Star Academy

CHAPTER 5: PRACTICE

Naglakad na kami papunta sa gymnasium, which is nasa first floor. Gymnasium pala 'to? Kala ko covered court. Actually, ano ba pagkakaiba ng gymnasium at covered court? Same ba sila? 'Di kasi ako masyadong nagp-pay attention sa mga lessons du'n sa dati kong school.

"Let's start quickly. Archie Green vs. Fiona Mherlin."

"Oh, ngayon, ikaw naman nauna." Pang-aasar naman ni Vale. Hmm, na-back fire si Archie.

The match started. I just realized that Fiona and Archie have the same element. Valid pa ba 'yon? Or kailangan same element magiging katapat mo?

Archie made giant vines and launched it to Fiona's direction. Fiona also made giant vines to block Archie's attack. Fiona called swarms of insects to attack Archie. But Archie summoned a yellow pitcher plant. Since it's huge, it's awful smell can reach the audience.  But it's smell attracts insects and causing their deaths.

Archie then called vultures and eagles to attack Fiona. Fiona surrounded herself with vines para hindi s'ya masugatan ng mga ibon.

A few minutes later, Fiona is out of strength. She used almost all of the skills that she know just to defend herself. And Archie just launched his vines and surrounded Fiona.

"The winner is Archie Green."

"Asher Blaze vs. Peter Larken."

Ash's element is fire, while Peter's element is air. And I'm sure I remembered this in Science class, air makes fire stronger, right?

Science is right. Walang laban si Peter kay Ash because his spells is just making Ash's spells stronger. He was very tired and ended up losing.

"The winner is Asher Blaze."

Sabi ni Sir Martin. Pero bakit hindi s'ya masaya? Nanalo naman anak n'ya, eh. But he still looks dissapointed. Si Ash naman ay walang emosyong umakyat pabalik sa upuan n'ya sa tabi ni Ice. Tinapik naman ni Ice 'yung kanang balikat n'ya.

"You're right, Sky. Ash's Dad has high expectations. He always wants the best." Napalingon naman ako kay Aqui nang bumulong s'ya.

"Really? That's hard... 'Yung feeling mo na sa halos lahat ng gagawin mo, dapat perfect lahat kasi madidissapoint parents mo." Ivy said worrying for Ash's feelings. Tumango naman si Aqui.

"Next, Aquina Brimn vs France Alkia."

Napahinga naman nang malalim si Aqui.

"Goodluck, Aqui." Sabi ni Ice. Sweet naman pala s'ya, eh. Sa kapatid n'ya nga lang. Grabeng favoritism 'yan.

Aqui's element is water and France's is Ice. Aqui casted small water waves to annoy France. France summoned ice spikes and launched it to Aqui's direction. She made a huge tsunami to France's direction. His ice spikes came back to him. Nadaplisan s'ya sa kaliwa n'yang pisngi. France blocks some of Aqui's attacks using his ice barriers.

Nang tumigil na sa pag-cast ng spells si Aqui ay lumuhod at nilagay ni France 'yung kanan n'yang kamay sa sahig at may lumabas na mga ice spikes patungo kay Aqui. Aqui used her water waves para malubog sa tubig si France habang nakaluhod pa s'ya sa sahig.

"The winner is Aquina Brimn."

"Next Vale Nolan vs Rio Smith."

Vale released small tornadoes at Rio's direction. Rio used his water spells but Vale used his air spells to slice the water spells in half.  A huge tsunami and hurricane is fighting in front of us. Gosh, na puwing 'yung mata ko.

"The winner is Vale Nolan."

"Next Kiara Fierro vs. Avrea Solces."

Kia already used her fire blessing. She should not be too aggressive. Avrea casted water waves to Kia's direction. The fire balls that Kia casted was immediately taken down. But when she used her ring of fire, Avrea became weak. She was catching her breath and looks like she can't see clearly.
