Universidad De Primos

CHAPTER 05

Astrid

"So the demons came here from another dimension. Walang may alam kung ano at sino ang nagpadala sakanila para burahin tayo sa mundong ito. However, our goal is simple. It is that we must protect our land, Thundra, at all cost. We must save humanity by fighting these demons until our last breath" - she explained at kitang kita ko mula dito sa likod ang pakikinig ng ilang mga estudyante, specifically ang non-elite sector, samatalang ang mga elites naman ay tulog o di kaya nag d-daydream.

Insolent elites tch.

They cannot survive in that forest with that kind of attitude. Well, ako hindi na ako nakikinig at some point because I already knew and memorized that s**t. Mayroon pa nga akong alam na hindi nila alam tsk. While these assholes only know the basics kaya dapat sana makinig sila kahit papaano.

"Noong una ginamit ng mga ninuno natin ang kanilang kapangyarihan upang paslangin ang mga demonyo, pero hindi nagtagal ay napagtanto nila na ang kapangyarihan nila ay hindi sapat sa pakikipaglaban." - True. Bakit nga ba kailangan ng mga armas na ito kung may mahika lang naman kami diba?

Actually, magic has never been enough. We cannot rely every fight with our magics dahil unang una mas madali kaming manghina at maubusan ng lakas kapag patuloy at sunod sunod kaming gumagamit ng malalakas na mahika. At dahil madali nga kaming manghina ay halos lahat ng ninuno nila ay namatay dahil sa wala na silang lakas para magbitiw pa ng mahika. At imbis na tumakbo pinili nilang magpakain.

They are all stupid. Akala naman nila bibigyan sila ng parangal ng mga Primos dahil sa kabayanihan kuno na ginawa nila.

"Maraming namatay tryong to save our land. Hanggang sa dumating ang isang mag-asawa at pinakilala sa mga Primos ang mga kagamitang pwedeng magamit na armas laban sa mga demonyo. At yun na ang mga armas niyo ngayon.

Your weapons are forged in an unknown city by, the stones or ores used in your weapons are the same as your ability kaya sila ang pumipili sainyo. Ingatan niyo ang mga armas ninyo dahil aabutin ng ilang linggo bago ulit yan magawa" - It's true. Weapons like what we use are forged in some unknown city. At aabutin ng halos tatlong linggo kung muli kang magpapagawa ng bago dahil nasira.

It's just that, the city is also strict in making weapons. Kapag nasira, kailangan nilang malaman kung anong rason. And they will decided if they are going to make you a new one or not.

"So let's go back to the demons. Pag-aaralan niyo ngayon kung anong ginagawa nila, kinakain, mga uri at kung papano sila patayin" - with that I grinned. Mukhang kailangan kong isiwalat lahat ng nalalaman ko na hindi nila alam.

Slyfer, my scythe is complaining in my mind. Telling me that I shouldn't interfere with the lesson. Na hayaan ko nalang sila ang naka diskubre ng mga bagay bagay sa gubat. Pero ayoko, ayokong pagdating nila doon sa susunod na linggo ay marami na agad mawawala sakanila.

We are going to stay in this university for 2 years.

Pagkatapos ng linggo na kung saan sasabak na kami sa unang giyera ay lahat ng makaka ligtas ay magiging estudyante ng buo. Tuturuan kami sa loob ng dalawang taon ng mga bagay bagay, lalong lalo na ang elites. Well, sila lang naman talaga ata ang focus dito eh.

The non-elites are mainly pawns.

Sa loob ng dalawang taon na iyan, ay dalawa hanggang tatlong beses sa isang linggo kaming lalabas upang makipag sapalaran sa labas.

That wasn't the rule before. Dahil noon pagkatapos ng isang linggong panimulang pagsasanay ng isang tao ay agad siyang sasabak sa giyera sa labas. Kung kailan sila babalik? Kung kailan meron ng papalit sakanila na mahusay at mas bata.

"There are four types of demons recorded. 1st type is the Class - C demons, they are the most common ones, kadalasan ay mga zombie. Ability? They can poisen you to death, until they can devour you. How can you kill them? You can kill them with your elements. So any questions before we proceed to the next?" - she stated and I lazily raise my hand. Kita ko ang gulat sa mukha niya at napataas nalang ako ng kilay. Ano? Mayroon bang nakakabigla sa gagawin ko? I am just contributing because if not, they'll gonna be food.

"Are there any kind of Class-C Zombies?" - tanong ko at kita ko ang gulat sa mukha niya kasabay ng pagiling niya which made me grin.

Wala talaga silang alam.. palibhasa nandito lang sa loob at nagpapakasarap

"Actually meron" - I said in a matter of fact tone at naramdaman ko ang pagtitig saakin ng mga kaklase ko.

"First kind, the normal one. There's nothing special in this kind of Zombie. Second kind is the pouncing zombie, we in the forest call it that way because they pounce to get to you instantly. Weakness? Long range weapons. Third is the zombies that came from the ground. So be careful where you step your feet. But don't worry, bihira na ang mga zombie sa kagubatan. Class C demons are weak just so you know"

"Ah-eh okay.. so naintindihan niyo naman ang sinabi ni Astrid right? Tandaan niyo yun" - Mercedes said as she forced to smile.

"So next is the Class B demons, commonly they are in a form of serpents, merman, ghosts, siren, there are too many to mention"

"Serpents are large snakes, they can spit poison. Serpents are usually seen in the tall grasses. Minsan ay nakasabit din sila sa mga puno. You can know when it is the home of a serpent if you can see rotten skins everywhere. Weakness? You can use fire and ice and your weapon"

"The merman are demons lives close to the river of the hollow forest and it attacks anything thay comes near it. Weakness? Use your weapon and fire against it. Never use water or ice. Mermans are immune to it.

"Ghosts are small spirits doomed to wander the foresy grounds. They can follow you whereever you go so be careful not to spot one. Sometimes ghosts can create illusions, so if you did spot one don't hesitate to kill it using your weapons."

"Sirens on the other hand are not water creatures but they are flying ones. They can mesmerize you, especially good looking men with their beautiful singing voice. And if you did encounter one be sure to neglect anything that you hear. Sirens are weak against strong wind and ice and long range weapons of course"

Hmm marami pang class B na demonyo sa kagubatan pero hahayaan ko na silang makadiskubre noon. Hindi naman gaanong malalakas ang mga class B. Hmm siguro may mga ilan lang na malakas.

"Class A Demons, are the ones who you usually see wondering around the forest. They comprise of different demons. Wala akong masyadong maiibibigay na impormasyon sainyo sa class A dahil lahat ng nakakaengkwentro ng ganito ay namamatay kaya walang nakakapagbigay ng impormasyon saamin."

"You will know if it is a class A demon when you see a mark anywhere in it's body. " - malamig kong saad kasabay ng paghikab ko. Pathetic, wala man lang silang alam tungkol sa mga class-A  eh sila nga yung palaging nakikita sa kagubatan. They actually rule almost one half of the forest. A few only survive when they encounter such demon kadalasan. Pero tama nga siya wala pang nakakabalik dahil kapag nakaligtas ka sa unang atake ay kinagabihan ay may aatake ulit sayo. Not only one, but they can work in groups.

"Another sign is when dark smoke starts to appear out of nowhere. Inhale that smoke and you be marked as the prey. You will be under an illusion and everything ia done for you" - dagdag ko pa at napansin ko ang pagngiti ni Mercedes saakin. Tsk wag siyang masyadong matuwa, I only gave these ignsolent fools the basics.

If you can remember, I have saved the woman who was marked, but the demon rider os not a class A demon. Yes she was marked by a class A but she survived the attack and that time she was now hunted by a class S one.

"Class- S demons on the other hand are the vicious ones. They are often seen as the dragon riding demons. The dragons of the late primos who got bitten by the demons turned into demon dragons. No one can escape the wrath of these S class demons. They are often called as generals so be careful out there." - she continued and that made me frown.

Sa tingin ba talaga nila na ang S-class na ang pinaka malakas na demonyo? Well hindi nga nila alam na meron pang ibang uri ng S-Class na nagmamasid sa kagubatan? Sabagay papano nga nila malalaman eh nandito lang sila a nagpapakasarap.

And no one can escape? Tsk ilang beses na nga akong nakaligtas sa mga hayop na iyon tsk. Palibhasa hindi nila alam ang kahinaan ng mga S-class. Tsk hindi nga nila alam na kaya hinahabol ng S-class ang mga elites ay dahil sa bawat pagkain nila sa mga primos ay kaakibat nito ay lakas. The more primos or elites they eat the stronger they get.

Their rank as generals depends on how many elites they have eaten for the past years and ngayon alam kong malakakas na sila. The one I killed last time is the weakest one I guess kaya andali ko lang siyang napatay.

"Astrid?"

"Yes?" - I said absent-mindedly.

"Do you want to add something?" - tanong niya at umiling nalang ako. Alam kong pagsinabi ko ang nalalaman ko tungkol sa Class- S demons ay hindi nila hahayaang lumaban ang mga elites. They will lock them up at tanging ang mga non-elites ang lalaban para sakanila and that is unfair

"Alright then let's proceed to our next topic!"

Fuck I need to do everything I can to lessen the casualities. Konti nalang Astrid. Konting konti nalang at masisira mo na ang pader na nakaharang sakanila at malalaman mo din kung ano ang katotohanan sa Universidad na ito.

*

Nakaupo ako sa field habang nakapikit ang aking mata. I am concentrating, pinapakiramdaman ko ang buong paligid. Tatlong araw na ako dito but I can still sense the stiffness in the air.

"Heyyy Astrid!!!" - damn that annoying voice again!

"Heyy Sam, what is Astrid doing ba? Look oh! Her eyes are nakasara"

Damn conyo

"Maybe she's sleeping? I dunno Feliz"

Sleeping? What the f**k? May natutulog bang nakaupo?!

"Astrid!!! Wake up!!! Stanley announced that we need to train na!!" - the annoying kid said again and that made me open my eyes at bumungad saakin ang nakakairitang mukha ni Feliz.

"Yey! Gising ka na! Now let's train na before Stanley goes galit to us again!" - she exclaimed and before I could even react ay kinakaladkad niya na ako. Sam, the earth element weilder is beside me on the other hand

"Pagsensyahan mo na si Feliz, she is really so fond of you" - she whispered and I just shrug my shoulders. This conyo girl shouldn't be fond of me, I am too wicked for her.

Habang kinakaladkad niya ako ay napansin ko ang tatlong lalaki na nagaabang saamin sa dulo ng field malapit sa building kung nasaan kami kanina upang makinig sa tinuturo ng mga guro tungkol sa history.

The three guys are none other than the same elites that I have always encountered since day one.

"Wow! Mabuti naman at napasama niyo si Astrid saatin!" - the water element weilder, Daniel exclaimed and that made me raise an eyebrow at him. Lagi naman talaga akong kasama sakanila. I am damn stuck with them because of that annoying Stanley.

"Let's go now, para naman masimulan na natin ang training" - The asshole Fire element weilder, Phoenix said while grinning at me.

"Tss Let's go I want to rest already" - singit naman noong ice element weilder na si Aizen the Third. Tumalikod na siya saamin at nauna na siyang maglakad. Naramdaman ko ang paghigpit ng kaunti ni Feliz sa aking pulsuhan kaya napatingin ako sakanya.

I can see admiration in her eyes at ng sundan ko ang tingin niya ay napayukom ako ng kamay ng makita kong tinitingnan niya si Aizen.

I suddenly felt annoyed and irritated, hindi ko alam kung bakit pero talagang naiinis ako.
