Valeria Academy

A Freaking Portal!

Well nakita ko lang 'to before from movies so I'm not entirely sure kung totoo ba 'to? Wait, dala ba ito dahil sa pag gising namin ng ganito kaaga? What if this is just all a hallucination?

Malapit na ata mag overheat ang utak ko dahil sa sobrang pag-iisip ng several possibilities kung ano ba talaga ang nakikita ko. I can see Benj from my peripheral view pinching his sides then hiss out from the pain.

hays what an idiot.

The door suddenly slammed close kaya nabalik kami sa ulirat and pulling us out from the distraction. Muling bumagsak ang paningin ko kay Miss Ginalyn who is standing beside the 3D map of our University.

"Now, all of you may be confused, pero no need to feel that way. This will answer all the questions inside your heads kung bakit nga ba kayo nakapasok sa ganito kalaking unibersidad without paying a cent."

"Uhmm for the record, my mom can definitely afford the tuition fee." Mich sassily said pero it sounded squeaky dahil siguro sa kaba.

Miss gave her a pointed look causing for her to shut up and shrink back. She then motioned us na lumapit pero we were still reluctant to do so kasi baka kung ano gawin niya samin hehe, trust issues ko ay hanggang kisame na ata ng kwarto na 'to.

"You may be wondering kung ano yung glowing thingy na mukhang pinto, we'll talk about that later. We have more pressing matters to talk about, first have a seat." May pinindot siyang small button from the table behind her and chairs pop out of the floor, when on earth did we have a magician as a teacher?

Baka naman hindi magic, siguro super advance technologies lang?

Halos malaglag ang panga ko dun and I can tell na hindi lang ako ang ganun ang reaksyon. But Kris and Felix have a more different reactions, more like interested sila to figure out how this things work. Pero anyways, naupo nga kami and solid yung upuan meaning hindi 'to hallucination lang or what, this is definitely real.

"You are part of the Valeria's Infinity Class, one of the most gifted students at this school. All 7 of you have the affinity to do certain things magically. You may found this info absurd and you can all think that I'm out of my mind but I don't care, this is a fact and you can't do anything about it.

But no, hindi niyo kayang mag produce ng magic mismo from the tip of your hands, you can't breath fire, or shoot lasers through your eyes. But you can use magic nonetheless, with the help of a staff or a wand. Pero you will not be using wand, masiyadong obvious sa mata at it's note safe, proven and tested na." Habang nagsasalita si ma'am naisip ko kung joke time ba ito or ano kaya iniuli ko ang mata ko to look for hidden cams.

Joke time ba 'to? Prank ba ito to check kung gaano kadali utuin ang mga students perhaps? Pero parang ang seryoso kasi ni Miss.

"Is she still sane?" Lorenzo ask me who is behind me pala, I just shrugged my shoulders dahil ngayon ay tinatanong ko na din sa sarili ko yun.

"Are we like descendants of Harry Potter?" tanong ko, malay mo naman kanunununuan ko pala siya. Umikot ang mata ni miss sa tanong ko, so I guess that is a no?

"Harry Potter is nothing but a fiction, pero naging basehan tayo para masulat ang book na yun. Rowling has been keeping an eye to our kinds way back his time, he know things and from that ay nasulat niya ang librong Harry Potter. Pero mostly laman ng libro niya ay fictitious and wala nang kinalaman satin." I was quite satisfied sa answer ni ma'am, pero napaisip ulit ako, how did they figured out na we have the affinity to do certain things?

"How did you know na we are actually gifted?" I was silently grateful to Mary dahil sa tanong niya na yun, I was just about to raise my hands again eh.

A smile appeared on Miss Gina's face, dunno if I should be mesmerized kasi to be honest magandang professor si Miss, or to be scared kasi mostly she's always frowning or naka RBF siya.

"During the examinations, students are all closely monitored. We used advanced technologies to search for certain frequencies inside a students mind and body. A core can be detected sa loob ninyo, and the bigger or stronger the core is the easier for it to be detected.

The core is what holds your affinities, it's like the storage of your gifts. You can also refer to it as a mana or magic. Is there anything else you're curious about?" tumaas na naman ang kilay nito sa amin, she really looks intimidating.

"Why did we have to wake up at this time exactly Miss?" Kris asked, ni hindi na niya nakuhang itago ang pagkadismaya sa mukha niya.

Couldn't blame her actually, wanted to asked that too. Hindi ba pwede mga bandang 5:30 naman ganun? Why naman super early, ganitong time ay nananaginip pa sana ako at nag iinikot sa kama ko.

"Because ganitong oras pinaka-malakas ang connection ng door na 'to from the other world." she motioned for the portal at dun na napunta ang atensyon ng lahat.

"This is a portal, and during around this time super stable ang connection niya from the other side. Mas mababa ang possibility na maligaw ang mga tatawid na students, lalo na kayo na bago pa lamang at wala pa masiyadong grasp sa concept kung pano gumagana ang portal na yan." Lumapit si Miss Ginalyn sa portal and tumingin siya sa amin, as if silently commanding us na sumunod aa kanya.

Nauna na akong tumayo, ngayong alam ko nang may possibility na connected ako kay Harry Potter ay may sudden braveness na bumabalot sa pagkatao ko. I knew it, I could have been a Gryffindor kung totoo ang Hogwarts.

"Now ay tatawid na tayo sa kabilang side, you will see what Valeria Academy really looks like" she was grinning at us, pero I can see a glint of another emotion sa mga mata niya but I'm not sure kung ano yun.

Valeria? Hindi ba ito na yun?

"Go on, pumasok na kayo sa portal."

We were all hesitating kung papasok ba o hindi, kasi to be honest malaki ang possibility na ma-disfigure ang katawan ko dyan. What if paglabas ko kulang na ako ng isang paa o yung kamay ko napunta na sa ibang parte ng katawan ko!?

No way na mauuna ako!
