A Leap In The Dark

Chapter 7

Sabrina thought that she will fail at the time she revealed her weapon. It was a known rule even to newcomers and transferees. Ngunit ngayon lang niya narinig na may duration rin pala. It meant that her opponent also broke the rules. But it was a bit unfair, even for her.

"Miss Mayorga shall be placed in the S section while Miss Petron shall be on the Alphas Section."

The arena was filled with gasp of disbelief.

"Well, that's settles it, I guess. I won't expelled from the university right?" Once again the arena was filled with gasp. How can Cai just casually talk to the headmaster like that?!

"Yes."

"That's good. Ugh! Gutom na'ko!"

Cai was relieved that she won't be dropping on this mission. Hindi niya rin alam na meron palang mga rules. She was scared for a minute there.

Nang bumalik siya kung nasan sina Reyn at Gem, she was greeted with a glare and a smile. The glare was from no other than Reyn and the smile was from Gem. It was refereshing to see.

"Cai! I'm glad you're okay!" Gem hugged her. She was almost crying. Cai caressed her back. At least somebody was happy for her, unlike this one who was glaring at her the moment she stepped out of the ring.

"Ulan! Aren't you happy I'm alive?" She made puppy eyes. And Cai could have sworn that Reyn was stopping herself from vomiting in disgust.

"No. I regret this. A lot." Reyn said. She knew that Cai was teasing her. And this kind of situations have became a type of bonding for the both of them.

"Tsk! Sungit! Anyways, pupunta ako sa cafeteria." Mabilisang saad ni Cai at nag lakad na paalis.

"Wait! Pabili ako!" Reyn felt the urge.

"Ayoko nga! BLEH! " At tumakbo na si Cai palabas.

Maya-maya pa, bumalik na ang test. Nasa individual battles pa rin at ngayon ang laban ay sa pagitan ng isang babae na may katangkaran at sa isang lalaking animo'y nasa elementary.

"That girl is Daria Kinston at yung kalaban niya ay si Daryl Albetra. I think this match has already been decided." Makabuluhang saad ni Gem. And as if on cue naka-higa na ngayon sa malamig na sahig si Daria, walang malay.

It gained a lot of praises from the audience, kahit si Reyn ay nagulat rin. She smirked. Now that's what you call small but terrible. Daryl seemed to use a martial arts technique that let's him hit his opponent straight on.

Reyn's phone suddenly buzzed. It was a text from no other than Cai. It says, 'What do you want?'

Reyn smirked as her finger tips immediately pressed the words for, 'Fried Chicken.'

The individual battles were almost over and Reyn felt that immense staring once again. She felt it earlier when that weird guy suddenly appeared behind. Gem shuffled beside her. She also seemed to noticed the staring.

"The winner of this round is Mr. Albetra. You shall proceed to your section." The monitor flashed the letter A. Reyn looked at the person beside her, that seemed to notice her gaze.

"In this University, they have sections for everyone who entered. At yung mga sections na iyon, ay ang magiging section mo throught your stay here. Yung nakita mong letter sa monitor, iyon ang designated section ni Daryl." Gem smiled as she gazed at Reyn.

"Ilang sections ba ang meron sa University na ito?" Reyn was curious, and it was visible through her glimmering black orbs.

"Hmm, I think lima? There's the Section Alpha, Section A, B, C, and lastly the Section S."
