Sylum Academy of Skill Exertion (Editing)

Chapter 36: The Incident

Kinabukasan ay nagising ako. Agad akong tumingin tingin sa paligid at nakita kong nasa kabilang kama si Kid at mahimbing na natutulog. Napatingin din ako sa mga kamay ko, may nakakabit ditong dextrose. Bigla akong napahinga nang malalim.

Nasa hospital lang pala ako ng Sylum kung saan nasa kanang bahagi ng buong Sylum kaharap ng dormitories and classrooms na building.

It's my first time to be admitted here. At nakakapanibago dahil parang hindi naganap ang huli kong naaalala kung saan nawalan ako ng malay sa kagubatan. Parang panaginip lang.

The fluorescene is quite bright which it coincides with the interior of the hospital, white and navy blue.

Nandito lang kami sa mga cubicle naka settle ni Kid samantalang napapalibutan kami ng puting tela na nakatakip dito sa cubicle.

Maya-maya pa ay may pumasok na Sylem healer sa cubicle namin at chineck ang results ng recovery namin. Tumingin lang ako sa kanya at ngumiti ito pero binalewala ko lang. She's wearing a white Sylem Healer's uniform with a mixture of navy blue. Her hair is in bun at may maamo rin itong mukha. Maya-maya ay agad din siyang umalis matapos kaming icheck dalawa ni Kid.

However, as she walked out the cubicle she did not mean to forget to close the curtains kaya naiwan itong nakabukas.

Napatingin ako sa labas. Ang kaharap pala ng cubicle namin ay mga cubicles parin sa kabilang hanay sa pagitan ng hallway kung saan nakaopen ang white curtains dahil walang patients.

I breathed deep. I looked at to the persons rooming around the hospital na napapadaan dito. Karamihan sa kanila ay Sylem Healers and Master Healers which are the masters of healing. Natulala lang ako sa kanila.

Somehow, I see what's our difference. They are ought to serve through saving lives and we, the Representatives are ought in service to fight.

Napahawak ako ng bahagya sa ulo ko dahil sumakit ito sa kaliwang bahagi.

Wala akong naaalala masyado kanina maliban na lamang sa pagsunod namin ni Kid dun sa lalaking naka green cape at ang pagkawala ng malay ko dahil sa ginawang pagpalo sa akin ng baril nung samientu.

Napahawak pa ako nang mahigpit sa ulo ko dahil sa muling pagkirot nito. Napailing nalang ako. That's the only thing that I can do now.

Natigil ako bigla nang may maalala akong imahe sa utak ko. The half moon and the star. The Samientus.

Ibig sabihin hindi na kami ligtas.

Dahan-dahan akong tumayo para sana pumunta ako sa office ni Sir Reve nang biglang nagsalita si Kid. Gising na siya.

"I'm afraid I might put you into death row because I was the one who involved you." I looked at him. He was lying down his bed but with his fists clenched. I stared at it, it was actually shaking and I think it's because of anger, when I came across and saw his eyes. He was angry but with his eyes in tears.

Bahagya lang akong nakaupo. I know. I am not blind to do not see what's happening around me. I know the next day another life might be taken, perhaps, now. What I've experienced was just a threat but, threats always give birth to death.

I lowered my gaze. I looked at my right hand and I took off the wire being injected to it. This fear is not a good thing at these moments. I should have my strength built especially at these situations that my comrades are vulnerable.

I looked at into his eyes directly, so he does. These words can't wait to be uttered.

"We are ought to fight. Get up. We still have loved ones that we must protect. Let's have a plan so we won't fail again. The opportunity will meet us so soon."
