Alzacar Academy

Chapter Nine

Flag

We gathered around the arena. Ngayon magaganap ang group training. This isn't just a group training, it's also a challenge. It consist of six members to create a group. I hope I could group into any of my friends. Lupitha told me this is kind a difficult for average excels like her.

A middle aged man was standing on the platform of the arena. He's Mr. Remus Malfas under supervision of the group training. His hair is colored chestnut brown with dull gray eyes and his face is already a bit wrinkly. He's wearing an intimidating face like the typical middle aged man. May malapad na mesa sa harap niya. The table has a different small flags with different colors on them. It's distracting because of its aesthetic colors.

"Cadets! Listen up." he began. "Today's training is within groups. These flags here will be one of your team's flag. The crucial in this training activity will help you to have teamwork, listening to one's opinion, strategies and critical planning that will help you in the future." he explained.

Everyone in this arena have gone silent. We are all listening attentively. I can tell that they're pondering about who's team they will be in.

"Now, the mechanics for this training is the selected teams will have to race to the mystique falls where you put your team's flag. The flag holder only have fifty slots for the first group training and the flag holder slot will be less in the next training. And if your flags have been stolen by other groups, your team is eliminated from the challenge. So frankly, fight for your flags to avoid be swiped by other competitave groups. There will be no allowed weapons in this training. You can apply your combat skills to fight." he instructed.

Sa gilid niya ay ang mga trainor at ang mismong Head Mistress Peregrine. May mga staff din ang nasa platform na nakamonitor sa mga computers at holowall technologies.

"Kinakabahan ako.. " wika ni Lupitha.

Nakatuon lang ang atensyon ko sa harapan.

"After one minute there should be a number appeared on your screen presenting your group number," he said.

As I calculated, there are 500 first year students in the academy. 100 of them are belong to the medics and scientist. So, there are expected 83 groups. May dalawang estudyante ang natira kaya may dalawang team na pito ang members.

Sandali lang ay umilaw ang kanya-kanyang screen namin. I saw other's screen who's numbers are 46, 21 and more. My screen lit up and the 83 number appeared on my screen. Lupitha's number is 34 while Lunarex is 18.

"When you received the number, find your groups to gather up."

I'll have to agree with Lupitha. This training is nerve wracking. Sana hindi ko makagrupo si Calloway o maski ang mga excels na hindi ko kilala. While I was gripping my screen, I tilted my head to looked for my team but it's impossible when the bustling students are roaming around. Wala sa sariling inangat ko ang aking screen. I held it up to the sky and wave it slowly as I walk to the ocean of students.

Until, I gaze the number 83 up in the air. Five of them are waving it too. Hindi ko pa masyadong kita ang itsura nila dahil sa mga estudyante, hanggang sa 'di ko inaasahan ay ang mukha ni Reyda ang nakita ko habang papalapit sa kanila. When the crowd cleared up bumungad ang mukha ni Vasha, Dian at ang isang babae't lalaki na hindi ko kilala.

Reyda and I both frozed when I went to them. Pero kahit papano ay kagrupo ko si Dian at maswerte parin ako. Sinulyapan ko ang dalawang estudyante na ngayon ko lang nakita.

A black haired female with gray eyes, thick lashes and slightly thin high brows. Basically speaking, she is gorgeous. In her left side is a fair guy with soft black hair with topaz blue eyes wearing a serious blank face.
