Chapter 35
Possesed opponents

"Andito na pala kayo," Sean greeted us when we reached the academy, I looked at zeke who was being grumpy.

Well, he didn't like the idea of me fighting, siguro dahil na rin sa dalawang beses na niyang nasaksihan kung paano ako nawalan ng malay. Para kaming magkasintahan na kung saan mayroong malabong relasyon. But I appreciate his way of proctecting me. He keeps on telling me his sorry for being selfish but I keep on answering him a thank you for protecting me.

"Anyare sa kaniya?" Rain asked while pointing zeke which I just shrugged.

"Mood swing" I simply answered, he just gave me a death glare which I guess he heard what I've said.

"Oh my, Shamira! I really like your hair!" I head Anya screamed from behind, and speaking of hair. Kanina pa nga yan napapansin ni zeke, and again, he called me a witch. How sweet of him!

Doon na lang rin napansin nila Jiro ang buhok ko. At pare pareho sila ng nasabi, that sooner or later, it will turn to a gold. I thought mawe- weirduhan rin sila sa akin but no, instead they were all looked amaze.

"We need to go to the arena," lahat kami ay sumang-ayon ng magsalita na si Rain.

Zeke was on the first line with Jiro, pinaguusapan nila ang tungkol sa battle at nalaman kong lahat pala kami ay makikipaglaban. The headmaster chose us, at ewan ko kung bakit ako napasama dito. Nalaman ko na lang na isa pala ako sa mga nangunguna sa ranking ng mga estudyante na may malalakas na kapanyarihan, which I wasn't aware na may ganun.

Habang ako ay nasa pinakahuli kasama si Anya, pareho kaming tahimik na parang may malalim na iniisip. Nakikita ko ang ilan na napapatingin sa amin, well infact, nakakakuha na kami ng atensiyon pero parang wala lang yun sa kanila.

Napahinto ako ng may nakita akong matanda na nahihirapang maglakad. Mainit pa naman, pare kahit ganun ay nakangiti pa rin ito na para bang himalang nasa Royal Academy siya ngayon na tinitingala ng lahat.

"Shamira" napalingon ako kay zeke na nakahalukipkip habang nakatingin sa akin, habang sila Jiro ay inaantay ang gagawin ko. Kita ko ang pagbuntong hininga niya, but he just smiled that made me smiled too.

Mabilis na linapitan ko ang matanda at saglit na pinaupo sa harapan ng isang booth na galing sa isang lower class. He nuttered his thank you and I got his hand then put it on my forehead as a sign of respect to him. "Mauuna na po ako" I said my goodbye then gave him a smile which he returned the same.

Nahuli kong napangiti sila Anya sa ginawa ko kaya binigyan ko rin sila ng isang maliit na ngiti. Because of what I did, I felt like for today, I am the old shamira I am used to when I was still in the town. People wearing ordinary clothes, faded color of shirts and aged woman even those in my age, wearing make ups just to make them look like a rich one.

May ilan rin kaming mga estudyanteng nakasabay na papunta doon, well I can easily differentiate them by their clothes, their clothes were simple but classy and you know that it is a branded one. Medyo nahuhuli ako ng kaunti sa paglalakad at kahit ganoon ay wala akong balak manguna.

Kung kanina ay sabay sila zeke at Jiro sa harapan, ngayon ay nangunguna na si zeke at ang magkasama na ay si Jiro at Rain, kasunod ay si Sean na magisa na halatang nakikinig sa usapan nila at nasa harapan ko si Anya na hindi nalalayo sa akin. Anya turned her head on me.

"You now ready for a new fight? It's been month though" she said while crossing her arms then turn back her gaze in front.

"As always, It's just unexpected that the headmaster include me in the list," I answered casually.
