Chapter 6 Friendly Duel

Elixyvette's Point of View

"Are we not going to find a quest right now?" Tanong sakin ni Farah pero hindi ko siya pinansin. Nandito kasi ako sa isang malawak na burol at nakahiga.

Nagpahinga muna ako dahil level 18 na ako. Ganon din sina Lissana.

"Later" sagot ko saka tinignan ulit mga kakailanganin ko sa upgrade ng scythe ko. Right now, may ruby na ako.

I still need 3 resources. Kami ang mamimili ng design ng upgrade namin basta makukuha namin ang hinihinging mga resources at nasa level 20 and up na kami.

"Where's the another meathead" pansin ko kasi kanina pa wala si Ayato rito. Lissana shrugs and looks around "Ah! There!" Umupo naman ako saka tumayo at nakita nakabusangot ang mukha. Looks like someone is pissed.

"Damn that bastard" bungad nito agad sa amin kaya natawa kami

"Who?" Bago pa sumagot si Ayato isang mabilis na bagay kaming nahagip. What's that?

"Ayatoooooo" Before we take a glance on whoever it is. Agad siyang nakarating sa likod namin. Did he just call him?

"Hajime. You son of a... Seriously dude?!"

"Bro! Long time, No see!" I frowned. He looks a reversed gender of Elisha. Ang ingay.

Bigla itong napatigil at tinignan kami. "Dude, i thought you have a high quality chicks but--- oww!" Agad siyang sinipa ni Ayato sa binti saka umalis at bumaba. I walked past to him saka siya sinuntok sa sa mukha.

Bubulong pa siya rinig naman. High quality chicks. We are not even animals and mostly, we are not for sale.

"Shu, just kidding" nakahabol naman ito samin saka humarang sa harapan namin. I raised my eyebrow "The hell, who are you? Step aside meathead" as i shove him i scanned him.

In-game Name: Hajime
Race: Human
Level: 18
Experience: 12,550
HP: 7,000
MP: 7,000

Same level as me. I heard him chuckle, "So, you are Kaori the one Ay------" Ayato hold his mouth and dragged him to a corner and talked.

"They are super weird" i nod at Lissana as i watched the two. What are they even talking?

"Let's go. Leave them be" sabi ko saka naunang naglakad. Sumunod sa likod ko si Lissana. Maya maya pa nasa likod na din namin yung dalawa at sumisipol si Hajime.

"My friend, Hajime" Hajime... Sounds familiar to me. Ngumiti samin si Hajime. I looked at him with my bored-looking-glance.

He also uses a scythe as a weapon. Luckily, may kauri ako. How would i know? Nakalagay sa likod niya ang scythe and it looks like newly cleaned.

"Are you alone?" Hajime nodded at Ayato's question. I find it weird coz why would he ask such thing? O baka may inaasahan siyang kasama nito?

"Saan ba kayo pupunta?" Kung nandito lang si Sakura malamang sila na ang nagkasundo. Parehas madaldal.

"Bulletin Board. Kukuha na kami ng Quests. The faster we level up, the faster we leave this kingdom and venture" i said and buy some pastry "Ah"

"I heard that you are the top ranker in our Country" i took a bite as we getting close to the board "I also heard you are in top 3 and a troublemaker" i stated and looked at him. He laughed as hard he could. Indeed, he do look like a real troublemaker. Yep, he is that famous troublemaker Player.

Dahil din sa pagtawa niyang 'yan gusto ko nalang siya sapakin ulit. He reminds me of annoying laugh of Elisha/ Sakura.

"Mag duel tayo" as he said that, the surroundings became quiet and clear. Tinignan ko siya habang nakalagay sa bibig ko yung pastry. Duel eh?

"Friendly Duel" nakangiti nitong sabi saka kinuha a scythe niya.

I released my scythe and looked at him. Hindi pa ako tapos sa pagkain ko tapos ganito. This guys is a troublemaker

"Scythe to scythe?" Tanong ni Lissana saka tumingin sa amin ulit.

Lumitaw naman sa harap ko ang isang note.

Hajime vs. Kaori

I answered yes. Suddenly the NPC who were in the stalls gathered around us. I saw Lissana not too far from here, nakaupo ito sa taas ng cathedral meanwhile, Ayato leaned to the walls.

In an instant, i dashed towards the middle. Metals clashing, he grinned at me when he blocked my attack. Aish, i need to finish this. Kumakain pa ako

"Shattered bats" i whispered and leap away from him. Hindi siya agad nakaiwas kaya napabagsak sa ibaba. I run in circles, agad itong tumayo saka tumalon at nakita kong papalapit na sa direksyon ko. I leap again to the mid-air to meet him and use my skill again, scattered blood nakailag ito agad kaya naman umiwas ulit ako saka umatake.

The crowd is getting nosier and cheering in one of us. Others are betting. I smirked, those who bet for Hajime will lose a money.

He easily dodge all of my attacks and skills pero hindi ako nawawalan ng tricks. I have many tricks under my sleeves. I-hohook ko sana ito pero na-dodge niya ulit ito saka ginamit na pagkakataon para gumamit ng aerial cartwheel and tinadyakan ako sa likod.

Shit. Buti nabalanse ko sarili ko kaya inihanda ko sarili ko.

Nang makalapag kami sa lupa ay agad akong nagdash papalapit sakanya. Ngumisi ako sakanya ng naka-stance na ito at magdadodge.

Wrong move, Hajime.

He's going to block me in front and underneath. Sorry to say, i'm going left and that made him dumbfounded as i do a back walkover and use my skill which is blood wings.

Bumagal ito pero hinook niya ako. Agad akong umapak sa blade nito at lumipad using the wings. I won ginamit ko ang shattered bats saka inihanda sa likod niya

Tumakbo ako papalapit sa pwesto niya dahil sa pagsabog.

"Not so easy missy" shit. Buti nadodge ko ang pagatake niya sakin. 60 seconds lang ang itatagal sa akin ng Shield at Wings.

Tinuhod ko siya saka sinipa at umatake ulit. Patindi na ng patindi ang ingay at iilan na rin ang nakikita kong mga players.

Fudge. 'Yung pagkain ko!

Tumalon ako sa ere saka siya hinook at hinatak papaitaas. 30 seconds "Damn" sambit nito na ikinangisi ko kaya binagsak ko siya saka sinalo sa ibaba 10 seconds at tinutukan ko siya ng scythe sa leeg nang makababa kami sa lupa.

Agad ko namang kinain yung tinapay saka siya tinignan at nginisihan muli.

I pant as i removed my scythe on his throat "shu! You're good... For a girl" and then he laughed "Never underestimate a girl" i said and tapped his back. How many minutes did i waste on this?

"I told you" Lissana said and laughed "Whatever" Everything turned back to normal as we've finished. Some talks about it. Even other players watch the fight.

"That's Kaori of that 'Kaori'?"

"Yep. Rank 1 in the country with Lissana, Ayato and now she just win on a duel with Hajime the top 3 in rank"

Umiling ako saka pinansin sina 'tong mga meatheads na kasama ko

"Having thoughts of Kaori in bruises?" Sabay tawa ni Hajime.

Tumawa na rin ako sa sinabi ni Hajime. Ayato sure does like my father when he was still with me.

"Eh! What are you?! A weirdo?!" Lissana shouted at Hajime "Halika na. Maghahanap pa tayo ng Quest diba?" Nagayos na ako saka naglakad na

Para the more na matapos namin agad, the more we can explore this game.
