Mystique 14

The examination day came. Everybody seems nervous while taking the exam especially for those new comers.

Some of them are sweating. The exam is hard. Well, what would you expect from a prestigious school? Excellence.

Only few were confident to answer.

They are in a exam room. A room which is filled with magic that no one would bother to cheat. Ten school staffs to guard. The staffs assured that no cheating will happen.

The exam room is used every first examination. Palagi itong ginagamit sa entrance exam.

Chairs are four meters apart from one another. And once you are seated you can't see your fellow students. An illusion magic.

They were given 8 hours to finish the exam. 4 hours in the morning, 8-11. An hour break and the following subjects will be taken after.

Mystique find the exam easy. Perks of reading almost all of the books in the library. She excitedly took the exam with no hassle. Others are barely breathing just by reading the questionnaire.

Mystique stood up from her chair. Hindi naman niya naabala ang mga ibang estudyante dahil nasa loob sila ng ilusyon. Nagtaka naman ang mga guro na nagbabantay.

Lumayo siya sa kaniyang upuan. Kaagad na nawala ang ilusyon at nakikita niya na ang mga guro at estudyante na naroon.

Tumungo siya sa harapan sa kung saan naroon and guro na naitala para magbatay.

Tumayo ang guro. "Yes, Miss? How may I help you?" Tanong nito. She smiled sweetly. She look like in her late 30's with a warming smile.

Inilahad ni Mystique ang kaniyang test paper. " Ma'am, I'm done."

"Are you sure? It's just been an hour since we started." Pahayag ng guro. Nagulat ito sa sinabi ni Mystique.

" Yes." Siguradong sagot ni Myst.

"Well, you still have a lot of time to review. Recheck your answers, perhaps?"

" No need." Dahil sa sagot ni Mystique ay kinuha na ng guro ang papel nito kahit gulat.

Lumabas na si Mystique sa silid at bunalik na lang sa dorm para magpahinga.

Ang guro ay nanatiling nakatayo at gulat. Ang ibang staff ay lumapit sa guro para malaman kung ano ang nangyari. Sinabi naman ng guro.

Someone from the staffs recommended to check the papers using the machine beside the teacher.

Ginawa nila iyon. The machine examine the papers. After 2 minutes the result is out. They were bewildered by it. They can't believe a student can finish the exam for an hour and she got a perfect score.

Dahil hindi makapaniwala ang lahat sa resulta, sumailalalim ito ng limang beses sa checking machine. Hindi nagbago ang resulta. Akala nila na sira ang machine kaya pinatawag nila ang mekaniko.

Dumating naman ang mekaniko at wala itong makitang problema. Nagpatawag sila ng isang witch na guro. Katulad ng sabi ng mekaniko ay wala ring pandadayang naganap.
