HIDDEN : Amestris High - On going

Chapter 7

Asty's POV

"Puntahan kita dito ah after class, basta wag kang lalabas hangga't wala ako to avoid others na hamunin kang ilabas ang enchant mo." Erina said while we are outside my classroom. Napag-usapan namin kagabi na hangga't hindi pa kami sure na fire enchantress nga talaga ako based on our hunched, it's better to tell everyone that I'm a support enchanter only. Mas safe yun kasi if I tell them the other one, baka daw utusan nila akong lumabas kasi nga we can't use any of it inside of our classrooms at ipakita ang enchant ko sa kanila which is hindi naman nangyayari sa mga support enchanter.

Saka na daw sabihin kapag sure which is tama naman. Ayoko rin namang pangunahan ang katawan ko kasi baka mali lang kami ng hula at totoong support lang talaga ako. Maraming possibilities at kailangan kong isipin ng mabuti lahat ng sasabihin at ikikilos ko sa loob.

"Yeah, thank so much talaga Erina. Have fun." tanging nasabi ko then I waved my hand before I enter the class. I'm wearing a hoodie to hide my burnt mark dahil sa tagpo namin ni Yrus sa cafeteria last time.

When I got inside, all the attentions comes to me at para akong pinapatay ng mga titig na yun. I think it's kinda normal since I'm a new face here but then when I looked to those four esecially Yrus, he's glaring at me so bad.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so excited, you're our classmate pala. Just sit here Asty! Bakante pa dito oh! " I heard Selene's voice. I guess they can't talk using their minds kasi hindi nga pala pwedeng gamitin ang kahit anong enchant dito sa loob.Sa halip na gawin yung narinig ko ay ginawa ko ang kabaligtaran mg sinabi niya. Umupo ako sa lugar kung saan pinakamalayo sa kanila at hindi na muli sinalubong ang matatalim na titig ni Yrus.

Basta. Rude na kung rude.

Umiiwas lang ako sa gulo.

A few minutes had passed, isang matandang babae ang pumasok sa loob dala-dala ang isang librong kagaya ng librong ipinahiram ni Erina sa'kin kagabi. She said, isa lang yun sa mga bigay sa kanya ng namayapang historian that she treasures the most before he died.

"Oh hi everyone!" she greeted, pansin kong pinasadahan niya ng tingin lahat ng tao sa loob and when our gazes met, she stopped for a while and smiled at me so wide. Nagsilingunan din ang karamihan amd they all looked at me expecting something from me.

"I guess you're the new one?" she asked kaya mabilis akong tumango.

"Can you introduce yourself?" she asked me again, wala naman akong nagawa kundi ang tumayo at magpakilala. We are like high school students doing this kind of stuff but I can't also refused this one since I'm new here. Tama lang na magpakilala ako kasi hindi nila ako kilala.

"I'm Asty Caelano." I paused, nasalubong ko na naman ang malalamig na titig ni Yrus kasabay ng pagbaba ng tingin ko sa braso niyang nakapatong sa arm chair. I saw his burnt mark na kagayang-kagaya ng sa'kin. Maiintriga naman sila kapag nalaman nilang I have the same ones if ever na hindi pala ako nagsuot ng hoodie today."A support enchanter." I added then tahimik na akong umupo. I didn't bother to tell anyone about my personal details kasi hindi ko naman na sila magagamit dito.

"Alright. Thank you Asty, it's a new school year everyone. You're batch really sets as the strongest one in the history kaya excited na akong turuan pa kayo. Amestris is really lucky to have you Aminx Batch." she started, ngumiti siya sa lahat habang ako ay seryoso lang na nakikinig. Given na batch na ito ang pinakamalakas kasi nandito yung apat which is the present representatives of elemental enchanters distibutees of Amestris Diamond Crusifix.

"Okay, drama aside, this year, since you guys already know your enchants and you already know how to use it. We'll now going to apply it in our daily lives." she paused. Napamura na lang ako sa sarili ko kasi mukhang ako na lang yung may hindi alam, paano ko naman malalaman kung paano gamitin ang enchant ko eh hindi ko naman alam kung meron ako. Tsaka bakit ba sa senior batch nila ako inilagay eh dapat sa freshman lang kasi bagong salta lang ako dito at walang alam.
