Resume the War

Chapter 070

"Come at me all of you. All at once."

All of their jaws dropped. Natahimik ang buong meeting room. They are waiting for Cheska to admit that she is just messing around. But minutes have already passed and...

"All at once?" inis na tanong ni Ryby at tumungo sa harapan ni Kozel. "You must be kidding me. Wala akong panahon para sa ganitong trip."

"I will have the 13th position. If I have to defeat you all at once I will gladly do it."

"You are underestimating us!"

"You are underestimating me."

Tumahimik ang buong training room. Hindi pa rin sila makapaniwala. Mukhang seryoso talaga ang babaeng nasa harapan nila. Her wicked smiles earlier aren't showing anymore, a proof that she is dead serious.

"Are you scared?"

Halos lahat sila ay napataas ang kilay doon. Ano raw?

"This should be in your favor. Once I lose, I will have no choice but to let go of the 13th position. Isn't that what you wanted?"

Alam naman nila iyon. They have all the advantages if they are going to fight together all at once. Mas masisigurado nilang mananalo sila. But it is also a big insult to them.

The only way to trample on that insult is to show that underestimating them is her biggest mistake.

"We are chosen by the former mistress herself and the heir and heiress of the people she chose," pagpapaalala ni Devitsa. "There's no way you will win if we are going to fight together."

"Don't worry too much about me because I will," her wicked smile came back. "I will win."

Mas nadagdagan ang kanilang inis. They have no choice but to give her what she wants. To show who's at the real advantage here. And who is going to lose.

Naghiwa-hiwalay na sila. They scattered all over the training room while Cheska is in the middle. Pinanood niya lang ang kanilang ginagawa while only moving her eyes. She didn't bother to turn around.

Now she knows all of their positions.

"Attack whenever you want to—" she tilted her head to one side when someone pulled the trigger from behind.

She smirked. How impatient.

Tuluyan na siyang gumalaw sa kaniyang pwesto when most of the Asteria attacked all at once. She dodged all of their attacks flawlessly and perfectly.

It is as if she can see the future. Alam niya kung saan siya iiwas. Na kahit marami ang sumusugod sa kaniya hindi pa rin siya natatamaan.

She's fighting close combat while someone is trying to shoot her from afar. Napangisi siya dahil sa galing noon. When she looked in its direction, it's Shkala.

Kahit magulo sila, she managed to shoot without hitting her comrades. She's making sure na tanging siya lang ang matatamaan. She's not just controlling her accuracy. She's controlling the movement of the bullet itself.

Indeed skilled.

Pinanood lang nila Lev, Devitsa, Rbyby, Kozel at Skorpion ang nakikita sa kanilang harapan. They couldn't help but be in awe.

How could she dodge all of their attacks? How can she manage to deal with short-range and long-range attacks? How can she do it perfectly?

She's like dancing. Her hair is moving along with her movement. Even her blazer dress. Hawak hawak niya lang ang kaniyang walking cane, not losing a grip on it. She still hasn't used it since they attacked.
