Chapter 4:
Kimia

"Yay!!!!"

G

iarra's squeals filled the room nang malaman niyang magkasama kami sa dorm. Tapos ako, nakatangla lang sa dalawang lalaking nakaupo sa sofa namin. One is Gavi while the other one is not familiar to me.

"Dito rin kayo?" I asked and they both nodded which kinda disappointed me.

Bakit magkasama ang dalawang babae at dalawang lalaki sa isang bahay? 

Though dalawang malaking kwarto naman ang meron so it's safe to say na kami ni Giarra ag magkasama. There are two bathrooms, isa sa masters at isa naman ay common bathroom. There's also a kitchen na karugtong ng dining at living area. There's no tv unlike the mortal realm. At halos lahat ng gamit ay gawa sa kahoy. 

"Amin ang masters," seryosong ani ko while Giarra is roaming around. 

Hindi raw kasi sila dito nanatili at ngayon pa lang talaga sila nakalipat dahil ngayon lang nakumpleto ang tatao sa bahay na 'to.

Tinanguan lang ulit nila ako. 

I frowned. Naiinis na ako.

"Pipi ba kayo?" They shook their heads. "Then say something!" 

I rolled my eyes saka nagpunta sa kusina. There's a large rectangular wood there na may pinto and I guessing na refrigerator ang katumbas non sa mga tao. The insides are very cold dahil isa iyong spiritual thing na may sariling spiritual energy. Pwede nga naming i-consume yon eh, pero the school locked its energy kaya di rin naman yon magagawa.

Tiningnan ni Gavi ang katabi niya bago tamayo at lumakad papunta sa'kin.  

I drank some water while he started talking.

"Okay na kami sa isa pang kwarto, " tinanguan ko siya. "Kami na lang din ang gagamit ng common bathroom."

Dinig ko ang pagpasok ni Giarra sa kwarto namin so I got distracted for a bit.

"Sorry, ano?" I asked dahil di ko narinig ang sinabi niya.

"I said, we can divide the chores bukas o sa isang araw," ulit niya. " For today, let's just take some rest."

Umalis siya sa harap ko saka pumasok sa kwarto nila. Sumunod sa kaniya yung isa pang lalaki na tipid akong nginitian bago makapasok. Their things followed them kaya ini-lock ko na lang din ang pinto saka pumasok sa kwarto namin ni Giarra.

Nagulat pa ako nang makita siyang nakahiga na sa, I guess kama na niya. Her arms are spread widely pati na rin ang mga legs niya. 

Drained siguro energy nito.

I focused my eyes on the blanket na nasa uluhan niya. The longer I focus the more blurry everything around it gets. I then snapped my fingers and theere, blanket moved on its own para makumutan siya. 

That's one basic trick na itinuro sa amin kanina. Nga lang, hindi ko pa makontrol ang energy ko kaya medyo nahilo ako. It didn't stop kaya hinayaan ko na lang ang sarili ko na humiga at mamahinga na.

Kinabukasan ay maaga akong nagising kaya mag-isa akong nagtungo sa library ng academy. Wala pang ibang estudyante pero buti na lang ay maaha iyong binuksan.

I went to the Book of Knowledge which contains information about the five realms. I already know things in the mortal realm kaya nilampasan ko na iyon. 

"Kimia is an ability the needs spiritual energy to be performed," I nodded as I read that part. "There are three types of Kimia…"

The first one is called Aegis. Immortals that possess those uses fighting machines and weapons like guns, sword, and others. Their fighting skills is elevated because of the activation of the Kimia that reacts with the weapons that chooses them or made by them.

"Then they're weak if they fail to summon their weapons," I murmured. "Besides, summoning one also needs energy. Kapag drained sila, siguradong talo rin sila."

The second one is Flair. Those who have this only uses their energy for their respective enchannting abilities that involves the elements of the world. They don't need weapons to fight since they use the power of the world.

"Magical powers."

Ibinaba ko saglit ang libro. 

"If these abilities were given by the ancient god, bakit hindi fair?" 

The last type of Kimia is Fond. It's the ability of immortals to both machines, elements, and summon the divine beast that chooses them. 

"See, unfair nga."

This type of Kimia is rare and can only be possessed by true gods or immortals that has a godly bloodline or is their direct descendant. 

Only 99 Alchemist of the Imperial Academy were reported to have this ability ever since it was built.

It is said that Fond is a gift to the world from Medea, the Goddess of Chaos after she came of agea dn mastered her power. 

My brows furrowed. "Medea?" 

That name somehow sounds familiar. San ko ba narinig yon?

After a moment of thinking, I just shrugged it off and continued reading. 

A prophecy from the Goddess of Future, Kyro stated that the hundredth Alchemist to have the Fond Kimia holds a very significant role in the realms' future.

I closed the book after reading that passage. Somehow, I got curious on the hundredth Alchemist. 

The Book of Knowledge continuously gets updated so that means na hindi pa nairerecord, wala pa or hindi pa naipapanganak ang posibleng ika-100 na Alchemist na mayroon nito.

How great would having Fond as your Kimia be?

A part of me wishes that that person could've been me. Dahil kung ako 'yon, mas mapapadali ang paghahanap ko ng kasagutan sa kung bakit namatay ang Papa ko. Habang tumatagal kasi ay mas naiinip ako. Mas humahaba ang panahon na laya ang mga taong dahilan ng pagkamatay ni Papa.

I could probably use it also para bumalik ang mga ala-ala ko. If my merories return, answers to my questions would also come to the surface.

But that would be too impossible for me. Having that kind of power means that an immense energy should also be within me. Hindi ko nga makontrol ang sarili kong energy, pa'no pa kaya ang Kimia na iyon. Besides, hindi ko pa rin naman alam kung ano ang kakayahang meron ako.

"Pa'no kaya malalaman ang Kimia namin?"
