Magnus Academy: The Cursed Blood

Chapter Twenty

The Third Round Starts

"Miss Willar." May tumawag sa akin kaya napatingin ako sa kaniya. He was wearing a white cloak at may isang dosena siyang kasama who wore the same. Except that his cap is red.

"My name is Henry, the Captain of this unit. Pinapunta kami dito ni Sir Thane to assist you." Ah sila na pala yung knights. Pero Sir Thane talaga ha.

"I still need to find one more person. So I need you to protect them at all cost." Sabi ko habang napatingin siya sa batang bitbit ko at sa kasama ko. He nodded in agreement. "Some members of the Black Clan might be around. Cody will tell you more details." Kinuha ni Henry ang batang bitbit ko.

"Sasama ako. I'm worried sick for my sister." Sabi ng babae. I shook my head.

"Currently your safety is my misison." I looked back at Henry again. "I expect them to be all well when I see them again. Mauuna kayo pabalik sa Reil." They have to be safe. Limang oras din ang byahe. I feel bad for the knights travelling back again. Pero trabaho nila yan.

Lumakad na ako paalis following my theory kung saan ang eldest sister sa tatlong magkakapatid. I remembered na sinabi ng babae kanina na ililigtas niya daw ang ama niya, that would mean hindi pa siya nakakalayo. May plano siyang pumunta sa Reil. And lucky for me I know the quickest way back to Reil that only takes three hours. Ispin niyo nalang that intead of going all around to reach a goal, kailangan mo nalang dumaan sa gitna.

I checked the time, quarter to seven na. Hindi ko na napapansin ang oras dahil sa mga nangyayari. The quickest way is inside the forest. Again. Pero ang hirap dumaan dito. Gabi pa naman. If only the eldest sister could stay put sa bahay nila. What if no one was there earlier? Then they would have had been in a big trouble.

Napatigil ako sa takbo dahil humihingal ako. I'm not an athletic person, so don't expect me to have more stamina. I looked around. Ang layo na ng tinakbo ko, where in the world is that girl? Napahwak ako sa puno nang biglang yumanig ang lupa. Naisip ko si Andrea, pero wala naman siya dito. So isa lang ang ibig sabihin nun.

Not a distant from where I was, kitang kita ko kung paano natumba ang mga malalaking punongkahoy that I guessed was caused by the sudden earthquake just now. Sinundan ko ito at tamang tama, I think I just saw who I was looking for. But she's facing off a man in a black cloak.

Nakita ko siyang inapakan ang lupa sa unahan niya at may bigla nalang lumakas ang pagyanig. Her ability is to control earth. I saw the man lost his balance at muntik nang matumba. Bakit hindi siya umaatake? Pilit niya lang iniilagan ang mga sipa at suntok ng kalaban niya but he is not attacking. Instead, he's trying to grab her or something. Tapos may naalala ako.

"Hinawakan niya ako bago niya ako kinontrol." Naalala ko ang sabi ni Cody.

Siya nga ang controller. He can control people upon touching them. Wala pa akong alam kung hanggang kailan but it seems powerful. I jumped in sa gitna nilang dalawa and kicked the man away. Napa atras siya ng malayo. He smirked at me before he disappeared.

Hindi na ako nagulat nung tinutukan ako ng weapon ng babeng lance. I looked at her at napa buntong hininga.

"I just saved your life."

"Bakit naman ako ililigtas ng isang Grim Reaper?" So kung sa iba multo ako sa kaniya Grim Reaper ako. Nakakatawa. Really guys nakakatawa.

"Hindi mo kakayanin even if you go all out. Your father will be fine. Nililigtas na siya ng kasama ko. And your job is supposed to watch over your sibblings." Her eyes widened.

"What did you do to my sisters?!" Her lance made a contact with my palm na ginamit ko pang sangga sa atake niyang sasakin ako.  Ang hapdi hadpu talaga ng kamay ko. Dagdagan panng sakit sa braso ko. Ako na nga tong naglilihtas sa kanila eh sila pa ang may balak saktan ako. Hays.
