𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 1: Roommate
WHEN I finally arrived at the academy, there were students who were keep shouting and waiting for the other students to enter
ingay nila ang sumalubong sa akin nang ako'y makapasok ng akademya. Ang iba ay mahahalatang Galing sa Marangyang Pamilya katulad ko. Gustuhin ko man makipagkilala ay hindi ko maaring gawin dahil sa hindi nila puwedeng malaman na ako ay nasa iisang lugar kasama nila
Wearing my Uniform, I noticed something from the right side of my arm, a letter 'C' badge that made with copper—placed on the left side of the uniform
I also noticed that every students also have the same badge on their uniforms, the others are mostly 'A' and 'B' and haven't yet encountered Someone similar to mine
this academy only have Four section, they separate students according to their Magic and phsical abilities
"Look, is that prince Viqrax ?" Isang babae ang sumigaw dahil sa taong kakapasok lang ng entrance ng akademya
Out of curiosity, I turned my gaze into them. A tall man with blue hair entered the entrance of the school. He seemed different from other students because of his uniform; it is white and gold on the side part. There's an 'S' badge that is made of gold on his uniform
He's too easy to noticed because of his uniform, Halos lahat ng estudyante na nandito ngayon ay Kulay berde ang Uniporme, tanging Badge lamang ang pinagkakaiba
Namamanghang sinundan siya nang tingin ng mga babaeng nakapaligid sa kaniya
"good morning everyone" pagbibigay niya ng pansin sa mga nakapaligid
"G-goodmorning Prince Vaqrix"
'prince Vaqrix, How is that you always looks so great?'
'hindi ako magsasawang tignan ka'
'Marry me, my Prince'
Dinig ko sa kanilang mga isip. Ang ilang lalaki ay masama na ngayon ang tingin sa kaniya. Maybe because of jealousy
sinubukan ko basahin ang iniisip ng lalaking ito ngunit wala akong Madinig na kahit isang letra sa kaniyang isip, even my magic Detection is no use
I didn't expect this. He's surely no ordinary magician, Only few magicians can block The clairaudience and telepathy skills
My father is always blocking mind reading skills that's why I can't tell what he was always thinking
'This isn't time to think about it right now' my unconscious mind told me
I decided to head to the dean's office. I went through the hallway where only a few were passing by, I just kept walking and was momentarily stopped when i heard someone shouted
"—Why are you even here?! There's no room for a low-class magician like you here. You've disgraced our family name" Boses ng lalaki ang aking nadidinig
"You're wrong about that. I'll show you, i'll reach Class S right awa—
"It's pointless, You will never reach Class S. You really are disobedient little sister "
Puwede naman ako lumabas mula sa aking pinagkakataguan at dumaan na parang walang nadinig ngunit mas lalo lamang ako pagdududahan
"wait.." Suddenly he stopped speaking and began to walk— With its sound growing louder, i expected him going in my direction
Instinctively, i Used my Invisibility magic and hide
'i forgot to hide my magic aura'
Magic Aura is kind of magic that will Define your ability as a magician. The larger your Aura, The stronger your magic is. Magic aura is also used to locate your presence.
"Big bro.." Halos nasa harapan ko na ngayon ang dalawa
I used my Divination magic to gain information about these two. The names were Ruby Grace Gautreux and Rogue Jade Gautreux. Rogue is at level 100 with metal manipulator magic while his sister is at Level 64 with Wind bending magic
Kung babalikan ko ang pinag-uusapan nila kanina, masasabi ko na mukhang malayo talaga para sa dalaga ang maabot ang antas na kapareho ng kaniyang kapatid
Rogue stopped looking for my presence and turned his attention back to his sister "don't come near me and talk to me again. I don't want them to know that I have a sister with a low-level of magic" without looking back, he left. his sister also left after him and went in a different path, probably because of what her brother had just said
Sinigurado ko munang nakalayo na siya bago ako nagpatuloy sa paglalakad, nang makarating sa nasabing kwarto ay inilagay ko muna ang Password. bumukas ito at bumungad sa akin ang isang babaeng nasa mid 20's ang edad at isang pamilyar na bulto
Napalingon sila sa aking gawi at ang lalaki naman ay lumuhod sa aking harapan "it's been a while, Master Slade"
it was Venno, My butler. He used to be a holy knight before he became my butler
If my memory was still clear. That time, he was almost attacked by Dark bandit from underworld so I saved him. I was shocked the day after that he was already in front of my father and swore that he was ready to face even death just to protect me
I turned my attention back to the two of them, The Woman stood up and quickly approached me
I was surprised when she suddenly gave me a tight hug "You've sure grown a lot, Slade. I'm Scarlet aliseul, Your auntie" She smiled at me
"Auntie?"
Never heard of that
"Right, I'm your mom's little sister"
putting her aside, I looked at my butler "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to obey the king's order"
"what was that?"
"I'm afraid I can't tell you about it right now, Master slade"
Hindi ko talaga malalaman kung ano ang iniisip ng aking ama. Hindi din gagana kung babasahin ko ang kaniyang iniisip
"Gusto mo ilibot kita sa buong Eskwelahan?" I shook my head in response
suddenly, A hologram appeared in front of us—A Hologram of my father still sitting on his throne
"Yo, Scarlet. How's the academy?"
"The academy is fine by now. Thanks to your magic barrier, the Outsiders can't even step their foot here"
humalakhak ang aking ama at tumingin sa aking gawi "Nahanap mo na ba ang pinapahanap ko?"
"Paano ko mahahanap kung ni isang clue tungkol sa kanila ay hindi niyo maibigay sa akin? I'm sure i can find Them by just knowing their names with my Clairvoyance in an instant"
But my father is aware of that, that is why he can't give me their names
"I can only give you one clue—You've already found the first woman"
"What?! I mean... Who?!" Hindi niya pinansin ang aking tanong sapagkat ay itinuon muli ang atensiyon sa Dean
Nagpaalam ang aking ama matapos nito at isinama ang aking butler sa pamamagitan ng Teleportation kaya kaming dalawa ng Dean ang natira sa iisang kwarto na ito ngayon
"Aunt Scarlet"
Lumingon siya sa aking gawi"Yes?"
"Did you get what my father said?"
"beats me" nagtungo siya pabalik sa kaniyang puwesto at pinaikot ang swivel chair na kaniyang inuupuan
Nang tumigil siya sa pag ikot at May ibinigay siyang susi sa akin "your dorm number Is 14. Our Classes will start tommorow so Be sure to have Enough sleep"
after that, i left the Dean's office.
BINUKSAN ko ang pintuan ng aking Kwarto at agad itong ini-lock nang ako'y makapasok, sakto lamang ang laki ng kwarto kahit na mas malaki pa dito ang Kwarto ko sa palasyo
Kinuha ko ang aking gamit sa aking [Magic storage] at isa isang inilagay sa kaniya-kaniyang puwesto, Habang nag aayos ay may napansin akong isa pang kama malayo sa pwesto ng akin
hindi nabanggit sa akin ng dean na may Roommate pala ako. Kumuha ako ng tuwalya at pumasok ng banyo upang maligo
sa pagkaka-alam ko. Suportado ng aking ama kasama at ng iba pang hari ang eskwelahan na ito , kaya bakit hindi pa rin sila makapag-pagawa ng tag-iisang kwarto para sa mga estudyante gayong Kakaunti lamang ang nakakapasa dito
ilang minuto lamang ako sa banyo ay nakadinig ako ng tunog nang pagbukas ng pinto, sa oras na iyon ay inisip ko na ang roommate ko na siguro iyon kaya nagbalabal ako ng tuwalya at lumabas
'I guess he wouldn't mind if he saw me half-naked, i'll be just greeting him'
Lumabas ako ng banyo at laking gulat ko ng biglang isang babae ang bumungad sa aking harapan
bigla kong Tinakpan ang katawan at sumigaw "PERVERT!"
"Linya ko dapat iyan" hindi man lang nagbago ang emosyon ng dalaga
Ang inaasahan ko ay sisigaw siya pero mukhang ako ata ang napasigaw dahil sa gulat
i recognize her, she's the woman yesterday but i can't remember her name
'What was her name again? Crimsy? Crimmy? Cromson?'
"Why are you here at my room? Don't tell me.. you're trying to have peep on me bathing?"
"Not A chance. This was the room that dean's gave me. i could ask you the same thing!"
"Well, you see, this also the room th—Anyway, why is that a girl is my roommate?"
"...." Bigla niyang inilapag Ang kaniyang dalang maleta at isa isa na ding inilagay Ang kaniyang mga gamit
She didn't bother to answer my question and Ignored me And arranged her stuff as if I wasn't here.
I don't know what she was thinking at this time so I tried to read her mind
'W-WHAT should I do?! A man and woman shouldn't Be in a room alone'
Acting tough, huh. I went after her and whispered "hey..it's only the two of us. You know.." as I reached behind her back
"!..Fwah!!" She was startled. She took a big step away from me then raised her hand in the air—•A very long, broad, jagged blade made of obsidian, held by a grip wrapped in ordinary, red shark skin Sword appeared on her palm
"WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING TO DO?!"
Seemed like my plan Backfired me
"Gumawa ka pa ng isang hakbang, sisiguraduhin kong mahahati ang iyong katawan sa dalawa" the sword she was pointing at me was called Laevatein, a sword that only Vampires Can weld.
"H-hey..Calm down"
Sa takot na mahati ay Tumigil ako sa paghakbang papalapit sa kaniya at lumiko ng direksyon papuntang banyo
another sacred weapon...Sa oras na ito napag isip isip ko Hindi naman pala ganon kasama ang magpunta sa eskwelahang ito
ilang minuto lamang ay natapos na ako sa loob ng banyo. Napagawi ang tingin ko sa dalagang nakaupo sa kaniyang Kama at nakaharap sa pader. Nakasuot ito ng jacket at long sleeves habang Nagtalukbong pa sa kumot
What is she doing?
"I-i'd confirmed just now. you're really my roommate, But why? I would prefer a student from the elite ten to be my roommate" nakatalikod ang dalaga sa akin kaya ang iniisip ko ay kinakausap Niya ang nasa harapan na pader. Ilang segundo ang lumipas Ngunit walang natatanggap na reply ang dalaga mula sa pader
"Who are you talking to? Is that Wall can even talk?"
"I am talking to you! also, don't talk to me so casually like we're friends. I'm Crimson Blood, a noble of The Blood kingdom. I don't have time to entertain low-class Magicians"
Binaliwala ko ang kaniyang sinabi at Itinuon sa iba ang atensyon, tinignan ko ang labas ng bintana kung saan tanaw Ang Bilog na buwan
"—Y! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!?"
Ibinalik ko ang tingin sa kaniya "yeah. About me being your roommate, Isn't it? what was this 'elite ten' you are talking about?" I'm curious about that since I never heard about it even outside of the academy
"Huh!? You.... Didn't you also take the entrance exam?"
Sa pagkabanggit niya nito ay bigla Kong naisip na Hindi ako nag-take ng exam "A-ah! Y-yeah. Masyado akong focus para makapasa sa entrance exam kaya Hindi ko alam ang nangyayari sa kapaligiran"
Kung sakali man na nagpunta ako nung araw na iyon, Hindi sana ako nasa Posisyon na ito ngayon Kung Saan Tinatawag akong isang low-class magician, The worst one, Weak, or so on.
"This Noxonia academy, covers 4 sections. Academics, Swordsmanship, and Magic Enhancement. It provides a first rate education in every field. But even among the elite there are those chosen to stand above. They're the special group of students known as 'Elite ten' or students from the class S. A student can become one of these super-elite by earning Student points "
Tumigil siya sa pagsasalita at seryosong tumitig sa aking mga mata
"Kung gayon ay inaasahan ko ng malalakas sila"
She looked at me with a serious expression "Right. Kaya ngayon pa lang umalis ka na sa Eskwelahan na ito dahil Wala Kang tiyansa na maabot Ang section na Iyon"
"We wouldn't know until I fight it out" class s students, huh. I want to meet them.
