Flame Academy

/25/

Hindi ko alam kung ilang oras na akong tumatakbo sa loob ng gubat. After those flamers from the Dark Academy took Miss Liana away and attacked us, nagkahiwa-hiwalay na kami at hindi ko alam kung nasaan na sila.

Napatigil lamang ako sa pagtakbo nang maabutan na ako ng tatlong lalaking humahabol sa akin. I swallowed hard because of the nervousness as they cornered me.

"We don't need to fight, you know," said one with a smirk. "If you will do what we want, we won't hurt you."

"We'll be gentle, miss beautiful."

Pero parang bula na naglaho ang kaba ko dahil sa sinabi nila. They are smirking at me and looking at me from head to toe. Obviously, they want me to do something vulgar with them.

And I will never let that happen.

My flame came out from my hands and their smirks vanished. Kita ko ang gulat sa mga mata nila, probably shock that the girl in front of them owns one of the most powerful flames.

"Gentle?" I whispered and smiled. "Sorry. Because I like it the hard way."

In just an eyeblink, all of them are already sent flying away from me. Their bodies hit the trees and their heads banged the ground.

Medyo nakonsensya naman ako sa ginawa ko. Pero kung hindi ko sila sasaktan, ako naman ang sasaktan nila. I just need to protect myself.

Before they can even get up, I immediately made myself invisible and ran away, leaving them unknowing which way I went. In that way, they can no longer run after me.

Nang makalayo na ako, I already made myself visible and summoned my phoenix. Sumakay ako kaagad sa likuran nito at tahimik na lang na hiniling na sana mahanap ko kaagad iyong iba at mabawi namin si Miss Liana.

I used my invisibility power once again when we are already flying by air. I roamed my eyes around to find them. Malalim na ang gabi at madilim na din sa loob ng gubat kaya medyo nahirapan akong mahanap sila.

After a few minutes, I saw different lights at one part of the forest. We immediately flew towards that direction. Nang makalapit na kami, nakita ko sila Jillian, Bea, at Ace na nakikipaglaban sa 'di bababa sa sampung flamers.

While still being invisible, I sent flameballs towards their enemies' direction. Tumilapon ang ilan sa kanila habang napaangat naman ang tingin ng iba.

The phoenix and I landed on the ground and I made her disappear. After that, I started to attack the other enemies without them seeing me.

"What the fuck?!" the only girl in their group yelled.

"Looks like luck is on our side now," Jillian said and smirked. Hindi ko alam kung nararamdaman nila ako pero base sa mga ngisi nila, mukhang alam nilang nandito ako.

"Don't rejoice yet, bitch," that girl said and roamed her eyes around. There are sparks of orange flames coming out from her hands.

Jillian kept her eyes on her and attacked her. Bumangon naman ang ilan sa kanila kaya kaagad na kumilos sila Bea at Ace. Sumulpot naman sa kung saan si Neo at saglit na gumawa ng shield nang paulanan sila ng flame daggers.

While they are all busy fighting their opponents, I was busy roaming my eyes around. For the second time, magkakasama na naman kaming lima pero kulang ng isa.

Why does that Main Titan always missing in action?

Napaatras naman ako sa kinatatayuan ko nang mapunta sa direksyon ko ang isang flameball na galing sa kalaban ni Jillian. Napalapit na din sila sa aking dalawa kaya napausog ako palayo.
