Vien
AFTER SURVIVING another day in the last event, I got higher points acquired than the rest of the team. I actually flee from battle with the others. We parted ways and survived another day. Kaya't ako yung huling umuwi ng NSA sa aming apat. The three of them was confused when they didn't see me back after they got eliminated.
"Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!"
Mabilis ko namang naubos ang isang baso ng rum. I'm currently attending my special class as a Feign. You might wonder, why the hell are we drinking alcohol?
Well, isa sa mga activities ng Feign is to test our alcohol tolerance. It is really important to an agent not to get drunk easily. And that is one of the things that we need to ace as a Feign. An espionage agent or an undercover one, mostly attend parties and social gatherings to gain information. There will always be alcohol present, which is why we need to have high tolerance in our alcohol intake.
Another point of having alcohol tolerance is to avoid spatting information to another person. Hindi mo alam na isa palang agent yung kaharap mo. In the real field, this is really essential.
This is my 68th cup. Anim na kaklase ko na yung napatumba ko rito. I don't expect to defeat the remaining 32 but at least I already took down six. The activity is quite simple, the longest to remain sober will get higher points. Tig-dalawang tao lang yung pupunta rito sa table at kanya-kanyang turn naman kung natumba na yung isa.
"Go Vien!" sabay tawa ng malakas ni Tina sa likuran ko.
My mom had me practice on my alcohol intake back in high school. We even had alcohol showdowns a lot of times, the results are pretty obvious. I won--joke, do you think I can take down an agent in drinking? Much more, a Feign graduate? She won all those battles. Parati nalamang akong talo.
But even though I'm a loser I'm glad I mastered it a bit. Pero iba parin pala rito sa NSA, I didn't expect a freaking rum to be serve. Not just any rum, it's the Bacardi 151 (75.5% alcohol). Tapos walang chaser yung iniinom namin. Baka sa susunod vodka na ang ise-serve sa aming mga studyante.
"Boom! Bagsak si Veronica! AHAHAHAHA!" tawa ng malakas ni Yesah. She's from Taiwan but she can fluently speak Tagalog.
Napatingin naman ako sa kaklase ko sa harapan, she was indeed down. Binuhat ito ng dalawa kong kaklase paalis sa upuan nito at pumalit naman si Lulay.
After another 10 cups, I felt a sudden weird sensation and my head started palpitating.
"Chug! Chug! Chug! Vien! Vien! Vien!"
I drop my cup and it spilled the table. Mabilis ko namang itinukod ang kaliwang kamay ko sa mesa at pinigilan kong matumba.
"Alright, Vien is out--"
"Give me another one," I said and pushed my falling body up. "Another cup."
The room filled with laughter and 'ohhh's. Someone started tapping my back and cheered while others were smirking and enjoying the activity.
After another two cups. I fell down.

"I feel like throwing up again," I said. Magsasalita na sana itong si Lyka pero tumakbo ako papabalik sa isa sa mga comfort room rito sa aming locker room.
