'The Conspiracy'

XIN

The moment we stepped out of the dorm, Milo immediately killed one Hunter with a blast of his fire.

"Oh yeah~ What's cookin'? What's cookin'?" Tiningnan lang namin si Hoshi na sumasayaw pa papunta sa field at hindi ko na napigilan sina Duke at Baxter na sumali sa kanya. They were playing on the field like kids while the students around them were running for their lives.

"First time seeing a Hunter?" Tanong ni Jayden sa sarili nung makita niya kung paano nagsitakbuhan ang mga studyante dahil sa takot. I guess it's their first time seeing one because of how they react. Meanwhile, there's three dorks dancing on the field, waiting for Hunters to come at them.

"Ey, Hunters! We serve fresh souls over here!" Sigaw ni Hoshi at bigla nalang nagkumpulan ang limang Hunters sa itaas nilang tatlo. Napasapo nalang si Wolfie sa noo niya dahil sa nakikita niya.

"He's going to be the death of me." Aniya at agad na nagbago ng anyo. Binigay ko nalang ang horcrux ko kay Vernon habang naghahanda namang lumipad sina Joshua at Jayden.

Hoshi eliminate five Hunters at once just by beaming light at them while Seth took down three Hunters by lightning. Walter was obviously enjoying the bloodshed in front of him as to how he easily slices Hunters into half using his horcrux.

"Baxter! Duke! Secure the students!" Utos ni Seth sa kanila at agad naman silang tumigil sa pagsayaw dun sa field at iniwan si Hoshi na sumasayaw dun na mag-isa kahit walang music. Natawa nalang ako sa kanya at naibaling ko agad ang tingin ko kay Milo na nakatayo sa field.

He had his sunglasses on, fire coming out of his hand like it was nothing and he was burning the sky above him. After that, numbers of Hunters fell on the ground. Tiningnan ko lang sila habang nakaupo ako dito sa bench. Jayden sat beside me and tapped my shoulder.

"You've been holding your frustrations for quite some time now. Let it out." Pagkasabing-pagkasabi niya nun ay agad na tumingin si Seth sa kanya.

"Jay! Bakit mo inuutusang lumaban si Xin?" Sumbat niya dito pero hindi man lang siya pinansin ni Jayden at ngumiti pa habang nakatingin kay Wolfie na panay patay ng mga Hunters na pumapalibot kay Hoshi dahil wala itong pakialam at sumasayaw parin. Napabuga nalang ako ng hangin at tumayo na.

I think Jayden has a point. I cracked my knuckles and stretched my body.

"Duke? Do you have tea?" Tanong ni Jayden habang nakaupo siya sa bench at lumapit naman si Duke sa kanya matapos nitong paalisin ang mga studyante sa field. He immediately laid out his tea seat and had tea like we're in a garden.

Napaawang nalang ang bibig ng mga studyanteng nakakita rito. Hoshi immediately left Wolfie in the field at lumapit kina Jayden tsaka kumain ng cookie. Seth just groaned in frustration after snapping a Hunter's neck.

"Seriously?" Vernon couldn't believe his eyes, but this isn't the first time that this happened kaya wala na siyang nagawa.

"Boys, it's tea time." Kalmado kong sabi sa kanila at tiningnan lang ako ni Jun na parang hindi pa siya sang-ayon sa gagawin ko. More Hunters came in at tiningnan ko lang sila na sa akin ang tingin. Tinapik ko na ang balikat ni Jun at pinapunta na siya kina Jayden.

Right, my blood is boiling, my head is aching. I've been so stressed. Time to relief this pent-up anger of mine.

"All for you, Xinny." Nakangiting sabi ni Milo at inilahad ang kamay niya sa mga Hunters na paparating sa akin bago siya lumapit dun sa bench. Tiningnan ko lang si Seth na hindi pa sana titigil sa ginagawa niya pero dahan-dahan na siyang hinila ni Joshua papunta sa bench.
