The Spirit Martial

Spirit 21

I’ve seen a lot of spirits already and as expected, halos lahat sa kanila ay naka specialize na sa attacking. This room is filled with royalties after all. May iba rin naman na ang dpecialty ay defense at healing. Kahit isang tao, wala talaga akong nakita na ang specialty ay poison. I’d love to have that specialty pero medyo malabo. A part of me wants it but a part of me is also hesitant to have that specialty. Parang ayaw kong makakuha ng attention sa mga studyante. If I can get the attention of our batch, how much more to our seniors- the 2 batches above us.

Normally sa dati kong mundo, we are called as freshmens pero dito, no matter what the student’s age, the student can go in already as long as he can pass the entrance exams at syempre with a compatible partner. The youngest in our batch is actually 14 and the oldest among our batch is around 25. Sabi nga nila dito, may S Class students pero nasa graduating batch na and the most peculiar thing is that, kaedad lang namin sila. Sila ang pinaka-unang S Class sa school at ang pinakabatang S Class sa buong Agartha. Kali said they were royalties too, the Princes of Northern Agartha.

A door suddenly opened form the top at napatingin kaming lahat sa itaas.

“Speaking of the devil,” Kali whispered at kumunot yung noo ko para makita ko sila.

“The only S Class in the school huh? I bet they’re here to survey new companions for the next Mahika Tournament,” Kailani said.

“Sila lang dalawa? Are they both compatible with each other like Felix and Flin?” I asked.

“Yes, they are but they are stronger. Just like Prince Kailani, they are part of the Pendragon Family. Prince Tempest, the guy on the left with an ash gray hair and wearing a white royal suit, has a Scorpion Spirit and he is the only one in this school who specializes at poison.” Nieve replied and I stared at him. He has this calm face na hindi naman siguro to delikado kalabanin. “Mukha lang siyang mabait but rumors say, during the Mahika Tournament, he killed 2 people for hurting his brother,” he added and I froze. Binabawi ko na sinabi ko.

“How about that guy with a silver hair?” I asked. He looked calm as well pero kung ikokompara siya kay Tempest, he looked more strict. He was also wearing a white royal suit. Kung hindi titingnan ng maagi, they looked like twins. Binaling ko ang tingin ko kay Nieve para hintayin ang sagot niya.

“Oh, that is his older brother, Prince Gin, his name is actually a word which means silver. Aside from that, his spirit is a Silver Cobra. Have you heard of Medusa’s story by any chance?” Nieve asked. So myths from my world occurs here too?

“I do but not all,” I answered.

“Prince Gin’s Spirit is actually dangerous because in just one stare, he can make a human into a stone,” Nieve said at napalunok ako. “He actually killed a lot during Mahika Tournaments. Lalong-lalo na yung may pumatay sa fiance niya while he was in game. Up until now, the killer hasn’t been seen yet,” he added.

“That’s tragic and traumatic at the same time,” I replied.

“Isa rin iyan sa rason kung bakit tinatawag na siyang Cold President ngayon. He is actually the President of the student council. He is fair but his coldness is beyond comprehension,” Kailani said at napahinga ng malalim. “We were childhood friends before. I doubt that he still know me,” he added.

“I wonder if they hear us talking,” biglang sabi ni Kali at napatingin kami sa kanya. Nakatingin siya sa itaas at agad siyang napatingin sa amin.

“Bakit mo nasabi yan?” I asked.

“Just wondering why they kept staring at us,” he replied at nanigas ako. I slowly raised up my head at tiningnan sila. Both of their eyes and my eyes met and I panicked. I looked away at nagpanggap na nakatingin sa ibang direction.

“Our eyes just met,” I whispered to Kailani and he chuckled.

“Stupid, why did you looked up?” he asked and he laughed secretly para hindi marinig ng iba.

“Shut up,” reklamo ko.

Napatigil kami when huge flames suddenly appeared at the center stage. It was a Princess who summoned her spirit but she was not able to control so her spirit is now in rage, a flaming tiger.

“Stop that, Your Highness!!” the masked man shouted.

“I-I-I-I can’t!!” the princess shouted with tears in his eyes.

I glanced at Kali and he was also bothered. He looked around and the flames were getting bigger. Pag lalaki pa ito, I’m sure the school will burn down. The others started splinting away and some had burns on their limbs.

“Nieve, bring that spirit down,” Kali instructed at tumayo kaagad si Nieve.

“As you wish, Prince Kali,” he responded and the surroundings suddenly went cold.

“Cygnus, can you save the others from fire?” he asked and I nodded.

“I’ll handle the fire, go,” Kailani said at tumango ako.

Nieve’s eyes turned into ice blue and and even her hair glowed blue. The room immediately started snowing and the people inside started calming down. Kailani stood in fornt of the fire and when he extended his hand, the fire moved into one place but the princess was there. She was even screaming in pain even if that’s her spirit.

“Cygnus!!” Kali shouted.

My vision turned purple and vines from back started growing. The moment it was long enough, I pointed at the princess and my vines was able to reach her. I gritted my teeth when the fire touch the vines, it’s damn painful. What the hell are these flames.?!

When I was able to grab the girl away, Kali put up a barrier and I saw his eyes changed like a pather’s eyes. He is really Kailani’s brother.

“Nieve!” Kali shouted and Nieve extended his hand forward.

“Freeze,” he said and the fire slowly turned into ice along with the flaming tiger.

“Unsummon him,” I said and the princess nodded.

Her spirit vanished and the room was filled with silence. Binaba ko na ang hawak kong prinsesa at napatingin ako sa paligid. The others had burns so my huge vines divided and the purple flowers turned into white. My vines touched the burns and they slowly healed. Buti nalang naagapan namin talaga iyon kasi pag hindi, I’m sure this school will turn into ashes.

“Good job,” Kailani said and he held my shoulder. My eyes widened when I noticed that the life force I’m giving off to heal their wounds were coming back. Napatingin ako sa kanya and Inoticed that he was giving me assitance to heal them.

“I can’t heal but I can help,” he said with a smile. He is really something else.

Tumango ako at ngumiti at napatingin ako nina Kali. Kali tapped Nieve’s head with a huge smile while Nieve was hiding his smile and blush. There is really something in between them na hindi pa nila sinabi sa isa’t isa. Although I haven’t tried or see any type of boys love, seeing them is so cute.

My vines stopped when the burns were all healed. Napatingin kami sa princesa and she was kneeling down with tears asking sorry from us. I saw the Prince of the West was about to come with an angry face kaso napatigil siya nang pumalagitna si Kailani and he stared at him.

“What were you planning?” he asked coldly.

“Get away disowned prince! That girl deserves a punishment!” he shouted at kumunot ang noo naming apat.

“Such as what?” Kailani asked.

“Death!! She almost burn everyone! Not just everyone, but also the school!!” reklamo niya. Kali walked forward with anger in his eyes.

“Do you wanna die?” he suddenly asked and the room was filled with silence once again. Nieve walked forward to the crying princess trying to comfort her. This bad. This is really bad.

I glanced at the S Class students kasi isa sa kanila ang President ng Student Council, baka kaya niyang pigilan ang gulo na ito. They were just watching us with smiles on their faces. Oh please don’t tell me they are having fun. This is not the right time for fun now! Do something!!

I glanced back at Kailani and Kali. My jaw dropped when the Prince of the West had another man with him, his partner I guess.

“Take that back, Your Highness,” he said as he greeted his teeth.

“Calm down, Prince Wylie!” the man beside him said. So his name is Wylie.

“Shut up, Zane!! You stupid useless partner!!” he shouted and punched his face. That’s going overboard. “Know your manners! I told you to not talk casually to me!! You’re just a Duke’s son!!” he shouted again and he was about to kick him.

My patience is completely down so Wylie’s foot was stopped from my vines. Napatingin ang lahat sa akin habang ako ay nakatitig sa kanya. Another vine with purple flower appeared beside his foot.

“Do you think these healing vines of yours can stop me?! You fake royalty?!!” he shouted as he was glaring at me.

“Healing vines?” I asked and I tilted my head. “Can’t you see that other vine beside your foot with a purple flower?” I asked at napatingin siya doon. “Hindi ko ba nasabi?” I asked. “Hindi pala ito healing vines, Prince Wylie. I’m just a mere commoner who belongs to the Botanica Family,” I said as I walked forward. “A mere commoner who holds the previous spirit of the previous Spirit Martial, the Queen of Poisons,” I added and he turned pale.

“Y-Y-Y-Your lying,” utal-utal niyang sabi.

“Tatanongin kita ulit,” sabi ko and I held his jaw. “Do you wanna die?” I asked and my vision turned purple.
