Bright Future Academy

Shazia's Point of View

Naghikab muna ako bago lumabas sa sinasakyan kong barko.

Sa gitna ay nakita ko ang napakalaking isla, yelo ang tubig na nakapalibot dito kaya walang hadlang akong nakapaglakad papasok sa malaking building na nasa isla.

Sinundan ko lang ang mga tao kung saan sila papunta.

Pagkarating sa destinasyon ko ay umupo ako sa upuan dito sa malaking field na tinatawag nilang Grand Stand. Kaniya-kaniyang chismisan ang mga estudyante ng biglang kumulog ng malakas.

Nagtipon-tipon ang maiitim na ulap sa gitna lamang ng grandstand. Kumidlat ng malakas at tumama ito sa gitna. Pagkatigin ko sa ibaba, nakita ko ang isang lalaki na may mahabang buhok na inaayos ang cloak na suot niya.

Kamukha niya si Dumbledore.

Pagkatapos ayusin ang cloak, may lumitaw na microphone sa kamay niya at humarap siya sa amin ng may malawak na ngiti sa mukha.

"Good morning, students. I am Copernicus, the principal of Bright Future Academy. Nice meeting the all of you." Bati niya.

"I know that you already know why you are here, so I will just introduce you the academy as well as the rules and regulations inside it." Bigkas niya at may lumitaw na nakarolyong papel sa kamay niya. Hinawakan niya ito at kusa namang lumutang ang microphone sa tapat ng kaniyang bibig ng ginawa niya ito.

Tumikhim siya. "First, there are five guilds in the academy. They are the Dementors, the Shifters, the Mages, the Assassins, and the Aces. There are three stages inside the guild, the Beginners, the Journeyman, and the Masters." Tumigil siya upang huminga ng malalim kaya natawa ako.

"The Beginners, well I know that you already know what that means so I will proceed to the Journeymans. The Journeymans is the second level inside the guild, this is where you are already allowed to have missions, and when you succeeded that mission, you can earn money." Sandali siyang napahinto ng mag ingayan ang mga estudyante nang marinig ang salitang money. Mga mukhang pera.

Tumahimik sila ng muling kumulog.

"In this academy, you will also work for your living. We will provide you your shelter, in exchange, you will do the missions without any remarks." Sheesh malupet.

"Let's proceed to the Masters. This is the stage where you will be able to join the wars or any serious battles, and you will also be able to get an S Mission. There are two types of missions here, the A and S, A is a common mission, while S is the dangerous one, you can earn bigger amount in S missions."

"To reach next stages, you have to train and train. Monthly, a level test will take place for you to know which stage are you already and to know which guild you belong. Levels 1-30 are considered as beginners, 30-60 are journeymans, and above are masters." Naglaho ang papel sa kamay niya at may lumitaw na panibago.

"Now, let us proceed to the rules and regulations. You are not allowed to go outside unless permitted. You can only get outside if it is a mission related or you are permitted. Creating a fight inside the Academy is prohibited. You can create a fight between your fellow students outside, but not inside the academy. You are not allowed to get inside another guild unless permitted. Every guild have a house and there is one or more masters that rules the whole guild, they are the one who will permit you to get inside."

"You will have your official classes once you have already joined a guild. But, even though you don't have official classes, you still have a schedule that you'll follow for your training. You have different coaches for each training."
