Chapter 26: Lodestone and Nightwalker

❇ ❇ ❇

= Luke =

Dinala na ng mga healers na nakabantay ang walang malay at duguang katawan ni Austin.

I am really hoping na magka-comatose siya. Not. At least a weak in the infirmary wing because I know that someone important like me deserved a good night sleep even for once a year.

So, dinala na nga siya sa isa sa mga stretchers at inilabas na para idala sa infirmary wing. Alam kong corny, pero hindi ko ide-deny na nag-aalala ako sa kanya.

I have my reasons.

"Millicent and Nightwalker. Get up in here. I don't want to be kept waiting!" oh my gosh. I puting shit in people's mouth isn't illegal I'll make a shit company rich! Well, no rules really state that it is illegal. And unfortunately, it doesn't also state that it is legal.

#Bummer

Aside from avenging my popcorn target, I want to get to the next round because the one I am facing right now, Millicent dog face, is a person I can't stand. I can't really stand most people but he is just worth crushing for.

And for another reason, I know that Marco Midwinter and I aren't really close nor true friends but I know that my white-headed sister has a crush on him, and I don't really want something messing with my sister's "happiness" so yeah.

I am not doing this for Marco but for my sister.

Yes, Marco may be one of the hottest guy on campus but I am telling you this not because I loathe or dislike him but because he is soft as fuck.

He didn't really made it to a minute in the first round. I know. Embarrassing.

Maybe if I tell this to my sister...

Well, at least he has a valid reason for not lasting in more than a minute. Billius Millicent is a freaking monster with a brain size of a walnut.

Don't get me wrong, he is actually good in combat. Oh who am I kidding? He's not good in combat. He's just really large and stupid that it is really hard to knock him out of his feet!

He's like a landwhale! With several layers of sweaty fat and thank god he doesn't really talk much because you'll smell hell for sure. I am not overreacting, it is true!

"3... 2... 1... Fight!"

Ugh. This is not worth my time, sweat, and effort. I'm just gonna get this over with so I can have a good rest and crush Lodestone.

Nagpakalawa agad ako ng dalawang water balls mula sa kamay ko na tumungo agad sa direksyon ng ulo ni Landwhale para ilunod siya.

Hindi ko naman pinatagal ito dahil ayoko namang mamatay at magkaroon ng criminal records. As I said, he is not worth it. Tinanggal ko na ito after almost 2 minutes. Sapat lang ito para hindi siya mamatay at mawalan ng malay.

Bumalik na ako sa bleachers na inuupuan ko kanina para magpahinga sa susunod kong laban laban kay Lodestone.

May laban pa naman kaya may oras pa ako para magpahinga kahit hindi naman talaga ako napagod kay Landwhale.

Nag-iisip ako ngayon ng paraan para i-dismantle ang Lodestone na 'yun nung natapos na ang walang kwentang laban nila at pinatawag na kami.

"Lodestone and Nightwalker. Up in front. Now!"

*eye roll side to side*

"Did you see what I have done with your friend?"

"Of course I did. I'm not blind."

"Stupid. I didn't said you were blind"

"Stupid. I never said that I don't watch my friends fight."

"Sassy, aren't you?"

"I'm not sassy. I just refuse to be stepped on. Physically, mentally, and verbally."

"Let's just get this over with so I can crush you just like what I did to your friend."

"That's what they all said."

Jerk. I am so gonna dismantle you.

Let's see, this son of a bitch's abilities are flight, super strength, and lumen/light production.

Well, it's a good thing that I am able to read minds. Mwahahahaha.

Let's see... He's planing to make a hot light from his palms to my face.

Seriously? That's the best he can think of?

It's kind of sadistic but the lame kind of sadistic. Seriously.

Tumalon na ako sa kanan ko dahil alam kong palihim na siyang nagge-generate ng mainit na ilaw. Kita ang gulat sa mukha niya kasabay ang pag-labas ng ilaw sa kamay niya patungo sa direksyon ng mukha ko kanina.

"Mind reader? Weak." I know he's playing mind games because I can read his emotions like an open book. He's feeling angry and kinda hopeless.

"Yup, obviously. Good thing you're not an Occlumence either." an Occlumence is a person who has the ability to block intruders from entering his/her mind.

Hindi na siya nakasagot at nag-iisip na naman ng plano kung paano niya ako malalampasan. He's not really the smart type so it's easier for me.

"Well, I admit. I am mentally defeated." good jerk. "But physically, I'm not."

Wait, what?

"Damn." nasabi ko na lang nung bumulusok na siya pataas. Flight. What a bitch of an ability. And my mind reading is currently stopped because of shock and also distance.
Well, there's nothing left for me to do if I want to read his mind to avenge my popcorn target.

Anti-gravity.

Since nasa isang secured glass dome kami naglalaban, hindi maapektuhan ang mga nanonood sa labas and mas pabor ito saakin dahil pwede akong maglakad sa kahit na anong direksyon.

The chase is on.

Ginamit ko na ang anti-gravity ko at tinungo ang 45° upward left dahil ito ang pinakamalapit sa posisyon niya at tumakbo na lang ng patagilid.

Nakita ko ang mukha niya nung tumagilid ito at aaminin ko na medyo kinabahan ako dahil sa ngising ginagamit niya.

Buti na lang at hindi niya ability ang super speed kaya nagkaroon pa ako ng panahon para lumipat ng direksyon at tinungo ang bubong ng glass dome.

Crap.
