YOUNG BLOOD (EDITING)

𝙲𝙷𝙰𝙿𝚃𝙴𝚁 𝟸𝟽

Sa lahat ng mga natirang kalahok, wala ni isa ang gustong kumalaban kay Winter kaya ang Team nila ang hinirang na panalo. Matapos ang laban ni Winter at ng grupo ni Matsugawa ay inanunsyo kaagad na sila ang nanalo sa tournament.

Marami ang natakot, nangamba, humanga at marami ring nagkainteres sa galing at bilis ni Winter sa pakikipaglaban. Mayroong mga opisyales ng Military ang gustong ipasok si Winter sa loob ng West Land Military Academy para doon tapusin ang kanyang pag-aaral, mayroon ding myembro ng Special Forces ang nagkainteres kay Winter, at higit sa lahat maraming mafioso ang gustong papirmahin si Winter sa kanilang kontrata upang maging myembro ng kanilang organisasyon.

"Tomorrow will be the day for our awarding of the Winners. Of course, everyone should be present for tomorrow's event because no one wants to miss this exciting awardings. We had a good fight tonight, let us all rest. Goodnight everyone."

Matapos sabihin iyon ng announcer ay agad nagsi-alisan ang lahat ng manonood. Umalis na rin kanina pa ang kapatid ni Winter na si North habang ang Young Blood naman ay dinaluhan ang pagod na pagod na si Winter na ngayon ay mahimbing na natutulog.

1 hour ago...

Muling sumugod ang mga kasamahan ni Matsugawa kay Winter, sabay-sabay silang lima at nang si Winter naman ang umatake sakanila.

"I don't want to wait any longer, those winners a while ago please proceed here inside the octagon."

Matapos sabihin iyon ni Winter ay agad napailing ang mga natitirang kalahok, mabilis silang naka-tanggi sa imbitasyong sinabi ni Winter maliban na lamang kay Dorian at ni Kilowatt na agad lumapit sa kanilang lider nang mapatingin ito sa kanila.

"I guess, we will be the victors of this year's West Land Tournament," giit ng dalaga at tumingin sa staff na nakatitig rin sa kaniya ngayon.

"Fernsby Vs. Matsugawa, Winner: Fernsby. No one dared to fight the three members of Team YOUNG BLOOD, that covers it all that YOUNG BLOOD IS THE VICTOR OF THIS YEAR'S TOURNAMENT."

"Winter..." mahinang sabi ni Dorian.

"I'm in control now, thanks."

"Yokatta..." bulong ni Kilowatt.

"I want to sleep."

"Alright, come here." Agad na binuhat ni Dorian si Winter at agad rin namang nakatulog sa kaniyang bisig si Winter dahil sa pagod.

-

"How is she?" Damara asked the doctor incharge of Winter.

"She's fine, she just needs to rest." Parang nabunutan naman ng tinik ang lima at naupo sa sofa. Nandito na sila ngayon sa kanilang hotel room at pinapunta lamang nila ang doktor upang i-check ang kalagayan ni Winter.

"I can't believe, Winter's sage mode is unbeatable. Kahit ba si North hindi kayang talunin si Winter?" tanong ni Otis.

"Even North is scared of Winter's sage mode. North always hold the upper hand in their family because he's the eldest, but he failed to inherit his father's teachings and that is being able to kill hundreds of people in sage mode without being easily exhausted," sagot ni Dorian.

"That's the reason why her family treasure her so much? Winter is already in the right age to live outside their mansion just like North, Ice, and Frostine when they were at Winter's age but they didn't allow her until now because she inherited her father's teaching, the sage mode," giit ni Damara.

"You hit the bingo. It's because she's a treasure in their family and of course, it's for everybody's safety," sagot muli ni Dorian.

"That's also the reason why her mother don't want her to live outside the mansion because she might kill hundreds of people in West Land if her sage mode got activated. She can be benefit for them but she can also be the doom of everyone in West land," Damara stated.

"Ngayong sinabi mo 'yan, naiintindihan ko na," usal ni Kilowatt na kanina pa palipat-lipat ng tingin kay Dorian at kay Damara na nag-uusap. "Kung gano'n, nakakatakot nga si Winter? She's like a man-made monster."

"Stop it, Watts. Baka magising bigla si Winter. Ma-choke me mommy ka talaga, magaya ka pa kay Matsugawa." Mahinang tumawa ang mga kasama nila dahil sa sinabi ni Vander ngunit nagpatuloy pa rin ang kanilang diskusyon.

"If her sage mode is man-made, then why can't Lord Norton create another monster in his eldest? " Otis asked.

"He tried but it wasn't successful. He tried creating monster in North, Ice, Frostine, Winter, and Colden but Winter is his only success. Winter is the symbol of perfection in their clan due to that success," Dorian explained.

"But why Winter?" Damara asked.

"Ang dami niyong tanong, 'pag si Dorian nag-sage mode rin baka ubos tayo," Kilowatt joked.

"Because she loves bloodshed, she loves seeing a pool full of blood, she loves seeing people bathing in their own blood and that made her a success, her bloodlust."

"Totoo?"

"Pero ilang months din naman tayong magkasama bakit never naman siyang inatake ng bloodlust niya?" Otis curiously asked.

"Oo nga, Dorian."

"That's because no one triggered it. Kanina she was triggered because she saw her brother, North. It's been a year since they last saw each other but she's still scared of him and because of that fear, she wants to defeat North and she thought, by defeating everyone, she will be able to defeat him."

"I don't get it," Otis mumbled.

"In short, she wants to be much stronger than anyone to be able to beat North so that she won't be scared of him anymore." Damara said.

"Bingo."

"So she won't be triggered unless makita niya si North?" tanong ni Vander.

"No. There's still a possibility that her sage mode will be activated without North. Example, someone from our team will be in a critical condition because of a fight. Oras na gustuhin niyang matalo ang sino mang nanakit sa atin ay maaaring ma-activate ang sage mode niya," Damara explained.

Matapos sabihin iyon ni Damara ay wala nang nangahas pang mag salita ang sino man sa kanila. Even Kilowatt na palaging maingay ay tahimik at tulalang nakatitig kay Winter. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi parin nap-proseso sa utak niya ang nangyari kanina sa Tournament. Hindi biro ang nangyari kay Matsugawa na binawian na ng buhay at sa mga kasama nitong hanggang ngayon ay critical pa rin ang kalagayan.

"I'm thankful that i am not your opponent, Winter," mahinang bulong ni Kilowatt.
