Eukrania Academy

CHAPTER 26: Aztrakhan District

"That's possible. Pero never pa nagkaroon ng ganyang kaso rito sa Daemarrel District, kahit sa iba pang districts," saad ng councilor. "However, we will investigate about it. For now, I'll call your district to inform them about what happened to you guys. At ipapahatid ko kayo sa academy niyo para masiguro ang safety niyo."

Nagpasalamat kami sa kanya.

"Humihingi kami ng tawad sa nangyari kanina. Wala kaming alam, pero sorry talaga," ani Jana, iyong babaeng kayang pasukin ang utak ng iba.

"Don't worry, naiintindihan namin. Walang may gusto sa nangyari. We are all victims here. At least, we are still alive, right?" George said.

"Pero sana kahit kaunti may naalala man lang kami kung paano ba makipaglaban ang mga estudyante ng Aurelius Academy," biro ni Allan, iyong lalaking kayang mag-shift into any animals' forms. Natawa na lamang kami sa sinabi niya. Nagkwentuhan lang din kami tungkol sa iba't ibang mga bagay, at maya-maya'y hinatid na kami sa academy ng mga personnel ng district.

"Something's wrong," Alice said, as we reached our dormitory. Pinapapunta kaming lahat sa office ng headmaster, pero tumanggi ang grupo. Masyadong mabigat ang mga nangyari sa trip namin, kaya kailangan muna naming magpahinga.

"Yes, I could feel it, too," Erica seconded Alice. "But I didn't get it why Alvira saw something in their eyes and we didn't. Are you sure about what you saw, Alvira?"

I tried to recall the scenario. "I am certain about it. I saw how their eyes turned all black whenever they initiated an attack. Like what I have said earlier at Daemarrel District Office, they were like robots, they seemed under control, and they seemed being possessed."

"Yes, I agree about the robot thingy because their movements were like systematic, or in unison," George said.

"Whatever it is, we have to do something. La Mahika might be at risk. There might be evil spirits or elements wandering around the whole town, and we don't know who's going to be their next victim," Miguel said.

"I agree with Miguel. As the academy's representatives, we are obliged to protect the school from any harm," Alice said, being determined. "We need to make a plan."

"Okay, listen. Don't talk anything about it to anybody. We should keep this matter to ourselves, as of the moment. We don't want to alarm other students, even the faculty, and get panicked," Tyrone said. "For now, we need to rest. We will discuss about it tomorrow."

~°~

Kinabukasan, pumasok kami sa aming klase. Walang nagbukas ng topic tungkol sa nangyari kahapon. Mahirap na baka may makarinig na iba. It may cause panic to students. It will just make things a lot worse.

"Hey, babe!" Aira clinged her arms to Tyrone's. She seated beside him, and started talking like a child who's having a tantrum. "Why didn't you inform me about your camping last night? You should have brought me with you. How could you possibly do this to me?"

"Wait, how did you know?" Erica asked.

"I've heard it from the office. You guys were in trouble, right?" Aira answered.

"Shut your mouth, Aira. It is a secret. Nobody should know about it. It will only cause more trouble," Alice said in a silent way.

"Okay. I'm sorry," she replied. "I am so worried about you guys. Thank goodness, you are all alive."

"Of course, we are," Miguel said. "Well, it's not Dark Noxis for nothing."
