Against the God: End of the Gifteds (HIATUS)

19

[3RD POV]

It was quite a busy today at the Solar Academy, it's not an ordinary day— not a normal one. The word spreads fast, and just in a snap, with two words, their normal day turned into a big event.

Code Red.

Halos lahat ng estudyante sa paaralan ay narinig na ang balitang pinakalat ng mga opisyales. Alam nila ang ibig sabihin n'on. It's a serious case.

Guilds are instructed to stop accepting and doing missions, and those who are on their missions are ordered to come back as soon as possible.

Hindi rin magtatagal, magsisimula ng magpulong-pulong ang mga guild masters kasama ang mga Principal ng iba't ibang paaralan. Hinihintay na lang na magtipon-tipon ang lahat.

Sa kabila ng mga estudyante sa paaralan na sunod-sunod ang mga tungkulin, nabubukod tangi ang isang grupo sa loob ng paaralan na nakatayo— naghihintay.

Unlike the students who are worried because of the code red, at this very moment, they are more worried for their lives.

All of the Grim Reapers except from Gin and the rookies, their Principal, the Principal of Solar Academy, and a little girl. Nasa loob sila ng isang inside field sa loob mismo ng paaralan. Maliban sa kanila, ang ibang opisyales ay agaran ng umalis sa paaralan para gawin ang mga tungkulin na kailangan nilang gawin.

Even Principal Helena has things to do herself too, but she just can't bring herself to leave, knowing that her students are about to risk their lives at this moment.

"Nervous?" August glanced at the guy next to her. Nakapaninibago ang ginagawa. Kanina pa siya tahimik.

Nahinto sa pagkatulala si Zeldrick sa tanong niya. He faked a chuckle before looking back at August. "Nah, I'm just thinking." Patagong humigpit ang pagkasasara ng kamao niya. "This mission... it should be successful no matter what."

Napabuntong-hininga si August sa narinig. "Yeah, but make sure that you'll make it out alive." Mariing sagot niya.

"Don't be pressured." Pagsali ng isang boses. Parehong napatingin si August at Zeldrick sa batang babaeng dumaan. Nakapaninibago rin ang ekspresyon na meron lagi si Principal Helena no'ng mga nakaraang araw.

She always has a straight expression... cold and serious.

"I'm telling you this, I-won't-give-a-damn, if you didn't managed to get that ring. Just make sure, MAKE SURE, in five seconds, you'll come back, with or WITHOUT the ring."

Seryosong tinapunan ng tingin ng principal ang mga estudyante niya. With those words, it's enough to make Zeldrick a little better. He flashed a smile, thinking.

'With you saying that, makes me feel that I should be successful no matter in getting that ring.'

"Tsk, but make sure to still get that ring tho." Pagsali pa ulit ng isang batang babae na nakakuha ng mga atensyon nila.

Hindi maipinta ang mukha ni Joker habang nakatingin kay Zeldrick. Isa siya sa mga kasama sa pagpunta sa UA headquarters.

"I'm risking my life here you know, MY LIFE." Tinuro-turo niya ang sarili niya. "Compare to you guys, after hers, my life is more important!"

"So make sure to get that damn ring!" Umirap si Joker. Nalipat ang tingin niya sa paligid at doon niya napansin na kulang pa ang sasama sa kanila.

Nakasimangot at kunot noo siyang nagsalita. "The Lust guy, where the heck is he?" Inis niyang sambit.

While waiting at the field, the person they're waiting for is still inside of the academy— together with his co-guild members. Unlike the others who are also inside the open field, his team can't see him go...
