Blaire Maniego's Point of View

"So...how did humans inherit traits and abilities through the genes and the evolution?" tanong sa amin ng aming guro. Tumingin siya sa amin, but no one dared to answer the question.

Ang guro namin ngayon ay isang Centaur. Isang kalahating tao, at kalahatong kabayo.

"According to the studies of experts in this field, evolutionary genetics, or how genes of DNA change over time as a result of evolution," pinutol niya ang sasabihin niya, saka siya huminto sa gitna sa harapan.

"So a change in an organism's DNA can cause changes in all aspects of its life. Mutations are essential to evolution; they are the raw material of genetic variation. Without mutation, evolution could not occur."

"These gene-carrying structures form the basis of the traits that each person inherits from his or her parents, or from something that can cause your genes to change, like, experiments and such," sambit niya. Napa-tango naman ako sa sinabi niya.

"Some evolves by their own that is called natural evolution, some evolves by genes and experimental evolutions. The first abilities that appeared is the most basic ones that evolves to something different. That evolves to a dangerous one. Enhanced senses, spell casting, elements, and sub-elements. Pati na rin 'yong ibang dangerous types, like you, guys. So basically, the dangerous types are those who have a natural evolution."

"Some evolves in natural evolution by an accident. Some evolves by something different or unfamilliar. For example, a car hit you. A car is a vehicle in the mortal world. And your brain and genes will rewire itself. You will develop enhanced senses. And, that is proven. And like, for example, the first user of thunder evolves noong natamaan siya ng kidlat. Pero wala nang holder ng thunder ngayon. Maybe, someday. Namatay kasi ang holder nito during the haunting of ability users sa mundo ng mga tao," sambit niyang muli. So, kaming Class S, our parents or ninuno ay natural? And...we are a pure blood magic user?

"So, the first magic evolution of ordinary to extra-ordinary humans started at Greece. Hanggang sa kumalat ito sa buong mundo. At nang malaman ng mga tao ang tungkol rito, nag-selos sila. At naging isang mapanganib na lugar ang mundo ng mga tao. Dahil tayo, hinahanap nila tayo, at saka pinapahirapan. At doon ay naisipan ng mga naunang council o nakaka-taas na gumawa ng panibagong mundo. At ito na iyon. Ang mundo ng mahika na kinagisnan natin ngayon," dugtong niyang muli. Matagal ko na rin namang alam 'yang history na 'yan. Hmm.

Mayamaya lang ay tumunog na ang bell. Hudyat na tapos na ang klase sa araw na ito. Marami rin naman akong natutunan, pero mostly sa nilesson ngayon, alam ko na. Medyo nakaka-lito lang 'yong evolution namin.

There are two types of magic users. Natural and 'yong isa naman ay ang mga taong pinag-eksperimentuhan.

And...we belong to the natural evolution. Some of Class A, nabi-belong rin siguro sa natural, but, I guess, they are not a pure blood. You have to be pure blooded natural magic user of natural evolution to have a dangerous power. Ganoon rin sa iba pang mga class ng kapangyarihan at ng mga houses.

After this class, wala naman na rin kaming klase. Ano naman kaya ang magandang gawin? Hmm.

Nag-bell na ang school bell after how many minutes at saka nag-paalam ang aming guro. So we immediately get out of the room too. And naglalakad kami sa ngayon sa gitna ng mahabang pasilyo. Marami na ring estudyante dito. Too crowded, pero sanay na ako sa ganitong klaseng lugar sa Nevania.
