Chapter 36: Warriors Assembly

"LET'S JUST hope and pray that the plan will succeed." said the tall, dark, muscled man who introduced to us lately as Herald, the King during their batch.

"It will." saad naman ng babaeng wavy ang buhok. Her name is Jessa, the Knight. Her physical appearance reminded me of Mami V.

Nasa loob kami ng tahanan ni Master Wilhelm. After the shock and the introduction that happened as they saw him, we proceeded to our plan. I still cannot fully process that my parents—and their colleagues—were here to help us. I was very surprised.

My mother already explained to me everything that happened a few hours ago. The faces of my parents' colleagues are somewhat familiar to us because Ms. Alyssa showed us their pictures during our history class.

"But we need weapons. We cannot just attack to the Shah House and dethrone Herod by just using our bare hands. The guards and committees there are fully equipped." Shiania interrupted. Her hair is shoulder-lengthed that suites her very well. As what they said, she was the Queen.

Kanina pa sila ang laging nagsasalita. Halos umawang lang ang mga bibig namin dahil sa pagfi-fill-in nila ng mga loopholes ng plano namin. Yes, I was the one who give the plan which is to attack the Shah House while Master Wilhelm told them on where to go first, ano ang mga dapat naming bantayan and such. But these legendary warriors introduced us the process. The more detailed plan towards our invasion.

"I agree. Hindi man tayo nakapunta sa Shah House, but a hundred percent sure that they are always prepared if there is any unnecessary movement happens." my mother seconded. Silang lima ay nakaupo sa kama habang kami namang siyam ay nakatayo lang sa gilid nila. Nasa harapan naman namin si Master Wilhelm na nakaupo sa upuang kahoy.

I heard Sir Jessie cleared his throat. "Chaturanga Academy." he said and we all looked at him with a puzzled expression. "One week pa lang ang lumipas matapos ang game. And Sir Herald, Miss Jessa and Miss Shiania knew that the weapons for training purposes are still at the Academy since wala pang isang buwan."

Sir Jessie, Ms. Alyssa and Ms. Paz mentioned to us that they are their teachers during their time.

"So you mean..."

"We will get weapons from the Chaturanga Academy?" my father finished my question.

Sir Jessie smiled while nodding his head. Para namang kumislap lahat ng mga mata ng kasamahan ko ngayon dahil sa idea ni Sir Jessie.

"But can you manage to get those weapons?" Master Wilhelm asked at parang biglang bumigat ulit ang atmosphere. Napatungo si Sir Jessie na para bang nag-iisip.

"The walls of the Academy is high enough for the possible invaders. We also don't have the key." saad ni Ms. Alyssa. Her voice seemed so low.

"If so how can—"

I cut Josh's words short dahil biglang may sumagi sa isipan ko! "At the back portion." saad ko. That's it. "We can get inside the Academy through the back portion. The wall there is not too high. May tali din doon para mapag-akyatan."

I swallowed the lump on my throat. That reminds me of Wawa... As what I remember, he didn't pull out the rope so maybe that rope na ginamit kong pang-akyat ay nandoon pa.

Bumalik na naman sa pagiging light ang atmosphere matapos kong sabihin iyon. And then Sir Jessie, Josh, James, Benedict and Ren volunteered to be the invaders of the Academy to get the weapons since too many may look suspicious.
