Magnus Academy: The Cursed Blood

Chapter Sixty-Five

Attacks and Confrontations III

Iyana's POV

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako ang pinili nilang maging leader sa team na ito. This team lacks motivation at mukhang wala silang plano sumunod sa mga sinasabi ko. Currently, as the leader of the fourth team group three, we are supposed to be discussing our plans and our formations. Pero hindi manlang ako makapagsalita dahil nag-aaway away sila. Each teams have five members that should be able to handle different positions.

Napaupo ako sa may malaking flat na bato habang tinitignan ko silang nagbabangayan. One from Hanzel's group, another one from Mike's, the other one from Yazmina, and the last one, from Freya's group.

Hays. Sampung minuto lang ang binigay sa amin makipag-usap, wala na kaming oras sa mga problema nila. Why am I even the leader? Wala akong gana maging isang nanay-nanayan sa team na parang mga bata.

Still, the plan unusually changed. Ang sabi sa amin ay may pinaplano silang malaki, but the good thing is that they aren't expecting us. I sighed. Ano na naman ba ang iniisip ng babaeng yun? And seriously leaving Andrea with small fries? Such a waste of manpower. It's almost as if she didn't want her—

"Umm...wala ka bang plano pigilan sila?" A girl caught my attention. She's a first year just like me. Mahaba ang buhok niya hanggang balikat, at may headband siya sa ibabaw ng buhok niya. Judging from her badge, siya yung babaeng nagmula sa White Brigade.

Unlike her, I'm a dull girl who lacks motivation in anything. Natatakpan pa ng ilang strands ng buhok ko ang mga mata ko, my bangs are longer now. Mahaba din ang buhok ko, down to my back. And why am I explaning this? Because she should be the epitome of first years!

Maganda kaya siya, fashionable, and—

Don't get me wrong though! I'm just...hmm envious. I never had any chance to do stuffs like that dahil sa ability ko. I'm always yawning at kahit natutulog naman ako like all the time, ay palagi parin akong pagod at dahil dun wala akong gana sa halos lahat ng bagay. Thanks to these strands of hair that's covering my eyes, hindi masyadong halata ang mga eyebags ko.

I don't even have time to train my body to improve my stamina, not because I'm not motivated, because I'm always too tired. Hays.

"Umm..." mukhang mabait naman siyang tao.

"Naiinis nadin ako. Kaya tapusin na natin 'to." So that I could take my sleep.

I clapped my hands as hard as I can to attract their attentions. The least thing they could do is pay their respects. But after what I did, parang napahiya lang ako dahil wala manlang nakinig. Even the girl beside me, hindi ko alam ang mga pangalan nila, tried doing something pero wala!

Sa inis ko ay nagpalabas ako ng isang submachine gun and started shooting upwards. Wala akong pakealam kung marinig man 'to ng mga kalaban kung meron man diyan sa tabi tabi, ay bahala na. As their leader, I have the responsibility of making sure they do their jobs right, at may responsibilidad din ako sa mga buhay nila. And if they won't even listen to me, what's the point of being a leader?

I continued shooting hanggang sa natahimik na sila. The girl beside was surprised she almost turned white. Napatingin ang lahat sa akin as if ngayon lang nila nalaman na nandito ako.

"Now, can I have your attention?" I asked. Dalawa lang ang first years dito, and the rest are third years.

"Tss. Pasikat." I heard that girl from Yurosian pero di ko siya pinansin.
