Team Alpha

Chapter 41

'The Boat is Sinking'

Third Person's Point of View

"Troll in the dungeon!" Lahat ng mga studyante sa hallway ay napatingin sa lalaking tumatakbo palayo sa building na 'yun. Tinawanan lang siya ng iba dahil dito.

"Pretty sure that guy watches too much Harry Potter." Natatawang sabi ng isang studyante at ginaya pa ang British accent ng mga character sa movie. Tinawanan lang siya ng kasama niya pero nawala agad ang mga tawanan nila nung bigla nalang yumanig ang buong paligid. Nagsigawan agad 'yung iba at nagsimula nang magtakbuhan matapos nilang marinig ang sigaw ng troll na sinundan pa ng isa at ng isa pa hanggang sa sunod-sunod na nilang narinig ang sigaw nito.

Everyone ran in opposite directions, except for Team Alpha who stopped on their tracks and started running to the direction of that certain building. The festival was far over.

"It should be trolls in the dungeon. Trolls!" Natatarantang sigaw ng isang studyanteng muntik nang mabunggo ni Matthew. Jayden and Joshua immediately assisted the students away from the building. Dino checked every classroom using the portal to make sure that no students were left. When Wolfie made sure that he smelled no creature in the building, Matthew immediately isolated the building using a blue shield.

Matapos gawin ni Matthew ito ay agad na kumunot ang noo ni Wolfie. His senses might've been bothered by the smell of the entirety of the school. But when the place got secured, he smelled a very familiar scent.

"Xin is inside." Agad niyang sabi dahilan para umalerto ang team.

"So is Milo." Dagdag nito. But then he suddenly sneezed dahilan para kunot-noo siyang tiningnan ng iba. Wolfie just groaned and shook his head. "I smell a monkey scent mixed with mint? What the hell is that creature?" Tanong ni Wolfie sa sarili pero tinawanan lang siya ni Walter habang naglalakad sila papasok.

"Bitchy white witches. I think Xinny can handle them." Pasimpleng sabi ni Walter. Jun and Matthew just shoved him aside at nagmadali silang naglakad papasok at sumunod naman sa kanila si Wolfie. Nagkibit-balikat nalang siya at pasimpleng sumunod sa kanila. "Walter! Walter! Do the thing!" Kumunot na naman ang noo ni Walter at tiningnan si Hoshi na nasa tabi niya habang nakangiti sa kanya.

"The thing!" Pag-uulit nito at tumingin sa kamay ko. Napasapo nalang si Walter sa noo niya at tsaka inilabas ang horcrux niya. Agad na pumalakpak si Hoshi nung nakita niya ito.

"Ahh, I suddenly miss Xin's horcrux." Vernon said after seeing Walter's horcrux. He always loved using Xin's bow and arrow horcrux because it has unlimited arrows. Tumingin lang ang iba sa kanya. Pagdating nila sa dungeon ay nakita nilang nandun sa labas sina Matthew at nakasara parin ang pinto. Tiningnan lang ni Seth si Dino at agad na siyang gumawa ng light ball.

The light ball was all they needed before coming in.

Pagpasok nila ay nagdala ng liwanag ang light ball sa loob ng dungeon. When everyone gathered inside, they were nailed to their position upon seeing that sight. It was the white witches, down on the ground and unconscious. Then there was Milo, assisting a troll who was carrying a girl. And the girl was Xin.

Nanginig ang mga labi ni Milo nung makita niya ang team at agad na tiningnan si Xin.

"S-She took the hit. I tried to d-defend her p-pero tinulak niya lang ako palayo." Hindi na nila halos maintindihan ang mga sinasabi ni Milo. Hinubad nalang ni Jun ang jacket niya at binigay ito kay Milo dahil basang-basa ito at may mga sugat pa. Jun then took Xin out of the troll's arms and took her back to the dorm.
