Starlight Academy: The Ophiuchus

SA47:The winner

ZYRUS

"Wag kang biased Zy, putukan mo din si Rana." Aron laughed beside me as i rolled my eyes at him. She's been my target since the beginning, idiot.

I looked at her doing those course. Gumamit ito ng kapangyarihan niya at ginamit pa iyon sa mga kasama niya. And i'm proud. What a good girl she is.

"She Isn't using too much force, baka mahulog siya." He whispered again. Who is he to talk like he knows everything, she got this.

"Alam kong kaya niya, sinasabi ko lang." I glared at her then smiled looking at my girl trying to complete this task.

But my smiled dissapeared when she didn't fully make it to the end. I clenched my jaw looking at her trying to pull herself up. Come on Rana, That's a piece of cake. I aimed my sniper towards her to watch her move and saw her avoiding bullets from Clefa.

"HUY RANA!" Yui yelled that made Rana smirk.

Agad akong kinabahan sa iniisip ng babaeng ito at pinanood ang basta galaw nito. The moment she let her hands go i pushed Aron to the side and pointed my gun to the sharks underneath. I told them that sharks are a bad idea for this stupid evaluation.

Im in range and started Shooting the shark ready to eat her up. Uunahan mo pa akong animal ka. Pinaulanan ko ito ng bala kaso pumasok parin s'ya sa loob na kina bahala ko. I was about to dive in when Aron pulled me.

"WHAT?"

"Bro, trust her she wouldn't jump without thinking. Ikaw tung napaka-kalmado kanina tapos—"

"Shut up." I bit my lips then shoot the remaining sharks in annoyance. If She's dead I'll kill you Aron.

I waited for her to come up. Anticipation ruled me and i couldn't wait more, what if She's trapped inside. I need to go. As i was about to dive in again i saw her coming out of the water riding a shark. She's even smilling.

Napaupo ako sa sahig at napahilamos sa mukha ng maayos itong nakasampa. This women  is gonna kill me one day.

"Diba? Sabi ko sayo eh. Pero ang astig nun ah, kung wala ka lang talagang gusto kay Rana sakin na sana—" i shoot him a deadly glare that made him stop talking.

"Sakin si Clefa, sayo lang Rana mo noh." Bawi nito.

I looked at the forest and saw the blue smoke coming out. She's doing great and so are the others. Magkasunod lang si Rana tsaka si Jentzen, the first placer and the last placer fighting for the first place.

"I swear, no more evaluations after this." I rolled my eyes.

"Agreed, masyadong tanga yung isang yun para sa mga ganto." Vine said while looking at tim waving at the dead sharks below as he jump on each glass floor dancing like a fool. Why are they part of the elite's again?

Another blue smoke came out and dream has them on track. We gave them enough arrows for each circle and Im confident that Rana will win this time. Another blue smoke was seen and i can't help but to smile at her achievements.

"Proud tatay ah." Halsier commented as he shoots Enly who is also doing great.

I was waiting for the first smoke coming in and so are the others. The winner will be decided this way.

The whole forest became silent and it made us way more anticipated and anxious.

And suddenly blue smokes came out that made me smile like a fool running towards the finish line.

"BLUE WONN!" I yelled running towards the finish line expecting to see her there with the same smirk she has the moment the game started. We started exactly at 12 and It's already 2 in the afternoon. Not bad.

As i reached the finish line everyone was there except for her.

My smile dissapeared as i looked for her. Saan na naman nagsusuot ang babaeng yun? I looked at Jentzen and he shrugged at me. "Hindi ko din s'ya nakita dito eh."

Yui came out and smiled at me, sumunod narin si Tim, Enly at Bernadette dito kaso wala pading kahit anino manlang ni Rana. "Eh?" I heard Tim said looking around.

I moved my gaze to the lagoon and saw her there walking to us with blood stains on her wet suit. Her hair is messy and she has several cuts on her face. The smirk i was expecting her to have wasn't there. She was serious and she looks mad.

RANA

I walked out and saw everyone in there. I saw zyrus looking at me worriedly that made my anger dissapear. Sa susunod ko na lang iisipin ang bwisit na degon na yun, he's not worth it.

"Im so tired." I pouted.

"Di lang ikaw Rana." Tim pouted then started running towards Vine. Yumakap ito kay Vine at naglandian sa harapan naming lahat. Mga haliparot.

"Are you ok?" I looked up and smiled seeing zyrus. Hinawakan nito ang mukha ko at pinagmasdan ang mga sugat na binigay sa akin ng mga bwisit na paniking iyon. Im sure kagagawan yun ng degon na yun.

"Last place na naman ako?"

"Silly, you won." He chuckled that made my smile dissapear. Ano daw? Gagong toh, pinagtritripan ako. Hidni ko na kasi napansin ang mga nangyari, basta tinira ko yung isang nakita ko tsaka sinundan si degon.

"Weh?"

He giggled at me then pulled me in a tight hug. Suddenly my pain was erased. May energizer na ako sana kayo rin!

"This will be the last evaluation you'll have." Sabi nito na kinakunot ng noo ko.

"At bakit? Elite na ba ako?"

"That stunt you did back there was so dangerous Rana, you made me so worried." Stunt daw. Bigla ko namang naalala ang mga patay na pating sa paligid ko ng umahon kami ni sharky. I smiled secretly at the thought of it.

He trusted me, and that's enough. He knew what i could do.

"Worried lang hindi ka nag-alala?" Pamimilosopo ko dito.

"Stop that."

"Stop lang hindi ititigil?"

"Rana."

"Rana na ngayon hindi nari?"

Humiwalay ito sa yakap at mariin akong tiningnan. Suddenly a smirk came to his lips that made me stop smilling. At anong kademonyohan na naman ang naiisip nito?

"Di ka ba proud na nanalo ako?" Pag-iiba ko ng usapan namin.

"Hella proud. My girl came from last place, to first placer. What an improvement."  He kissed my forehead and it was relaxing.

"And this deserves a celebration. Come on, Let's go and clean you up." Hinawak nito ang kamay ko at maglalakad na sana ng pinigilan ko ito. Hindi ito araw araw na mangyayari kaya't susulitin ko na.

"Hmm?"

"Ouch, my feet hurts. I think Im gonna die if i still walk." Pag-Iinarte ko. I saw How he smiled at me. Let's go piggy back! Lumuhod ito sa harapan ko kaya't sumakay ako sa likod nito at napayakap ng husto sa kaniya.

"TO THE ROOM!!" I yelled pointing at the Cabins we have in this island.

Sorry kong hindi ko kayo nainform na umalis kami sa Academy for this evaluation. Pero hindi ba halatang nasa isla kami dahil sa mga course namin? Nope? Edi wao.
