"Silver! Silver!" The crowd erupted in a rhythmic chant as she delivered a barrage of punches to her opponent's face. The cacophony of cheers only subsided when the bell rang, signaling the end of the intense match.
Victory echoed through the arena in a symphony of jubilation.
Standing tall, she expelled a mouthful of blood, an aftermath of the fierce confrontation.
The announcer proclaimed her triumph, and the arena reverberated with the thunderous applause of the spectators.
Facing the crowd, her expression remained stoic as she raised her fist in a silent declaration of victory.
Post-fight, she wasted no time and headed straight to Alfredo's office, the organizer and proprietor of the arena.
"That's the payment, kiddo," Alfredo gestured towards the briefcase on the table, which she promptly retrieved.
A nod of acknowledgment preceded her exit.
However, before she could take a step, Alfredo halted her progress.
"When will you come back?" he inquired.
Turning to face him, she grinned.
"Call me when you find a fighter who can defeat me."
A smile played on the man's lips, accompanied by a nod.
"Okay, I'll call you."

Pinaandar niya ang kaniyang sariling motorsiklo pauwi sa kaniyang bahay. Malayo ang kaniyang bahay sa bayan kaya naman isang oras din ang kaniyang byahe papunta roon. Malapit ang bahay na pinagawa niya sa gubat malayo sa bayan.Mas gusto kasi niyang nag-iisa at napapaligiran ng kalikasan. Nag-iisang bahay lang 'yon do'n kaya hindi mahirap hanapin.
Binawasan niya ang bilis ng kaniyang motorsiklo nang nasa pathway na siya patungo sa bahay niya. Nang maipasok na niya sa garahe ang kaniyang motor ay agad siyang pumasok sa bahay at nagtungo sa kaniyang kwarto.
As she finally inside her room, she let herself collapse on her bed without treating her cuts and bruises.
Well, they're gonna heal by tomorrow but I think the burns made by silver will take days to heal. Sabi niya sa kaniyang isip.
Napahikab pa siya hanggang unti-unti na rin siyang tinatalo ng antok.

Nang mag-ingay ang kaniyang alarm clock ay malakas na pinukpok niya ito gamit ang kaniyang kamay. Nayupi naman ang gitna bahagi, na natamaan ng kaniyang kamay, ng kawawang alarm clock sa ginawa niya.
Naiinis na itinakip niya ang unan sa kaniyang mukha at doon sumigaw.
Fuck! I only sleep 3 freaking hours! I'm still tired!
Pero di siya pweding magreklamo kailangan niyang pumasok sa paaralang.
After 5 and a half minutes of staring at the ceiling she finally got up and fixed herself.
Nagto-toothbrush nang mapadako ang mata niya sa paso niya sa mukha at sa kaniyang braso mula sa salamin. Wala na ang mga pasa niya pero ando'n pa rin ang paso nang dahil sa silver.
After doing her morning rituals she left her room and went to her kitchen. Agad niyang tinungo ang refrigerator niya binuksan ito but to her disappointment, there's no food in there.
She mentally facepalmed.
I forgot, I'm out of stock.
So, she decided to leave her house without something in her stomach.
