Saudade

CHAPTER THIRTY -Crack The Codes!

It's been three days since we were welcomed by our fellow students and i'm sort of adjusting in my new schedule since i'm a new noble. Mabilis ring kumalat ang balitang 'yon na naging noble student ako pagkatapos ng battle na naganap. I don't care though..maybe they're just envious or something? I don't really have any idea why they're making it a big deal again.

By the way,today's the said event that Ziryll told me. Nalaman ko na medyo may pagkakahawig ito sa foundation day namin sa Yukio and I really find it exciting but I don't know where group I belong because I feel like I don't have a specific power?

Lumabas na ako ng Ardent suot ang aking bagong uniporme..gaganapin kasi ang foundation sa labas ng mala-palasyong building. Sakto namang umalingawngaw ang boses ni Andee.

"All students who have a power related to air please line infront of me.."mabilis na kumilos ang mga students at nagsimulang pumila habang ako naman ay tuluyan ng bumaba ng hagdanan at lumapit sa kanila.

"All students who have the power related to water please do the same.."mahinhing sambit naman ni Ziryll.

"Students who have a power related to fire i'll give you five minutes to line properly infront of me!"halos mataranta ang mga estudyanteng pumila sa harap ni Fiana.

"Students na may earth power pumila na rin sa harapan ko."sunod na sabi naman ni Eirah.

"Oh well nakapila na yung mga kasali sa'kin."simpleng sambit naman ni Iyah na ikinatawa ng mga nakapila sa kaniya. Malamang ay kinausap na niya sa utak niya ang mga students na pumila sa kaniya.

"Syempre yung natitira sa'kin na!"sambit naman ni Dezirae.

Unti-unti akong mas lumapit sa kanila at dahil maayos na silang nakapila ay masyadong agaw pansin ang presenya ko na wala sa kahit anong pila.

What group do I belong?

'Layla Andrada just line in Fiana's group..' bigla akong nabuhayan ng loob ng ginamit ni Iyah ang ability niya to communicate through her mind.

"Okay guys we are obviously the red team so first we'll assign the students who has a physical power..the ones who have great stamina para sa Amazing Race.."we all nodded in unison.

Ngayon ay nasa kaniya kaniyang place ang bawat grupo para magplano. Kakaiba rin pala ang Ardent's Day kumpara sa Yukio dahil una..ngayong first day pa lang nalaman ang kaniya kaniyang group plus,ngayon lang rin magpa-plano tapos the fact that the activities are also quite different.

"So that's the reason why I asked you all some questions a while ago..I'll pick base on your experience."

"For the Amazing Race we have..ofcourse me,Finn,Marmaine,Kell and Po—no..let's have Layla."

Pinaliwanag ni Fiana ang lahat ng mga importanteng detalye at ang mga kailangan naming gawin sa nasabing race..she's mean but a good and effective leader indeed.

Ang ibang kagrupo namin ay napunta naman sa parang quiz bee na tinatawag nilang Knowledge Test kung saan ang limang representatives ay dapat madaming alam or kung possible ay alam lahat ng mga inaaral namin dito sa Ardent tapos si Denver naman ay sa motorball dito naman ay parang race rin tapos mag-aagawan kayo sa isang made of steel na bola and you can steal it by using some stunts..then the remaining members will be preparing some props to support us.

May dalawang oras na lang bago mag umpisa ang event at nandito kami ngayon sa isang malaking stadium sa Academia El Ardiente. We all arrived here one hour ago wearing our team's color. I'm wearing a simple bright red shirt with a fire print on the upper right then a black leggings and white gold sneakers.

In staying here for an hour,I noticed the big difference of Ardent Academia to Academia El Ardiente. Ardent looks more luxurious and it's extremely screaming elegance on every of it's corner while El Ardiente is simple and just a bit luxurious but it's also a bit bigger than Ardent.

"OKAY YOUR TIME WILL START WHEN YOU HEAR THE BUZZER! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO CRACK SOME CODES AND PUZZLES FOR YOU TO PASS EVERY LEVELS THE WINNER IS THE FIRST GROUP WHO'LL BE BACK IN OUR STARTING LINE!"

When we heard the buzzer we immediately run through the track to crack the first code for us to know the right path.

- ..- .-. -. .-.. . ..-. -

"It's a morse code!"I exclaimed then they all looked at me. I'm rubbing my thumb on my chin while trying to crack the code.

"Hurry up Layla!"natatarantang sigaw ni Marmaine.

"Chill ka lang Maine let's trust Layla since hindi tayo masiyadong familiar sa morse code na yan."sabi naman ni Finn.

"I got it! It says 'TURN LEFT'!"I said then we started to run on the left path.

Kailangan naming maging maingat at maging mabilis dahil medyo mabato ang path at kung basta ka lang natakbo baka madapa or matisod ka.

Taek one life for eth key make sure you kill the ones on your ltef cause it makes this words tell the ptah thne you can continue and wlak torhugh but before that find the owodne thing and make a istasr..the answer is not always right.

"What the hell is that?"Finn said while he's still trying to understand those weird riddles we encountered after running.

"I think the clue is the last sentence guys.. 'The answer is not always right.."I absentmindedly told them while still staring at the riddle.

"Seriously?"Kell rolled her eyes.

"I got it!"Maine exclaimed then we all faced her with a hint of excitement through our eyes.

"Try cracking the jumbled words there I think it's the answer."we all nodded in response.

Taek one life for eth key make sure you kill the ones on your ltef cause it makes this words tell the ptah thne you can continue and wlak torhugh but before that find the owodne thing and make a istasr..the answer is not always right.

After a few minutes we already cracked the riddle and it says.. 'Take the left path then walk through wooden stairs.'

Kung titignan ay napaka-simple lang ng riddle na iyon kung iintindihin mo ang mga salita at pagmamasdan mo ang mga ito. Ang masama nga lang sa iba..pagnatataranta ay hindi na magawang makapag-isip ng ayos kaya walang magawa..in the end being calm helps us a lot on this..you should remain calm so you could think.
