Magnus Academy: The Cursed Blood

Chapter Fifty

The Way I Fight

Nakasandal lamang ako sa pader with my arms both crossing. Sa loob ng kwarto ay nag-uusap si Thomas at Andrea. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang pinag-uusapan nila, but I can sense them from here at parang naiintindihan ko nadin. These emotions I feel are messy. I know this feeling well. Heart racing, anticipation, slightly nervous...I sighed. Lumabas na si Thomas at medyo nagulat siyang makita ako dito sa labas. He frowned.

"Eavesdropping, aren't we?" I rolled my eyes at umayos na ng tayo.

"Thomas, you're so dense." At least Hoy isn't like him.

"Anong pinagsasasabi mo?"

"Nevermind. The curators are waiting for you above."

"Ah right." Then he walked away.

That guy acts so cool but the truth is, he's so awkward. Pumasok na ako sa loob at isinara ang pinto sa likuran ko. Andrea wasn't surprised at my sudden appearance. Na heal na ang mga pasa niya at sugat. Pero mahahalata mo parin na napapagod pa siya.

This girl is just amazing. She mamaged to win without using her ability. And without even summoning the exact number of her daggers. Kumpara sa naging laban namin noon, mas lumakas pa siya. I doubt matatalo ko siya kung sa sususnod na maglalaban kami. Which I hope, hindi na mangyari. Dahil may pakiramdam akong mamamatay ako kung mangyari nga yun.

Umupo ako sa isang upuan sa tabi ng kama niya and took a piece of sliced apple. The next battle will be tomorrow. And remembering about it makes me think about the second match. Teoff Alfreds had a perfect sight. He could hit his enemies easily without missing. Pero kakaiba din ang enhancement magic ni Deil Montreo. Mabilis siya at malakas. It's like a combination of Andrea's destructive power and Prover's speed.

Nawala ang iniisip ko nang makita si Andrea na tumatalon-talon. I get it, she doesn't want to sit and rest. I continued eating apples hanggang sa narealise kong naubos ko na pala ito.

"Why are you in love with a guy like him?" Biglaan kong tanong at nagulat siya. It made her foot hit the stand of the table. Napaupo siya sa sakit.

"Anong problema mo?!" Galit niyang sigaw. I prevented the urge to laugh.

"Nothing in particular." I said while she remained sitting on the floor, slightly hissing.

"Paano mo ngaba—ah your ability."

"I don't need my ability para malaman ito. You're so obvious. He's just so dense." She sighed. "But I won't recommend going after him though." Dahil may girlfriend na yun.

"Rest assured. I'm not going after him." So alam niyang may girlfriend na yung tao. "I just can't help it." She can't help falling in love huh? How cliche.

"You're surprisingly feminine than you look. Ngayon ko lang nahalata." Tinignan niya ako ng masama.

"Shut up! Ano ngaba ang ginagawa mo dito? I believe you're not here just to annoy me." Heh. Mabuti at alam niya.

"Pinatawag ko siya dito." Naagaw ni Iyana ang atensyon namin sabay sarado niya ng pintuan at nilock ito.

Kanina kasi matapos ang ikalawang match ay sinabihan niya akong pumunta dito. She was acting weird at the time and her boredness seemed to have disappeared. And at the moment, she was back to normal. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin niya, but I have a feeling na importante ito, whatever it is.

"I think we're being followed." She suddenly said which made me frown. Naalala ko tuloy yung sumsusunod sa akin before I changed my appearance.

"When did you notice?" Tanong ko.
