Magnus Academy: The Cursed Blood

Chapter Eight

A Dimensional Disturbance

"You can't even stand up, and you expect me to feel threatened?" Mas nagalit pa siya sa tanong ko at sinubukang abutin ang damit ko, pero simple konv itinaboy ang kamay niya gamit ang hawak kong espada causing his arm to bleed severely. He almost screamed out his anguish but realized that he shouldn't look so weak in front of me.

"What's your name?" I asked once again, but he only glared at me without opening his mouth to talk. "I'll ask you one last time, what is your name?"

"You expect me to tell my identity? Never! And you can't kill me, otherwise you wouldn't be able to know everything about us—"

"And that is the words of desperation." Agad kong tinigil ang mga salita niya at sinaksak siya sa kaliwang balikat. He finally let out that painful scream, his breathing became ragged, at hindi mukhang malala nga talaga ang mga sugat niya sa loob ng katawan. "You must be confident that I'm stupid."

"W-we will not stop...u-until you're dead—argh! You will pay for this!"

"I wonder where did you get your confidence that you can take me on this easily." Do I even really look that weak? I destroyed a freaking city, and they expect to take me on with only more than twenty people? If I was that easy to kill sana ngayon palang patay na ako. Minamaliit nila ako dahil lang wala silang alam sa akin.

"Miss Willar, I will ask you to please stop making a scene." Napatingin ako kay Raus na nagsabi nun, ngayon ko lang napansin na marami na pala ang taong nakatitig sa amin. To think they were all running away earlier. "The Royal Guards are almost here, I have contacted them. For your safety, let us head back to the Academy with haste."

Nag-aalala nga talaga siya sa kalagayan ko kahit na kung titignan ay wala siyang lamang ekspresyon, or is it that his glasses are preventing me to see clearly? Anyway, I made my weapons quickly disappear and returned the man kneeling on the floor's heavy glares with a smile.

Hanggang sa nandito na nga ang mga Royal Guards, tinabi nila ang mga tao at dinakip ang mga walang malay na kalaban mula sa lupa. They were about to shove me away as well nang  makita nila ang Royal Insignia sa right chest part ng suot ko. They nervously bowed thei heads down habang ang iba ay pinosasan na ang lalaki.

"You must be from the Royal Court. We deeply apologize for our misconduct! However for a young lady to be in this scene is very dangerous." He said alarmingly.

Do they always just assume ladies are weak and fragile? May nagsabi bang mahina ang mga babae at kailangan talaga silang protektahan at unahin sa lahat ng bagay? Sure, we aren't close to perfection, but neither are men.

"Know your place! You are speaking to the future suc—"

"It's fine Raus." Salita ko sa kaniya, at agad naman siyang tumango. That action left the guard thinking for a moment pero unalis din naman matapos himingi ulit ng patawad sa akin.

Hindi nagtagal ay dinala na nila ang mga atake sa akin sa kung saan pwede nila silang ikulong matapos imbestigahan. Masasabi ko na halos lahat ng tao dito ay sinusuportahan ang hari, at isa naring kaalaman sa buong kaharian na walang planong ibigay ng hari ang trono sa nag-iisang anak nito na lalaki dahil nga sa propesiya.

Of course anyone would follow their prophecy dahil tradisyon na nila ito. I was also told by Andrei that some people do know the existence of Arkion Faction and for them, simply their existence alone is a sign of rebellion.

Pero walang plano si Kion na patayin ang sarili niyang ama or to forcefully take the throne for himself based on what Andrei had told me earlier. Their faction just exists to support Kion as the rightful future ruler if Zyrendel, not to do twisted things. Then here comes their 'other members', they may support Kion but they do not listen to him at all. Gagawin talaga nila ang lahat kahit pumatay pa para lamang mapabilis ang pagiging hari ni Kion, it's until then they will only listen.
