih sekali. Cukup Ajaib sungainya tidak membeku di cuaca sedingin ini.

“Di kanan kita ini room 404, lalu room 405 dan ini adalah area gazebo. Ayo kita lewati,” ajak Minji eonni.

Area gazebo juga terlihat menarik. Di Tengah area ada sebuah kolam jernih dengan beberapa bunga Teratai di atasnya, yang tidak membeku, dikelilingi sepuluh gazebo kecil, yang sepertinya setidaknya bisa menampung sepuluh orang di setiap gazebo. Aku sangat suka Yoora! Kami melewati jembatan kecil di Tengah kolam untuk keluar dari area gazebo dan terus ke timur.

“Kita sudah melewati bagian belakang Sinsol Tower di kanan kita,” jelas Daejung oppa, “ini bagian belakang room 406. Lalu ini, di kiri kita, adalah Teacher Tower. Tidak tinggi memang, hanya ada tiga lantai. Beberapa guru berkantor disini.”

Dibanding Menara-menara yang lainnya, Teacher Tower memang terlihat lebih sederhana dan lebih pendek, tapi tetap saja kuno dan indah. Kami terus berjalan mengikuti aliran Sungai kecil ke arah timur.

“Lihat, kita sudah sampai di swaping area tadi. Aslinya ini seharusnya bagian belakang dari room 407, room 408, room 409 dan room 410. Ada yang mau cek sekarang jadinya room berapa disana?” tawar Minji eonni.

Kyubong dan Youngjae cepat-cepat berlarian, satu ke arah kanan dan satu ke kiri. Mereka Kembali cukup cepat karena terus berlarian.

“Yang di kanan jadi room 310 dan room 409,” lapor Kyubong.

“Room 410 tidak berpindah tapi di tempat room 409 malahan room 209,” lapor Youngjae dengan dahi mengernyit.

“Sudah kubilang mereka selalu berpindah,” tawa Daejung oppa, “nah ini, di antara belakang room 409 dan room 410 seharusnya… ada the north lake. Kalian bisa nongkrong disini.”

Kami sibuk ber-wow ria dengan pemandangan the north lake. Rupanya aliran Sungai kecilnya berhenti di danau ini, yang secara Ajaib, juga tidak membeku. Di sisi terdekat danau, banyak tikar piknik yang digelar, tapi kami tidak bisa mencapai sisi satunya karena sepertinya itu jurang yang dimaksud Daejung oppa.

“Di ujung sana jurang ya, danaunya sudah cukup luas untuk mencegah kalian yang penasaran untuk tidak berlarian ke sisi satunya. Jangan coba-coba,” wanti Minji eonni, “mainlah disini nanti. Ayo kita lanjut. Kalian akan melewatkan makan siang hari ini tapi kalian bisa makan snack jam tiga nanti.”

Kami sudah berjalan sampai bagian belakang dari Gongjong Hall yang luas.

“Ini Gongjong Hall. Murid Gongjong tinggal di hall yang luas yang sering kami bercandakan sebagai penginapan,” tawa Daejung oppa, “tapi terlihat nyaman, ya? Tak jauh di depan Gongjong Hall ada room 107 di sebelah baratnya dan greenhouse 210 di sebelah timurnya. Nanti kita bisa lihat waktu lewat depannya.”

“Kita sudah lewat,” bisik Seunghoon bangga.

Kami maju terus dan ada area yang luas sekali disini sebelum kami bertemu bangunan berikutnya.

“Di kanan kita, Northeast Tower. Ada ekstrakurikuler broadcasting yang cukup terkenal disini, tapi kurasa mereka belum merekrut anak kelas satu di semester satu… ketuanya Lee Songmin oppa dari Sinsol. Kalian akan terkejut nanti betapa terkenalnya para DJ di sekolah kita ini,” tawa Minji eonni, “mereka di lantai dua belas. Kurasa akan mulai siaran besok siang? Atau Senin? Entahlah. Nah kalian lihat di kiri kita? Ini perpustakaan enam lantai kita. Percayalah segalanya ada disini. Daejung kurasa hafal dengan semua bukunya. Maju sedikit, di sebelah northeast tower ada room 411.”

“Secara berurutan sih di depan northeast tower ada room 311, room 312, room 313 dan di depan room 411 ada greenhouse 412, room 413 dan room 414,” jelas Daejung oppa.

Setelah melewati perpustakaan, ada area bersalju yang luas sekali.

“Disana sudah perbatasan sebelah timur, jadi kita belok saja ke Selatan. Nah lihat, ini sisi samping room 411 di kanan kita, lalu greenhouse 412… dan Menara ini adalah owl tower. Memang Namanya owl tower tapi beberapa hewan peliharaan kalian yang lain juga bisa beristirahat disini. Ada Sembilan lantai, cukup luas dan banyak sekali burung hantunya. Dan kalau kita terus, ini sisi samping room 413,” jelas Minji eonni.

Aku mengagumi Owl Tower yang meskipun Cuma kandang burung hantu dan hewan peliharaan, menaranya terlihat indah dengan aksitektur abad pertengahan, sama seperti perpustakaan tadi.

“Ini sisi samping room 414 dan kalau kita melewati jalan berbatu ini,” ujar Daejung oppa, dan ternyata kami sudah bertemu jalan berbatu lagi, “ini east tower dan di depannya ada room 415 dan di kiri kita ini…”

“Quidditch Stadium!” seru Huang Renxian.

Beberapa anak sudah berlarian mendekati stadion quidditch yang luas sekali. Kami bisa melihat lima tribun penonton yang tinggi di sekeliling stadionnya.

“Musim Quidditch akan dimulai bulan Mei, tapi nanti ada audisi yang diadakan di bulan April dan tentu saja kalian boleh mengikuti audisinya. Semoga beberapa dari kalian akan masuk tim… Seingatku kita kehilangan 6 pemain karena kelas 7 juga sudah tidak boleh bermain quidditch lagi, dan beberapa juga sudah lulus tahun kemarin,” ujar Minji eonni.

“Ayo ayo, atau kalian juga akan ketinggalan snack,” Daejung oppa perlu menghalau beberapa anak yang sudah hilang kendali, “kita terus di jalan berbatu saja, jadi Kembali sedikit… nah kita sudah lewat room 414 dan bagian depan dari east tower.”

“Ini di kanan kita room 313 dan di kiri kita room 314, kalian bisa baca papannya,” Minji eonni menunjuk ke kanan dan ke kiri.

“Kalian lihat tower di kiri kita? Tetangga kita, Chingeng Tower. Sama seperti Sinsol, ada 8 lantai di tower ini. Nanti kita lewat depannya,” jelas Daejung oppa, “toh ada jalan berbatu yang menghubungkan asrama kita dan Chingeng, kalau kalian perhatikan jalan berbatu di depan asrama kita yang bisa terus ke timur.”

“Yang ini greenhouse 210 dan di kiri ada room 211. Kita sudah selesai sebenarnya. Ini perempatan yang kalau kita ke kanan, menuju Gongjong Hall. Ayolah kita lihat sebentar,” ajak Minji eonni.

Kami mengikuti jalan berbatu dan mengunjungi bagian depan Gongjong Hall, jalur yang kami gunakan tadi pagi. Setelah itu, kami mengikuti kedua prefek kami ke arah Selatan.

“Di kanan kita ini sisi samping dari room 107. Kita terus ke Selatan… ada room 211 ini, kalian bisa lihat di kiri kita, lalu di kanan kita, kalian mengenalnya dengan baik, bangunan permukaan Chaeksong Dungeon kita… dan jalan berbatu berakhir di perbatasan Selatan, belok kiri… jalan masuk Chingeng Tower,” jelas Daejung oppa Panjang.

Murid-murid berceloteh mengangumi Chingeng Tower.

“Ini berarti tur kita selesai dan jam makan snack hampir dimulai. Kalian lapar, bukan?” tanya Minji eonni.

“Aku sudah lemas, eonni,” keluh Pornthip yang diiyakan oleh murid-murid lainnya.

Daejung oppa tertawa lagi, “aku mengerti kalian makan banyak selama masa pertumbuhan. Ayo kita masuk lewat permukaan, lalu ke main hall lewat bawah. Kalian tentunya ingin mencoba jalan itu juga.”

Seunghoon dan Youngjae dengan bersemangat berlari ke Chaeksong Dungeon, membuat Daejung oppa tertawa lagi. Kami semua berjalan ke barat ke arah Chaeksong Dungeon.

“Eonni, Yoora kan besar sekali ya, dan sulit sekali menghafal semua bangunan tadi. Kenapa Yoora tidak menyediakan semacam map?” tanya Jiwoo penasaran.

“Demi alasan keamanan, sebenarnya. Kita tidak pernah tau siapa yang ingin berbuat jahat dan bagaimana kalau mereka jadi tau semua Lokasi Yoora dalam selembar peta?” Minji eonni balik bertanya, “seringlah berjalan-jalan dan aku yakin kalian akan cepat menghafalkannya. Daejung yang paling cepat menghafal di antara kami, belum genap satu semester di kelas satunya, dia sudah tidak tersesat. Jungeun dan Ilsung, kedua oppa kalian itu (Minji eonni melirikku sebentar dan tertawa) pernah membuat kekacauan dengan menghilang entah kemana beberapa kali, bahkan sampai mereka kelas dua. Kurasa yang kelas dua mereka hanya sengaja. Kami sudah hafal trik mereka dan Profesor Lee Seungwoo bilang akan mendetensi mereka kalau mereka pura-pura menghilang lagi.”

Kami bertiga dan Daejung oppa yang berjalan di sampingku ikut tertawa.

“Sogogi!” teriak Seunghoon lantang dan segera melompat ke bawah Cerberus dengan lincahnya.

“Tak perlu meneriakkan kata kunci selantang itu, Seunghoon,” Hardik Daejung oppa sambil tertawa.

Satu persatu murid masuk dan aku masuk setelah Kyubong. Ruang rekreasi agak kosong, aku melihat hanya ada beberapa anak di ruang rekreasi yang duduk bersantai di sofa.

“Baru selesai tur?” tanya seorang murid laki-laki tampan yang sedang terenyak di sofa bulat.

“Iya,” jawab Minji eonni, “kau tidak makan snack, Jihu? Rasanya aku tidak pernah melihat kau melewatkan jam makan snack.”

“Oh iya, ini sudah waktunya ya. Apakah mereka juga mau kesana?”

Aku melirik jam besar di atas perapian yang menunjukkan jam tiga lewat hampir sepuluh menit.

“Ya, kami juga akan kesana, mau bawa mereka lewat bawah,” jawab Daejung oppa.

“Ayo kesana sama-sama kalau begitu.”

“Oh ya, kapan kalian akan mulai siaran? Kelas satu, dia adalah Yook Jihu, salah satu penyiar kita. Sekarang dia kelas tiga,” Minji eonni memperkenalkan.

“Halo, kelas satu, aku Yook Jihu, kelas tiga. Kami akan mulai siaran Senin jam makan siang. Kim Sooyeon akan siaran duluan. Nanti kalian yang berminat ikut audisi untuk ikut ekstrakurikuler broadcasting, hubungi aku saja ya. Chaeksong punya banyak penyiar sih. Oh, kalian…”

Jihu oppa menunjukku dan Jiwoo, lalu menunjuk Daejung oppa.

Daejung oppa tertawa, “adikku, Kim Soyoon, dan ya, kau benar, ini Park Jiwoo. Mirip sekali Kyungok noona, kan?”

Jihu oppa juga tertawa, “benar, hyung. Nah, oppa dan eonni kalian juga penyiar.”

“Siapa? Jungeun oppa?” aku membelalakkan mataku membayangkan Jungeun oppa melakukan hal yang serius.

Aku bisa paham Kyungok eonni, tapi Jungeun oppa?

“Ya, Jungeun hyung. Kau akan terkejut dia bisa siaran dengan sangat baik. Ah ayo ke main hall, perutku lapar. Ayo, keluar lewat pintu sana.”

Seolah prefek, Jihu oppa memerintahkan anak kelas satu untuk maju. Aku masih bingung tidak ada yang memberitahuku bahwa Jungeun oppa adalah seorang DJ di sekolah. Aku mengekori Sarang untuk keluar dari pintu yang asing. Di balik pintu ini rupanya koridor kosong, tapi syukurlah tidak terlalu gelap karena banyak obor di dindingnya.

“Kalau kalian bisa mengingat arah dengan baik,” ujar Daejung oppa yang berhenti di depan sebuah lorong di kiri kami setelah berjalan maju sekitar dua meter, “lorong di kiri ini berarti kita ke timur, lorong yang langsung mengarahkan kita ke dapur. Kalau kita terus sekitar lima meter, nanti akan ada 4 lorong di sebelah kanan, lorong pertama mengarahkan kalian masuk ke room 107 di lantai dungeon A, lalu berturut-turut lorong berikutnya membawa kalian ke dungeon room 106, room 105, dan greenhouse 104. Di lorong-lorong kecil itu ada tangga yang bisa membawa kalian turun atau naik dungeon. Sekarang kita ke kiri.”

Kami semua berjalan berdekatan mengikuti Langkah Daejung oppa, Minji eonni dan Jihu oppa. Mendadak jalan kami dihalangi oleh sebuah pintu besar.

“Ini pintu yang mengarah ke dapur. Sebenarnya peri rumah Yoora sangat baik. Kalau kalian lapar, kalian boleh minta snack pada mereka. Tapi jangan terlalu sering mengganggu mereka ya, biarkan mereka beristirahat,” Minji eonni mengingatkan, “Jungeun dan Ilsung terlalu sering kesini. Titip mereka saja.”

“Apakah oppa kalian semacam troublemaker?” tanya Seunghoon polos.

Aku dan Jiwoo hanya saling memandang, tak tau bagaimana menjawab Seunghoon.

“Kita ke kanan,” ajak Jihu oppa.

Kami melewati lorong sempit yang hanya muat untuk tiga orang dan menaiki tangga batu yang cukup pendek. Aku bisa mengenalinya sebagai tangga di aula depan main hall.

“Kita sudah sampai! Ayo kita makan!” ajak Daejung oppa.

“Terima kasih untuk turnya Daejung oppa, Minji eonni dan Jihu oppa!” ujarku ceria.

Jihu oppa menggaruk-garuk kepalanya sambil tersenyum. Kami masuk ke dalam ruangan yang rupanya cukup ramai dengan murid-murid yang sedang makan snack. Begitu duduk, aku langsung menarik crème brulee ke arahku. Melewatkan makan siang rupanya membuatku sangat lapar. Aku melirik meja Gongjong dan baik Youngmin maupun Minsu belum ada disitu.

“Jadi,” ujar Pornthip yang duduk di kananku, menarik crème brulee juga, “Dimana kita akan habiskan waktu sore ini? Ayo ajak Youngmin dan Minsu juga begitu mereka sudah muncul.”

“Bagaimana kalau ke blessed fountain?” usulku.

“Boleh juga. Aku setuju saja sih. Ayo kita nikmati dulu akhir pekan kita sebelum Pelajaran dimulai,” ujar Seunghoon yang duduk di hadapanku.

Ya benar, mau bagaimanapun, ayo nikmati saja hari-hariku di Yoora School.
