Magian Academia: the Sorceress of the Stars

Chapter 47: Starlight

Sienna Astra's Point Of View

"Mistress, as what I'm seeing right now, you've become stronger." Kira said, as she began unlocking her necklace. Lumutang sa harap ko ang mga susi habang umiilaw. Kumuha ako ng dalawang susi at ngumisi ng nakakaloko.

"Sienna, just what the heck do you think you're doing?" Cress screamed in the middle of her attacks. She wasn't looking at me. Her eyes were mildly glowing. It's not as bright as lasers, atleast not yet. 

"Fighting?" namimilosopo kong sagot.

"But—"

"Trust her, Cress." Oberon said, not letting her finish the 'but' sentiment her partner was about to make. I smiled, rather grinned, at her as a reassurance. 

Cressida looked at me one more time then sighed. "Alright, fine. If something happens to you, Zero will kill me." She finally agreed, though I didn't hear the last part. I shrugged it off and started chanting.

"Astraea, grant me thy power." nilagay ko sa kanang kamay ko ang dalawang susi. Isa'y nasa pagitan ng palasingsingan at middle finger ko. Isa naman ay nasa pagitan ng middle finger at index finger ko. Both keys were glowing. Multiple summoning using the sacred keys is a spell that even the past key holders weren't able to do. It was forbidden. But, I, myself, knew that the goddess lent me the power and permission to do it. I could feel it. It's augmenting inside me.

"I call upon thee. Come, two gates of the stars." I continued chanting. Our opponents started backing up. Surprised reaction were written on their faces. Some showed fear for a second, and when they finally got their composure back, they tried to change their facial expression. 

"A star sorceress..."

"Is that her?"

"A student of Dream Academy?"

"Why is she in the mortal's world?"

"Get a hold of yourselves, they're just a bunch of students. They're still learning."

"Tama ka! We're more experienced."

"Hunter of the Night Sky," lumabas ang isang lalaking may silver bow and arrows at may suot na asul na damit, "Orion."

"Here, princess." he said and bowed to me. I smiled at him as a return. Another whirlpool formed beside my right hand.

"Gate of Kronos," muli kong tugon, "Tempus."

I suddenly felt a heat inside my chest. It felt strange at first, but I didn't feel exhausted at all. I could still feel a lot of ethernanos inside my body. It was either because of my surroundings or my body gotten stronger. I feel so alive. 

Napangisi akong muli. My clothes changed into a battle gear. My hair gathered in a neat but wavy ponytail. A thin purple ombre cape appeared on my back, covering my bare skin. My combat boots turned into a pair of black boots, fit for fighting. Nagkaroon din ng sleeves from my mid-shoulder down to my wrist. A purple tattoo-like pattern on my hands glowed. Lumabas ang isang asul na crystal ball.
