As I prayed to my god I heard soft footsteps which made me paranoid. I immediately open my eyes and look at where Margaret was sitting but she’s gone. Then this chilly wind blew behind him. I take a gulp then slowly turn around only to find out it was only the air conditioner. I felt relieve
“Don’t be afraid I’m not gonna hurt you” She said then pushes me to the bed
She lounges at me then spreads her wings to pin me down.
“Please let me go”
“I don’t taste good” I said then I start begging for my freedom
She smacks my forehead then said
“Dummy I’m just teasing you” She then gets of me then properly sit beside me
“Now spill it” Margaret seriously said
I just stare at her with a clueless expression on my face.
“Don’t act dumb! What are you planning to do? I made quick background check and your status says it all”
“You’re the second one to get a perfect score in the scholarship exam. You’re currently running for presidency in the student council, even Katarina is rooting for you and she doesn’t bow down to anyone”
“Now what’s your agenda? Why do you want to reform this institution?” Margaret ask
“WTF are you talking about? Who said I was reforming the institution? Didn’t I make myself clear?”
“You see I was just planning to make this university accept diversity. Now that my limiter is broken my sight will never be the same again. What I want is a peaceful environment where everyone can coexist with one another.”
“You’ll understand when you open your eyes on reality. Once you had your glimpse there’s no escaping it” I said
“Someone’s coming, hide!” Margaret said as if she’s scared of something
Little demons then came entering her window and then faded. I quickly hide under her bed just in time the door starts to open. Someone enters her room then said
“Is it true?” A lady asked and she sounds like my adviser
“What are you talking about sis?” Margaret said but I can tell that she knows what her sister is asking
“Don’t act dumb! I’ll ask you one last time”
“Did you use your spirit magic?” Ms. De Villa seriously ask
“Yes” Margaret said
Then I heard a loud slap
“Didn’t I tell you to stop using your spirit magic!”
“This is your last warning use it again and I won’t hesitate to seal your powers” Ms. De Villa said then walks outside the room
“Dinner will be ready soon so fix yourself up” She seems pissed
“You can come out now” Margaret said
I quickly crawled outside and went to check on her. Her cheek is so red and plump it looks like a tomato. She tried hiding it but I said it’s okay. I grabbed her hand then look her straight in the eye and said
“Looks like you’re not allowed to use your powers?”
“Why go to all the trouble to save me? You know that there are a lot of spirit users in the campus” I said
“As if someone is foolish enough to do it for free” Margaret pissedly said
I didn’t heard it clearly so I ask if she could repeat it but she just flips her hair then rolls her eyes at me
“Hey Marg, Is it rude for me to ask about Ms. De Villa slapping you?”
“I really didn’t get why she’s so upset in using your spirit powers? For me you have total control over it and you look awesome upon summoning that gate and those tendrils, I didn’t expect it to be so soft” I said
“And the hell are you doing here?” Someone said behind my back
I turn around and saw Ms. De Villa standing on the doorway
“For a professor, you have a foul mouth” I react
“Now, Mr. Paloma what’s your agenda here?” She seriously ask with a menacing glare at me
“Why ask me? Ask her ``she's the one that brought me here!” I raise my voice at her as I point out Margaret
Ms. De Villa diverts her glare at Margaret then said
“Let’s talk at the table” then she leaves
Margaret then grabs my wrist and drags me downstairs. I tried struggling but her nails dug deep in my skin. It was awfully painful. Against my will we enter the dining area. As soon footsteps in I shiver. I close my eyes and brace myself as I talk the lead in
“You two have a seat” Ms. De Villa said with authority
I gently open my eyes and manage to find my seat. With a fast glance I saw Ms. De villa on the far end of the table with her elbows on top of the table and her hands are locked together. As I sit down I look at the floor to avoid eye contact. Margret then kicked my knee so I looked at her with a sour look in my face. She send me a sign to say something but Ms. De Villa got to me first
“Mr. Paloma you were talking about my little sister’s spirit magic performance correct? And if I heard it correctly. You said something about seeing this gate and tendril as she uses it” Ms De Villa said as she was rudely interrupted by Margaret by slamming her hands on the table
Ms. De Villa removes her glasses. With a single blink her eyes changed.
“Don’t look!” Margaret shouts at me
Then a huge gate with an ominous aura rose behind Ms. De Villa and two fiendish hands emerge out of it. It extends towards Margaret but Margaret isn’t looking maybe she’s afraid of Ms. De Villa eyes. Out of instinct my body lounges towards Margaret just on time the fiendish hands strikes
Ms. De Villa smirked and the hands withdrew back to the gate
“Are you planning to kill her” I said as I look her straight in the eye
Margaret turned my head aside so I would look away from her sister. I looked at her instead but she was shocked. She creeps away from me as if she’s afraid. I move closer but she pushes me away with her right hand and covers her eyes with the other hand. Ms. De Villa then places her hand on top of my shoulder
“Stand up” She said with authority
I stood up and faced her. Her eyes still exhibit that reddish glow.
“Tell me what race are you?”
“I haven’t seen eyes like that. Eyes that is far way superior than mine” Ms. De Villa said as she holds my chin and look closer into my eyes
“I am actually human” I said
She just laughs at me until tears pour out her her eyes
“Hey sis, I didn’t know you are into jokers” Ms. De Villa teased.
Her eyes went back to normal. She went to pick up her sister and we all headed back to our specific seats.
“So Paloma, what did you see in my sister?” Ms. De Villa asks with a curious look on her face. Her face has this bright blush and radiant smile
“What are you talking about sis. He’s not my lover” Margaret teased
I don’t know why but I feel embarrassed all of a sudden. I can’t even look at them. Then I heard a chair creaks and last thing I know Ms. De Villa is already seating beside me
“I know you’re not human. So spill it”
“No human can possess such high grade powers. No wonder you have the guts to face against the next demon lord” Ms. De Villa said then her eyes changes back to that reddish glow
I shove her away because she’s way too close and I feel kinda awkward
“If I am not human I must be an Oculus. That’s what a demon told me” I said
“So you’re an Oculus”
“I thought they were all wiped out centuries ago” Ms. De Villa said
“Huh? Why would it be wiped out?”
“We have an entire village on the mountains” I ask
“f**k! How ignorant are you?”
“Don’t you know that Oculus once rule all the races even gods bow before Lisandro the head of the Oculus”
“He wields the most powerful eyes of all. Eyes that can see through the future and because of it he and his men are unstoppable to the extent that other races formed an alliance just to wipe them out of the competition”
“Seeing you now unlocking such eyes gives me the chills. Only gifted eyes can see through spirit magic and only a fraction of the spirit users see what magic they’ve got”
“I was shocked to see you saving my sister earlier. You really can see the spirits just like my eyes” She said as she shows off her glowing eyes
“So I have extraordinary powers. I should head back to the village and ask elder anything he know about this so called limiters and Lisandro with his fallen kingdom” Thoughts inside my head
