EVERY eye was watching what was going to happen next. Kallisto and the muscular one were in the middle of the place. They were both glaring at each other—more like the noble sir was furious, but Kallisto was only looking at him with a bored expression.

Napatingin din ako saglit kung nasaan ang ama at kapatid ni Kallisto. They were both on the balcony. They literally have a VIP seat on the challenge that was about to happen. Instead of interfering, they were amused and patiently waiting on what was about to go down.

Ibang klase naman pala si Father at Brother in law! Kulang na lang magsuot ng blockbuster glasses habang nanonood ngayon, eh! Sana pala umakyat din ako ro'n para mas maganda ang view!

Bahala na si Kallisto rito, sa taas na lang ako kasama in-laws ko para mag-cheer sa kanya! Pwede rin pala ako makipagpustahan sa mga chismoso at chismosa rito! Naku, tiba-tiba kaagad ako kapag gano'n! Basta dadayain namin ni Kallisto, 'yong resulta dapat do'n siya sa taya ko.

Aba! Dapat lang siya maki-cooperate sa akin kapag gano'n para naman ma-scam namin 'tong mga walangyang nobles na 'to. Akala mo sinong mga dugong bughaw, eh ang sama-sama naman ng mga ugali!

While I was thinking of those agendas, the crowd started to murmur because the fight began. They both have fake swords that wouldn't really harm anyone. It was given by one of the guards; it looked like the King permitted that weapon.

Having weapons in this banquet wasn't really allowed unless you were the King's knights and guards. It was for the safety of the royals, so there would be no assassinations and the likes in these kinds of events.

Nakatitig ako kay Kallisto dahil hindi man lang siya gumagalaw sa kinatatayuan niya habang hawak 'yong espada, samantalang 'yong kalaban niya ay mukhang gigil na at gusto na siyang sugurin.

His Abyss was overflowing, but it wasn't visible in the eyes of the ordinary. He was suppressing it so it wouldn't cause disturbance to others. He probably didn't want the nobles to feel that he was now more proficient and stronger because of his Abyss.

He wasn't the helpless Abyss anymore, but he wanted to maintain that image to be cautious. He really thought of things thoroughly than just wanting to show off. It was better to be underestimated than overestimated.

The opponent couldn't wait anymore, and he took his chance. Mabilis siyang sumugod kay Kallisto, pero kaagad akong napangiti nang palihim no'ng iwasan lang 'yon ni Kallisto nang walang kahirap-hirap. He just tilted his head at the right time, and he dodged it.

The guy became furious and started attacking Kallisto nonstop. He slashed the sword forward, on the left, right, and diagonally. But, instead of facing the sword and clashing with it, all Kallisto did was avoid it accurately.

Halos hindi matanggal ang mga mata ng manonood sa nakikita nila dahil sa bilis ng nangyayari, pero parang walang kahirap-hirap lang 'yon kay Kallisto. He wasn't really fighting; he was just playing around with the noble.

He looked at me, too, when he jumped backwards after evading a solid strike from the sword. I smiled at him and waved my hand, and mouthed, "Fighting!" I thought it would give him some encouragement just to finish everything, but his light shade of purple eyes became deep and dark.

Napalunok ako nang wala sa oras at napatingin kung saan siya nakatitig. He was looking at my wrist. I looked at it and hid it immediately because it was red from the guy's grasp earlier.

It didn't really hurt because Aqua activated immediately, but because of the pale complexion of my skin, the mark was still there. And the guy really intended to break my wrist earlier like he wasn't afraid that I was a Celeste.
