GEUPERSIUS

Chapter 6

Habang naglalakad ay inaalalayan ako ni Ace papuntang visiting ward.

His hands are smooth, like he never went to a battle.

Nung malapit na kami ay nakita ko silang lahat naka upo at natutulog habang si Cid ay nakaupo at nakayuko lamang.

Natanaw ata kami ni Cid at ginising niya silang lahat, nang makapasok kami ay lumapit agad si Reiju at niyakap ako.

"Dahan dahan lang." - Gia

Inilagay ni Reiju ang dalawang kamay niya sa magkabilang pisngi ko,

"You did great!"

Nabaling ang atensyon ni Reiju sa pagkahawak ni Ace sa kamay ko at agad naman itong binitawan ni Ace

Sunod sunod silang yumakap

"A-akala ko iiwan mo na kami."

Umiyak si Callie at binara ito agad ni Lucas.

"Ha! Wala ka kasing tiwala kay Kia!" - Lucas

"Tignan mo sino ang pikit ng pikit kanina!" - Callie

"Antok ako noh!" - Lucas

"Hey, tigil na." - Gia

Natahimik sila, at lumapit si Phoebe

"Nitoryu, akala ko wala ng gumagamit ng ganun sa laban. Do you know what kind of attack did he use?"

"Hmm maguma (Maguma, literally means 'Demon Bear'), it look liked a simple downward pound."

"Ah yun. Im glad you were able to get up after receiving the attack, because the katana Tyrone used from Isabel wasn't ordinary, it was the Wado Ichimonji, one of the 33 finest katanas in the world."

"Ah, the smarta$$" Kumindat si Lucas kay Phoebe at agad naman itong nandiri.

"I guess you could get some more information on the attacks, Blake." - Phoebe

"Huh?" - Callie

"Blake is a swordsman." - Phoebe

"Ha?!" Sigaw nila maliban lang kay Phoebe at Ace

Tumingin silang lahat kay Blake

"What?"

"How come we didn't know?" - Gia

"That's because I dont use katanas in battles."

"Eh bakit alam nila?" Tinuro ni Callie si Ace at Phoebe.

"Ace, he's our team leader. He should know somehow, and Phoebe, napadaan siya kung saan ako nag trtrain."

"Bakit d mo sinabi?" - Lucas

"Im not 'really' a swordsman. I know how to use katanas but I've never used them in a real battle."

Tumango silang lahat.

"Ace, anong oras departure natin?" - Gia

"At 3 am."

"But Kia's not fully recovered." - Cid

"N-no, kaya ko namang gumalaw galaw."

"No, hindi ka makakalaban ng maayos." - Cid

"Im fine, ano ba kayo."

"Yun naman pala eh!" - Lucas

"Renee"

Biglang sumulpot si Wyatt at niyakap ako ng mahigpit

"Panget, Im glad you're okay."

"Thank you pero asan si Aya? Diba sabi ko to keep an eye on her?"
