FORTY-TWO

UNLEASHING YOUR POWERS (PART TWO)

GIOVANNI CLOSED her eyes and groaned heavily. This is something she has always feared. She needs to show who she truly is. To be honest, she has no idea how it feels to be the Holder of the Fates. She knew she wasn't herself, and seeing those triggers when she first used her powers made her even more afraid of everything.

"Giovanni, you have to at least try."

'Try? What would you try? Try to believe in what I can do. As if I could accomplish it.' Until recently, she struggled to fit in. Pakiramdam ni Giovanni, lahat ng nasa paligid niya ay maaring lokohin siya anuman oras 'pag binigay niya ang tiwala niya and worst case scenario, she could be used as a pawn again.

Everything happened so quickly, from her waking up to seeing herself in the midst of battle, to a villain sentencing her to death, and the scientists and Greek Gods are both frightened about her existence, so they want her dead. At this point, she's worried whether her strength is sufficient to save Twilight Vale.

Sir Milverton could only sigh and place his hands in his pocket, "Being like this won't get you anywhere. Are you still concerned that King Moonstone will get involved again?"

"Keep quiet! I never ask for your opinion." Giovanni was still shaking, and she was unable to even look at anyone at this time.

"I saw your data, and I knew you acted like a pawn for the noble family in Mudned. Also, how long will you continue to wait? You must be ready for war since no one knows when Fate will try to play with you."

Natahimik na lang si Giovanni sa mga sinabi niya. Ganun naman palagi. She has a lot on her mind right now. Of how burdensome this is for her.

She tried to get up on her knees ngunit ang mga binti ni Giovanni ay walang lakas upang magpatuloy sa paglalakad. Parang isang malaking bloke ang pumipigil sa kanya na gamitin ang kanyang kapangyarihan.

At kahit anong sabihin ni Sir Milverton, she couldn't do it. This isn't getting anywhere. He made it plain throughout class that he wanted to see all of his students' abilities and strength. However, he couldn't imagine Sir Milverton would see her in such bad shape.

"It leaves me no other choice." Agad na naglakad si Sir Milverton and called upon Isabella, para makalapit siya sa harap.

"Sir, what am I–"

"Release your spear and fight that little princess in front of you."

Napalunok na lang si Isabella at umiling-iling siya. Hindi niya kayang gawin 'yon lalo na't ganun na lamang ang kalagayan niya.

"This is too cruel. Sir, I am unwilling to do that. Giovanni, as you can see, isn't doing well." She grumbled. "I can't fight her like this. It's not right."

"Really? Are you kids simply playing here, or what? If you were in a war, would you just stand? We don't know how many scientists and Greek gods will be at war by then, and you're telling me you'll let this horrible situation get the best of you? I told you that I wouldn't treat you like babies, and I mean it."

Isabella sighed, "I honestly thought that among those here, Henry is the worst but looks like I'm wrong."

"Pre, masama ka raw!" sabay hampas ni Lux kay Henry, na agad naman sinamaan siyang sinamaan nito ng tingin saka humalakhak ng malakas.

"Boi, ang liwanag mo. Pero alam mo kung ano'ng mas malala? 'Yung bwisit mong bunganga!" sigaw ni Henry pabalik sa kanya.

He rolled his eyes at him, and Xandria, who was in the back, couldn't believe how devious her brother was just now. 'Di sila narito upang maglaro. And these two behave similarly to opposite charges in atoms. And it sure feels like that.

Xandria shoved her head to the side, annoyed by those two. All she wants is for the lecture to end.

"You can say whatever you like, but this is my way of teaching you." Sir Milverton crossed his arms and glared furiously at Isabella, "You're missing the entire point of this lesson. If you think this is supposed to make you feel bad, you are mistaken. I'm preparing you."

Isabella was quite hesitant, but she had no choice but to point her spear at her, and she simply groaned and grabbed her spear. "I'm sorry, Giovanni pero kailangan kong gawin 'to para maipakita ang tunay mong kakayahan. "Your powers are more powerful than you realize."

Isabella can sense Giovanni's anxiety since she possesses high emotional power, empathy, and the ability to manipulate light and darkness. Just look at how she stays in the same position, sobbing, avoiding everything she needs to accomplish at once. To be honest, she does not want to fight her like this.

"Then here I go," she said.

Agad namang tumakbo si Isabella at walang pag-aalinlangang ibinato ang kanyang spear kay Giovanni. She didn't want to do it, but she projected her aura all around her, and blue foam wrapped her. Isabella's eyes blazed as she tried to influence Giovanni by regulating her emotions. At the same time, this caused her distress.

"Emotional Manipulation,"

Napahawak na lamang si Giovanni sa kanyang ulo, at 'di niya maintindihan kung ano ang kanyang nararamdaman. Tumulo ang kanyang mga luha and she became terrified and was unable to move.

This power is excessively strong. If Isabella could, she can sense and manipulate the emotions, including feelings, moods and their affects, of themselves, people, animals and other creatures, whether by increasing, decreasing, causing or otherwise channeling emotions, even manifesting the emotional energy to physical level.

NOW THAT Isabella has manipulated her emotions, she stands firm and is putting Giovanni down. And she did not even fight back. She couldn't determine whether this was a fight or not.

Binato na lang niya ang spear niya and she scowled at her, "Are you kidding me?" Whom am I fighting? A weakling? Just take her to the infirmary now. This is a waste of my time and effort."

Isabella gazed down at the spear and sighed. Dali-dali siyang bumalik sa upuan niya at tumabi kay Ephron and she carefully crossed her arms, "What's up with her?" She suddenly pouted and turned her face away.

"That's a good fight," Bati naman sa kanya ni Ephron and thumbs up at her at saka niya naman 'to nginitian. "And you didn't even held back at all. That's still the Archduchess, you know?"

"I don't even want to fight her at this level, gayunpaman sinabi na rin ni Sir Milverton na dapat mong gamitin ang lahat ng iyong kakayahan sa klase na 'to. Kaya dito tayo nagtraining!"Isabella just shrugged at him and quickly flipping her hair.

Nagulat ang lahat nang hampasin ni Henry ang mesa at mabilis na naglakad papunta sa kinaroroonan ni Giovanni. She was unconscious. If he had been there, he could have given his all. All of these are just bullshit.

If Henry is going to say anything, it's that they were all being controlled here inside. If he were with her, he could have been gentler with the training. He despises all of the ridiculous rules that have been imposed here. All he could do was softly reach out his hands and bring Giovanni up.

"Excuse me, but I'm not going to continue this training. I'm taking her." Wala siyang alinlangan na umalis at saka niya sinarado ng pabalang ang pintuan. He doesn't have to speak it; he can express it through his actions.

"Galit siya kahit 'di niya sabihin," Lux replied.

Now, the entire classroom was enveloped in darkness at halos wala man lang makita sa loob ng kwarto. Suddenly, they all freaked out, and tension filled the classroom. And suddenly everyone is saying, "What's with this darkness!?"

Henry looked at them for a time, showing no pity. Indeed, he couldn't stop himself from trusting any of the cabin members or the entire academy. Sir Milverton could easily show off if he so desired.

Using the power of the Personal Darkness, he can manipulate their own darkness and dark energy. Using this ability, one can effectively manipulate one's own visibility by absorbing light, create a personalized field of shade or wield it for specialized techniques like attacks and defense.

"As expected of Hades' son," Sir Milverton crossed his arms and looked at Lux. "Son of Apollo, make some light or something." We can't continue the class since Henry has surrounded us in darkness."

"Ah, opo sir!"

Dinuro siya ni Sir Milverton saka siya ngumisi, "And regarded it as your instruction next to the Aphrodite daughter."

"It's Isabella," Sagot ni Isabella sa malayo at parehas silang inirapan.

Dali-dali naman na lumapit ang lalaking may blonde na buhok and he adjusted his facemask up to his mouth at pagkatapos ay itinali niya ang golden mask na suot niya. At siya'y pupunta sa harapan and now fixing his tie at tiningnan niya silang lahat bago nagpakilala.

He creates a light beam around his palms, and then a powerful light energy instantly releases and then Lux creates, shape and manipulate energy derived from or related to light. It can be channeled to a variety of effects as an absence of darkness. And this ability is a Light Energy Manipulation.

Si  Lux ay isa mga anak ni Apollo na may kakayahang magbigay ng malakas na enerhiya ng liwanag. They even referred to him as "Hope of the Lyre."

Ibinaba ni Lux ang kanyang face mask at huminga ng malalim, pagkatapos ay ngumiti sa kanila, "Hi! Hola! Sawasdee! Zdravo! I'm Lux. "The Son of Apollo." He flashed them a smile at halos lumiwanag siya sa kabuuan, napahawak sila sa kanilang mga mata.

"Ang liwanag mo!"
