A/N: It's been so long since I updated this story of mine that I have to back read some chapters to remember the names of my other characters. While reading them, I realized how I love this story. I cannot believe that I stopped updating it. So, to you guys na naghihintay pa rin ng update nito, I assure you that I will update one chapter per week.

Inside Hell
MEZUL

IF I PLAN to save prinsipe Ul, the first thing I should do is to open the Gate of Hell.

I do not have the knowledge. Let alone the power. It pains me to say this but that's the truth. At least for now.

Prinsipe Ul was able to summon the Gate of hell without breaking a sweat. That is something to expect from the stronger hell-keeper who lives in a tough place for a long time. Compared to him, I am literally nothing. I never once opened the gate in the past. The only reason why I knew that I am the chosen she hell-keeper is because of this scar in my face.

At dahil alam ko sa sarili ko na mahina pa rin ako hanggang ngayon... kailangan kong manghingi ng tulong. Normally, I would seek help to Sir Del, but the headmaster is missing and there's nothing I can do about it.

Labag man sa loob ko ngunit ang unang nilalang na pumasok sa isip ko na makakatulong sa akin ay walang iba kundi ang dating mga Hell Keepers. Sila ang mas nakakaalam sa paggamit ng delikadong kapangyarihan na tinataglay ko.

Once again, I have to swallow my pride.

Bumuntong-hininga ako.

I found the former Hell-Keeper inside the Faculty of Magistry. I was told that the best time to approach them would be lunch. I don't mean to ruin their appetite. I only wanna talk to at least one of them.

Habang nilalakad ang daan patungo sa tamang kwarto ay hindi ko mapigilang maasiwa sa mga estudyanteng nakakasalubong ko sa paligid. Again, that feeling that I am being judge is there. I hate it. Akala ko nasanay na ako pero iba pa din talaga ang pakiramdam na mapukaw ang atensyon ng iba.

Binilisan ko na ang paglakad patungo sa aking destinasyon. All I can do is ignnore. Matapos ang dalawang minuto, natagpuan ko ang sarili na nakatayo sa harap ng isang malaking pintuan. I checked the label of the door to make sure that I am on the right place.

Faculty of Magistry.

I let out another sigh and then knock on the door. Kusa itong bumukas. It's lunch time and I am not in my student uniform, so I caught everyone's attention---yes! Again. And when I said everyone, what I meant is all the educator inside the faculty of magistry. Isa na roon ay si Eurlious, the former hell-keeper who serves as a temporary instructor for defense. Kagaya ni prinsipe Ul ay nag-uumapaw sa kagwapuhan ito. He might be a century older than me pero parang halos matanda lang ito sa akin ng mga apat... limang taon?

The former he'll-keeper is busy tidying his table, preparing to leave for lunch. I looked around to find his significant other. She's nowhere in sight. Bigla ay nakahinga ako ng maluwag. I figured that it will be easier if I am gonna be talking to Eurlious. He looks nicer and... considerate.

I will have a chance if I approach him first. Though I am not sure if it's gonna be easy.

So, when our eyes met, I automatically smiled at him. Ayokong mapansin ng iba na may bumabagabag sa akin so the first thing I should do is to act like I am a student in need of help for me not to get suspisious.
