bound beyond fates

chapter 36.

"i think all students here heard about the magician of amari fortress right?" nagulat ako dahil biglang inangat ni aziel ang ulo niyang nakasobsub sa lamesa. oh? akala ko ba malaki din ang galit niya sa magician ng amari fortress pero bakit mukhang interesado siya ngayon? did i interpret that wrong?

lahat ng mga kaklase namin ay sabay sabay tumango at kita sa mukha nila paghanga sa taong binanggit ni prof. who wouldn't? i also admire that person since the magician of the amari fortress is considered the most powerful magician that ever exist. kaya nga naweweirduhan ako sa katabi ko ngayon dahil akala ko ayaw niya sakanya but i guess he also like him especially all magicians across the world idolize him.

"of course who wouldn't know him? he's literally my model!"

"yeah! i've been wanting to meet him!"

"but aren't those only legend?"

" who knows? they said that he fell asleep after the late king keith died."

fell asleep? i think i heard that from someone.

" yeah, he even recognized our strongest king here in claveria!"

napatigil ang usapan ng ilang estudyante nang biglang makarinig ng isang malakas na kaluskos kaya lahat kami ay napatingin kay aziel. kita sa mukha niya ang pagka irita. what's wrong with you?! i thought you like the magician of the amari fortress? then why did you intentionally pushed your desk? is it because they mentioned the late king keith?

"ah sorry, i just heard some bullshit so i didn't mean it." it's a lie! pati din ang mga kaklase ko ay hindi naniwala, buti nalang at tumikhim ang prof namin.

"all you've heard about the magician of the amari fortress are all tru-" napatigil sa pagsasalita ang prof namin nang igalaw muli ni aziel ang desk niya. masama ko siyang tinitigan dahil nakakaistorbo na siya.

"my bad. i think my desk has a problem that's why it moves noisily." he nonchalantly stated and the prof warned him.

" sir aziel please refrain the noise coming from your desk. it's disturbing our class."

" alright, alright. i'll stay quite na." gusto ko siyang hampasin dahil sa tono ng boses niya. hindi niya ba alam gumalang sa nakakatanda sakanya?

bumuntong hininga nalang ang prof namin at nagpatuloy. and here i thought that aziel will behave since he's interested with our topic today. i guess i expected too much from him.

"the magician of the amari fortress is declared as the most powerful and almighty sorcerer that ever lived in our history. it is stated that they're two magicians inherited this title. the first generation lived about a thousand years that any magician can't achieve." kahit ilang beses ko na ito narinig at nabasa, hindi pa din ako makapaniwala sa ilang taon siyang nabuhay. imagine living in thousand years, wouldn't life be boring and void?

" - and the second generation is a pridogy since child. he has a limitless mana so the first generation kept him to became his successor. the day when the first generation died, his discipline became the magician of the amari fortress at young age." lahat kami ay nakikinig pati din ang katabi ko ay tahimik na nakatitig kay prof. pero bakit ganyan ang ekspresyon niya? parang may napakinggan siyang ayaw niyang marinig.

" how did the first generation died?" tanong ng isang kaklase namin at sinagot ito ng prof.

" he committed suicide." lahat kami ay natahimik at ilan sa mga kaklase ko ay may gulat sa pagmumukha. bilang lang sa mga libro ang nakasaad kung paano namatay ang unang magician ng amari fortress. hindi na ako nagulat no'ng nabasa ko 'yun sa palasyo dahil gano'n din ang gagawin ko kung nabuhay ako ng sobrang tagal.
