Tale of Santuaria: Sunrise and Moonlight (UNEDITED)

CHAPTER 17

THE days flew by, and today is Friday.
Ang araw ng Levelling. Marami ang excited at ang iba naman ay kinakabahan, at ako?

Hmm, hindi naman ako nakararamdam ng kaba ngayon kaya relax lang,
ngayon ay nandito kami sa Battle Area kung saan gaganapin ang Levelling.

There are a lot of students, so the Battle Area has been leveled; it's very wide, about ten times the size of a human soccer field, and it's an oval shape full of Bermuda grass.

"Katana!" tawag sa 'kin ni Aw na kumakaway-kaway pa, nakita ko namang umirap si...Sca? What ever her name I don't care about her!

"Dito ka na ma-upo, Katana!" sabi ni Em sa paraang pasigaw dahil sa ingay dito sa Battle Area.

"Tara do'n tayo, Lin." Anyaya ko kay Lincy na mukhang nahihiya pa rin pero walang nagawa kun'di ang sumama.

There were still plenty of vacancies when we sat down on the bench next to the Guardians, and Almond, who was at the far end, moved next to me.

"Hey, Babe." Bati nito sa 'kin, tinaliman ko naman siya ng tingin kaya napalunok siya.

"I will punch you if you call me 'babe' again." Malamig at makapanindig balahibo kong turan na naging dahilan para bumalik ito sa kina-uupuan niya kanina. Tumawa naman ang lahat liban lang do'n sa bitch at sa nagmamay-ari ng mala-abong mga mata.

"Iba ka talaga, Katana!" pahiyaw na wika ni Aw. Ano pa nga bang bago?

"HAHA ang epic ng hitsura ni Almond. Iyan ang napapala mo, babaero ka kasi!" Tawang-tawang komento ni Em, napangiti na lamang ako dahil ngayon ko lamang ito makitang tumawa ng ganiyan.

"Umpisahan na natin ang Levelling, let's start with the Guardians. Remember, whether you win or lose is entirely up to your score," anunsiyo ni Headmistress na nasa gitna at mayro'ng floating stage. Umayos na ako ng upo dahil mag-uumpisa na ang laban. "You will receive or feel pain while inside the barrier, but the wounds you received will vanish once you exit." Paliwanag pa nito, namamangha naman ako dahil sa barrier na 'yon.

May gano'n pala?

Sabagay ano pa nga ba'ng nakapagtataka ro'n, nasa Santuaria ako anyway.

"Alam mo ba-" Hindi na ituloy ni Em ang sasabihin niya ng mag salita ako.

"Hindi." She winced as a result of what I said but continued to say what she was going to say; she was actually sitting next to me, having switched seats with Lincy earlier.

"Napakatibay ng barrier na ginawa ni Headmistress dahil wala pang kahit na sino ang nakatitibag d'yan kahit kaming mga guardians ay hindi magawang sirain iyan kaya safe na safe iyan." Pagbibigay alam nito sa 'kin, tumango lamang ako sa pahayag niya. Well, let's see mamaya kung talagang nga matibay.

"The Guardian of the Light Element will be the first to fight." Pagkasabi n'on ni Headmistress ay agad na tumayo si Aw na seryosong-seryoso ang mukha. Aba! Talaga ngang tumitino siya kapag may labanan ah.

What will happen is that she will confront the thing she was afraid of, kung ang dating paraan ng levelling ay pinaglalaban ang mga estudyante, now it is said that you will fight your fear, however, I believe that fighting your fear is more difficult than fighting your classmates.

So it's already on its way to. She stayed on the field for a few seconds before revealing what she was afraid of. I was surprised to know that the creature she was afraid of was a clown.
