Brechmos Academy: School For The Lost

CHAPTER 2

"Brechmos Academy was made not just to rescue people from the plague outside the island, but more specifically to accommodate the effects caused by the plague to people who weren't the same after that."

Pumaulit-ulit sa tenga ko ang mga sinabi ni Doctor Jeremiah sa amin kanina.

Nakakapit sa palapulsuhang may mga numero, pakiramdam ko ay mabibingi ako sa katahimikan habang naglalakad kaming apat sa isang makipot na hallway.

Katulad ito ng halos lahat ng napasukan kong gusali. Glass, metal, white walls, synthetic smelling air. But this time, I can't stop the rapid beats of my heart. This specific place feels more intimidating.

"1120, to LAB 41A." Dumagundong sa hallway ang boses ng gwardiya na siyang gumigiya sa amin patungo sa pagdadausan umano ng huling test namin.

Napatingin kaming lahat sa babaeng humakbang palapit sa pintuan na may LAB 41A na nakasulat. I noticed how she's gripping her khaki shorts in anxiety.

Hindi ko rin maiwasang kabahan muli. We don't know what's happening. We don't know what has happened and now we don't know what's going to happen. Kung ano ang mga susunod na kabanata para sa amin dito.

"1114, to LAB 42A." tawag na naman ng gwardiya sa isa pa. At katulad ng nauna, pumwesto siya sa harap ng pintong sinasabi ng huli. I breathed out.

"1126, LAB 43A."

"A-ano ang gagawin namin sa loob?" Lakas loob na tanong na naman ng lalaking kasama namin. He looked as nervous as every single one of us, but I can see that he's trying to hold it together.

Hindi ko rin maiwasang mapatingin at maghintay sa sagot ng gwardiya.

"You will undergo some test. A final scanning."

"F-for what? Hindi pa ba kami okay?" tanong na rin ng babaeng 1114 ang numero. The four of us are looking at the guard now.

"To know what your rarus is. Kung ano ang ability na mayroon kayo matapos niyong ma mutate dahil sa virus." Natigilan kaming lahat at natahimik.

Ability? Mutate? Naikiskis ko na naman ang mga daliri sa numerong nasa pulsuhan kong namumula.

"Enough with the questions. Malalaman niyo rin ang lahat matapos nito. Now, 1129, to LAB 44A." He dismissed us at the same time pushed at some button on the side.

Napahigit ako ng hininga bago humakbang sa harap ng metal na pinto na may LAB 44A na nakasulat. I touched my chest and swallowed. I suddenly don't know how to breathe.

"A doctor will facilitate the test inside. Follow their instructions and you will be in the orientation room after this."

Sabay na bumukas ang mga pinto sa harap namin, making a hissing sound in the area. Agad na bumulwak ang malamig na hangin sa katawan ko nang humakbang ako papasok sa kwarto.

The room was dimly lit and empty, except for a glass tube in the middle and a small table on the side. Napatingin tingin ako sa paligid nang wala na akong makitang iba.

I suddenly turned around when the hissing sound of the door resonated in the room. Napalunok ako nang tuluyang nagsara ang pinto, locking me inside this almost empty laboratory.

"H-hello?"

"Student 1129. Amalie Lucy Prescott."

Napaharap ako nang may mabining boses na pumuno sa kwarto. I was welcomed by almost the same hazel eyes I just saw a couple of minutes ago. But she's a short woman with a shoulder length brown hair with eyeglasses. At katulad ni Doctor Jeremiah, hindi ang parehong pakiramdam ng pagiging pormal at seryoso ang nararamdaman ko sa kaniya. She feels... warm.
