Chapter 5
The Result
SOBRANG sama ng tingin niya sa akin na parang kakainin na niya ako; na parang may ginawa akong masama. Marahil ay napikon siya dahil tinakbuhan ko siya kanina.
Do girls have ego too?
Hindi ko na lang siya pinansin. Inihiga ko na lang ang ulo ko sa ibabaw ng aking nakatayong maleta. Papaidlip na sana ako nang muling nagsalita si Professor Slouch.
"Students, we hope that you enjoyed your meal. And for the most awaited part of the Sectioning, here's the result," sabi niya.
Napuno ang harap ng kastilyo ng mga sari-saring reaksiyon ng bawat estudyante. May ilang sabik na sabik ngunit karamihan sa kanila ay umiiyak dala ng matinding kaba.
"The total number of students who participated this year's Sectioning is 77 and 70 of which got a negative score," anunsiyo ni Professor Slouch.
I gasped because of that. Others did too. Everyone of us did. Halatang gulat na gulat ang lahat sa naging resulta ng Sectioning. Who would've thought that out of 77 students, 70 will get a negative score; 70 will be thrown in Section Sidekicks.
But thankfully, I know I'm not one of those 70 students. I defeated that Percival and my battle against that heart girl was just nothing but a stalemate.
"That means, all 70 negative-scored students will be sorted to Sidekicks,"
Because of that, students started to whine and cry out loud.
I still can't move on from the result. Only seven of us got a positive score. Isa na ako doon. Ganun ba kalakas ang anim na iba na parang nilampaso talaga nila ang pitumpong ibang mga estudyante?
"Here's the list of Section Sidekick Retainers," panimula ni Professor Slouch.
Sunod-sunod na mga pangalan ang kaniyang sinambit. Sa bawat pagbigkas ng pangalan ay may naririnig akong sigaw, hiyaw, o hikbi.
Sa patuloy na pag-anunsiyo ni Professor Slouch ng mga pangalan ay wala akong may narinig na kilala ko. Well, wala naman pala akong kakilala in the first place. Hanggang sa naubos na niya ang pitumpong pangalan at katulad ng inaasahan ay hindi nabanggit ang aking pangalan.
"Congratulations, Freshmen of Section Sidekicks. Hope you enjoy the year in Grim Academy," sabi ni Professor Slouch.
"Since we have only seven positive-scored students, they will be automatically sorted to Section Reapers and they will represent our school and division in the upcoming 25th Grand Magic Tournament in a few months," pahayag ni Professor Slouch.
Marami naman ang humanga sa pitong ito, sa amin.
"And these are the seven strong and cunning students. As I call your name please come to the center to be recognized," lahat ay excited na malaman kung sino ang pitong ito.
