Demonice

I'm currently standing in front of Hellian University. Kung titignan ito ay masyadong malaki ang gate na ito kumpara sa ibang mga Universities and Academies. Nagpapakita lang sa katotohanang hindi ito pangkaraniwan. Kung pag babasihan ang dhilan nila na para ito sa siguridad ng mga mag-aaral, masyadong lumang dahilan na ito. Kesyo protection ito ng mga studyante...

'Tsk!' If only they know... There's a hidden dungeon behind this wall and gate. Lugar na kahit sino ay di aakalaing nag e-exist pala. Tanging sa mga pilikula lang ito napapanood, but there's really a school na nag e-exist sa totoong buhay. Hellian University is one of those...

Saglit ko munang ilinibot ang tingin sa paligid saka ko hinila ang aking dalang traveling bag. This school is a boarding school. One of the rules when you entered in this University ay ang hindi ka pweding lumabas ng campus hanggang sa hindi natatapos ang buong school year. Walang kaso ito sa akin. In the first place, wala rin naman akong uuwiang pamilya.

Before intering, I scan my I.D to the machine. It is for identity confirmation. After thatvay saka lang kusang bumukas ang gate. Here I am now. I don't know what is waiting for me. But there's only one thing that I assured. Dito mag u-umpisa ang lahat...

I saw a bunch of student scattered everywhere. May nag-iisa rin pero karamihan ay grupo-grupo. May mga nerds, mga GGSS at kung ano-ano pa. I didn't show any emotion in my face. While walking, I can feel their eyes staring at me. I don't care about them. They are not my reason why I entered in this University in the first place.

I hide my aura very well, so that it won't attract any attention. Ilang minuto din akong nag lakad bago ko marating ang head masters office.

I knocked 3 times bago may narinig akong nag salita sa loob.

"Come in.."

Pag ka bukas ko ng pinto ay sumalubong sa'kin ang mga nagliliparang hurricane patungo sa direction ko. This scene doesn't surprise me anymore. Tinatamad kong sinalo sa pagitan ng aking mga daliri ang mga ito at ihinagis pabalik sa pinanggalingan nito.

I remain silent and collected without any trace of emotion. Like a hallow, I'm moving, continue living but like a dead. I am cold sometimes, but all of the time I look like a walking human robot or cyborg. That's the reason why everyone who know me call me the human hallow who can't feel anything. A living creature without any feelings.

"You're the new student. I see..."

I scan the whole room. Then there I saw a screen connected to all CCTV camera scattered inside and outside the whole campus ground.

"Don't state the obvious head master. Do I need to confirm it? You already know. So, what is the point of asking?" Walang imosyon kung ika.

I saw a bit of shock and amusement in his eyes while looking at me. Then he laugh..

"So, my stinc is right. You're not an ordinary."

"Do I look like an alien or a ghost?" Naiinip na ako.

Nawala ang ngiti sa labi ng head master. Napalitan ito ng seryosong aura. "What I mean is your not a normal student."

"This university is not normal. Do you expect a normal student to enter here." Baliwala kong sabi.

Kung hindi ba naman ing-ing ng head master na to. This university is for all the son and daughters of elite family that belong to different organization like mafia, yakuza, assassins, gangsters, cindicate and many other secret organization na hindi saklaw ng gobyerno.

Hindi na miling nag salita pa ang head master. Sa halip ay kinuha nito ang isang black box na kasing laki ng box ng sapatos. Kinuha niya ang isang susi mula duon.

"Here's your key, welcome to the grave dungeon." Naka ngiti at nakaka lokong wika niya.

As if I'm scared. Kung ordinaryo lang ako ay baka nanginig na ako sa takot dahil sa klase ng tono at aura niya. But I'm not that kind.

I take the key from his hand without caring of what he said. Then I leave his office without any word. That's me, I hate the word goodbye. Kasi ipinapaalala nito ang bangungot ng nakaraan. Hindi ko man yun narinig mula sa ka nila... Pero ang pag ka wala nila na walang pasabi... Never mind.

Nag ikot-ikot muna ako ng ilang sandali bago ako pumasok sa cafeteria. I order my foods at naupo sa may bandang sulok na table and chairs. Maraming naka tingin sa akin, pero wala ni isa ang nag tangkang lapitan ako. Naging tahimik din ang lahat. Maybe because I'm a new face kaya ganon or because I look like an empty human vessel. A human hallow.

After eating, dumiretso ako sa dormitory building kung saan nakatira ang bawat mag-aaral ng Hellian University. Nahahati ito sa dalawang building. Tower 1 for girls and Tower 2 for boys. May isa pang building sa pagitan ng dalawang building which is seems special. Hindi ko na lang ito pinag tounan ng pansin.

As of now ay hindi ko pa alam ang patakaran ng University maliban sa mga na research ko. I did not hack their system for private information. I want to know it by myself. Kasi kung malalaman ko ito ng walang kahirap-hirap ay wala ng trill. Ayaw kung maging boring ang buhay ko dito.

I didn't read yet the university manual na binigay sa'kin. Maybe later I will read it. For now, I need rest to gain strength for tomorrow. I can feel a good vibes for me this coming days and I'm excited for it.

It seems that being like a walking hallow is not bad at all. Kasi walang nag tatangkang lumapit sa akin. Which is great.
