[SKYLAR]
"For today's schedule, practice subject at history ang subjects today."
Sabi ni Aqui. 'Di ko alam kung kanino o saan n'ya nalalaman 'yung mga subject for today and the next day.
"Oh, close kasi kami ni Ma'am Arlene kaya naitatanong ko sa kan'ya 'yung subjects, hehe."
"Sipsip naman." Pagsingit ni Kia.
"Atleast hindi lang ako, bleh." Agad namang natawa si Kia at Ivy.
Dumating na din sila Ice. Nasa canteen kami ngayon, dahil 7:30 AM pa lang at 8:00 AM pa naman ang start ng klase.
"Goodmorning guys!"
"Goodmorning din!"
Masiglang bati nila Aqui at Archie. They really have the same vibes.
"Kanina pa kayo dito?" Tanong ni Ice.
"Siguro mga 8-10 minutes na? Ang tagal n'yo, eh. 'Di ba dapat sabay-sabay tayo pupunta sa canteen?" Mainit na naman ulo ni Kia.
"I'm out of that. Nauna akong magising sa kanila." Sabi ni Ash. S'ya lang ba matured sa kanila? Parang mas responsible pa s'ya, noh?
"Hoy, responsable din ako! 'Di lang ako nagigising ng maaga, ok??" Ay, nabasa mo pala isip ko, haha. Sorry naman, bitch.
"Itahimik mo 'yang utak mo, bata." A-Ano??
"Pati height ko idadamay mo gano'n?!"
Hmph! Nakakaramdama ko na umiinit na ulo ko, shit.
"Kalma, kalma! Tinitingnan na kayo ng ibang estudyante dito, oh! Tsaka kumain na lang kayo, para kahit late sila nagising, bago pa rin tayo makakapasok, right??" Buti pa si Aqui, hindi katulad ng Kuya n'ya. How tragic, tsk.
"Oo na." Wala namang no choice si Ice, ang dami nang nakatingin sa amin. Nakakahiya ba o nakakairita? Dami namang chismoso't chismosa dito.
Umorder na kami ng pagkain. Mas lalo akong nagugutom kapag gan'to sitwasyon, eh. Pancake ulit inorder ko, pero with chocolate syrup at berries. Hmmm, sosyal 'di ba? Ta's hot chocolate milk ulit. Sarap kaya. Sweet and milky, mas masarap pa sa milo at bear brand. Charr.
After namin kumain, umakyat na kami ulit sa classroom namin at hinintay 'yung combat subject teacher namin kasi 7:54 pa lang naman.
Saktong 8:00 AM, nandito na 'yung teacher namin sa combat subject. And lalake na naman.
"Goodmorning students. Stand up." Hala may pa-stand up pang nalalaman. Kaya naman namin gawin 'yan kase may paa naman kami, 'di ba?
"I'm Martin Blaze, your combat subject teacher."
Agad naman kaming tumayo at nag-goodmorning. Tono pa lang ng boses mukhang strikto na, hayst.
Pero wait... Blaze 'yung surname n'ya? Just like Asher's?
"I know what you're thinking," Napalingon naman ako sa likod ko nang may bumulong. "Yeah, he's my Dad." Ah... Kaya siguro s'ya pinasok sa school na 'to kasi dito nagtuturo 'yung tatay n'ya. Galing naman ng instincts ni Ash. Enhanced vision 'yung ability n'ya right? Pero alam n'ya pa rin 'yung nasa isip ko. Maybe because I'm also his friend kaya alam n'ya ang magiging reaction ko as a new comer here.
"Pupunta na tayo sa gymnasium. Pumila na kayo, bilis." Hala napakastrikto naman ng tatay mi Ash. 'Di ko kakayaning mabuhay kapag gan'yan magulang ko.
Pumila na kami, katulad lang ng pila nung nagschool tour. Pero hindi namin kasama 'yung Novice section. Baka mahiya kasi malakas kami. Charot. Yabang ko noh? Minsan lang, haha.
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.
"The winner is Kiara Fierro."
"Next Chris Hermyz vs. Ivory De Leon."
Omg! I can't wait to see my non-trained bestfriend fight again. Basta nung choosing sections pa ay hindi talaga namin inexpect na mananalo kami.
Ivy made wind blades to slightly damage Chris. Chris' element is nature. Ivy can easily cut Chris' spells like vines tsaka 'yung mga nangangain na halaman.
Chris summoned huge vines to chase Ivy. Agad naman s'yang napatakbo kasi masyadong mabilis
'yung paghabol sa kan'ya nung vines. Ivy made air blades to cut the vines in half. Ivy made huge tornadoes na dahilan para mapatakip ng mata si Chris. She then casted 4 air blades to trap Chris inside.
"The winner is Ivory De Leon."
"Next..."
Naglaban pa 'yung ibang estudyante at natagalan din kasi ang gagaling nila. After more than 20 minutes ay natapos na 'yung ibang estudyante. Ang sakit na ng mata ko sa sobrang daming elements na naglalaban. Tsaka med'yo inaantok na din ako. And 2 students were left. Which is....
"Lastly... Hmm... Skylar Reyes vs. Ice Brimn."
S-Seriously?? Sa lahat ng matitira, ba't kaming dalawa pa? Tsaka ba't laging nahuhuli ako? 'Di n'yo ba 'ko p'wedeng i-priority kahit isang beses lang.
Bumaba na si Ice habang naglalakad na sobrang confident. Wow.
Bumaba na din ako at nasa gitna na ako ng lahat. Phobia ko pa naman na ang daming taong tumitingin sa'kin.
Napatingin s'ya sa'kin at nag-smirk. "You think you can beat me?" Ta's ngumisi ulit s'ya.
"Are you okay? May naririnig ka ba na hindi namin naririnig?" Naging seryoso na ulit 'yung mukha n'ya.
Napatingin ulit ako sa kwintas ko, ans once again, lumiwanag s'ya nang slight. Kinakabahan ako. Ang baba ng chance na manalo ako. But I must try, katulad ng sinabi ni Mama Lea, hindi p'wedeng susuko lang ako. At mas lalong hindi p'wedeng sumuko ako sa paghahanap sa totoo kong mga magulang.
"Ready, start!"
Ice made ice spikes and launched it towards me. Why so aggressive, tsk. I made vines and tried to chase him, but he made another set of ice spikes to cut my vines. I just remembered, my ability is telekinesis. Ginamit ko 'yung ability ko, telekinesis, para mapalutang 'yung mga ice spikes na nahulog sa sahig.
"Wait, what?!" Mukhang nagulat s'ya. Mahina yata sa memorization 'tong lalaking 'to.
He didn't expect what happened next. Nadaplisan s'ya sa pisngi at agad n'ya namang hinawakan 'to.
"Goddammit. "
Rinig kong bulong n'ya. I summoned a venus flytrap and he immediately made an ice barrier to cover it's mouth. Baka matagalan 'tong laban na 'to.
I already feel exhausted. Pinagpapawisan at nahihirapan na 'kong huminga. Siguro dahil hindi ako sanay sa gantong uri ng pagp-pratice. Masasanay din ako 'pag natapos ko na 'tong school year na 'to.
"Go, Kuya! Go Sky!"
"Kaya n'yo 'yan!"
Well of course parehas nila kaming susuportahan. Sana lahat walang favoritism, noh?
"Ano? Kaya mo pa?" Tanong n'ya habang nakangisi.
"Hulaan mo."
F*ck you.
"F*ck you too." Makapal talaga mukha neto, eh. 'Di s'ya nahihiya kahit kung ano-ano pa 'yung sinasabi n'ya sa harap ng maraming tao. Kulang na lang sumigaw s'ya sa mic at speaker.
Kanina pa s'ya hinahabol at iniipit ng mga vines ko. I took the advantage of his exhaustion para atakihin s'ya sa likod.
I summoned a huge venus flytrao behind him, napatulala naman s'ya at mga ilang segundo lang nasa loob na s'ya nung venus flytrap.
"The winner is Skylar Reyes."
"B*tch! Palabasin mo ko dito!!" Ang ingay n'ya sobra. Luckily he's still alive. In-unsummon ko na 'yung venus flytrap at nahulog naman si Ice sa sahig.
"Kamusta feeling du'n sa loob?" Pang-aasar ni Archie.
"Yuck, Kuya! Maligo ka muna do'n!" Natatawang sabi ni Aqui dahil basang-basang si Ice du'n sa sticky thing sa loob nung flytrap.
Napatingin naman s'ya sa'kin ta's nag-smirk. 'Di ko alam kung masaya s'ya o nang-aasar o nang-iinis dahil nanalo ako.
And also, I didn't expect that I will win. Nagliwanag ulit 'yung kwintas at hinawakan ko ito.
Is this thing really connected to my parents?
