MYSTERIUM CLAVA (VOLUME 1) - PUBLISHED UNDER TBC PRINTERY

CHAPTER 2

ISthis real? Am I really an official member of Mysterium Clava? 'Diko alam kung ano mararamdaman ko. I feel so pressured and excited butat the same time, I am so honor to be a member of the club.

"Hi! You knowDave it is really been a while mula no'ng huling may magpunta ditoat nagka-interes sumali sa club. Kaya we are really so happy that youdecided to join Mysterium Clava!" sabi ni Nzib with a very highenergy.

"Thank you somuch. Actually, I was a fan of mystery and detective stuffs when I'mwas a kid, at super fan din ako ng Sherlock Holmes novel ni Mr.Arthur Conan Doyle!" I said to Nzib with so much excitement.Then Toby put down his book and gave me a very cold stare in the eye.

"Just to setexpectations, being in this club is not a game, we take real lifecases and may chance that our lives are at stake here. Kung sumali kalang dito para maging detective-like or maglaro bilang detective thenyou are in the wrong club, baka sa theater club pwede pa,"malamig na sabi ni Toby sabay balik sa pagbabasa nang kanyang libro.I was kinda offended sa sinabi niya pero hindi ako nagpatinag kay Mr.I-don't-care-vice-president.

I cleared my throatbefore I shout. "First of all, Mr. Vice President, I didn't justjoin this club just for fun or what. Sumali ako dito dahil ito talagaang matagal ko nang gusto gawin, this is my dream!"

"Enough!"Tetsuya shouted as he stepped in the tension between me and the vicepresident. Toby just turned around at bumalik na sa pagbabasa ngkaniyang libro. Halata rin sa hitsura niya ang pagkainis dahil sakanyang pagkapahiya.

"I like herguts, but learn also that he is an officer of this club and also amaster of deductions. And you are just a newbie here, so learn somerespect," said by the club president with his very cold andterrifying voice.

When suddenly, Iheard 3 'beeps.' What is that sound? Where is it coming from?Saan nanggagaling 'yon?

Lumapit sa akin siNzib dahil siguro nakita niya sa akin na medyo naco-confuse ako aboutsa tumutunog.

"Hey Dave! Thatbeep sound is from our secretary's laptop. Naka-connect kasi 'yangalarm na 'yan sa system natin dito sa club room. Maririnig mo 'yankapag may message na s-in-end sa ating official page ang mga clientsa campus na may tanong or mga kaso na gusto nilang ipatingin oripa-investigate sa atin." pagpapaliwanag ni Nzib. Then, kinuhani Ryn ang kaniyang laptop atsaka binasa ang message at sabay tinginkay Craige.

"Craige? Thisis a message from the chemistry professor, Professor Deo Barcelon andhere is his message and I quote: 'Ineed your help Mysterium Clava, I have some lost bottles ofhydrogen peroxide and I want you to find the culprit behind thesestealings.'"Then lumapit si Craige to see the message then humarap siya sa lahat.

"Alright!Tetsuya, Toby and you!" He called while looking at me. Wait?W-what? Me?

"You are anewbie here so, you are going to under our training. This is to seeif you really have the potential to be a regular member of MysteriumClava. Now, go to the chemistry lab." Craige ordered at agad nakami umalis para pumunta sa laboratory na sinasabi nila.

-

PAGDATINGnamin sa Chemistry Lab ay sinalubong kami ng isang lalaki na maysalamin, nakasuot na lab coat, at may gulo-gulong mga buhok. Satingin ko he is at his early 40's and I presume na siya ang chemistryprofessor na in-charge sa laboratory na ito.

"MysteriumClava! Buti at nandito na kayo, this is insane! Gusto ko nang mahanapniyo kung sinomang demonic thief ang nagnanakaw dito sa laboratoryko!" galit at gigil na sabi nang professor. "Well, waitlang? Mukhang may bagong member ang club niyo ah?" curious natanong ni Professor habang nakatingin sa akin. Nilapitan ako niTetsuya para ipakilala ako.
