"Oh... so that's the founder of this school?" Aniya habang kumuha ng pirasong manok at kinain ito.

"Yes," maikling tugon ni Neo at inubos ang kanyang pagkain.

Natigilan naman si Winter at tiningnan nang makahulugan si Neo. Kumunot naman ang noo nito at nagtatanong ang mga mata.

"What?" Naguguluhang tanong ni Neo, hindi alam kung bakit kung makatitig sa kanya si Winter ay parang may gustong malaman ito.

"This school was founded on 1869, right?" Tanong ni Winter, tumango naman dito si Neo, "how come Luciefero Daemonicus still looks like a 50-year old? Hindi ba dapat nasa 151 years old na sya?" Tanong nya sa kaharap na unti-unti naman lumalaki ang mga mata.

"Right! Ngayon 'ko lang rin naisip 'yon. His skin should be wrinkled, and he shouldn't walk straight without even panting."

"Well, that's suspicious," nakakunot-noong saad ni Winter at inubos na rin ang pagkain nya.

Tumango naman dito si Neo, magsasalita palang sana sya nang biglang tumunog ang speaker na nasa cafeteria.

It created an awful sound making Winter put her hands over her ears, hoping to stop hearing it. But when she looked around, the students don't give a damn and they're just continuing what they're doing earlier. That's odd.

And after that, a creepy female voice began to speak from the installed speaker.

"Good afternoon, students. Transferees to be exact. I would like to inform you about the official orientation for you. Please proceed now to the auditorium and meet your fellow transferees there."

After hearing those, Neo stood up followed by Winter. They both went to the school's auditorium and entered inside. The auditorium is wide, it's interior is the same as the cinema. The lights are dim and all they can hear is murmurs from other people around here.There are many students here, waiting on what will happen next in this orientation.

After entering, the doors shut loudly making Neo startled and hide at Winter's back, "Such a pussy, Neo." Winter jokingly said.

"You wish," he said and stood firmly as he walked towards the vacant seat.

Umiiling na sumunod si Winer sa kaibigan at umupo sa bakanteng upuan katabi nito.

Nang bumukas ang ilaw ay bumulaga sa kanila ang isang babaeng balingkinitan ang katawan, maputi at mahaba ang buhok nito, sya'y nakatayo habang may hawak-hawak na mikropono.

"Greetings, I am Ms. Leslie Clevard, a dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and your emcee for today. I know you're all wondering why you're here right now and I know you have questions in your mind. But I'm afraid I won't be answering your questions for the mean time. Let's call on our beloved founder and school director, Sir Luciefero Daemonicus," pagkatapos ng mga katagang iyon ay may lumabas na isang lalaking tipid ang ngiti. He's wearing a formal attire, and smiled at Ms. Leslie who bowed her head.

Nagsitayuan naman ang mga estudyante na kanina'y nakaupo, sumunod naman dito si Winter at sabay-sabay nilang itinungo ang kanilang ulo bilang paggalang sa lalaking nasa kanilang harapan.

"Good," saad ng Daemonicus at lahat sila'y umupo.

Tumikhim muna ang Daemonicus bago magsalita na ikinataas ng mga kilay ni Winter, "I shall introduce myself for formality. I am Luciefero Daemonicus, the founder of this school since 1869. And the one who maintains the school's shape as it is."

Walang ni isang nagsalita ukol dito, lahat ay tahimik. Lahat ay nakatikom ang bibig.

Pinagmamasdan lamang ni Winter ang paggalaw nito at hindi nya mapigilang mamangha sapagkat malakas pa ang pangangatawan nito.

The Daemonicus roamed his eyes everywhere to meet the eyes of every student. Once they met each other's eyes, a wicked smile flashed again from the lips of him.
