Blue stone Academy: The Cursed Child

Kabanata 27

Shiro

Bumungad sa amin ang bangkay ng isang lalaki sa harapan mismo ng gate ng paaralan. Mahaba ang kaniyang buhok at wari ko'y mas matangkad pa kay Nero. Maputla na rin siya at may malamig na ang katawan na tila mahigit ilang oras na ito magmula ng bawian ng buhay.

At ang isa pang nakakagulat ay ang naka sulat sa gilid niya gamit ang dugo. Miss oblivious. Habang ang daliri na pinangsulat niya ay nakadikit pa rin sa ibabang dulo ng ‘s' marahil ay dito na siya nawalan ng buhay.

Dahil ang 1st batch ay bus namin ay kami ang unang nakakita ng bangkay. Napabaling ako kay Seb ng bigla siyang humakbang paatras at bahagyang napahawak sa balikat ni Nero. Nero didn’t mind it, though. Siguro ay nagulat siya sa nakita niya ngayon. Unlike before, when he saw a man being poisoned, now he actually saw a man soaked in his own blood and lying on the ground. I understand his reaction.

Prof. Wyatt immediately commanded one of the students in the bus and called the principal and other teachers who were already inside the school.

Inilibot ko ang aking paningin upang hanapin ang mga kasama ko at nakita ko sila na malapit sa bangkay. Other students are not allowed to go near the body except the SSG member, and except Leora.

The voices in my head are debating whether I should approach them or stay where I am.

“Shiro,” nagulat ako ng tawagin ako ni Prof. Wyatt at pinalapit sa kanila.

Agad akong tumango at lumapit sa kanila. Mas lalo kong nakita ang itsura ng lalaki. I could clearly see the weapon that the murderer used to kill him, but something was not right.

“Yes, Prof?”

"Do you perhaps know this man?" tanong niya sa akin na ikinataka ko. I shook my head in an answer. "You see, this man has no record here and we thought he was from outside and got lost—you really don’t know him?" he asked again.

And just like my first answer, I shook my head once again. Even if I knew him, why would he come to this place? And I don’t have any friends in the city. " Napabaling ako kay Leora. "How about you, Leora? Except from me, you are also from the city. "

She shrugged her shoulder and said, "I don’t have gay friends, though I want to have one." 

“Gay?” tanong ni Nero.

“What? His hair is long, I thought he wants to be a girl!”

Napa-irap sa kaniya si Uno. "Steriotype. " Bulong nito.

"Whatever, but I really don’t know him."

"How about the name he wrote before he died? May kilala ba kayong Miss Oblivious? "

Sabay-sabay kaming umiling.

“It seems like a pen name.” I said. Napabaling sila sa akin.

"Pen name? Like an author hiding their names and identity? " Ani Laora.

"Yup, I once read a good book and the author's name is Mr. Kanan, and the other one is MsWithFlaws. It is similar to Miss Oblivious, right?"

They all agreed with what I said, but we set that aside as a plan B.

"If ever that Miss Oblivious is the culprit, then what is her motive to kill this guy? At babae ba talaga si Miss Oblivious? " Liam asked.

Leora immediately speak, “Dahil may mga abilidad ang tao dito, whether Miss Oblivious is a man or a woman, it does not matter. Every one could kill.”  Mahabang lintaya niya.

Naupo ako malapit sa bangkay at pinagmasdan ang itsura ng nito. The first thing I saw was the big wound on his face where he was facing the ground. I see wounds but not bruises, and there are no signs that he struggled.
