Capítulo 3: How Did I Land Here??
"What do you think happened to him?" Boy 1 asked as he looked over my face.
"I don't know, I can't think of anything other than an attack," Boy 2 responded.
"Yeah, considering the wound on the back of his head," Boy 1 replied.
"What is going on here?" I asked in a pained, soft voice, it seems like I was unconscious and just getting myself.
"You guys should let the poor boy rest," a girl said.
"Look, look, he's waking up," Boy 2 said excitedly.
"What is going on here? Ann.. Annale..." I repeated, my voice weak.
"Move aside, let me see," the girl said hurriedly as she pushed the other boys out of the way.
My head was still banging but I had to open my eyes and see for myself, I opened my eyes, only to find a female face very close to mine. It was frightening, to say the least.
"What is ha... ppening...?" I mumbled.
"Wow, he's such a cutie, just look at his eyes. I've never seen eyes this blue or hair this dark brown before. He's my perfect prince charming," she said.
"Where am I?" I asked, moving my face away from hers because well, that was weird and making me uncomfortable.
"Oh, this is the sick bay. This is the MISFIT CLASH ACADEMY," the Mysterious boy answered.
"How did I get here?"
"You were found lying unconscious near the school gates. They brought you here," Boy 2 replied.
"Don't move; you have a head injury," Boy 2 warned.
"Oh, that must be why my head hurts so bad. But how did I get that injury?"
"How did I get the... OUCH!!! MY HEAD!!" I tried placing my hand on my head but that was not a pretty good move.
"I said don't move. Let me introduce myself. I'm Kevin, a swordsman. The guy with me here is Henry, a warlock (a male magic user), and this damsel beside you is—"
"Shhhhhhhh," she interrupted, putting her index finger on his lips. "I can introduce myself. Pardon him; my name is Felicia, an enchantress—the best in my class and a pro at everything."
"Be polite, Henry," Kevin said.
"Don't mind the peasant," Felicia added smugly.
"Wait, look at his arm! An 'S' tattoo just appeared, meaning..." Henry began.
"Meaning he's a warlock. Wow, I'm so happy! That means we're meant to be together. How would our wedding be?" Felicia started fantasizing, her tone was so loud and annoying.
What the heck were they talking about? I can literally see the saliva bmfly and blend in the air, An S tattoo? Let me not bother about that but, The thought of marrying a girl like her disgusted me, I dont even know her, I tried to maintain my cool though but at the same time keep a good distance between our faces.
"That's enough; you guys should get to class now," the nurse said as she entered the room.
"Yes, ma'am," they all chorused as they left.
"See you later, handsome," Felicia said.
"Don't mind them; let's check your head, dear," the nurse said as she raised my head for me and rested my back against the wall near the bed.
"Honey, can you tell me what happened to your head?" she asked.
"Well, umm, the thing is... the... Hmmm... I don't remember hitting my head anywhere. I was... (Wait, wasn't I just with Sylvia and Annalise? What happened to me? I remember I was about to choose my two abilities, but it looks like I chose magic. What did I choose after that? Ooohhh, my head hurts.)"
"Sorry, dear, looks like you have amnesia."
"Wow, great, I have amnesia again. This is the worst."
"Don't worry. Once you finish your medication, you can join the other students in the classroom."
"Did she say classroom? This isn't what I signed up for."
"Ma'am, I don't want to study—"
"You don't have to call me ma'am; you can call me Rose."
The Red haired lady said, she had a striking brown eyes to contrast her whitish face, she was wearing a white nurse outfit said to me, she is about 5'5 in height, not fat but has an average size.
"Okay, but I don't want to study. I appreciate the help, I need to go. I have something important to do."
Rose would reply saying, "Well, that might have been the case, but now that tattoo has appeared on your hand. You have to learn your spells and how to use them. That's mandatory by the rules."
"Forget the system; I have things to do. I'm leaving."
As I stood up to leave, Rose quickly injected something into my neck. "Sorry, but I had to do this," she said.
"WHAT THE.... Wha..."
I could barely stand, but still, I tried to move closer to the door. Then, suddenly, I became deaf. Panic set in, and I started shouting for help, but no one came. I gradually lost my sight, my body grew heavier, and my heartbeat slowed down.
It felt like death was coming for me again, but this time, not Annalise—something darker. I didn't want to die again; I was terrified but I'm aware I can't die, I can't Right? Then I remembered what Annalise had told me as I collapsed like a pillar losing its strength.
That was painful. All this pain in just a day—who have I wronged?
I couldn't move or see anything anymore, but then I heard, "This is the only part you can take for now." It was Sylvia, I don't really know why I thought that but it was just a sure hunch.
---
My body hurts even more now. Wait! I can finally move. So I didn't die? Oh yeah, I can't die. Waking up again in the same sick bay, with Rose by my side.
"Oh, thank God you're awake," she said.
"OH, my body hurts so much. What did you give me?"
"I couldn't help it. The authorities said I had to keep you here no matter what."
Sigh. It had to happen again. How did I get myself into this mess? I'm stuck here and can't even leave? Well, on the bright side, this is where Annalise wanted me to be. But I still want out. Did I even plan on following her plan? Since I'm here, I might as well see what I can gain. I'll escape later, I will just have to blend in for now, then run out when the opportunity strikes because what's this about keeping me here by all means? Since when am I Property just for healing me.
"Hmmmmm, okay, I'll let it slide since staying here is the only way out. So when do I start my class?"
"Noooo, you need to rest," Rose insisted, but I didn't want to. I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, I've rested enough. I've got the strength."
"Well, I can't argue with that since you've been asleep for two days straight."
"WOOHOO, DAYS!!! Are you sure? What did you give me?"
"smiles Yes, I'm sure. I injected you with the Imperil Serum. It shuts down the whole body for a while, or in your case, for days. I'm very sorry."
"Fine, but you have to promise me you won't do that again."
"I promise. Okay, let's get you to your class."
She grabbed me and helped me up. We walked out and went in different directions. I noticed the school was huge. I saw swordsmen training. "Wow, they have a lot of speed and agility," I said.
"Oh yes, a mage will get magic. There are different types of magic like dark magic, light magic, mind magic, elemental magic, shadow magic, blood magic, and so on. It's vast, and every mage like you gets two random types that they will learn and use for life. A swordsman will gain enhanced speed, stamina, strength, agility, and durability. As for archers, they get the same enhancements except for strength. Instead, they gain night vision and 10x better eyesight."
"Wow, that's so cool," I replied.
"Well, we're here. This is the classroom," Rose said.
Mages. Wow, so this is the MAGE classroom. I can't wait to see what we're going to be doing.
I slid the door open, and to my surprise, there were just a few people in the class. They turned to look at me, and then the teacher spoke, "Wow, okay, so our new intake is ready for class. Can you please introduce yourself?"
"All right," I said. "My name is Anon Hemsworth, and I am a warlock; that's all I can say."
"Wow, he is so mature and fine. He's damn handsome," Girl 1 spoke.
"Yes, he is," Girl 2 added.
"I told you guys, and now you believe me," Felicia revealed.
"Yes, we can see you weren't lying," Girl 3 agreed.
"You guys should let him rest; he's just recovering," the teacher stated.
"He's not that handsome," Boy 2 muttered.
"Jealousy in the air," Girl 4 teased.
WHOLE CLASS QUARRELING
"Class, quiet!" the teacher ordered.
silence
"My name is Stella, but you will address me as Miss Stella," the teacher instructed.
"Okay, ma'am."
"You can take your seat beside Angel over there," Miss Stella pointed.
"Ma'am, he can sit here," Felicia said, pushing a boy off his seat.
"STOP THAT!!" Miss Stella shouted.
"I don't mind, ma'am. I'm sick and tired of her. Let him sit here," the boy said.
"Okay, Angel, do you mind?" Miss Stella asked.
"No, ma'am, I don't," Angel replied.
"Yes!!!" Felicia said happily.
"Well, ma'am, I do mind. Can I sit beside Angel?"
"It's your choice," Miss Stella said.
I walked up to sit beside Angel.
"Hi," I said to Angel.
"Why are you talking to me? Why didn't you sit beside Felicia?"
"I don't like her attitude, and I don't want to deal with that every class. Is there a problem?"
"You're dead," Felicia whispered to Angel.
"What was that all about?" I asked Angel.
"Well-- Well, her father is the principal of this academy, and she can manipulate him to do things that aren't right. I don't want to deal with that. Please, can you go sit beside her?" Angel replied with fear.
"Well, I'm sorry, but I can't do that. I'll stay here, and..."
"Stop the chatting!" Miss Stella interrupted. "In our next class, we will visit the school's library and will get our unique magic. Understand?"
The whole class responded, "YES MA'AM."
"If you won't change, then I will, Miss Stella!" Angel called out suddenly.
Why is all this happening to me? Can't I just have a normal day?
"Yes, Angel, you called me?"
"Ma'am, can I switch seats with Felicia?" Angel asked.
"Angel! That's very rude. Why would you do that to a new student? I'm not allowing that. Class dismissed."
As classmates began walking out, Angel turned to me. "Since we can't switch, can you please just avoid me?"
"Well, I can't do that. We're seat partners."
I moved closer to her, but she started running away.
Have I wronged anyone in any way? What kind of life is this? "Angel, wait!" I called after her. All I wanted was a friend. Is that too much to ask for?
I ran after her and eventually caught up. "Why are you behaving like this? It's not like you'll be removed from the school, will you?"
"That's where you're wrong," Angel said, her voice filled with fear. "Students have gone rogue, been expelled, or even left the school of their own free will. But I don't want to leave. I want to become a SUPREME ENCHANTRESS."
"Who is a SUPREME ENCHANTRESS?" I asked.
"A supreme enchantress is a mage chosen based on how strong they are, to rule the common realm alongside the SUPREME WARLOCK, SUPREME SWORDSMAN, and SUPREME ARCHER. And I can't achieve that if I get expelled or go rogue, because they only accept people who pass through the school."
"So you're telling me I can leave, but the nurse didn't allow me to. She said I must stay."
"I don't know why, but maybe they've seen something in you that they need," Angel replied.
"Okay, I promise I'll keep you here no matter what. From what you just told me, I can use that to our advantage."
"What do you mean? How?"
"I'll make a condition for them: if they want to keep me here, they'll have to keep you too, or I'll leave."
"That wouldn't work. And if it does, how sure are you it'll keep me here until I graduate?" Angel questioned.
"Well, there's only one way to find out. And if it doesn't work, I'll make it up to you."
"Just... leave me be for now," Angel muttered as she walked away.
Without knowing where my room was, I returned to the sick bay to rest. I slept until the next morning.
