A Thousand-Year Old Prophecy

26: Cultivation Casket

The next day, their instructors started to group them.

At hindi alam ni Nyssa kung matutuwa ba siya o hindi dahil sa lahat ng klase ay kagrupo niya si Toby.

Toby is one of those smart students. Pero naknakan naman ito ng pagkabully pagdating sa kanya.

In fact, he warned her immediately pagkabalik nila sa dorm.

"If you drag me down, I swear, ipapasalvage kita."

Nyssa just made a face.

Ang purpose ng grouping ay para magtulungan sila sa pag-aaral, pagrreseach at sa mga upcoming projects nila.

After all, they would only advance on the second year based on the development of one another.

So they really needed to work together as a group.

Pero kamalas malasan nga naman nitong si Nyssa. In their technology class, naging kagrupo pa nila ni Toby si Anita.

"My goodness... At talagang nakasama pa kita dito ha. Akala ko pa naman, magtutuloy tuloy na ang swerte ko na hindi kita kagrupo." Anita told her.

Nyssa looked on her left saka nagmake face.

Hindi na siya sumagot. Baka mamaya ipahiya na naman siya nito eh.

Though lately, the instructors no longer took her bait of volunteering Nyssa.

Nakahalata ata ang mga ito na ginagawa lamang ng dalaga ang pagpprisinta sa kanya para lang ipahiya siya. After all, lahat sila sa ngayon ay aware na sa kakayahan niya.

With that, she couldn't help sighing.

Would she ever be able to move up to second year?

"All right, everyone. Mixed class time. Let's go to the Gym." Announced nung instructor nila sa Technology.

Mixed class means they would be joining other classes, other 1st years and 2nd years classes probably, but it would still be Technology class.

Agad silang nagpunta sa Gym and took their seats.

"Okay. We have Mixed class today because our 2nd years just finished their recent projects. We will see how revolutionizing these inventions of them. Take your seats now so we can already begin."

When everyone was already settled, the groups of 2nd year started to present and show everyone their invention.

Kaso, Nyssa wasn't able to focus.

Something was going on inside her. It was Maru. Hindi ito mapakali sa loob ng void.

She stood up.

"San ka na naman pupunta, inday?" Tanong ni Toby.

"Restroom."

Yun lang at umalis na siya agad.

She couldn't stop Maru. The circle creature seemed to want to go out. Fortunately, with the recent breakthrough of Nyssa, she found out how to close her void so that Maru could not just go out on her whims.

But she could really be bothered kapag ganitong tinotopak si Maru.

Kaya naman she went to a deserted corridor and opened her void. Maru immediately came out.

"What's wrong?"

"Kruuu... kruuu... kruuu..."

Napafacepalm si Nyssa.

Where could she possibly get a translator para sa alaga?

Mukhang na frustrate na rin ata si Maru dahil sa hindi nila pagkakaintindihan.
