Etherion and The Seven Elements

CHAPTER 4

"An Old Book"

Φ ZAIANNA Φ

Hanggang ngayon, parang sobrang hirap paring tanggapin ang lahat. Yung malalaman mo ba naman na anak ka ng isang Diyos.Its unimaginable. Gods are perfect in nature and they possess extraordinary abilities. I dont think, we even have any godly characteristics. We're still humans anyway. Sabi nga ni Ms. Veronica, half-human and half-God.

The next day,sumama kaming lahat kay Ms. Veronica dahil sinabi niya na may ipapakita daw siya samin. We were walking down the hallway then after minutes of walking, huminto kami sa Academy coliseum at nabigla kaming lahat sa nakita namin.

T-There were lots of students here a-at anong ginagawa nila?

"What are they doing!? Bakit biglang naging training facility dito? H-Hindi ba dapat nag aaral sila?"
Gulat na tanong ni Flare. Maging ako ay hindi rin maka imik dahil hindi ko alam kung anong magiging reaksyon ko.

"Because, this is the real Etherion Academy right now. Its not an educating institution but a training facility. Students use lots of weapon at tinituruan sila ng Artificial and Brutal type of Magic para gamitin yon sa karahasan."
S

he answered.

"Pero bakit? Para saan ang lahat ng to!?"
I finally spoke.

"Meron ba tong kinalaman sa announcement ng headmistress kahapon? Yung Etherion Raiding Game Festival right? "
Zed retorted and Ms. Veronica just nodded.

"This is madness. Kung alam ko lang na ganito pala dito, sana hindi nalang ako pumunta! Parang gusto ko na tuloy mag transfer as soon as possible. I shouldn't be in this type of place anyway!"
Padabog na sambit ni Flare.

"No, its impossible."
Ms. Veronica replied.

"Ano pong ibig niyong sabihin? "
Aera asked, worried.

"If you all noticed,noong first day palang, walang mga first year students dito. Kayong anim lang ang mga bagong enrollees ng Etherion Academy. Kapag nakapag enroll na kayo rito, your name will automatically appear on the Ms. Vinea's list of students. At kapag sinubukan mong tumakas ng Academy, you will end up being killed or you'll just suddenly meet your death dahil gumagamit siya ng Dark Magic sa kung sino man ang magtatangkang umalis ng akademya. Parang naglagay siya ng sumpa sa area ng academy and whoever tries to break out, they would be killed immediately. Hawak niya tayong lahat sa leeg and we cant do nothing about it. There are still first year students here pero sila na yung mga repeaters. At ang Etherion Raiding Game Festival lang ang natatanging paraan para makalabas ka dito kaya sobrang pinaghahandaan siya ng lahat ng students. Kapag ikaw ang pinalad na manalo sa Festival, may pagkakataon ka o kayong makaalis ng akademya. All the students here are afraid to die kung kayat napipilitan silang sumali dito alang alang sa kaligtasan nila. Theyre all in despair."

"But, what about the teachers here!? Anong ginagawa nila? Hinahayaan lang nilang mangyari ang lahat ng to?"
I asked.

"Lets say, Ms. Vinea is an octopus. She is the brain at ang lahat ng faculty and staffs dito ay ang mga galamay niya . It is like as if they were all mind controlled. Hindi ko rin alam kung paano sila natuto ng Artificial magic which is not supposed to be taught pero Im sure, kagagawan lahat to ni Ms. Vinea. "

"So does that mean, na kasali rin kami sa raiding game? "
Tristan asked.

"Unfortunately, yes. Im really sorry if I all dragged you here pero ito lang talaga ang naisip kong paraan para mapigilan ang pagtakas ng mga demons at para narin pigilan ang pagsiklab ulit ng Armageddon. Pero, pinapangako ko sa inyo, I would protect you all. I will carry out my mission as an Apostle of the Gods. Tutulungan ko kayong gamitin ang kakayahan niyo. Magic is supposed to be taught in a good way at ginagamit lang dapat ang mahika sa magagandang purpose . Magic is not supposed to be used in chaos. Don't worry, Im not hypnotized by the headmistress at hindi ko hahayaan na ipagpapatuloy niya ang lahat ng to. We need to stop her kaya kailangan ko ang tulong niyo. I badly need your help. "
