Chapter 38

Nanlaki ang mga mata nila maliban kay Aidan na kanina pa tahimik at nagmamasid. He keeps on looking at the necklace like he'd seen it before.

"R-Really? Then we should search for it immediately!" Ivy exclaimed.

"Yeah! The sooner, the better," Ella agreed. They look so happy.

"But how? How should we search for it?" tanong naman ni Liam.

"Kailangan ba na isa-isahin ang mga studyante dito?" tanong ni Tin.

Aeron moved his head left and right like he's saying 'no'. "We can broadcast it."

"Mas mapapadali nga 'yon!" sigaw ni Ivy.

"But we can't tell them that it's for the Holy weapon." Ani Aria. Pakiramdam niya ay kung ipapalabas 'yon, magkakaroon ng malaking problema.

"Why?"

"It might cause some trouble."

"Hindi naman ata 'yan."

Umiling si Aria. "Please, just don't tell them about the Holy weapon. Our search might get delayed or stopped because of it."

"Are you suspecting someone in the academy?" Victoria asked.

"No. But I'm afraid that someone might be lurking around us to get pieces of information." Paliwanag niya sa kanila.

"She's right," napatingin sila kay Aidan na nagsalita. "We'll search for it starting tomorrow."

Tinapos nila ang pagkain at nagsiuwian na. Kailangan nilang magpahinga dahil grabe ang naging training nila kanina. Kaagad nakatulog ang mga ito pagkahiga. Maliban kay Aria na ang daming iniisip.

She stared at the necklace she's holding while she's lying on her bed.

She hopes they would find it immediately. Para malaman na niya kung tama ba ang iniisip niya.

It's their second day of looking for the necklace and they still have no clue where to find it. Walang nakakakilala sa necklace na pinakita. They didn't broadcast it but they asked the students about it. And alam nilang kaagad itong kakalat at pag-uusapan. But just like what they talked about, they wouldn't tell why they were looking for it. Dahil nga sikat at nirerespeto sina Aidan, Aeron, Ivy at Victoria dati pa, sumusunod kaagad ang mga studyante sa pinapagawa o tinatanong sa kanila.

"Haay! Sana naman may makaalam na kung nasaan 'yong kapareha ng kwintas mo, Ria," sabi ni Tin pagkatapos pabagsak na umupo sa upuan.

"Well, it's normal for it to be hard to find. Malaki ang campus at marami ang mga studyante," Ani Aeron.

Pumasok si Aeron sa dorm nila kasama si Ivy at Victoria.

"May lead na kayo?" Liam asked.

Umiling si Victoria. "Wala pa rin."

"We should also include the teachers and council if we could in our search." Napatingin silang lahat kay Aidan na siyang nagsalita.

Aria nodded. "It's not just the students that are here in the campus, maybe the teachers and faculty staffs knows about this one."

"Okay, bukas sisimulan namin na magtanong sa mga teachers," Aeron said.

"Okay lang ba 'yon?" nag-aalalangang tanong ni Ivy.

Ivy shrugged. "It might be, or might be not. But we should try it."

"Sa tingin ko okay lang kung kayo ang magtatanong. The teachers knows you four as a strong and reasonable student. Iisipin nila na importante itong ginagawa niyo kaya okay lang sa kanila." Pahayag ni Liam.
