Heleina Cross Academy of Magic Part III: Alta Guild

Chapter Eighteen: Distraction

Ireneia Xyke Vein

"I should have known na hindi mo kayang tapusin ang misyon na ito Eros." My eyes remained on Eros who's now clenching his jaw dahil sa sinabi ng bisita namin.

"Shut the hell up Prim. You know you have no enough right to tell me what to do." Mapanuyang sabi naman ni Eros pabalik dito.

Primera's evil laugh echoed here in the woods bago mabilis pa sa kisap-matang nakalapit kay Eros at sinakal ito.

I took a step forward para sana tulungan si Eros ng marealize ko na kalaban nga pala sya. And he probably don't want me saving him from a lady.

So I just stand where I am standing and watch them as they shoot each other dagger looks.

It's funny how allies can be enemies in just a snap.

Makalipas ang ilang minuto ay binitawan na din naman ni Primera ang leeg ni Eros.

"Accomplish missions that are tasked to you Eros. Cause there would be no second chances for weaklings like you the next time you fail it." Madiin na sabi nito kay Eros as she turn her eyes on me.

"Hi. My dear cousin." She mockingly said bago ako kinawayan.

"Shut up." Malamig at walang emosyon na balik ko dito.

"Oh how I want to kill you." She sarcastically remarked bago ako sinamaan ng tingin.

I smirked bago in-unsummon ang guardian sword ko. I get a hold of the double blade katana na nakastrap sa likod ko at kinuha iyon.

"Oh I'd love to see you fail too." Mapanuyang bato ko sakanya na mas ikinasama ng tingin nya saakin.

"This is not yet the right time for us to face each other my dear cousin. And remember this, you'll regret underestimating me." After saying those words ay bigla na lang syang naglaho na parang bula.

I shifted my gaze to Eros na ngayon ay nakatingin deretso saakin. I was about to open my mouth to say something ng maunahan nya ako.

'Be careful'

Basa ko sa sinabi nya bago sya~sila tuluyang naglaho.

What the hell did he mean by that?

Iniexpect nya bang pagkakatiwalaan ko ulit sya? Kung meron mang dapat na mag-ingat, sila yun. Because the next time na magkaharap-harap kami I won't let them escape unscatted.

"Your family drama made me sick!" Singit ni Lukas na nawala sa isip kong kasama ko pala kanina.

"Buhay ka pa pala." Walang emosyon na sabi ko sakanya para asarin sya.

Exaggerated naman na suminghap sya as he clench his chest where his heart is located at umaktong parang nasaktan talaga sya sa sinabi ko.

"Ang sama mo naman!" He exaggeratedly said bago ako inambahan ng batok but it stopped mid-air ng tignan ko sya ng masama.

So instead of hurting me he turned to patting my head several times. Pinalis ko naman ang kamay nya bago tumingin sa paligid.

Nasaan na kaya yung mga yun?

"Where did they go?" Takang tanong ko kay Lukas na ngayon ay inaayos ang nagusot na army uniform nya. He also strapped his sword back to his side bago ako sinagot.

"I told them to meet us sa border. It's a river kaya mabilis lang natin yung matatrack. I just hope na hindi sila naligaw." Sagot nya bago nagsimulang maglakad.

Syempre sumunod naman ako sakanya dahil parehas lang naman kami ng pupuntahan.

Damn those evil mage for delaying our journey again.

I stopped walking ng may marealize ako.

delaying us.

What if it's really their motive?

Sunod-sunod na napamura ako bago tumakbo ng mabilis para hanapin ang mga kasamahan namin.

I should have known!

"Nia wait!" Sigaw ni Lukas na ngayon ay humahabol na din sa bilis ng takbo ko.

"We need to f*cking hurry Lukas or it will be too late!" Balik na sigaw ko sakanya. He turned silent bago mas binilisan ang takbo. He's now keeping up with my speed ngunit napatigil ako sa pagtakbo ng bigla syang magshift into a really unique looking horse.

'Hop in!'

He said through a mindlink kaya mabilis na umangkas ako sa likod nya as he ran his ass off. I took a handful of his horse hair at doon humawak para hindi ako mahulog.

He's running into an incredible speed kaya mabilis naming narating ang border where we saw them happily bathing themselves na para bang wala kaming misyon na kailangang tapusin ngayon.

Galit na bumaba ako sa kabayo bago sila nilapitan.

"Get your asses off of the water kung ayaw nyong pakuluin ko ang tubig na yan." Galit na sabi ko sakanila.

"What the hell is your problem?" Inis na tanong ni Piero Dean saakin while giving me a really piercing glare.

"It was a distraction. And we took it really well. They're already two steps ahead of us at kung hindi pa kayo aahon dyan...it will be too late for your family and it will all our fault." Madiin na sabi ko na ikinalaki ng mga mata nila.

Mabilis pa sa alas kwatrong umahon sila sa ilog at nagbihis.

"We'll be running." Seryosong sabi ko bago ginamit ang ability ko para itrack kung nasaan ang mga dark magic users.

"We'll take those bastards down. They'll surely see hell!" I said through gritted teeth as I stare north kung saan ko nararamdaman ang presensya nila.

They're miles away from us but no one can escape me.

No one can outrun the guardian's ability.
