"I'm finally home." Yan ang nasabi ko habang pinapark ko ang Brabus Cabriolet sa labas ng gusaling tinuring kong home.
As I am staring at it, hindi pa rin nagbabago ang kahit alin sa mga features nito. The first time I saw it, it was more of a hell compound. Since age 5, ngayon lang ulit ako nakabalik dito. All thanks to Madam Hyacinth for the change of meeting place. I guess my classes siya dito.
The Victorian walls makes it look classy, despite of its old age. Habang naglalakad ako sa hallway, it's like I'm taking a trip down memory lane.These old Victorian-style walls welcoming you to the main building where classes are held still look the same. They need a front which is not questionable to nosy people. Parang office lang siya actually, but when you go further till you see a back door, you'll see a compund of apartment-like buildings. Four buildings that could hold almost 1000 people. The compound is consisted of a school, a dorm, the fake office and the real office. Ang napakalawak na oval ang una mong makikita pagkatapos mong makalabas sa isang secured gate, after the back door of the fake office. At my left is the building where trainings are held - the school, unfortunately, not the normal type of school; more like a training academy. The center, the genesis of every official mission, the crowning glory of the P.R.I.M.E: the real office. At my right is the building of doom, or the so-called 'dorm'. Actually, this is where street fights are normal. Kasi nga, pinapatunayan namin sa isa't-isa kung sino ang mas nakakalamang sa amin. Tinahak ko ang daan patungo sa dati kong kwarto, pero hindi sa kalayuan pa lang ng kintatayuan ko, nakakaririnig ako ng malalakas na hiyawan.
Umupo ako sa may paanan to get a clearer view of what's happening. Normal day fight it is. It wasn't this chaotic when our batch left, or when it started. Kahit meron man, hindi naman din masyadong malaki ang mga pinag-aawayan namin.
"Sige pa! Sa tiyan naman!"
"Jab jab jab jab"
"Finish him!"
The usual hobby. Isa sa mga training grounds ng pagiging agent ang mga gantong scene. Riotsare commonly seen in this place. Since the fight is getting sappy because one of them is losing, I decided to stop them.
With my full strength, sumingit ako sa mga kumpulan ng tao at nung nakarating ako sa unahan, tamang tama lang timing ko. He's beneath her, and she's about to punch him, which will leave him unconscious for approximately 6 weeks. Grabe na rin ang mga pasa na nakuha nila. Grabbing the girl's right hand, napatingin siya sa akin. Natahimik lahat at natuon ang lahat ng atensyon sa amin. I looked at her and smirked, seeing that she's really mad as a wet hen for I guess, ruining her moment? Nagsalubong ang kanyang mga kilay, and I've never seen such hatred & anger overflowing her eyes.
"Patay! Pag nagalit si Chal, wala siyang pakialam sa binabangga niya"
"Miss, umalis ka na lang diyan baka madamay ka pa!"
Wow. These kids are warning me? For real? Where's the respect for your elders guys? Nilingon ko sila and I glared at them all which made them step back. When I was about to look at her back, nasalag ko ang kaliwang kamao niya na nanginginig na. Tired? Pissed? I think so. So much angst for a kid. Lahat naman ay napa whoa sa ginawa ko. As if it's really hard to predict what she does next.
