Magnus Academy: The Cursed Blood

Chapter Nineteen

Rescue Mission

Kasalanan ko ba na hindi ako nasaktan? It's not my problem to worry about all of their time you know. Finals to, this is not a group competition. Nagpalabas ang partner ko ng toxic gasses that choke all of them and knocked them out unconscious. Nagtatakang nakaharap sa akin yung partner ko daw na lalake.

"W-why aren't you unconscious yet?" Gulat niyang tanong.

I took my ring off earlier. I can feel everyone's emotions in this room kahit malayo pa sila sa akin. I figured it out. Emotions give me spiritual energies, and I also give off those energies while I'm sensing others feelings. It's like a cycle. Kaya kahit anong lakas ng ability niya, my spiritual energy wouldn't be drained that easily. I can last longer than him.

"You were lying. Maaapektohan kadin ng sarili mong toxic gasses, that's the reason you wore that mask in the first place. At alam ko narin ang balak mo simula palang." Haler. Hindi ako tanga no.

Napaluhod siya sa sahig dahil hindi niya na nakayanan ang toxic sa hangin. It's draining off anyone's spiritual energies. Mr. Grim said it himself. The whole House of Albion is sealed from the outisde. Kaya kahit anong gamit ng ability mo, hanggang dito lang yun sa loob. That's why I was able to take the ring off without fearing the emotions of hundreds pf people outside watching us right now.

He tried to use all his remaining energy to create a powerful tornado. Pero dumaan lang ito sa akin. Right now, I'm the most powerful in this room. With all their emotions surging into mine, wala silang magagawa. Because their own emotions are fueling my spiritual energy.

"What...the hell...is with you?.." tapos natumba siya sa lupa. Unconscious.

Pumatong na ako dun sa may bilog na naging maliit na bilog na stage. Umangat ito and before I knew it, nasa third floor na ako. There at the corner, may isang susi. Malaki ito na kasing laki ng kamay mo akd it was pure gold. Kukunin ko na sana ang susi when I suddenly jumped backward dahil naramdaman ko na may parating mula sa likuran ko.

Isang babae. Paano siya nakapunta dito? Lumapit siya sa akin at sa akin tinuon ang espada niya. Ibababa niya na sana pero sinalo ko ito gamit ang kamay ko. She's angry for some reasons. Sino ba siya—ah! Siya yung babae kanina. She was the one with the ability to create barrier. Galit siya sa akin. I can feel it. Nakita niya siguro na ako ang may kagagawan ng ginawa ko sa kanila ng kaibigan niya. But she already disappeared.

No. Hindi pala. She used the barrier to conceal herself. She didn't go for the key and instead went after me. Kung kinuha niya nalang kaya ang susi. Tumutulo ang dugo mula sa kaliwa kong kamay. Ang hapdi nito. Nakita ko naman na unti-unting nababawasan ng ten minutes ang time niya. Hanggang sa naging ten minutes nalang at umatras na siya. Ngayon niya lang naalala ang most important rule.

"Because of you....hindi na siya mananalo."

"Sorry to say this but I don't give a damn about what the hell is your problem." Mas nagalit siya sa sinabi ko. Nice. Let your emotions grow stronger. And let me borrow it for a moment as an energy.

Tinapon niya ang espada niya sa akin pero nasalo ko ito. I grabbed the sword and used it against her. Sa kaniya ko tinuon ang espada niya. Na miss ko magkaroon ng sarili kong espada. I thrusted myself on her at mukhang nagukat siya pero nakagawa siya ng barrier.

"Your life force will get drained kung gagamitin mo ang weapon na hindi sayo! Baliw ka ba?!" Ang spiritual energy at ang life force ay parang pareho narin pero hindi. Life forces is what generate your spiritual energy. Let's just say it as that. Ang birap mag explain. Basta kung mawalan ka ng life force mamamatay ka dahil hindi na ito makaka generate ng spiritual eneegy.
