(TYPOS AND ERRORS AHEAD)
"Attention all incoming students! Please fall in line to your respective status. Again, please fall in line to your respective status!"
Lahat ng mga baguhang estdyante ay naka tumpok sa pinaka-dulo ng malaking arena. Habang nasa kaliwa at kanan naman ang mga nag dadamihang benches ng mga old students ng Uni.
"I'll be watching you." Mariing saad ng isang lalaking may matayog na pangangatawan kay Reyn. At umalis ng wala pang naririnig na sagot mula sa kaniya.
"Huh?" Ang tanging sagot niya, habang si Cai naman ay nagpipigil ng tawa.
"Hoy, ulan! Sino ba iyon?" Tawang-tawa si Cai.
"Hindi ko nga kilala eh, bigla-bigla nalang sumulpot sa aking likuran. Tsk. Ganito ba mga tao dito?"
"Reyn! Kinausap ka ba ni Sam?" Hinahabol pa ni Gem ang kaniyang hininga, at may dala pa itong mga flashcards.
"Sam? Who's that?"
"Yung lalaki sa likuran mo kanina. Isa siya sa mga possible candidates ng Fictum." pagpapaliwanag ni Gem habang ina-ayos ang kaniyang damit.
"Ganon ba? Eh, ano aman kinalaman ko sa kaniya?"
"OMG!" Hiyaw ni Cai na kanina pang tahimik dahil malalim sa iniisip.
"Don't tell me?!..." Lumulobo ang mga mata nito habang nakatingin kay Reyn.
"Type ka ata non, Ulan!"
Reyn rolled her eyes and scoffed, habang si Gem naman ay napaisip.
"Ulan?"
"Yes. Ulan as in Rain. And Reyn as in Ulan. Gets?" Pag papaliwanag ni Cai at napangiti naman si Gem. Reyn rolled her eyes. This was another one of Cai's childishness.
"Anyways, eto pala." May binigay si Gem na flashcard sa kanila at mayroong nakalagay roon na drawing.
"That card will indicate your course. Kung archery ba or individual combat."
Reyn and Gem got the Bow and arrow figure, and Cai got a sword and a shield which technically indicates individual combat.
"Archery! Yes!" Hiyaw ni Gem.
"Me too, hays." Reyn sighed; her shoulders slumped to the ground, she's clearly not happy.
"Individual combat ang sa'kin." Cai smirked and waved her card in front of Reyn's face. She's definitely messing with her.
"Swap with me!!" Sigaw nito at kinuha ang puwersahang kinuha ang card ni Cai.
"Hey! Give it back! That's mine!"
"But, I don't want to!" Reyn shouted.
Once again, they caught the attention of the people in the arena. Both of them are acting childish again, and Gem just sighed, she's slowly getting used to this, which to her surprise is not that annoying.
"Both of you! Stop!"
Napatigil naman ang dalawa. Ngunit hawak-hawak parin ni Reyn ang card habang si Cai ay pinipilit itong bawiin. Gem felt mature when it comes to these two.
"Reyn, give it back." Gem said coldly, it was like scolding some toddlers.
"But!-"
"No buts, Reyn."
"And Cai, alam mo namang isip bata ito" Turo niya kay Reyn.
"Hey! I'm not!" Protesta ng walang iba kundi si Reyn. But Cai didn't pay attention.
