ITINAPAT ni Azumi ang kaniyang kanang kamay sa tarangkahan. Mismong sa may naka-ukit na simbolo ng academy. Honestly, she didn't know how to open it that's why she just follow her intuition. Sana lang bumukas ito. The moment her palm touches the symbol, it instantly glows so bright and the gate automatically open on its own.
Azumi was caught off guard because the moment the gate opens, she sees a huge fire ball approaching her. However, despite of her current situation, she still manages to stay calm. It's just a piece of cake for her after all. So instead of panicking, she just stared at the fire ball without fear written all over her face. Kung sa iba kasi ay mabilis ang trajectory nito, sa kaniya ay hindi. It moves in a very slow pace but not because she used her Time Magic. It's just that her reaction speed is in a whole different level.
Bago pa tumama ito sa kaniya ay itinapat niya ang kaniyang palad rito and then she consumed that fire ball using her special skilled which she named Devora. The skill that bestowed her the ability to consumed everything either magic or physical objects.
What she did was so cool and awesome but she's not aware of that. Sa mundo kasi na kaniyang pinanggalingan ay normal at ordinaryo lang ang ginawa niyang iyon pero mukhang nakaligtaan niya na wala na siya sa kinalakihan niyang mundo. At isa pa, pawang mga Diyos at Diyosa ang mga nakakasalamuha niya roon.
"I'm sorry," paghingi ng tawad sa kaniya ng babaeng pinanggalingan ng fire ball na iyon. Dagli siya nitong nilapitan para humingi ng tawad. She look at her from head to toe and she noticed that she is obviously a fire mage who are still a newbie. "I didn't mean to do that."
Nginitian lang niya ito. "It's okay. Hindi naman ako nasaktan."
"Oo nga eh. That was cool. How did you do that?" Kita niya ang pagniningning ng mga mata nito habang sinasabi ang mga iyon.
"I'm just lucky.... I guess." Nasabi nalang niya dahil wala siyang matinong naisip para idahilan kundi yun lang.
"I still want to talk to you but I need to go. And again sorry."
After that, the woman leave and let herself been the main focus of the discussions by many magic users who witnessed what she did, obviously composed of new and regular students. Some praised her but others looks so confused. She cursed silently because she almost blow off her cover. Dapat siyang mag-ingat upang hindi na ito maulit pa.
Bigla siyang nakaramdam ng hiya ng mapagtanto niyang nakatutok sa kaniya ang atensiyon ng lahat kaya naman ay mabilis siyang naglakad patungo sa information/registration desk na ngayon ay marami pa rin ang nakapila para makapag-enroll.
"Their stares is creeping me out," she murmured because she's felt so uncomfortable right now for the attentions she received from the majority.
Mabuti na lang pagkadating niya sa information/registration desk ay mga sampo na lang ang nakapila. Lucky her because it seems that she can enroll herself by not waiting for more than an hour or two. Napagisip-isip niya na baka kunti lang silang new students o baka naman kasi masyado siyang huli para sa enrollment.
"Kasalanan ito ng hambog na gwapo na iyon," naiinis na sabi niya ng maalala ang estrangherong lalaki na nakadaupang-palad niya kani-kanina lang. Even the kiss that they shared is still lingering in her head. That's her first kiss after all and unfortunately, she had given it to a pervert man. Pero ang kaninang swerte na akala niya ay hindi na nangyari pa dahil umabot na ng lampas dalawampung minuto ang pag-aantay niya sa pila.
Haist! Malas talaga sa buhay ko iyong gagong iyon!
Pakiramdam niya ay naging malas na siya pagkatapos ng enkwentro niyang iyon sa estranghero. Pero wala siyang magagawa dahil nandito na ito. Nangyari na ang dapat mangyari and she doesn't have a choice but to deal with it.
AFTER waiting for almost half an hour, at last it's finally her turn to process her enrollment and the Headmaster himself is the one who welcome her. She knew that this man is the Headmaster because she heard that he's been constantly called as HM by the first enrollees. Not to mention his superior aura that really proves how powerful he is in terms of power and position.
Wala naman siyang issue kay HM pero sa mga estudyante meron. Natagalan kasi ang enrollment niya dahil bukod sa may delayed na nangyari, may mga tangina ring hindi naging fair sa pila. Nakisiksik ba naman sa pila ang iba na mas late pa sa kaniya kaya ang ending, from 11th applicant, she became 25th.
Gusto niya man magreklamo pero di niya magawa. Bahala na ang mga Diyos at Diyosa na magparusa sa kanila. Pero syempre joke lang. Malakas siya sa mga iyon eh. Everything she requested from them was granted. Perks of being the Heavenly Goddess.
"Good morning," The Headmaster warmly greeted at her. She greeted him back and then she sat down at the visitor's chair.
"Here's your enrollment form. Make sure you will never missed to fill up every details that it needs." May binigay itong form sa kaniya na agad niya namang inabot. He also gave her pen.
"Noted Headmaster..."
"Yuan. HM Yuan," anito at pagkuwan ay pormal itong nagpakilala sa kaniya. "Looks like you came from far away land so let me introduce myself. I am King Yuan Savier Frost, the King of the Ice Kingdom and also the Headmaster of the Royal Knight Academy. You can call me HM Yuan for short."
Nagulat siya dahil hindi niya inaakalang ang Ice King at ang Headmaster ay iisa. How can he successfully manage both his own kingdom and the academy at the same time?
Nagsimula na siyang mag-fill up at hindi na nag-abalang sagutin ang tanong niyang iyon. She strictly followed HM instructions. Nilagay niya ang mga personal information na hinihingi nito kahit ang karamihan sa mga ito ay hindi totoo.
"Ito na po HM." Magalang niyang iniabot rito pabalik ang form. Kinuha naman ito ng Headmaster at pahapyaw na binasa ang laman niyon.
"Azumi," he mentioned her name and then he looks at her. "You have a very nice name. Do you know what your name means?"
Tumango siya at pagkuwan ay sinagot ito. "My name Azumi means peaceful beauty derived from "Azu" which means peaceful and "Mi" means beauty. Bakit niyo po pala natanong?" Naitanong niya sa huli. She's just curious.
"Your name is just a very common name given in the Mortal Realm. So, are you?"
Tumango siya. "I am."
This is just part of her disguised and her parents really planned it well. From her departure to the fake identity she will use. And so far, everything is going well.
"Half-blooded?"
Umiling siya. "No. My parents are both mages. We just happened to live there."
Tumango-tango ito. "Where are your parents then?"
Umakto siyang nalungkot sa katanungan na iyon. "They're already dead." Another lies. "And coming here was the last thing they said to me. Hindi na kasi ako ligtas roon."
Nakita niya ang awa sa mukha ng Headmaster and she felt bad right now. Ayaw niyang magsinungaling ngunit kailangan.
"Sorry for that."
"No worries HM." It's a lie after all.
"I don't want to interrogate you more so you may go. Welcome to Royal Knight Academy, Ms. Raven. You're now one of our new students here so good luck and enjoy your stay here," the headmaster said that put a smile on her lips.
"Thank you HM Yuan," she replied. The Headmaster just smile at her in return.
"By the way this is the no. of your dormitory and your class schedule as well," the Headmaster added as he handed to her a piece of paper. She take a glance at the paper and just nod after reading what's written on it.
"Anyways, your uniform will be deliver tomorrow morning. Again, welcome and have a nice day to you."
Azumi just gave HM Yuan her sweetest smile as a response and then she turn her back and walk away from him.
This is it pancit! I am now officially enrolled in Royal Knight Academy.
