Mezzi Claudine Stockholme
I am torned. Hindi ko alam kung ihahakbang ko ba ang mga paa ko o hindi. There are so many possible scenarios popping in my mind—most of it are no good.
"Headmistress Klaus, can I..." I trailed.
"I know you are worried. Nag-aalala rin ako, lalong-lalo na si Stelline. But trust me, I know you can do this. If this isn't going to work, I will immediately get you covered." She smiled as she assured that everything would be fine.
I sigh. I guess... I have no choice. Narito na 'to kaya kailangan nang tapusin. After all the embarrassment we've done, this is the least I could do to the group.
Muli akong nagpakawala ng malalim na buntong-hininga bago nag-desisyong humakbang tungo sa gitna ng field. Sa kalagitnaan ng paglalakad ay nakasalubong ko si Zauster. Pagod ito at naligo sa sariling pawis.
Hindi ko sana ito papansinin pero mabilis nyang hinawakan ang kamay ko. I am stunned when he intertwines our fingers. Dahil dito, mabilis na umani kami ng kantyaw mula sa mga manonood.
"What are you doing? Let go of my hand." Sinubukan kong kunin ang kamay ko mula sa pagkakahawak nya.
Instead of letting my hand go, he even pulls me closer.
"You like attention, right?" he whispered. "Then, how about this?"
"You are mad. Ano bang pinagsasabi mo?" I hissed.
"Are you naivè or just acting like one?" He smirked.
I don't like his tone. Tila ba hinuhusgahan na naman nito ang pagkatao ko. Yes, I don't know fully Lady Sneddelline aside from the description about her from the book. But even so, he has no right to judge her—and me who temporarily takes over her body.
"I have no any slightest idea. So, back off," pinilit kong makawala sa pagkakahawak nya at hindi ako nabigo. "I am not a shameful person like you."
Nilagpasan ko sya. I have no time to burn with his nonsense dialogues. Pero bago ako makalayo sa kanya ay may pahabol pa sya.
"Make sure to win the fight or else... you'll get a punishment."
What do he mean by that?
I brush that thought off quickly. Walang naidudulot na maganda kung papatulan ko ang mga sinabi nya.
Nagpatuloy ako sa paglakad at nang tumigil ako ay natagpuan ko sa kabilang dulo si Zaprina, nakangisi ito sa akin. I stoically look at her.
"You really love the attention, Sneddelline Nike Homero, don't you?"
"I guess... you've misinterpreted the circumstances. I don't love attention. As a matter-of-fact, I am hating it." I frankly said.
"Ironically, you'll getting the attention you deserved... or are you really deserving?" Hindi ko sya maintindihan. I mean... there was something within her words that I couldn't figure out.
"Hindi ko alam ang mga pinagsasabi mo. But whether deserving or not as you've said, it won't matter nonetheless."
Napapalakpak sya. "I com—"
"Humanda ang mga manlalahok. Sisimulan na natin ang laban." Anunsyo ni Pinunong Aeragon.
Imbes na mainis si Zaprina dahil naputol ang dapat na sasabihin nya, natawa pa sya. "Well, let's have a great fight. Ipapaalala ko lang sayo, hindi ako nagpapatawad." From smiley face, hers became stoic like mine.
Napalunok ako sa sinabi nya. I am still worried if I can fight with my condition right now. As Lady Sneddelline's power is being repressed, it means I can't wield it at max. It has been compressed kaya kalahating porsyento lamang ang magagamit ko.
