Grizelda

*krriiiiinggg*

Napakunot ang noo ko sa malakas na bell na narinig ko. Unti unti kong idinilat ang mata ko at tumabad saakin ang maliwanag na araw na nagmumula sa bintana. Napaupo ako sa pagkakahiga nang marealize ko na umaga na. Naririnig ko na rin ang mga yapak sa labas dahil siguro sa narinig nilang bell.

Ugh. I hate mornings.

Inayos ko lang saglit ang itsura ko at lumabas na din sa kwarto. Sumunod ako sa iba kung saan sila papunta.

"Good morning Milady." And for once again. Tumabad nanaman saakin ang nakangiting mukha ni Killian.

"Morning." Sabi ko at hindi na siya pinansin. Nakita kong nasa harap si Maurice. Mukhang may sasabihin nanaman.

"I would like to tell you some rules of the Academy. The morning bell will ring at exactly 7 am, that means you need to wake up then you have 30 minutes to take a shower and get ready at the shower room. Each one of you has a locker there and everyday you have new clothes that is already ready inside your locker. Not only clothes, sometimes they put things that you will need for the rest of the day." She explained.

"Before 30 minutes make sure that you are all finish. After that, we will proceed to the Dining room, so we can eat breakfast together. After we eat that's the start of our class. The schedule is already in your locker, you can read it so you know what we will do to the rest of the day. Thank you." She added.

Breakfast together? Cringe.

Their rules are so cringe.

"Girls, follow us and then boys, follow killian to proceed in the shower room."

"See you later, milady." Sabi saakin ni Killian bago inasikaso ang mga new comers na lalaki. I rolled my eyes. Ramdam ko nanaman ang masamang tingin ng isa.

Nakarating na kami sa shower room. Hindi naman ganun kalaki pero marami ang pwede makagamit. Sa side din nito ay ang marami at malaking locker.

Hinanap ko ang locker ko na may pangalan. Narito na rin ang susi. Nilagay ko ang susi ng room ko sa locker at kinuha na ang towel. Tinignan ko ang damit na nakalagay. Mayroong uniform. What the heck? They're expecting me to wear this kind of uniform? A fucking mini skirt? Are they trying to look like on the mortal world? Like the teenagers? Hell.

Tinignan ko pa ang ibang laman ng locker. Hindi ganun karami ang gamit. Mayroong black shoes, slippers, socks, some clothes, and hygiene things. Nakita ko rin ang schedule ng class na sinasabi nila. Saglit ko lang ito tinignan at itinabi na.

For real? There is no fucking pants.

I rolled my eyes at pumasok sa isang cubicle. Naririnig ko ang ingay at kwentuhan nila. Ang sakit sa tenga. Nakakairita talaga kapag maingay sa paligid.

Hindi ko nalang sila pinansin at inasikaso ang sarili ko. Mabilis lang ako natapos pero hinintay ko silang matapos at umalis na. I don't care if malate ako basta hindi nila pwedeng makita na wala akong contact lense at kulay pilak ang buhok ko.

Hindi ko pinatay ang shower para akalain nila na hindi pa ako tapos. Narinig ko naman ang mga tunog ng pagsara ng locker nila at mga yapak nila. Maingay pa rin sila mukhang nagkakamabutihan na.

Maya maya lang ay nawala na ang ingay kaya mabilis kong ginawa na paitimin ang buhok ko at lumabas ng cubicle. Sinugurado ko muna na wala nang tao sa bawat cubicle at pinakiramdaman. Mabilis akong pumunta sa locker ko at tinignan sa salami ang itsura ko.

This fucking skirt is so short!

Binotones ko ang pangtaas ko na uniform. It's a plain white long sleeve. Inayos ko rin ang mini skirt na kulay itim at kinuha ko ang nakasampay na coat sa locker. It's a black coat with silver linings. Napatingin ako sa nahulog. A fucking red ribbon? Seriously?! Pinulot ko ito at inilagay sa locker ang ribbon. There is no way in hell that I'll wear that.

I didn't expect that they have this kind of set up with this small academy. Kung titignan mo talaga ay luma na ito at hindi naman mukhang eskwelahan.

Narinig ko nanaman ang pagtunog ng bell. Hindi ako nataranta. Why would I be scared? Isinuot ko na ang contact lense ko at inayos ang sarili.

Tinignan ko ang sarili ko sa salamin. Napangiwi ako at isinarado na ang locker. Wearing this kind of outfit makes me cringe. Don't tell me that we will wear this every fucking day?

I sigh at lumabas na ng shower room. Rinig ko pa rin ang mga boses nila kaya nalaman ko agad kung saan ang Dining room.

Pagpunta ko sa Dining room ay naroon sila lahat sa isang pahaba na table at mga nakaupo na. Lahat sila ay napatingin saakin.

What?!

I want to shout at them like what are they looking at but I didn't. I just ignore them and take a seat. Naramdaman ko ang pagtaray saakin nang isa. Who? You know who.

"Are we complete now?" Nagsalita ang isang babae na nasa unahan ng table. She looks young but definitely not a teenager.

"I am Mrs. Nessa. I'm your History teacher and also your second guardian aside from Professor Shane. Usually, I'll be with you every breakfast and Dinner. On Lunch will be Prof. Shane." She smiled to everyone. "We don't usually use our magic powers because of what's happening in our world. Our powers are not strong enough to use it daily but since this is your first day and many of you are new. Here are welcome foods for you to enjoy before your class start." Isang galaw niya lang sa kamay niya ay nagkaroon na ng maraming pagkain ang hapag kainan.

"Wow"

"Thank you, Mrs. Nessa."

"They look delicious!"

"Waah this is my favorite food."

"Thank you."

Iba ibang boses ang maririnig sa hapag kainan.

"You're all welcome. I'm so happy that we'll able to eat together. I hope that you all treat each other like a family. Because that's what we do here."

And once again, I became cringe to what I'm hearing. I really don't like wisdom words or sweet words. It makes me feel uncomfortable.

Actually, right now I'm uncomfortable because this is the first time I ate with other people. I always been alone, I also don't eat in restaurants, or outside when I'm in the mortal world. I don't hangout either. In many years, whatever I do. I'm always alone.

"I really want to get to know all of you but there is time and day for that. For now, please focus on lessons because there is so much you need to know about our world and your powers." Mrs. Nessa said. "Have a great first day."

Natapos na kumain ang lahat. Lahat kami ay sumunod papunta sa room kung saan magaganap ang unang subject. Sa pagkakatanda ko ang first subject namin ay Magic & Abilities.

This is my first time being in school.

But different because this is not look like a school.

Huminto kami sa isang room. Bumukas ang pinto nito at lahat kami ay nagsipasok. Nakita namin na narito si Prof. Shane. He half smiled when he saw us. Malaki ang room. Maluwag. Puno rin ng mga kung ano anong pictures sa wall at kung ano anong nakadisplay.

"Take a seat."

"Good morning. Prof. Shane." Bati ng karamihan.

"Good morning."

Naglakad na ang iba para umupo sa kanilang gusto upuan. Ako naman ay naupo sa likod.

"How's your breakfast?" He asked.

"Good."

"There is so many foods. Prof. Shane."

Sagot nila.

Prof. Shane chuckled. "It's good that you enjoyed it. Okay now, let's start our class. Shall we?" He said at automatic na may lumabas na projector sa harap.

"I will be teaching the Magic & Abilities. I know that you already know what that means. BUT in our class, I will teach you how your magic & abilities work. Some of you don't know how to control it right? But some of you know how but not a lot?" He chuckle.

"But how I will teach you if I don't know what your magic is? Your abilities? That's why we're going to have a short introduction, It includes your name, and what magic or abilities you have. But before that I would like to tell you that there is 3 types of magic users."

"First is the "Elemental" Elemental magic users command forces of nature. Some can bend water to their will, some are able to cause mold soil, and other can conjure fire or create an electric current. Elemental users can cause a great deal of magic. In short this is the strong and powerful magics. This includes the pyrokinesis, mastery over fire, Aquakinesis, mastery over water, Geokinesis, mastery over earth, Aerokinesis, mastery over air and Fulgurkinesis, mastery over lightning. In our world, This is the special magic, not everyone can have. If you know the world Academia, all the people there have this kind of magic powers." He stopped. "Oh, I'm sorry, you will know that in your History class."  Sa projector nito lumabas ang iba ibang pictures about Elemental. The fire, air, wind, earth and lightning.

I don't why I become furious when I heard the word Academia. My heart beats fast.

Suddenly, I want to know more about Academia. What is that fucking world?

"The second type is "Mental" Mental users is the magic of mind, it would be best described as magic of the will. This includes a slew of powers that rely on the will of the user. The mental talents are many and varied, from telekinesis, which can be used to a devastating effect, to harmonizing. This is more likely the Special Abilities, this is the common in our world.  Many people have this kind of power."

"And lastly, The "Arcane" Arcane users are likely known as Dangerous. Power of arcane magic users comes from reaching into arcane realm, a place of magic outside of our typical reality. Only few have this kind of magic in our world. This talents are frequently disturbing. This is likely known as Dark magic. But it is not that dangerous if you use this in a good way. And if you know how to control it."

"Did you get it?" He asked. "You can raise your hand if you have any question."

May isang babae na nagtaas ng kamay. "Yes?"

"W-what if I still don't know what magic I have?"

Prof. Shane smiled. "Don't worry, many of you really don't know what power you have. But I will help you that's why I'm here. I will help you release what power that is inside you."

"Now let's start the Introduction. I need to know what is your name and your power, so we can tell what type of magic you have. If you still don't know you can tell me what did you experienced that is related of you being strong and different." He said. "Let's start in front. Yes even the seniors need to introduce so you can get to know each other."

Tumayo si Maurice. Siya ang nasa unahan kaya siya ang nauna.

"I'm Maurice, and my type of magic is Arcane which is Shapeshifting, it is an ability to transform and reshape myself. I can also transform into different creatures."

Napataas ang kilay ko sa narinig. It means she can change appearance. Napaisip ako. The one who look like me maybe she have this kind of ability?

Napataray ako nang makita ko sino ang sunod na tumayo. Okay let's hear what power she have.

"I'm Cristel, my ability is Projection from the Mental type. It is an ability to transmit images and feelings to the mind of others. And no don't ask me to show you the feelings of your crushes." She said and rolled her eyes.

Napangisi ako. She really can fight with that kind of ability? Imagine, pranking using images and feelings to others... All we want to know is what kind of images and feelings she will transmit?

Sunod na tumayo ay ang lalaki na madalas kasama ni Maurice.

"Nicholas is the name! Im from the mental type also. The cloaking, ability to make someone invisible and unable to be detected. Don't worry, I'll not use this when you are in the shower room. Hehe." Napahawak siya sa batok niya.

Nagkantyawan naman ang ibang lalaki.

"You really should not or else..." Tinignan siya ng masama ni Prof. Shane.

"Yes sir!" He said and take his seat.

Sunod na tumayo ang isang babae na napansin ko ay magkamukha sila ni Cristel. I think they are sisters.

"I'm Irene. My ability is Elenchus, from mental type. It's an ability to distinguish lie from truth. In short, truth seeking.

I don't know if I'm right. They have a same features but their personality are nothing a like. Cristel looks like she is a mean and spoiled brat and Irene is the serious type.

Whatever.

This is not so me.

Why I am describing other people?

And why the fuck I'm listening like I'm interested??

Coz you are

I'm fucking not.

"I'm Tessa. My ability is power swapping from mental. I can swap the powers of the two individual and I also control what powers they have. The two powers. So you all better back off losers." She bitchy said.

"Tessa..." Banta ni Prof. Shane. I secretly rolled my eyes. Why they have so many drama?

Sunod naman na tumayo na babae. She looks shy. I think she is new kasi hindi ko naman napapansin na kasama siya sa grupo nila Killian.

"Hi. I'm a new comer. My name is Jhil, my ability is Telekinesis, ability to move objects with mind. I think it's from mental type." Mahinahon naman ang pagsalita niya but she really looks shy.

"Oh great! Do you know how to control it already?" Prof. Shane asked.

"Yes sir, I just messed up sometimes. I'm still learning it."

"That's good."

Sumunod na tumayo ay ang babae na katabi nito.

"Hi! Im Zara, also a new comer. My ability is Precognition, it is an ability to see events before it happen. But I still don't know how to use it."

"It is from mental. So you need to use it using your mind. Don't worry. We'll teach you how to control it." Prof. Shane

"Thank you, Sir."

I don't but suddenly I became bored. Hanggang kelan ba matatapos ito? Sumandal ako sa inuupuan ako at pinagmasdan nalang sila na magpakilala. Ang iba ay hindi naman nakikinig at nakikipag usap lang lalo na ang mga sinasabi nilang seniors. Ang iba ay nakatutok at pinapakinggan ang nagpapakilala.

Napansin ko na nasa harap ko lang pala si Killian, hindi kalayuan saakin. Napansin niya atang nakatingin ako sa kanya kaya napaharap siya saakin. I rolled my eyes to him.

He smiled. "Hi milady." Pagkatapos niyang sabihin ito ay bumalik na siya sa pakikinig.

Napailing nalang ako.

"I'm Archibald. Mind control is my ability from the mental. It is an ability to control people mind but only if they are willing for me to control it. But I can use this on some people who is easy to go in their mind but that needs to have a lot of practice. I'm still practicing it." Salita nang isang lalaki na katabi ni Killian. Isa ito sa mga kaibigan niya.

Don't ask me why I know. I have a good memory.

Sunod naman na tumayo ay syempre sino pa ba ang Killian na gusto ng mga babae na hindi ko alam bakit gusto nila kasi isa siyang kupal ang makulit para saakin?

"Hi." I rolled my eyes when I saw how he smiled. Obviously, he's trying to be cute. "I'm Killian. My power may be scary but I'm not." Did he just fucking wink??? "My power is from the Arcane called Summoning. It is an ability to manifestation of creatures. I can summon some creatures. I can also tell if a creature is a good or bad. I still haven't tried if I can control them but I'll see. My ability is kind of dangerous but don't worry I got you all."

I'm cringe for him. Ugh.

Pero napakunot ang noo ko. Napansin ko na halos lahat ay Mental type ang ability nila, and only two of them are the Arcane type which is okay lang dahil it is really rare sabi ni Prof. Shane.

Paano nila nasabi na these people is one of the savior if they don't have the Elemental type of magic? I mean... Prof. Shane said the Elemental type is the special magic and base on his description  I think this is the strongest magics.

Ugh.

Ngayon may dumagdag nanaman sa utak ko na gusto kong malaman.

Napatingin ako sa tumayo. It is his turn. I'm also curious about his magic. I don't know, he really looks smart. At noong nakausap ko siya at mukha talagang nagprepare siya sa mundong ito.

"Uhm. I'm Kyzer. A new comer. My ability is from Elemental..."

Hindi ko alam pero halos lahat ay napatingin sakanya. Especially the Seniors and Prof. Shane.

Like even me.

Kakasabi ko lang na walang Elemental type and him. The second to the last will say that he have elemental type of magic?

But that's not what I'm curious about.

Bakit ganito ang reaksyon nila?

"W-wow." React ni Prof. Shane. "Really? What type of Elemental?"

"Aquakinesis, sir."

It is the ability to control water... I don't know but even me become amaze. It's fucking special magic. I knew it. He is mysterious. Una palang na nakita ko siya sa tingin ko ay may tinatago siya. Even if he looks weak, he's carrying a great magic.

"Are you sure?" Tanong ni Tessa.

"Yeah. Are you not imagining?" Tanong naman ni Cristel.

"It is really a Special magic bro. Wow." Amaze na sabi ni Nicholas.

"It is a mastery over Water." I don't know if it's just me but I can see the happiness on Prof. Shane's eyes. "How did you know your magic?"

"When I was child. I really feel the water is calling me. The ocean, river, sea, lake and other that have water. I can feel them. When I felt that, I made some research, and I observed. Then one day, I tried to control the water and It works. I can control it, but I still don't have any idea on how to control some type of water." Kyzer said.

"I believed in you, child. You have a special magic. And that magic is also rare in this town. Do you already know who is your parents? I mean, if you have that kind of magic. There is a 90% possibility that you are from the world Academia."

"No. But I know their names."

"We'll talk after class."

I don't know what to feel. I'm really become furious every time I heard the word Academia.

Narealize ko na pagkatapos ni Kyzer ay ako na ang magpapakilala.

What the heck.

Hindi ko manlang naalala na isa rin ako sa magpapakilala. What the fuck I will say?

Hindi ko naman pwede sabihin na I can change the color of my hair??

Seriously.

I don't understand what magic or power I have.

I have a strong fighting ability?

I can use magic, but I don't what kind of magic?

Argh.

"Ms?"

Napatigil ako sa iniisip ko nang mapansin ko na nakatingin saakin ang lahat. Pansin ko ang mataray na tingin nang dalawang babae, at iba ay nag aabang sa gagawin ko. Si Killian naman na nakasmile lang saakin. What the fuck.

Ibinalik ko sa seryoso ang mukha ko at tumayo sa pagkakaupo.

Kinalma ko ang sarili ko bago mag salita.

"You can call me Zelda. I don't know what else or what kind of magic I have but I know that I have a Fighting ability." Seryosong sabi ko.

I don't know why but Cristel laugh.

Bitch make sure that you have something good to say because I'll smash your face if you don't. Sabi ng aking isipan.

"Fighting ability, seriously?" She said laughing.

"Projection ability, seriously?" Ulit ko pero mas mataray na tono.

Napatigil siya sa pagtawa at tinignan ako ng masama.

"Girls." Saway ni Prof. Shane. "Cristel, let her speak."

"I don't have anything to say." Mabilis kong sabi at naupo.

"Okay. Let's talk later." Sabi ni Prof. Shane.

"Since the time are really fast. This is the end of our class. I'll see you again tomorrow. Goodluck to your next subject. I'll just call some of you later to talk. You can now leave."

I rolled my eyes at naunang tumayo sa lahat. Lumabas na rin ako ng room. The next subject is history. And that's what I'm waiting for. I have a lot of questions about the word Academia.

I don't have time for people's bullshit.

I'll try to update once a week. Thank you! Stay safe, clean & healthy!
