Legend of Immortal: Angeloids and Eviloids(UNDER MAJOR EDITING)

Capítulo Uno [✔]

SAGLIT kong pinagmasdan ang arko ng eskwalahan kung saan nakaukit ang pangalan nito.

'WELCOME TO ST. ATHENA UNIVERSITY'

INFO: School where gifted students exist.

Napansin ko namang pinagtitinginan na ako ng mga ibang estudyante. At alam naman talaga natin na kapag bago tayo hindi maiiwasang 'di tayo pagchi-tsismisan.

May lumapit naman sa'king babae na kung makatingin ay kakainin ka na nya ng buhay. Ewan ko ba kung ano ang problema niya. Kay aga-aga mukha niyang gorilla ang bubunggad sa'king umaga?

"Excuse me, are you a new student here?" sabi nya sa maarteng tono. I don't understand kung bakit ganun siya makikitungo. Hindi ba uso sa kanya ang pakikipagplastikan nalang?

"Yeah, isn't it obvious?" nagulat sya sa isinagot ko para bang hindi nya inexpect ang sinabi ko. At halos lalabas na ang apoy sa ilong niya ngayon, naasar ko siguro sya. Ang ikli nang pasensya niya ha?

"Excuse me? Bakit gifted ka ba?" tumaas ang kilay niya at bigla rin siyang nag cross arms sa aking harapan. Hinahamon mo 'ko ghourl? Kung tarayan lang naman ang labanan nangunguna ako dun.

"Obvious ba?" I responded with an air of nonchalance, flipping my hair dramatically in front of her face. "Don't me!" I couldn't help but savor the déjà vu of her reaction, basking in the sweet satisfaction of throwing back the same disdain she had dished out to me earlier.I deliberately turned my back on her and began to walk away. With each step, the faint hum of murmurs and whispers followed me, a symphony of curiosity that lingered in my wake. Among the spectators, the same girl who had been a witness to our exchange couldn't contain herself, letting out an enthusiastic, "OH MY GOD!" 

It was clear that she found my response to the haughty girl from earlier rather impressive.

As I strolled through the campus, I made a silent vow to myself. I didn't care what labels they might assign to me. I was on a mission to assert my true self, to unapologetically unveil the layers of my personality, and to let them know without a doubt who I really was.While navigating the school grounds, something struck me with an unexpected sense of familiarity. The classrooms, despite the school's reputation for nurturing gifted minds, were astonishingly ordinary. It was an unexpected revelation, and it made me wonder whether my preconceived notions about this school had been misplaced.In any case, I had already completed my enrollment on the final day of registration. I carried my class schedule with me, but I had always been the kind of person who preferred not to rely on memory alone. Instead, I tucked the schedule away in the depths of my bag, knowing that I could retrieve it when needed.

Dahil wala pang klase, agad akong naghanap ng lugar na pag-aari sa loob ng silid-aralan. Hindi nagtagal ay natagpuan ko na ito, at walang pag-aalinlangan, inupuan ko ang napiling pwesto. Mula sa aking pwesto, tahimik kong pinagmasdan ang mga kasama ko sa silid-aralan, bawat isa sa kanila ay tila ba may kanya-kanyang mundo na kinabibilangan.Ngunit biglang may lumapit na babae sa akin. Maikli ang kanyang buhok, at sa kanyang paglapit, hindi ko maiwasang tumigil sa aking mga ginagawa."Bago ka?" tanong niya sa isang magaan na tono, na nagpapakita ng kaunting kabaitan. Tumango ako bilang sagot."Ako nga pala si Athlea Lefkowicz," ngumiti siya habang nagpapakilala, at agad akong iniabot ng kanyang kamay."Yvaine Claire Skywalker," tugon ko, inaabot ang aking sariling kamay. Ngunit bigla na lang siyang umalis at bumalik sa kanyang upuan nang dumating ang aming guro, kasama na ang iba pang mga estudyante. Nalaman ko na nasa harap na pala namin ang aming unang guro para sa araw na iyon.

"Good morning, students!" greeted our instructor, her lips curved into a warm smile. As they all stood up, I rose to my feet as well.

"Good morning, Miss Sierra," they all greeted in unison, except for me. Instead, I met our female instructor's gaze with a steady and observant stare."You may sit," she said, her smile never wavering. We all took our seats. "I heard we have a new transfer student," she suddenly said, her gaze locking onto mine as she made her way towards my desk. Swiftly, I stood up, holding my head high. I knew how to display my confidence, especially when faced with a sea of judgmental eyes."That's me, Ms. Sierra.""Please, introduce yourself." Since I was accustomed to being in the hot seat, I allowed a teasing grin to play on my lips."Oh, well. This is Yvaine Claire Skywalker from Divine St. Quatros Division," I responded directly. Miss Sierra assessed me with a serious look, but I didn't back down.

"What a confident..." I heard some murmurs, but they weren't enough to shake my confidence. I simply smiled and took my seat again, paying no heed to the buzz in the room.My eyes wandered back to Miss Sierra, who continued to regard me with a serious expression. I wondered what kind of instructor she was. From what I could gather from her demeanor, she appeared to be the type who wore a thick layer of plasticity on the outside, concealing a strict and disciplined core."Ahem!" she suddenly cleared her throat, hushing my classmates as effectively as if a dragon had roared. "Follow me to the Combat Arena." With that, she promptly left the room.One by one, my classmates rose to follow her. I quickly slung my bag over my shoulder and joined the procession.Numerous thoughts raced through my mind about the possibilities that awaited me. It dawned on me that Ms. Sierra must be our Combat instructor. I couldn't help but grin. I was prepared for whatever lay ahead.My steps faltered as someone called out to me. I turned to see Athlea."Can we go together?" she asked."Sure," I replied with a nod. She smiled in response.Upon our arrival, we spotted Ms. Sierra in the middle of the arena, accompanied by three young men. I noticed that it wasn't just our section; students from other sections were present as well. Our section was called Alpha, but I had yet to learn the background story of our division.We quickly found our assigned seats in the bleachers."Good morning, students. Today, we've decided that you'll all be participating in a competition. The good news is that the member of the section who emerges victorious in this competition will earn a coveted spot in the special section!" My brow furrowed as Ms. Sierra delivered this surprising announcement.The students erupted into excited chatter, nearly deafening me in the process."Althea, what's so special about that special section?" I asked, a puzzled expression on my face."Ahh... hehe, well, they get rewarded with the powers of the archangels," she replied with a gleam in her eye, as if she had already been rewarded just by sharing that piece of information."Why are they being rewarded?" I suddenly found my voice. Curiosity had finally gotten the better of me. After all, I had no idea about the history of this university."Yes, you see that guy over there with orange hair, the one beside Ms. Sierra?" She pointed to the individual I had noticed earlier.I nodded. "He's one of the rewarded. He came from the Beta section and was rewarded last year.""What's his name?" I inquired, my curiosity piqued.She smiled mischievously. "Interested, huh?" My lips curled upward in response to her playful question."Is it wrong to ask?""Oh, come on, you're no fun," she teased. "His name is Santi Defuq.""Okay," I replied, my tone nonchalant."But you know, Claire, not a single student from our section has ever been rewarded," she said sadly, and my curiosity was reignited."Why not?" I asked, my gaze intent on her face."I don't know, maybe the students in the Alpha section just aren't as talented," she replied softly."There's always a day reserved for the Alpha section, so who knows," I said with a smile, patting her shoulder. She nodded in response.Once again, our attention was drawn back to Miss Sierra as she began to speak."Stay tuned for the announcement tomorrow, and prepare your weapons, as well as yourselves."
