CHAPTER 02

Chapter 02:
Miracle Heart Academy

"Heavy your attack and don't let your guards down, Tashna! You're too repulsive! Don't try to withdraw quickly when you are in close contact. Fight him and show what you've got!".

Sigaw ni Papa sa malayo habang pinapanood kami ni Troye na maglaban. We're in a battle combat training at kasalukuyang tumatagaktak ang pawis ko dahil sa pagod.

I started training two days after I got here. It's now my 3 months of training and I still can't figure out how I can beat Troye when it comes to one-on -one battles.

He's too powerful and smart. His just toying me while I'm pushing myself hard to fight him. Nakangiti lamang ito sakin habang pinapahirapan ako sa mga dipensa nya.

He gave me a powerful and heavy attack with his dagger that make my two blade sword thrown from who-knows where. Napaupo ako sa pagod at hinabol ang hininga ko. Halos limang oras na kaming naglalaban ng walang pahinga.

"Tired already, Tash?". Ngumisi sya sakin bago umupo sa harap ko.

"Obviously". I answered between panting. Inirapan ko sya ng tinawanan nya ako.

Ramdam ko ang presensya ni Papa na papunta sa direksyon namin kaya nilingon ko sya.

"Don't just swing your swords towards him. Think and surprised him with a great defense. You're too readable, Tash. Sa sobrang dali nyang basahin ang mga galaw mo ay ilang segundo lamang ay bumagsak kana. You should know that the best".

"Just give me a minute to breathe, Pa. I'll beat him after this".

Dinig ko ang sarkastikong pagtawa ni Troye kaya sinamaan ko sya ng tingin.

"You should". Papa said and returned to his post.

Papa is strict when it comes to my training. Wala syang pinapalampas na mga mali ko at lagi akong pinapagalitan dahil doon. I understand him. Hindi nya ako pini-pressure pero pakiramdam ko ay kailangan ko pang galingan at mapatunayan na magaling na'ko.

I need to passed the enrollment test of Miracle Heart Academy that popularly known as 'Test of Hell'. Pangalan pa lang ay alam ko ng mahirap ang test na 'yon.

But I need something to prove and being weak is not part of my plan. Troye said that the students' capability of that academy is beyond his skills right now.

Ibig sabihin lamang 'non ay wala pa ako sa kalingkingan ng mga estudyanteng nandoon.

"I'll get serious now, Tashna. I hope you do too". Troye warned me and switch to his serious mode. I really hate it when he is like this, dahil alam kong mas malakas sya kapag seryoso.

But I can't stay being weak. Kailangan ko nang maipakita ang improvement ko sa harap ni Papa. I can't just lose this round to Troye.

Mahigpit kong hinawakan ang double blade sword ko at hinanda ang mas matigas na dipensa. I'll never let him break my wall again.

Our weapons clash with each other when we meet in the middle. Both of us are eager to win and finish this round already. But my eagerness dominates him so I quickly give him my best offense. He looked surprised and taken aback a bit by my attacks.

He smirked and counter me. Hindi ko sya hinayaang makakita ng butas sa dipensa ko kaya naman agad ko syang mabilis na inatake. He avoided my heavy attacks so I counter his avoidance and kick him hard in the stomach.

Lumuwag ang hawak nya sa dagger kaya sinipa ko yon pataas at binitawan ang sword na hawak ko. I catch the dagger mid-air before he even stand up and catch it. Dinaganan ko sya at tinutok ang dagger nya sa kanyang leeg.
