Themis High V
PRAIREI
I'm now standing in front of the captain of Cryptum. A bespectacled student staring at me seriously because he seems not in the mood today. It was probably because of Mister Madrigal's offer and he declined it. And maybe, Mister Madrigal said something that he didn't like.
Wayn described him perfectly. I remembered all what he had said about him and he didn't say any mistake about him. He does really look strict and intimidating captain. I suddenly took a glance from his right hand. His right hand has green line of shadows. He raised his hand and he was about to touch my shoulder but I took the handkerchief inside of my pocket as I used it as a glove. I aggressively shoved his hand away while using the handkerchief that is covered around of my right hand.
His lips formed a small smirk but then it changed quickly into serious one.
"I put one percentage of ability to my hand yet you still saw it. Even a specialist one cannot possible see that," he spoke upon the silence between us. He keeps observing me since I've came here and I'm doing the same thing. I've noticed from him that he has a sharp sense and he is much similar to our captain. He is testing me like what his member did to me.
Now, I found out. They're still not moving on as members of Cryptum because they still cares for Hidre's decisions for choosing a first ruler or ace of his group. They didn't test Wayn's ability because they knew him already. And because I'm new member of Hidre's group, they tried to test me.
Just a ridiculous fact, they don't know that I'm only a normal human as Cyph stated.
I do not have an ability like them. I'm only Hidre's assistant and my work is to find the hacker who keeps hacking the Themis Corporation. Once it is done, I'll live normal again. We have the identity of eyesite (as primary suspect) because Rhya got a clue to the hacker but we still are still clueless about his personal information. To finish that case, we need a few research.
"So, how can you see person's ability without using law of six sense, seven and law of eight sense?" he asked while an amused face has became evident to him. And why would I answer the Hidre's opponent? Kahit naman na may alam ako ay hindi ako sasagot. Kaso lang ay, wala akong alam sa sinasabi niya. Alam ko ang batas ng anim na pandama, pito at walo ngunit hindi ko alam kung paano ito gamitin dahil wala akong alam na paraan kung paano ito paganahin.
"What are you talking about?" I confusedly asked, frowning at him.
He folded his right arm on his chest as his left arm was raised, holding his chin by his left hand. Sa mukha niya ngayon, parang pinag-aaralan niya ang isang kakaibang hayop sa harapan niya na parang kakaiba ang nilalang na tinitignan niya ngayon. Kailangan ba na tignan niya ako nang ganiyan? His stares made me feel uncomfortable.
They doesn't care at Hidre's decision for choosing a first ruler at all. They're underestimating his choices. And that's cruel for Hidre.
"You don't know how to activate or you are just pretending?" He is suspecting me.
I was about to answer but I heard a footsteps to the right hallway. The way at right side is dark because of blinking lights. I can only hear their footsteps echoing inside the whole hallway and they're heading to our direction.
The guy front of me keeps scanning my whole existence as if I'm suspicious new member of Dimitic. He is like solving the untouched briefcase and finding a code to open it.
What a strange stares.
The sounds of footsteps from their formal shoes stopped after several seconds, few steps away from us. Unfortunately, can't see their faces because of unfixed light here, but we can see their shadows on the left wall.
