Codename: Alpha Zero

Chapter 13

ALPHERO

Mina is absent today. Another excuse letter was sent to our adviser. It's all about that workshop again. I had someone research the workshop. And guess what I found?

The workshop doesn't exists. It's all a cover up for a big secret.

'Yan ang bumabagabag sa akin ngayon. Mina is lying to hide something. Something that if I found out, I don't think I'll be able to handle it.

"Hey, you're spacing out again," Randy said as we go to the gymnasium. It's our PE class today.

"This is nothing to worry about," I assured.

"You're always thinking deep more often these days," si Marsh naman ang nagsalita. 

"Don't mind me. I'm okay."

Hindi na sila nagsalita pa nang makapila na kami sa harap ng teacher namin.

"Listen class! For today's activity, we will have a martial arts practice! You can do anything as long as it's related to any kinds of martial arts. I'll pair you up! Get ready!"

Time passed and the pairings are done. I will face our most biggest classmate. Marsh will face its right hand, and Randy will face a girl. Funny.

Candy and Janine are paired, which means they will face each other. Our teacher also explained the rules of the activity. You can win by knocking the opponent out, forcing them out of the line, or making them surrender. Winners will gain a higher grade than the losers.

The fight started with Marsh. Pumunta na sila sa gitna. When the teacher signalled the start of the fight, Marsh's opponent rushed to him. He kicked but Marsh dodged it easily. He held his arms and threw him out.

"Good move, Marsh," bati ng teacher namin kay Marsh.

The other battles continued and Randy is the next one to fight. They positioned themselves and got ready for the fight.

"I don't want to do this but I didn't said that I don't hit girls," pagyayabang pa ni Randy.

Sumugod siya sa kalaban niya. He ducked and tried to kick his opponent in the stomach but she just dodged easily. The girl kicked him downwards. Nakabangon agad si Randy pero nasipa ulit siya ng babae. Every time he tries to get up, he's always getting hit by his opponent.

Tumingin siya sa 'kin at tumango ako. He smirked and get up quickly. Naging mabilis ang galaw niya at kita sa mukha ng babae ang pagkagulat. She didn't have time to defend herself and Randy kicked her multiple times until she's forced out of the line.

"T-That was incredible of you, Steves," papuri ng teacher namin.

Next is Candy and Janine's fight. Looks like they are both holding back when they positioned themselves. As expected of 'best friends', ha!

Sumugod sila sa isa't-isa pero parang walang nangyayaring maganda. They are just hitting each other with weak attacks. After a minute that felt like hours because of boredom, the fight is finished when Candy surrendered.

The other fights became boring also. About a few minutes, the last fight begun. And it is my fight.

"I'm sure Calvin will win this."

"Yeah but I haven't seen Alphero fight yet."

"I've already saw it and I can say na may laban siya kay Calvin."

"I've seen it, too! Mabilis 'yan si Alphero. I bet a hundred pesos that he'll win!"

"I bet on Calvin."
