CHAPTER 9

Do you know how it feels to be like a dumbbell? Yes, it is something we need to get stronger. In the gym, I would get the weight that fits my current physical training and just get on with my scheduled training

But, there's this 'dumbbell' humor which you will call one of your groupmates dumbbell kasi nga wala daw itong na i ambag at pabigat lang sa lipunan

"I'm telling you, her only responsibility in this group is to be a bait!"

"But that doesn't justify your actions! Burning her?! Really?"

"We talked about it earlier, she'll distract the prof and I just focus on my spell!"

Kating kati na akong busalan ang bibig ni Alocina, ang gandang babae pero pang basura ang asal

"We have healing spells, It doesn't matter. She'll get better anytime. Masyado lang syang mahina kaya hindi pa sya nagigising ngayon"

Fourier assured everyone with that, aagawin ko yang leadership mong bida bida ka. Ikaw sunugin ko ng buhay tapos healing spell healing lang din ang gagamitin

"Well... we did our best, the prof admit defeat. That is all that matters"

Kumulo ang dugo ko nang marinig ang kapatid kong sinabi yun "Tanginang dahilan yan, kaya di ka mahal ng magulang mo eh" I can't help but blurt out my most childish banter

Galit na galit ako ngayon and they're fueling every emotions that I got

Tinignan ko sila isa isa "Leave"

May lakas ako ng loob na sabihin yan dahil mukhang nasa clinic ako at hindi sa dorm namin

Hindi nagsalita si Alocina at umalis na rin agad, sinundan ni Fournier... ang kanyang tuta

Ang tinik na Rosa naman ay tumingin pa sakin na para bang naawa bago tuluyang umalis kasama ang unclassified na isa pang dumbbell

"Your anger will lead you nowhere"

Nag last comment pa ang aking magaling na kapatid bago umalis

I sigh... "honestly, you're the most dramatic team that I have met"

Napatingin ako sa nurse na nagsalita... isa pa itong pumapapel eh

Hindi ko sya pinansin at nagtalukbong na lamang "they're not even that skilled, if they are... dapat nahalata nilang gising ka kanina pa" tumawa pa ito ng mahinhin

Mapapel na nga, madaldal pa eh... Pinigilan ko ang sarili kong sagutin sya, wala na nga akong kakampi dito magadadagdag pa ba ako ng kaaway?

"You know... you won that challenge" dagdag nya "I know, if you win that... you can transfer from one group to another"

Sinong di alam yan? "Or create your own group"

Natigilan ako dun... I sigh, again

Gagawa nga ng bagong grupo, pano kung mabuo ko ay puro dumbbell din?

"You see, I know 6 people who is capable and want to change their team... unfortunately, no instructor is as kind as prof Rillanes to admit defeat"

This time, sinipa ko na ang dulo ng kumot ko para madama nyang naiinis na ako

Mahinhin syang natawa "So, I'm offering you this... You can be our leader. Use your winning token to create a group so that we can have freedom from our shitty team"

Inalis ko ang talukbong at tumingin sakanya "sorry to say this but... Alocina defeated prof Rillanes, not me"

She gasped and look at me, wide eye
