'Join the Knight Army and find out their connection about the hidden laboratory'.
I can't believe him. He knows how much I hate the Army and now he's telling me to join that bunch of Knights.
"Where is he?" I said at nakita ko namang natakot si Jean sa pagbabago ng mood ko.
I can't blame her, I'm very pissed right now.
"Umalis siya kaninang umaga Zy"Tsk.
Sinigurado niya talagang hindi ako makakatanggi.
I will make him pay for this.

Ito na ang araw kung saan kukuha kami ng Knight Army examination.
Excuse kami sa lahat ng subject ngayong araw at kasalukuyan kaming nakasakay sa isang kalesa o chariot kung tawagin nila.
Hindi sa school gaganapin ang Knight army examination kundi sa Palasyo or The Military Base.
After a few minutes, we arrived.
Pagkabukas ng Golden Gate ay tumambad sa amin ang mga Soldiers.
"I am Loui, one of the 3 Generals of Knight Army." A man greeted us and he is the person in charge of strolling us around.
"This is the training camp of the Army." He said.
Lumakad siya kaya sumunod kami.
"This is the west wing of the Palace where the Knight Army headquarters is located"
Malaki ito at maraming mga kagamitan na nakaayos ang nasa gilid.
May Weapon's Room pa sila at kuwarto kung saan puwedeng magsanay ng mag isa.
Meron ding Conference room kung saan ginaganap ang mga meetings at tinatawag din itong Announcement Room.
The bed room is on the second floor while the office of the Lieutenant General and Colonel is on the third floor.
I can see the Knights laughing with each other and having fun. They looked like an ordinary person but deep inside is a sleeping monster.
Sunod kaming pumunta sa East wing kung saan nandoon ang cafeteria. It looks like a restaurant dahil sa ganda nito at sa mga masasarap na pagkaing nakahain.
At lastly ay ang Battle Court. This is where the Battle takes place, sometimes this is used if there's a celebration.
Pagdating namin doon ay may 5 tao kaming nakita. Yumuko kami bilang paggalang.
They are not an ordinary Knights base on their posture and strengi.
"They are the one who will test you, but before that let me introduce the five prodigies."
"This is Syrene Lay Kun" Tinuro niya ang babaeng may dilaw na buhok at berdeng mata. Rin's sister - the girl who I fought with, nung Combat training.
"Miho Reiji and Micah Reiji" They are siblings with blue hair and black eyes.
"Kazer Venji" A guy with ash gray hair and blue eyes. Siya lang ata ang marunong ngumiti sa kanilang lima.
"And Lieutenant colonel Zylan Stephen Allionor" Napansin kong medyo kakaiba ang damit niya kaysa sa ibang prodigies after all, he is the Lieutenant.
"We, the Feral Unit Knight Army will choose who among you is worthy to be called as Knights." He said full of authority.
I always heard rumors about them that they are all fearsome and strong.
Pinapunta niya kami sa isang kuwarto dito sa Battle Court. The room was empty except for a bulb and door, there's nothing in here.
Kaming tatlo lang ang nandito at hindi ko alam kung anong test ba itong sinasabi nila.
Narinig ko namang nagsalita ang Lieutenant.
"Survive, that's the only thing you need to do to passed this test".
Pagkatapos niya yung sabihin ay wala na akong marinig at makita.
Suddenly a loud noise make's me cover my ears.
Argggggggg. Sobrang sakit sa tenga ng naririnig ko. It feels like I'm going to die. Umiikot na rin ang panigin ko at parang gusto ko ng mawalan ng malay.
I can hear murmurs repeatedly. Bigla naman akong nabalik sa wisyo ng makaramdam ng presensya sa likod ko.
Pagtingin ko sa likod ay wala akong nakita. Puro dilim lang ang nakikita ko. But I can feel them, they are too many.
Narinig ko na naman ang nakakarinding ingay sa tenga ko at nadagdagan pa yun ng mga footsteps na tumatakbo.
Gusto kong sumigaw pero walang lumalabas na boses sa bibig ko.
Bigla ko namang naalala ang tinuro sa akin ni Genus.
"Ang mga illusionist ay pinupunterya nila ang utak ng isang tao, like me. Ko-kontrolin namin ang utak niyo kapag nagawa na naming sirain ito. Kadalasan naming ginagawang illusion ay ang mga ayaw niyong marinig o makita para mawala kayo sa sarili"
It hit me. This is an illusion created by an illusionist. I need to thank Genus for making me aware on this kind of thing.
The only thing I need to do is clear my mind. After that ay minulat ko na ang aking mata.
Smoke? Yan ang una kong nakita pagkagising ko.
Tsk. My head aches. Tumayo ako at nakita kong nakahiga sila Zein at Hiyara.
They are still under an illusion. Lumabas ako sa kuwarto at nakita ko naman sila doong nakatayo.
Nakita ko namang nakangiti si Lieutenant Dylan sa akin. That's the first time I've seen him smile.... Creepy😑
Kilala ko siya at sigurado akong namumukhaan niya pa rin ako.
"Nice. I thought you can't make it because you are screaming in pain lately. Hahaha" sabi niya na tumawa pa.
"Tsk" Umupo ako sa tabi niya since wala na akong makitang iba pang upuan dito kundi sa tabi niya lang.
Masakit pa rin ang ulo ko kaya kailangan kong magpahinga.
"I can't believe that you really join the Knight Army. I thought your not into this kind of thing." He said with a playful voice.
"Shut up" Kung hindi lang dahil sa lalaking yun. I'm not going to join this.
Narinig ko namang nagpipigil ng tawa itong katabi ko. Tsk.
"They only have one hour left, kapag hindi pa sila nagising ay-"naputol naman ang sasabihin ni Loui ng bumukas ang pintuan kung saan ako lumabas kanina.
Niluwa nito si Hiyara na hindi na makatayo ng maayos habang inaalalayan si Zein. They are talking to each other.
Kailan pa sila naging close? Mukhang naging busy ako lately kaya hindi ko napansing close na sila.
Ng makalapit na sila dito ay tumingin sila sa akin.
"Why?" Sabi ko at hindi na lang sila pinansin dahil nagsimula ng magsalita si Zylan.
"You all passed. Congratulations and welcome to the Feral Unit Knight Army"
This is it, there's no turning back. A new life is waiting for me tomorrow.
