Heleina Cross Academy of Magic Part III: Alta Guild

Chapter Six: The Team

Ireneia Xyke Vein

"Ugh! Kahit kailan ka talaga Nikolei! Umayos ka nga!" 

"Ano nanaman bang problema mo sakin ha bebe gurl? Pinapakilig ka na nga ayaw mo pa!"

"Hindi ako kinikilig! Kinikilabutan ako kaya magtigil ka na!"

Napa-iling na lang ako bago binuksan ang pinto ng conference room kung saan ako sinabihang pumunta kanina.

It was an order from the council kaya hindi ako pwedeng huminde kahit pa ba sangkaterba ang gawain ko sa opisina.

I smiled in thoughts of seeing them again.

After the previous meeting that we did ay hindi ko na sila muling nakita dahil nagsibalik muna ang mga ito sa kanya-kanyang trabaho to fix everything before leaving I guess?

"Nag-aaway nanaman kayo... just confess already para matapos na." Seryosong sabi ko the moment I stepped inside the room. I smirked when I saw how Nikolei turned pale as he avoid Lindsay's questioning look.

"Ngayong kompleto na tayo. Let's start this meeting para mabilis din tayong matapos." Helios said with full authority.

I nod as a sign of agreement to what Helios just said.

The earlier we start, the earlier we can get this meeting done.

Bahagya akong napangiti ng sumeryoso ang mga kasamahan namin dito sa conference room. Kanina lang ay napaka-ingay ng mga ito. Kung hindi ko lang sila kilala ay baka napaniwala na ako na tahimik talaga silang mga nilalang.

But I knew better.

They are far from being quiet.

"The main agenda of this meeting is the finalization of Heleina Cross' first troop." Helios said as his gaze flew into mine.

I nod before I started talking.

"Lukas and I, have already finalized the list of the trainees who are deserving to be part of my troop." I said as I stare at them one by one.

Sunod-sunod na tango naman ang ginawa nila.

"Kelan namin pwedeng malaman kung sino-sino ang myembro ng team na sinasabi mo General?" Seryosong tanong ni Lynia with full princess authority.

"Right now." I answered bago umupo ng maayos para masimulan ko na ang pagpapakilala sa team na inayos ko.

"The first troop will be composed of 7 members. Hiro Hatashi, a water mage. Miranda Devinge, enchantress and witch. Andrius Aerondel, cloner. Nikita White, an infuser. Yezia Steel, a mage who can accurately feel anything just by touching the ground or anything associated with it. Akemi Mitsuo, a levitant with mastery on weapons, and lastly, Piero Dean, a fire mage user." Mahabang sabi ko bago muling isinandal ang likod ko sa back rest ng swivel chair na kinauupuan ko.

"Another fire mage user? Mukhang naglalabasan na sila sa mga lungga nila now that the war is fast approaching." Seryosong komento ni Copper.

"Yeah. Remember that man who attacked Nia after the Alpha's game? Diba fire mage din ang may gawa nun? You even had a 3rd degree burn." Cashiella said bago napangiwi remembering how my arm looked before it was treated by the healers in the infirmary.

Napatango ako as a sign of agreement to what she said.

"No. I have this huge hunch that it is more than that. They must have a huge reason behind their sudden appearance at yun ang susubukan nating alamin without them knowing. Tama rin siguro na sinama mo sya sa team mo general, in that way you can keep an eye on him. And maybe one of these days, get a answer straight from him." Seryosong pahayag ni Helios na ikinatango ko na lang din naman.

Hindi na din naman nagtagal ang meeting na yun dahil may kanya-kanya na din naman kaming gawain sa kanya-kanya naming opisina.

Sabi ko nga dati, kailangan muna naming gawin lahat ng kailangang gawin, tapusin ang lahat ng kailangang tapusin bago kami sumabak sa bago naming misyon.

We are still, after all, Heleina Cross' special force troop.

But what is bothering me now is that fire mage user kid.

Zeke will be thrilled if he knew about this. Siguradong gagawin nun ang lahat only to talk to that kid and I knew that he will do far more than just talking.

When it comes to filling the missing pieces of his life, Zeke can't surely control his shit. Heleina Cross would be burnt into pieces knowing that kid's personality.

Piero Dean.

A mysterious name, for a mysterious guy.

Habang tumatagal ay mas lalong dumadami ang misteryong bumabalot sa Heleina Cross.

It only means one thing.

More work for us.

And more sleepless nights for me.
