It’s already night time, and I wanted to train for a bit before sleeping. Nagpaalam na rin ako kanila lola na dito sa backyard gawin ang pag-training ko. Medyo malamig sa labas kaya nag-jacket ako. “Hooo, alright.” I whispered to myself, hindi dapat ako gumawa ng ingay, baka makabulabog ako ng kapitbahay tsaka sila lola. I lifted up my hand to my face so I can see it clearly. I’m gonna try controlling it mid-air. The familiar shiver flowed through my body, meaning I’m able to control it through my blood veins. Nang lumabas ang mga itim naugat, tinry ko itong palutangin lang sa kamay ko. I failed, ending nalaglag ‘yung veins at parang naging tubig. “One more time…” I tried to do it again, but failed. Paano ko ‘to gagawin? ‘Hindi ka naman nagf-focus eh.’ “Ikaw nana-“ “What the fuck?” Wala na ‘ko sa backyard. Nandito nanaman ako sa parang outer space, ‘yung lugar na napuntahan ko din nung na-hospital ako. The man greeted me, “Welcome to my domain, again.” He playfully said. Blur

After kong libutin ang magiging kwarto ko ay nag-ayos na 'ko ng mga gamit ko.    I opened one of my luggage. "Lolo.." I uttered, may isang pouch ng silver sa maleta ko, may note na nakadikit.   "For dagdag allowance :)"   Sobra-sobra na ang mga binibigay nila lolo sa 'kin. I'll make sure to repay their kindness as soon as I graduate. Well, maybe after saving my parents.   Kaso...   I'll take years before saving them.    No.   Before it takes years. I'll save them. Right after I learn to control this ability, I'll save them. They're my first priority, they are the reason why I am pushing myself this hard to be better, to succeed.

I stood up, "Good evening Lord Niccolo, Lord Lewis." Saad ni Axie na ginaya ko naman sabay bow.  "Ay, call me Nic nalang. We should be friends!" He said and extended his hand, Axie grabbed it, "Sige Nic, friends na tayo ha?"  Napasapo ako sa noo.  "And you are.." He extended his hand in front of me as well. "Vexyiana. Nice to meet you, Lor- Nic." I almost said Lord Niccolo, jeez. After that we sat down again. "You!" Bigla kong sambit sabay titig doon sa lalaking tahimik na may hazel brown na buhok. "Ikaw 'yung nakita ko sa entrance exam, sa forest!" Hindi niya 'ko pinansin. Medyo napahiya ako, "Sorry." I apologized.  Rinig kong natawa si Nic at Liel, "It's fine haha! Call him Lewis or Wil. He's my brother." Liel said. Oh, that explained why they looked similar kahit magkaiba ang mga kulay ng buhok, "Twins?" I asked.&nb

“Let’s go?” Liel walked up to me, lahat ng kaklase ko ay ready na. I turned my phone on and looked at the time. “Uh yeah, we should get going.”Nagmamadali kong saad sabay dampot sa bag ko. “Why? What’s wrong?” Tanong naman ni Nic na biglang sumulpot sa tabi ko.       “We’re late. It’s already 7:13.”       Kita ko ang panlalaki ng mga mata ng kaklase ko.       Sabi ko kanina hindi ako mal-late e, tsk. Bahala na.       As far as I can remember, history ang first class namin. Sana hindi terror ang professor.       Sabay-sabay kaming umalis sa dormitory at tumakbo pap

Tumayo na ‘ko mula sa pagkaka-indian sit at inilapag malapit sa bag ko ang water jug ko. Nagsi-puwestuhan na kami ng mga kaklase ko at nagsimulang mag-squat at push-up.       “AAAAAAAAAA!” Sigaw nung mga lalaki. Hirap na siguro, 60 push-ups ba naman. Buti nalang 30 squats lang gagawin ko hehe.       I extended my arms out then began to squat, dahan-dahan lang. “Huhu, Vex…” Rinig kong tawag ni Axie, natakbo pa rin ito, tinginan ko siya at nakatingin ito sa ‘kin na may nagmamakaawang mukha.       “1 more minute.” I mouthed to her. I saw her pouted, pfft.       Nagpatuloy pa akong mag-squat. Hanggang sa matapos ako.
