Aishi's POV


Teacher?! She's a Teacher!? HOW?!


"You're supposed to wait for me. Don't go saying stuff like that, it will confuse them more than it should be."

A handsome tall man appeared from behind her. He was so handsome it's as if he just walked out from a fictional-story-portal. He had a gradient color of white to blue hair-----the hair from his scalp is white, but when it goes on the middle it becomes light blue, and on the ends of his hair it's color blue. It is literally a gradient of blue. Mayroon din siyang uniform na katulad ng babaeng robot pero in male-style lang. I'm guessing he's a robot too.

"Excited na ako eh! Gustong-gusto ko ng makita ang mga reaction nila~! Magiging gaya rin kaya nung last 2 batches of students before?"

What?! S-so what I said in the video is true!


["Nangyari yun sa mga estudante from the past two batches of the Camp. The first one was 6 years ago, and the second one was 3 years ago."]


"Oh well, hindi na yan importante. Malalaman din naman nilang lahat. So, shall we begin?" Yung isang robot naman ang nagsalita. I can feel the opposite aura of these two, dahil palagi siyang nakapoker face, he's more like stoic and less emotional type, parang si Layleson lang.

He snapped his fingers, then a voice spoke from the speakers.


{"To all students, please make your way into the screening area. Just walk forward and you'll see the big screen, for we will now begin our opening ceremony. I repeat, please make your way into the screening area, as soon as possible. Thank you."}

Sa announcement nayun, boses niya ang ginamit pero hindi ko naman nakitang gumalaw ang bibig niya. Baka recorded yun? Ano ba Aishi, hindi na yan importante. There's a bigger issue at hand.

Ilang minuto ang lumipas at maraming tao na ang paparating dito sa direksyon kong saan kami ngayon. At ang dami nila, mukhang mga kaedad ko rin.

Marami ang litong-lito sa kanila, I don't blame them for that. With a place like this, of course we are scared and confused.

"Hmm... It seems like everyone is here."

"Yaaay! Then we can finally begin!"

"So, shall we officially begin?"

"... The long awaited opening ceremony~!"

The two robots exchanged those phrases. And finally, something appeared on the gigantic screen. Just two letters are displayed, 'K.C'.


{"Good day to all students here at the School Trip Camp! We have been excitedly waiting for your arrival, and we also prepared by our atmost best of our abilities to organize all the fun and surprising activities that will be held in this Camp."}

That voice again, the voice that I heard back from the room that I was in. That distorted voice...

"That is the Mastermind." Layleson whispered, he made sure that only the three of us would hear it.

And yes, the three of us are thinking the same thing.


{"Apologies, if we made you terrified upon arriving here. But thankfully nobody was hurt right? If there are, those people should've been died, they don't deserve to join this Camp."}

Huh? Teka, ngayun ko lang rin narealize. Na sa lahat ng mga tao dito, kaming tatlo lang ang sugatan. Jayce is also inquired, he just didn't want us to notice it, but I somehow saw his wound at his back. A-and it's deep, I can't believe he endured it. Tinatakpan pa niya sa backpack niya. Jayce...

{"Those students who are inquired right now are what I want to call, "The Impostors". Actually before this Opening Ceremony, there were quite a handful of them, you know? They want to stop this Camp, and some of them are not students, there are police involved too! Pretending to be a student... I tried to eliminate them, so that our time here in the Camp is peaceful and enjoyable. However... some of them survived... I must admit, I'm quite impressed. Thus, I decided to let them enter, I think it is fate that they survived that battle, they have a talent to be an Ultimate too."}


"It's not a battle! It was a massacre!" Ayoko ng tumahimik pa, this bastard... So marami pala kaming gustong mapahinto ang ginagawa niyang krimen, at pinatay niya lang sa ganoong paraan!? At bakit ang dali-dali lang sa kanya na sabihin to sa lahat, hindi ba siya nakokonsenya?!

{"Hmm, just as I anticipated. One of "The Impostors" reacted. That's not a smart move for you little girl."}


"What...?" Anong ibig sabihin niya?

"Aishi... It's a trap." Jayce painfully closed his eyes.

"W-what do you mean? H-how is it a trap?"

"He shared that information, despite all the people here, the Mastermind took the risk of revealing that he killed those people just to trap us." Layleson said.

"T-trap!?" Kinakabahan na ako.

"You still didn't realize!?" He frowned while asking that question.

"Our plan is now revealed, Aishi. Dapat hindi tayo aakit ng atensyon while entering this place." Jayce replied with weak voice.

"And?!" What are they talking about?

"Think about it! Kung alam ng mga students na nandito tayo upang pabagsakin ang Mastermind, ano nalang ang iisipin nila. They entered this place to hone their skills and shape their future, at ang Mastermind ang tutulong sa kanila. But we, on the other hand, wanted to stop the Mastermind. Sa side nila, akala nila na pipigilan natin sila sa mga pangarap nila."

W-when he said that, it made perfectly sense!

"Our cover is blown. The Mastermind distracted us!" Jayce clenched his fist.


"We messed up." Layleson put his hand on his chin. "Nagalit siya dahil hindi niya tayo mapapatay, pero may narealize din siya something about us---I don't know what it is but then the Mastermind tested us. Kaya tayo napunta sa room na yun, he/she tested our luck and our fate as well, ng positive na siya na hindi niya tayo mapapatay for unknown reasons, he/she used that against us! Yes we survived, that's a good thing, pero ginamit niya yun laban sa atin and it is our big mistake! Mayroon tayong paraan upang mapigilan to pero hindi tayo gumalaw agad!"

"Konektado ito sa pagkawala ng memorya ni Aishi, diba?" Jayce asked Layleson, and he nodded.

"We are injured, but we have medkit. Magagamot natin ang mga sarili natin at itatago sa mga estudante at least, na sugatan tayo which will not look suspicious in their eyes, kahit na sasabihin ng Mastermind sa kanila yung info na sinabi niya ngayun. However... *sigh* we got distracted by the fact that your memories are stolen. Nag-papanik tayo, kung naging kalmado pa tayo at dali-dali nating nilabanan ito sa paggamot ng ating mga sugat, hindi tayo magagamit ng Mastermind. It was a fatal mistake on our side, dammit!"


H-he was right... I can't believe I didn't even realize that up until now, I'm so stupid!


Wh-what do we do now...?!
