Mystic Academy: The Long Lost Elemental Princess [On Going]

||• Chapter 43: Survival 1 •||

Tumayo na ako at nagsimula nang maglakad paalis. "Where are you going?" tanong ni Phoenix na nagpatigil sa paglalakad ko. Humarap naman ako sakanila bago sumagot "Maghahanda na ako para mamaya, malapit na kasing mag-7:00." ani ko habang nakatingin sa wrist watch ko. Buti nalang hindi ito kinonfiscate ni Head Mistress dati.

"Right..." si Xander na mukhang ngayon lang naalala yung sinabi ni Head Mistress kagabi

"You two better get ready too." sabi ko sa kanilang dalawa saka tumalikod na at naglakad na pabalik sa dorm namin.

~♥~

Kasalukuyan kaming kumakain lahat kasama sila Head Mistress, si Fayre at yung mga Professors namin.

Katulad lang ng pwesto namin kagabi ang pwesto namin ngayon, at hindi parin nagbabago ang pagka-bad mood ni Aesha.

Bago kami kumain ay sinabi ni Head Mistress na ngayon daw magsisimula ang activity kaya dapat daw ay may sapat kaming enerhiya para mag-participate sa activity.

Tahimik lang kaming walo na kumakain, pero hindi yung klase ng tahimik na awkward, samantalang ang ibang elementalist ay nag-u-usap usap tungkol sa mga maaaring mangyari sa activity.

Nang matapos kumain ay tulad rin ng nangyari kagabi ay pinaglaho ni Fayre ang mga malalaki at mahahabang mesa.

Nakita kong tumayo ni Head Mistress sa gitna ng entablado na siya ring ginamit nila kahapon.

"May I request all of you to be with your partner." malakas na sabi ni Head Mistress, sapat para tumahimik konti ang kaninang maingay na paligid at mapalitan ng ingay ng mga yabag ng paa at mga pagtawag sa pangalan ng kanikanilang partner.

Dahil sa nangyayari ay inilibot ko na rin ang mga mata ko para hanapin si Phoenix dahil nagkahiwalay kami nina Snow at Trish sakanila kanina.

Nagulat naman ako nung makaramdam ako ng isang kamay na humawak sa braso ko.

Umikot ako upang tignan kung sino iyon at natuwa nang makita na si Phoenix iyon dahil hindi ko na kailangang maghanap pa ngayong nasa harapan ko na siya.

Nang kumalma na ang paligid ay binitawan na niya ang pagkahawak niya sa braso ko, kaya naman inilipat ko nalang ang atensyon ko kay Head Mistress.

Head Mistress cleared her throat before speaking, "As you all know, we are at the Kingdom of Ethania. And there is a reason why your activity is going to be held here. The land structure of this Kingdom is perfect for you activity. There is a reason why we told you to pack many clothes and belongings, and there is also a reason why we kept your activity a secret. I know very well that most of you are curious of what exactly is this activity." Head Mistress paused for a moment, "In this activity you will build a shelter, be responsible of what you are going to eat, you might suffer and learn at the same time, and you will fight for your survival..." Head Mistress said with a smirk plastered on her face.

As expected many of our fellow elementalist were shocked.

Noises filled the area we were in, as the thought of being here surviving sink in our minds.

"You will learn not to rely on your myst in this survival activity. You will try to survive here in 3 weeks. This will help you in the future in case your myst doesn't work out or if you lose or don't have one. Please remember that we are only doing this for your own good. And of course, this activity has a reward for the ones that survived in this activity." Head Mistress said

"What is the reward Head Mistress?!" a elementalist asked which peaked my interest.

"The winners will have a one week vacation anywhere in the Mystique Kingdom..." panimula ni Head Mistress at napatigil konti dahil sa 'woahhh~' naming mga elementalist, "...even the Mystique Castle." ngising sabi ni Head Mistress na nakatanggap ng malalakas na 'WOAAAAHHH!' halos naming lahat.

Nung isang buwan ko pa iniisip kung ano kayang itsura ng Mystique Castle dahil ayon sa mga librong nababasa ko ay napakaganda daw nito pero puno ng mga mysteries.

"Head Mistress you said that all we need is all here." sabi ni isa pang elementalist

"You are right, all you guys need is all here..." ani Head Mistress at tumingin kay Fayre na animo'y sinesenyasan na gawin na ang kailangang gawin.

Pumalakpak ng tatlong beses si Fayre at biglang nagkaroon ng isang kaldero at dalawang puting di kalakihang bag na halata mong may laman sa harapan namin ni Phoenix at ng iba pang mga elementalist.

"That is all you're gonna need." sabi ni Head Mistress bago ko kinuha ang bag at tinignan ang laman nun.

Ang laman ng bag ko ay isang net, pero hindi siya yung fishing net, para lang siyang kulambo na gawa sa cloth.

Tumingin ako kay Phoenix at nakitang naglabas siya ng machete, na ikinalaki ng dalawa kong mata.

Muli nanamang umugong ang maraming ingay dahil sa laman ng mga puting bag.

"Head Mistress, is this really all we need?" tanong ng isa sa napakaraming elementalist na talagang nalilito sa sitwasyon namin ngayon.

"Yes, and of course your own belongings and the ones you bought from the academy's mall." ngiting sabi ni Head Mistress na talaga namang nagpataas sa pag-aalala naming mga elementalist.

So this is what they meant when they said all we need is already here, they were testing our instincts, I guess.

Although I didn't worry too much because Phoenix and I bought some things for survival, but the others didn't buy anything else besides food, personal entertainment and such.

"And now it's time for all of you to get ready, because the activity has now officially started. And you will start with finding a spot for you to camp." Sabi ni Head Mistress

And this is one of the reasons why I was worried that Aesha and Aeron got nothing else but food!!!
