Ci and Rei (ON-GOING)

Haunted Library

"I'm an Erneis..."

Hindi pa rin kami makapaniwala ni Laurie habang naglalakad palabas ng study room. I'm in one of that. We were just declared as Erneis personas, come again? The most powerful sector in terms of Intelligence and Masteries... I'm finally one of them...?

Gisingin ako ngayon na!

This felt so unreal!

"Finally. A better comrade." Nilingon ko si Khairro na nakikisabay sa'ming maglakad. "I knew you'll pass."

"Of course. I just know my capabilities enough, mister."

He smirked. "Better be..." mas lumapit siya sa'kin na kinahinto ko. "The game starts now."

Huh?

"What..." pero napakurap-kurap ako nang bigla siyang mawala sa paningin ko. A haze just appeared in front of me.

What it takes to be an Erneis... is immeasurable. I'm worried but also happy for you.

"Ayon sila Ochea, Rei!" tumakbo palayo sa'kin si Laurie habang nanatili akong nakapako doon. Nalulunod sa iniisip. Anong ibig niyang sabihin?

Why do I suddenly felt like there's a great secret that will unfold in front of me?

You're right.

Si Khairro pa rin iyon pero nang nilibot ko ang paningin ko ay hindi ko na siya nakita.

The letter of the last Queen is our fulfilment. For the Agoras... and for the normal beings.

Pilit kong niwala sa isipan ko ang lahat kahit hindi ko iyon mapagtagumpayan. We got inside the Bistro for our lunch where we met our friends there. Like what Ms. Iris said, we remained our mouth shut about our personas.

"Kapagod ng test na 'yon!" Ochea mumbled before taking a bite on her burger.

"Nag-review naman ako pero ang hirap talaga! Buti pa 'yong ibang mastery yung photographic memory dyan!" parinig pa ni Florice.

Wait what? "Photographic memory?"

"Yes, mon ami!" tinuro niya si Aiki. "it's her mastery."

Woah...

Umiling-iling si Aiki. "Prof Farris knows my ability. Syempre hindi puwedeng gamitin 'yong mastery ko."

Oo nga naman...

"Teka. Bakit wala si Eli? and... Theo?" puna ni Aiki nang mapagtanto iyon. "Hala gutom na gutom ako! Hindi ko na napansin."

"Ako din!" sabat ni Ochea na kinangisi ni Eros. Oh, first time ko bang nakita ang ngising iyan? "Something's funny Eros?"

He shookt his head, biting his lip. Natawa nalang ako. Ang cute nila.

"May pinuntahan si Eli. Hindi ko alam kung saan." Si Laurie ang sumagot. "Ang kapatid ko, ewan ko din. Hindi nga kami kinausap kanina dahil nagmamadali siya."

"So how was your mastery class?" Nakangiting tanong ni Ochea. "May mission na kayo?"

"Mission?" takang tanong ni Laurie.

"Yes! Mission! It's always like that in mastery class." Ani Aiki.

Oh...

Hindi ko alam anong isasagot roon.

"Nag-lesson lang naman si Prof Iris..." ani Laurie. Her voice echoed in my mind.

Besh, hindi ba talaga pwedeng sabihin? Tuwang tuwa ako pero hindi ko naman mailabas.
