Mahoutsukai University - New Generation: The Mystery Club (bxb) [Completed]

Chapter 25: The Garden Maze

Bunseki's POV

It's showtime.

Bumunot ako ng papel sa fishbowl to pick a game for my classmates.

And yes, ako ang President nila, though they just vote me jokingly.

Iniabot ko ito sa emcee.

Nang mabasa ng emcee ang papel napangiti ito,

"Your game is...

The Earth Terrain."

Pumikit ako nang maramdaman ang kakaibang nararamdaman tuwing nagte-teleport.

Binuksan ko ang aking mga mata nang mawala na ang nararamdamang iyon at bumungad sa amin ang boxwood plant that was sheered in a rectangular prism.

There is only one entrance.

So it means, this is...

"The Garden Maze," sabi ng announcer na hologram nang magpakita siya.

"The only rule here is, find the exit. Kung sinong unang tatlo na makararating sa dulo ang siyang panalo. Take your time because you have 3 hours to go to the exit."

And he vanished.

"Find the exit, in 3, 2, 1, Go!"

At nagsitakbuhan sila.

Pinauna ko na sila because I just want to relax. Ayaw kong ma-pressure.

Nang makapasok na ang lahat, pumasok na rin ako.

Lumiko ako sa kanan, 'pagkapasok ko.

Pagkatapos, I sat on the corner at pinakinggan ko sila.

Kung makikita nila ako, sure akong sasabihin nilang 'natutulog lang iyan'.

Anyway, pinakinggan ko sila nang maayos.

"Aaaarggghhhh, Dead end, here!"

"Ayst... Dead end."

"Wait. There is a path here but it seems forever to walk."

"Another dead end?!"

Pinakinggan ko lang sila nang ilang minuto, then I use my magic to create a map on my mind and to analyze where I am going.

Matapos nito, iminulat ko ang aking mga mata, at nagsimulang maglakad.

I went north and almost 25 meters away from where I began, I went east.

Nang medyo nasa kalagitnaan na ako, I went east again.

After a minute, may nakita akong statue. A mermaid statue na may hawak banga. And flowing outside of it is fountain.

So this is the greatest attraction here on Earth Kingdom. The Aquarius fountain.

Napangisi ako nang may mapansin ako sa fountain na ito pero hindi ko na muna inintindi at pumunta sa kaliwa.

Pagkatapos kong pumasok ay kumaliwa agad ako. After almost 12 meters I went east at nakikita ko na ang exit kaya naglakad ako patungo doon.

And here I am.

Ang nanguna sa kanilang lahat.

May nakaabang naman na mga tao dito. For medical emergencies base sa mga dala nila.

Bigla naman akong nakaramdam nang taong paparating kaya napatingin ako sa exit ng maze at nakita ko si Cryst, a dual mage. Particularly, wind (a form of void) and earth.

She is the most popular in my class because of her natural beauty pero hindi siya naging President ng class namin. I don't know why, though.

"Wow. How did you do that?"

Nagulat talaga ako kasi I am expecting them to come out on one hour or so but this girl, she just finished it pagkatapos ko?

"Ah, 'yung maze? I just listened to our classmates. Mas malakas ang pandinig ng mga wind mages, eh. So I use that as my advantage."

Napatango naman ako.
