Phoenix Academy

Chapter 26

Georgia Kaye Alas' Point of View

The Blood Fest was successfully delayed and our plan worked. Isang taon na ang nakalilipas, at hindi pa muli nagpaparamdam nang ganoon si Phoenicia. If she would, it would be stealing some of our students, or just do a little harm. But it wasn't an all-out war, they're waiting for the next blood eclipse.

Sa isang buong taon na 'yon , simula nang magising si Phoenicia at mawala si Eris, mas naging matindi ang training naming mga Phoenicians. Various trainings, deeper learning, and situational combats. Everyone was put to the S class level. At kahit na mahirap para sa 'di kagalingan, naintindihan nila 'yon at nagpursigi. Even I had discovered more of my potential.

"Order!" Maawtoridad na sigaw ni Highness Althea sa'min. Siya ngayon ang isa sa mga head teachers of Phoenix Academy. Mas lalo siyang naging malakas matapos niyang magising mula sa pang-ko-kontrol sa kanya. Nagalit siya at nagpalakas. "I don't want to be a puppet again," sabi niya noon.

"Georgia! Focus!" Pasigaw na bulong sa'kin ni Lucifuge. I glared at him coldly at binalik ang aking paningin sa harap. He's one of the demon teachers now, but I don't know why he's here. He's even near me, forgetting everyone around us.

"Bakit hindi ikaw ang mag-focus, Fuge?" isip ko't alam kong maririnig niya 'yon. Hinayaan kong marinig niya 'yon kahit na maalam na akong isara ang utak ko. He only sent me a smirk while he didn't take his eyes off of mine.

"Oh, you know why, Angel," saad niya at kinindatan pa ako. Inirapan ko siya at nagpatuloy na sa pag-e-ensayo bagaman may demonyong nan-de-demonyo sa'kin.

Pati si Alpha o Michael Gaza ay narito rin. He's smirking at everyone with his black eyes as he brushes his light blue hair. Nabawasan na rin ang malimit niyang pag-camouflage. He's a student like me, but he can basically do anything easily. Training is easy for him.

"Huwag mo akong tingnan ng gan'yan, Kaye. Baka mamatay ako," aniya nang mapansing nakatingin ako sa kanya. Inakbayan niya ako't tiningnan si Lucifuge sabay bumelat. Napahiwalay lang siya sa'kin nang gumawa ako ng ice blades mula sa siko ko't tinusok siya.

Then, Highness Althea announced. "Tomorrow, aalis tayo ng academy. Pupunta tayo sa Semideus Island para mag-train with the Gods. Sa susunod namang araw ay sa Orphic Dimension, mundo ng pinakamalalakas na peculiars, dito naman natin ma-u-unlock ang iba pa nating kakayahan."

"Ayaw kong mapahiya tayong mga Phoenicians sa mga Semideus at Orpheus. So I'll tell you about the things you need to know about those places."

Semideus Island? Orphic Dimension? Ngayon ko lamang narinig ang mga lugar na iyon, ah. Pero bakit parang alam naman iyon ng iba? Nagbubulungan sila at mukhang tuwang-tuwa pa. Lucifuge seemed surprised, but Alpha wasn't. He's one of the few who looked happy. He turned to me with a grin in his face. "Good thing. Sawa na ako sa inyo, eh," he stated. Ah, 'yon naman pala. Hiniwalay ko nalang ang tingin sa kanya't napailing sa loob-loob.

"Semideus Island is the home for qualified mortals and demigods. Doon ako nanggaling 'pagkat isa akong demigod. Tandaan niyo lang na huwag kayong pumunta kung saan-saan dahil maaari kayong mawala. It's a high possibility if you aren't familiar with the place," she explained. "Some of them are mortals, pero hindi ibig sabihin noon ay mas magagaling na kayo. Semideus Island is not open for weaklings, and a series of tests is there before you enter, so call it a privilege that we're allowed there. Tandaan niyo rin na marami kayong makakasalamuhang mga diyos at diyosa."

"Next is the Orphic Dimension. It's a place that's created by human minds. It's actually powerful, at hindi mo aakalaing mga mortal lang or peculiars ang gumawa ng Dimension na iyon," pagpapatuloy niya. "Ang mag-te-train sa'tin ay ang mismong mga gumawa ng dimension na iyon. If you make them mad, baka i-trap ka na nila roon," natatawa niyang banggit.
