The Killer's New Life

Chapter 29

Anais Point of View

"Are you sure about this?" hindi na ako nag-abalang sagutin ang walang kwentang tanong ni Diane sa akin.

We're currently walking while Diane's leading the way to the holy cave of their tribe. Paulit-ulit din niya akong tinatanong kung sigurado ba ako sa desisyon kong ito.

Nagtataka't nag-aalala ulit akong binalingan ni Diane, halatang hindi mapakali. "Can we stop? Pag-isipan mo muna, maraming mababagsik na halimaw... even untamed mythical creatures might attack us while we're on our way to the holy cave. At isa pa, hahanapin tayo nina ina."

I stop walking reason why she stopped too.

Matalim na titig ang ibinigay ko sa kaniya bago ako huminga nang malalim. "Hindi naman halatang wala akong pakialam?" mahina ngunit puno ng inis ang tono ng boses ko na siyang nagpaawang sa labi ni Diane.

If she's worried that everyone will search for us then she's stupid, tingin ba niya ay hahayaan ko iyon? Of course I have sent our clones there so they won't search for us.

Napabuntong hininga si Diane, kinakalma ang sarili dahil mukhang nagsisimula na rin siyang mainis sa akin. "Look, you're not powerful enough to fight the monsters around okay? You're just our instructor... baka mapahamak ako, tayo." a grin draw on my lips after hearing what she had spoken.

Oh, right. She doesn't knew anything about me.

I suddenly have the urge to tease her but I chose not to. "Fool everyone, but not me. No creatures will hurt you, you're their princess after all and mind you, I can protect myself, just lead the way." even though she's confused she just shrugged and continued to walk.

No creatures will hurt their princess and that applies on Diane and the creatures they have here.

Minutes had passed and my mind it still clouded with too much confusion. Hindi ko muna pinagtuunan ng pansin ang napagtanto kanina para hindi sumakit ang ulo ko.

Acquiring the tears should be my top priority as of now, bahala na muna ang mga nalaman ko.

Napatigil ako sa pag-iisip dahil may naramdaman akong iba pang mana bukod sa akin at kay Diane.

Hmm, this monsters have the guts to tail us around.

Napatingin ako kay Diane na kalmado pa rin sa paglalakad, hindi yata napansin na may nakasunod sa amin.

"Tell me, can you feel someone's mana?" Dahil sa tanong kong iyon ay napatingin siya sa akin at natatawa, mukhang hindi inaasahan na manggagaling sa akin ang tanong na iyan.

Napaisip naman siya saglit. "That's a myth. No one yet... so far, can do that. Bakit mo natanong?"

My face went blank... there's no way I'm normal.

"What does it mean if you can do that? Ano-ano pa ba ang mga kapangyarihan na hindi normal?"

I'm such a fool, bakit ngayon ko lang naisipan na itanong ang mga ito?

Tuluyan nang natawa si Diane. "Iba-iba ang mood mo, alam mo 'yon?"

Halata bang wala akong pakialam?

"But hmm, as far as I know from our history. Powers like omniscient can only possess by royalties pero once in a blue moon lang naman nangyayari 'yon, parang wala na ngang may gan 'yang kapangyarihan. Then kagaya ng sinabi mo, detecting someone's mana is quite normal pero detecting someone's mana without using magic is not normal. Marami pa eh, like powers that can nullify magic. Mga ganoon," huh bullshit.
