4 Dark Kings

Dark 28: Battles

Black's POV

Alexa Florendo, the girl we are suspecting to be Bloody Queen. She has great accuracy and her skills in using a gun are praiseworthy. She effortlessly hits her target and confidence can be seen all over her face.

If she's really Bloody Queen, I no longer wonder why she was also called the Queen of Guns.

But she's not the only one. Stephen also has the same skills and they can be par with each other.

For the first round of this activity, we were just silently seating on the reserved seats for us while observing them. We also know that the heiresses are here and watching from the bleachers.

When the final round of this activity came and the cage of birds was brought inside, Ethan, Giovanni and I became more observant than earlier. We looked at Alexa and a smirk almost formed on my lips.

Queens value innocent lives. They wouldn't save people and stop gang fights if they don't anyway.

But if we say innocent lives, hindi lang tao. It can be animals or any other creatures on the planet. And if that's the case, then these innocent birds being targets will somehow affect them.

I also looked back to see the reactions of the heiresses. And as expected, they have the same reaction as Alexa.

Their lips parted in shock and I can already see the worry in their eyes. They are obviously thinking what to do next, especially Alexa who is now looking anxious.

"Is this why you suggested that?"

I only nodded with Ethan's question who probably noticed me glancing at those girls' direction. Well, let's just say I tampered with the original plan of this activity.

The targets should be moving toy cars. But I suggested real birds and even payed for it myself.

Of course the school won't allow it. But when I assured them the birds won't get killed, even if confused, they agreed.

At lahat ng iyon ay para lang makita ang magiging reaksyon ng heiresses. And I think it's worth it.

When the emcee is about to start the round, Stephen glanced at our direction. We only nodded at him and he just shrugged before smirking at Alexa.

Like what was planned, instead of firing at the birds, he shot the gym's ceiling multiple times, making a little hole where the birds can get through. Then he widely opened the cage and the birds immediately flew for their freedom.

Shock is evident on every student's face and the heiresses are no exemption to that. These two beside me just shrugged while I smirked.

But my smirk immediately faded when Stephen suddenly took the mic from the emcee and shouted in an annoyed tone.

"Ang tanga naman ng nag-isip nito! Bakit mga ibon? Dapat mga pangit na lang para nakatulong pa kayo sa lipunan. Tsk," he said. "Humanda sa akin 'yung nag-isip nito. Siya babarilin ko sa mukha hanggang sa pumangit lalo. Bakit hindi niyo ako tularin? Gwapo na, matalino pa!"

The students clapped their hands and even laughed with that. Dahan-dahan namang tumingin sa akin sila Giovanni at Ethan habang bumalik ang ngisi ko.

I wonder if Stephen can still remember I was the one who planned all of this.

"Tanga pala, huh?"

"Sorry na!"

"Tsk."

I just rested my back against the wall while we are here inside Ethan's office. Kanina pa tumatawa iyong dalawa habang si Stephen, kulang na lang lumuhod sa harapan ko dahil sa sinabi niya kanina.
