Pag balik namin sa malaking tent ay naroon na ang magiging Instructor namin, nakatalikod ito kaya ang pixie cut na buhok lang nito ang nakikita namin. May mahabang lamesa na din sa loob ng tent. Even though the Professor was facing back at us, I was certain she's arranging the ingredients and spices we needed for this subject.
She must've felt our presence, kaya humarap sya sa amin. Naguluhan agad ako sa nakita. Standing in front of us was Professor Hiraki. Why did she suddenly cut her hair? And we were informed earlier na iba ang magiging instructor namin for this class.
"Good noon to you, kids." Sandali nya kaming tingingnan. She was observing us. Then came up with a small laugh. "Look at your faces. You kids must have mistaken me for Hiraki."
Pinaupo nya kami. Even though confused, we obliged.
"Let me properly introduce you myself. I am Haruka. Commander Hiraki's twin.
Also, I prefer to be called Professor Haruka instead of addressing me as a Commander." Commander kasi ang karaniwang tawag maging sa mga Instructors, probably because most of them were leaders.
"I will teach you how to make potions, and the traditional medicine as well." The instructor stated.
"Potions are for our convenience. Potions can be another bag of power to us. Or an extension to our power. May sari-sarili na tayong mga lakas. Bakit pa nga ba kailangan ng potion?
You see, there are times where we should just conserve our gifts and use only a little bit of magic, lalo na kung ang pag gagamitan natin nito ay mababaw na bagay lang. Like stuffs we encounter in our daily lives. Halimbawa na lang ang pagpapa ganda at pagpapa bata ng hitsura. You can just buy a bottle of beauty instead of using your gift.
Tandaan ninyo, you can all use your gifts to make your physical appearance younger and fuller, ngunit maaari din nitong masira ang katawan ninyo lalo na at masyadong malakas ang gifts na ibinigay sa atin ng Dakilang Void at Felicity. So it's better to choose the lowkey option."
"Pero may mga oras din naman na ginagamit natin ang potion to add up more power. For example, you're in a battle against a really powerful creature, and your gift is almost not enough to beat it, pwede tayong gumamit ng potions. Depende na sa iyo kung sa paanong paraan mo gagamitin. Pwedeng direkta mong masaktan ang kalaban, o linlangin ito para makakuha ng tamang tiyempo."
Nag lakad ang Propesor patungo sa likod ng isang lamesa. It's a bit far from us, but enough for us to see what's happening.
Sa lamesang iyon ay may dalawang transparent na botelya. Mayroong kulay asul na liquid sa loob ng unang bote, habang sa pangalawa naman ay kulay pink na may pagka purple. There's also this round crystal, na may liquid din sa loob. Kulay ginto iyon.
"There are three kinds of potions. First, the healing potion." Itinaas nya ang kulay asul na botelya. "This is a traditional medicine. Maselan ang pag gawa nito. One wrong herb and you might as well end up killing someone."
She carefully placed the bottle back to its original place, and then held up the next bottle. Iyong mayroong kulay pink na liquid.
"Second is the hoaxing potion. This potion can change your appearance, halimbawa na lang, pwede ako'ng maging kamukha ni Commander Charish if I drink this, but only for a limited time. Depende sa tagal ng pagkakagawa at sa quality ang effectiveness nito.
A hoaxing potion can also be a shifting tool. One drop and you'll turn into any animal you want. Depende rin sa pagkakagawa. Ang hawak ko ngayon ay mayroong kakayahang gawing kuneho ang isang nilalang.
