Grimoire Academy: The Herem of the Fallen Princess

Hyacinth's POV "Ash, how's your day?" Kuya asked while typing on his laptop. Umupo ako sa sofa ng pabagsak bago siya nilingon, humihigop siya ng kape sa tasa habang tinitingnan ako ng nakadekwatro. "Nothing new, still boring." Bored kong sabi. Tumaas ang sulok ng labi niya at tinawanan ako. Hayyy, ang gwapo talaga ni Kuya. Kahit hindi na ako mag-asawa, pagmamasdan ko na lang ang mukha niya araw-araw---joke! Sawa na din ako sa mukha nya kasi kamukha ko lang sya. Asher Curtis Emmanuelle Silvencia, that's his name. My super handsome kuya! I'm not exaggerating things, gwapo talaga siya. Katulad ng normal siblings, para kaming aso't pusa. Pero kahit ganon, he's protective when I am being chased by bad mages. You read it right. Bad mages, not bad people. So, I'll start the story. There's a world where people use magic. Their magic is divided into different kinds. It could be wind, fire, water, and earth. They are called---The Mages. We're still not done, there's more. On the other hand, some mages can use magic using a book. And that book is called a grimoire book. Inside the book, it has a unique and rare power that is way stronger than the people who were born with magic. The grimoire books are passed from generation to generation. An example of it is ice mage holders, spatial mage holders, black magic holders, and many more. To put it short, they are stronger than a normal mage. And these people are called---The Grimoire Mages. "You got Detention again, right?" Aniya. Napalingon ako sa direksyon niya. Ibinaba nya ang hawak na tasa sa mesa. "Yes, it's the fourth time!" I said while smiling proudly. He just shakes his head and ignores me. I pouts. I'm Aphrodite Serenity Hyacinth Silvencia. If your wondering why I got detention a couple of times, well---Maganda kasi ako, Joke! But it's not a joke! Sa school na pinapasukan ko kasi ang daming inggitera, yung tipong naglalakad ka lang tapos biglang may mga clowns na susulpot at naghahanap ng away. Ay basta ganon. Nasa mortal world kami ngayon, dito namumuhay ang mga taong walang kapangyarihan. Ang gamit nila sa mundong ito ay teknolohiya lamang. Dito ako pinalaki ng mga magulang ko---kaming dalawa ni Kuya. Pero iba si Kuya sakin. Nakakagala siya sa Mystical World---Kung saan namumuhay ang mga taong may mga abilidad at kapangyarihan. Minsan nagbabakasyon pa sya dito ng ilang araw, minsan umaabot pa nga ng buwan. This is why I'm jealous of him. He can go there freely, while I'm like a caged bird here. Iniling ko ang ulo ko, iniba ko ang topic. "So, is he coming?" Tanong ko. Tumingin sya sakin. "Why do you asked?" Tanong niya. We are talking about that person. "Because he always does when I always misbehave?" Excited kong sabi. "He will not come here anymore." Napaawang ang labi ko at tiningnan siya ng nakakunot noo. "What---Why?" Curious na tanong ko. Itinigil niya ang paglalaptop niya at tiningnan ako. "Because I said so." Napaawang ang labi ko sa sagot nya. Kuya has a best friend, Kaiden Lucas. He also belongs in the Mystical World. He is a powerful mage, as powerful as Kuya. Lucas was rumored to be the son of a god. Yes, gods also exist in the Mystical World. And that theory can be proved because he is an Immortal. He doesn't die. I have a secret to reveal. That Immortal Mage. I have liked him since I was young. "Did you order him not to come?" Seryosong tanong ko. Iniling niya ang ulo niya. "He's dealing with his curse." Sagot nya habang nagsusuot ng headphone at kinakalikot ang cellphone nya. Natahimik na ako. He is finding his mate. Nagbubungtong hininga kong isip-isip. *** Nasa living room kami ng bahay. Nakahiga lang ako sa sofa, kasi bored na bored. Nasa harapan ko si Kuya. Nag cellphone habang nakadekwatro. Napatingin kami sa labas ng may biglang sumabog. *BOOOGSHH!!* Nabalikwas ako ng bangon sa sofa, habang si Kuya tinanggal ang headphone at tumayo, kita kong pati si Mom dali daling lumabas sa kusina. Tapos bigla na lang bumaba ng hagdan si Dad at hinihingal na sinarado ang pinto at tinanggal ang salamin bago tumingin samin. "Inaatake tayo ng kalaban..." sabi ni Dad habang ni-lock ang pinto. "What?" Naguguluhang sabi ko. Tumingin ako kila Mom and Kuya. Si Kuya nagtransform sa armor nya. "How did they find our location?" tanong ni Kuya habang inihahagis ang cellphone na hawak hawak sa sofa bago nilalabas ang espada nya gamit ang kaniyang kapangyarihan. "I don't know, there's only one possibility... someone leaked our location," Mom said seriously, and then she released her wimp with her magic. "I'll kill that traitor," Kuya said coldly while his sword lightened with blue flames. "We don't have time to talk about that, but I'm sure of one thing, Ash is their target, we need to send her to the Mystical World..." Dad said, and then he sent a signal to Mom. What? Wait... What? "Give me time to make a port-" Mama's words were interrupted when something exploded at the top, kaya napatingin ako sa bubong, sumabog ito at nabutas tapos may mga taong naka itim na coat ang pumasok at dose-dosena sila. "Amelia, go make a portal to the Mystical World! Ace and I will handle this!" Sigaw ni Dad kay Mom at kinalaban ang mga Dark Mages sa ere habang si Kuya sa baba kung nasaan kami. Wh... Why... Why? Why?! Why bother making a portal?! Inilabas ko ang espada ko pinugutan ng leeg ang Dark Mage na nasa likod ni Kuya. "Ash, remember this..." He said habang sinisipa ang kalaban nya sa tabi. "Kapag nakadating ka sa Mystical World..." "You need to immediately get into Grimoire Academy..." Bigla akong napaantras, why do I feel uneasy? That academy? No way... "No! That school was full of-!!" I was about to speak but he cut my words again. "We don't have a choice. Remember to hide your identity... Make sure you won't lose your temper. I wouldn't be there to protect you." This time, tumingin sya sakin. Nagluha na ang mga mata ko. "Kuya, stop this bullshit!" Hinampas ko sya sa dibdib at hindi na talaga napigilan umiyak. I can hear mom secretly sobbing at my back. Nilapitan ako ni Kuya at niyakap. Niyakap nya ko ng mahigpit... Iyak lang ako ng iyak sa mga bisig nya, ramdam kong nabasa din ang balikat ko kung saan nakapatong ang ulo nya... Then I could feel his hands trembling... "And w-wait for Kaiden to fetch you there..." Pagak nyang sabi. Agad naman akong napatigil sa pag iyak at napakunot ang noo. "Maybe it will take a few weeks before he fetches you, but trust me... He will come..." Wait for him? Wait, don't tell me, they are not coming??? Bakit parang ang dating ng mga sinasabi nya sakin, they can't be with me..."I hate to say this but, Mom, Dad, and I will leave your safety to that jerk..." He said warmly while hugging me tight again. "N-no Kuya..." Umiiyak na sabi ko habang umiiling sa kanya, I don't want to leave them... Nagulat ako ng may Magic Circle na lumabas sa tinutungtungan ko, at ramdam kong nadrain lahat ng powers ko sa katawan, at kaunti na lang ang natira, para akong naging normal mage.... Sinuutan ako ni Kuya ng kuwintas at ramdam kong nadrain din pati na ang mana ng grimoire book ko. "I sealed your powers, Ash. 'Cause I don't think you can hold your temper at your school..." He said then tinuro nya ang kuwintas ko. How can he be so sure that I will lose my temper? "And that necklace will seal your grimoire book's mana, just take it off, in case of emergency..." He said then niyakap nya ulit a ko ng mahigpit. Dahan dahan nya kong tinulak paantras at hinila sa direksyon ni Mom and Dad. Pagtingin ko sa direksyon nila gawa na ang portal at ang daming mga dugo at mga katawan ang mga nakahandusay sa sahig, Pagdating namin sa direksyon nila napaiyak ulit ako, niyakap ako ni Mom and Dad. Si Mom umiiyak na din habang si Dad hinahalikan ako sa noo. "Make sure you have a child with Kaiden, Baby. I want to see my grandchildren grow up..." Dad said jokingly while hiding the sadness in his eyes. Nagulat naman ako sa sinabi nya. "Then let's go already! If you want to see Lucas and I have a child, come with me!! I will make sure to have a child with him, Kahit ilan pa gusto nyo!, Just come with me, please?!" Pagmamakaawa kong sabi habang sinasakyan yung joke nya. Pinitik ni Dad ang noo ko. Tangina, ang sakit... "I'm just kidding, don't take my words seriously..." He said seriously kaya lalo ako napaiyak pero niyakap naman nya ulit ako. "Yes, I will not let that happen..." May binulong si Kuya sa ere habang nakakunot ang noo pero hindi namin narinig. "Kaiden's a good boy, I will give my blessing to him..." Mom said kaya lalo na naman akong napaiyak. Pati ba naman ikaw, Mom? Pinunasan ko ang luha ko at tinulak silang tatlo papunta sa portal. "Mom, Dad, Kuya, let's go already-" Pilit ko sa kanila pero umiling lang sakin si Mom at pumunta sila ni Dad papunta sa gitna ng living room. Laking gulat ko naman ng may bagong mga Dark Mages ang umatake... "We have to kill them all to make sure you're safe, Ash..." Mom said while wiping her tears away. Kaya nanigas ang buong katawan ko, that's the reason why they can't leave the mortal world... "BOOOOOMMM!" Sumabog ang pintuan namin sa main door at nagsipasok ang dose-dosenang mga Dark Mages sa bahay namin. Mas marami sila ngayon... Bakit ang desperado nilang kunin ako??!! "Ash, go!" Sigaw ni Mom habang binabali ang leeg ng kalaban nya. No. I can't leave them... "SWIIISHH!" "We'll be fine, Baby. Just be obedient and get out of here, please?" Namamakaawang sabi sakin ni Dad habang sinusuntok ang kalaban nya dahilan tumilapon ito sa pader, pero inilingan ko sya ng inilingan habang umiiyak... "CRASH!" "Don't mind us, Ash... You're their target so get out of here!!" Sabi ni Kuya pero nagulat ako ng itulak ako ni Kuya papasok sa portal na ginawa ni Mommy. "BOOOM!" Nagulat ako ng may sumabog sa loob ng living room pagkapasok na pagkapasok ko pa lang ng portal. Parang nag slow-mo sakin lahat ng nangyari... "MOM!!! DAD!!!! KUYA!!!!!" I shouted at them. They said my powers are special like my family does, but... Why this kind of power?! Why can't I control it?! I hate this... Being born with this kind of power is a misfortune in my life... Unti until ako napapikit dahil bumigat ang mga mata ko. *Blacks out!*
