CHAPTER 04

Chapter 04:
Wind Enhancer

Sa ilang libong umaasang makapag-aral sa Miracle Heart Academy, na'sa tatlong daan na lamang kaming natira. Napatingin ako sa mga estudyanteng hindi nagtagumpay sa ability test. Half of them are crying and some are bowing their heads in sadness.

Hindi ko sila masisisi. Nakakalungkot nga namang hindi ka nakapasa gayong ang haba ng nilakbay mo makarating lang dito. I bet that all them even trained hard just for this enrollment, just like me. But not all are considered lucky.

Inalis ko na ang tingin sa kanila ng mag-umpisa na ang pangalawang pagsubok. Kasalukuyang na'sa loob ngayon ng maze ang unang grupo. Fifty of them are finding their way to the exit of the maze. Kailangan naming makalabas doon habang iniiwasan ang mga patibong na nakaantabay samin.

Every path has dangerous traps that you need to avoid. When I say it's dangerous, it's really dangerous. Half of the students are already out of the game because of that.

In this game of maze, you have three corresponding lives. Mababawasan lamang ang buhay mo kapag nasugatan ka, kapag hindi mo natalo ang mythical creatures na na'sa loob at higit sa lahat, kapag tuluyan ka ng hindi nakalabas ng maze. There's also a time limit kaya sobrang hirap nito.

My eyes diverted on the chart board when Heather, the Manipulator and Celestial Spirit Summoner, got the number one rank on their team. Every student in the arena has their bets on the newcomers. At nangunguna na sa listahan nila si Heather sumunod si Cael at pangatlo naman si Wanda.

Those three are exceptionally talented and well trained.

Kumunot ang noo ko ng mapagtantong limampu na lamang ang nagtagumpay sa maze maliban sa huling grupo na kabilang ako. Sampu ang natira sa unang grupo, dalawampu't lima naman sa pangalawa habang ang pangatlong grupo ay nagkaroon ng labing lima na nakapasa.

Na'sa tapat na ako ng daan na gusto kong pasukin palabas ng maze. Hinanda ko ang sarili at mariing tinitigan ang madilim na daan. I promise to Papa that I'll passed this exam and be a student in this academy. Hindi ang maze na ito ang sisira sa pangakong 'yon.

"For the last group, you will now enter the maze and start finding your own path towards the exit! Good luck!".

Wala na akong inaksayang oras kundi tumakbo papasok. I used my wind magic to track down the path to the exit. Masyado pa akong malayo. It will take couple of minutes to get there. Napahinto ako ng lumabas ang isang malaking gagamba sa dinaraanan ko.

It's a Red Flame Tarantula. It has a fire magic that will come out of his mouth while his eight hands have a poison that can stop your breathing for at least 1 hour.

What a great monster to start my day, it's a fucking S Class.

Tumalon ako ng malakas gamit ang wind magic ko. I started to throw wind blades towards the spider. Nakita kong tumama ang ilang blades sa dibdib nito. The only way to beat this monster is through his heart. At 'yon ang kailangan kong asintahin.

I used my specialist ability to stop his moves for a second and create a wind bow and arrow. Dinig ko ang singhapan at bulungan ng mga estudyante sa ginawa ko. They must be shocked that I'm able to stop the movements of the monster in just a blink of an eye.

But little did they know, it's my specialist ability who did that. Of course, only the same specialist can know about that. And that is the Crown Prince who's finally watching this test seriously. Napansin kong nagsimula na syang manood ng seryoso ng magsimula nang pumasok sa maze ang unang grupo.
