Nine: To threaten you with Superiority

'You may think you're higher than me, But my superiority will always spit above you.'

*RYUJIN ROSS*

"Just freaking tell me, what happened earlier!"

"Mr. Ross. Please calm down. We're..."

"Calm down? How can I calm down if you can't explain to me what happened? Sheneah Bernardo, nearly died. What kind of training have you done?!"

I'm not used to being like this, but I just can't control my anger knowing that Neah was hurt. She lost too much blood because of her wounds earlier. Ngayon paano ako kakalma?

"My students were not to be blame. It was my fault because I gave them no rules in the game," Professor Irma stated.

"And who was that imbecile student?"

"I told you, it was not her fault."

"Who was it?"

"P-pauline Sanchez. Ryujin, h'wag mo siyang sisihin."

"H'wag? Bakit, hindi rin ba sa kasama rules ang h'wag pumatay?"

"No. But she didn't mean to--"

"Stop. Close your mouth and please leave." My eyes darted on her as I used my gift. Nakita ko pa ang pagtutol sa mata niya pero sinunod niya pa rin ang utos ko at lumabas na ng opisina.

Mariin akong napapikit at ikinuyom ang mga kamao ko.

I've been busy with the upcoming Cabal Tourmanent because the headmasters were rushing it, and it's taking the toll on me already. And Neah, on that state is absolutely not helping at all.

I heaved a deep sigh and opened my eyes.

"Guess, I'll be smacking her today." Inayos ko na ang gamit ko at agad na lumabas ng opisina. Dumiretso na ako sa infirmary kung nasaan siya.

Nang makarating ako sa infirmary ay agad ko nang binuksan ang pinto at naabutan ko pa ang mga kaibigan ko na kausap si Neah.

"That's what I'm talking about." Grayson was mumbling something when I entered the infirmary.

"Everyone, leave," utos ko at agad naman silang sumunod.

I know I won't get any proper explanations from her, so forget it. I'll just snuggle this stubborn woman until she suffocates.

But seriously though. I almost had an heart-attack when I saw them carrying her unconsious body, and she was bleeding like who knows how much.

And I just can't take it, I can't live without her. Hindi niya alam kung gaano ako natakot nang mga oras na 'yon.

"Sorry," she softly whispered.

"What for?"

"Ewan. I just felt like saying it." She tightened her embraced and I even felt her sniffing me.

I smiled. She's smelling me for pete's sake. And it is great, knowing that she is drawn to my scent. Maybe I should thank my Dad for buying me the same body wash since I was a kid.

"Just admit it, Neah. You're addicted to me," I stated. She punched my back, but she continued smelling me.

"Shut up."

"You're overly obsessed with me..." I added.

"And you can't stop yourself from inhaling my scent."

"Hindi, a."

"Why don't you just admit it, Neah? You love me more than anyone else." I was more than assured with my statements. Now what's with my confidence?

But hell yeah. She admitted it. She finally said those words again. I was dying to hear it from her since we were kids. Napakarami naman kasing kondisyon nito bago siya pumayag.
