"You have to spy in this institution."


He handed me a picture of a school, in black and white.


"Ano 'to, haunted school? Anong isspy ko dito? Mga multo?"


Rex smirked, "Diba sabi mo you want to prove yourself even more?" he said and I gulped. "Ito ang ipapagawa ko sayo para mapatunayan mong dedicated ka sa pinasok mo. Para mapatunayan mong para sayo ang trabaho na ito."


Tinignan ko ang picture. Mukha talaga syang luma, with the black and white filter tsaka grainy and blurry. "Ano bang klaseng school ito? Malalagpasan pa ata nito ang UST sa sobrang luma eh."


He circles me, "That is most probably older than UST."


Napatingin ako sa kanya, "What? Sure ka bang hindi haunted ito?"


"Not with ghosts, probably. Let's say, they are the ones who hunt." Inemphasize nya yung word na 'hunt' na parang nagbibigay sya ng clue.


But I still don't fuckin' get it.


"Pinaglololoko mo ba ako? Pinagmumukhang tanga? Mahal na mahal ko ang publication natin, alam mo yan. Pero hindi ako aabot sa extent na pagmumukhain kong tanga ang sarili ko! Rex, I'm 24 years old for pete's sake. Sa tingin mo, macoconvince ko ang mga tao dyan na isa akong high school student?" Inis na tanong ko.


"You don't have to worry about it because of three reasons... one, you don't look like you're ageing. You still look youthful than any other employees here. Fair skin, flawless... sublime." he smirked.


"Give it a break, Rex." I turned my back on him. Pero napatigil ako nang magsalita muli sya.


"...two, people in this institution never gets old."


Napalingon ako sa kanya, "What?"


"Lastly, you're not there to study." He stares intently into my eyes, "because they do not study, at all."


"I don't get you. If this is some kind of a prank, di mo ko madadala okay? Anong klase school ang---"


"Wolf Academy."


"W-Wolf... Academy?"


"Ako na ang bahala sa enrollment fees mo if meron. You have to pass the fear test there para makapasok. Kailangan mong galingan, kailangan malakas ang loob mo, for the sake of journalism, you have to conquer all your fears."


Na-realize ko na he's not lying. It confused me, of course. And I am now curious. Anong meron sa Wolf Academy na ito? And most importantly,


"How did you know all those?"


He took a step forward and said, "I was an enrollee of that school." I was taken aback from what he said. "Now, do as I say and believe me."


"Bakit ako?" I asked.


"Dahil ikaw ang di nila mahahalata sa lahat."


What does he mean...?
