Tale 41
Fieldtrip
It was hell.
Stephany simply wish to die as she lay down on her bed. Her two best friends were conveniently her dorm mates.
They’ve been doing physical training for three weeks now. Four hours a day after class, everyday!
For people with such weak stamina like them, it was torture!
“Can’t we removed these weights now?” maluhaluhang tanong ni Stephany
“You’ve been asking the same question for three weeks now. You already know the answer.” Tugon ni Lhey
Simula noong sinabi nila na gusto nilang lampasuhin ang mga mag-aaral ni Prof Linda, niregaluhan sila ni Prof Eclipse ng mahiwagang bracelets. Tig-isa sa bawat kamay at paa, apat in total. And each bracelet is as heavy as a bag of rice!
Imagine the look on their faces when they first wore these bracelets. Na-late sila sa kanilang mga klase noong unang linggo dahil hindi sila makatakbo! Kahit paglalakad ay torture!
Akala nila ay mamamatay na sila!
Hindi lang yun, madalas silang pagtawan ng ibang mga mag-aaral sa tuwing nakikita silang nahihirapan. Hindi man lamang nila paniwalaan na may suot silang weights! Muka kasing normal na bracelets ang suot nila.
Ang pinakamasaklap, hindi nila ito maaaring alisin kahit sa pagtulog!
But after weeks of rigorous training, nasanay na sila sa bigat ng mga ito. Ngayong buong week, sinasanay pa sila ni Prof Eclipse sa physical combat! They’re still a bit clumsy and lame compared with their prof, a week of training cannot magically transform them into martial artist, but at least they’re not so weak anymore.
“Im so tired.” Reklamo ni Zoe habang nakahiga sa kama
“I just want to sleep for an entire year..” Stephany
“No one can make me part with my bed..” Lhey
“I’am one with my bed.” Stephany
“I’am married to my bed.” Zoe
Bigla silang natawa sa mga pinagsasasabi nila.
“Good thing it’s Saturday tomorrow.” Zoe
“I hate to break this to you but prof Eclipse announce that we have an extra curricular activity tomorrow.” Lhey
“But it’s Saturday! It’s our rest day!!” maluhaluhang reklamo ni Stephany
“It’s our last training day. The celebration for the school’s founding anniversary will start on Monday. Game of Storms is on Friday. Prof Eclipse gave us the entire week to rest and join in on the fun.” Lhey
Agad nagbunyi ang tatlo..
Isang araw na lang!
Isang araw na lang ng pagdurusa!
Nakangiting natulog ang tatlo.
Nakangiti ang haring araw, sabado ng umaga.
Tahimik na nakikinig sa instructions ang dalawamput dalawang mag-aaral ni Amara.
“As part of your last training, I will be sending you to an adventure.” Amara
“I made you memorized tons of medicinal herbs for several weeks.” Saad ni Amara reminding them of their actual class
“For this activity, I want you to collect herbs that we will use for our activity later today.” Amara
“…huh?” everyone
They all thought that they will be suffering. But why are they going to collect herbs? Is this really their professor? Is the world going crazy?
“Here’s the list.” Saad ni Amara
“That’s all we have to do?? Collect herbs?” tanong ni Lhey
“Aha..” hindi interesadong tugon ni Amara na abala na sa pagbabasa ng isang libro habang kumakain ng mansanas
“Are you sure prof?” kumpirma pa ni Oxa, yung sakitin na babae sa klase nila
“Ayaw nyo?” tugon ni Amara
“Hehe syempre gusto namin.. Tara na guys!” masayang tugon ng lahat bago lumabas ng silid
“Damnable, go.” Saad ni Amara at agad lumitaw ang isang pulang ibon
“Fudge! Why do I have to babysit them?” reklamo nito
“You don’t need to do anything. Just make sure that no accident will happen.” Amara
“Hmmmp.” Damnable
“Don’t spoil them. Just protect them if their life is at stake. Let them get hurt, it’s part of the training.” Amara
“Arent you being too cruel??” tanong ni Damnable
“Am I?? They need to become strong so if I need to be cruel, then I will gladly do it for them.” Simpleng tugon ni Amara
“You hate being weak, don’t you?” komento nito
“Of course.. I hate not having the ability to protect myself and the people I cherish.” Amara
Memories from the distant past flashed through her mind. The suffering. The injustice.
She closed her eyes and breathed out.
“Go.” Utos nya at agad lumipad si Damnable upang sundan ang mga mag-aaral
