CHAPTER 3 (Troy VS Red)

"Troy and Red. Get Ready."

Ngayon ay kaharap ko na si Troy.He's just standing cool a distance from me at mukhang kalmadong-kalmado. His mysterious eyes are staring straight at me while his hands are on his pocket. Hindi ko man siya lubusang kilala pero alam ko kung paano siya mag-isip. He is a type of a person na hindi basta bastang umaatake o lumalaban unless kung ikaw ang mauuna. Kapag titignan mo siya, he's not a type of a warfreak person dahil sa mala-tahimik niyang dating. But He is one of the Dangerous too in this Academy.

Napalunok ako ng ilang beses. I don't know what kind of feeling is this.But I think it is a sign of nervous. Alam kong training lang ito kaya wala akong dapat na ipag-alala but.. What if. What if hindi ko na-control yung ability ko? What if napabayaan ko ito at marami ang napahamak? And now, the negative vibes are starting to get in my nerves that causes my hands to tremble.

I released a deeply sighed. I am trying to calm myself and trying to think of what I need to do to control my ability. Kinakabahan man ako but I have to. I have to try. I have to do something.. I have to work on it. Training lang ito paano pa kaya kung laban na. Hayst. I really have to master the controling of ability. And now, we're just wait for Sir Peter's signal to start the training.

"And the last pair. Troy and Red." He looked at his watch and looks like he's waiting for something "START." And finally, Sir Peter's signal.

Tinanguan lang ako ni Troy na para bang sinasabing, Umpisahan mo. And now, I closed my eyes to concentrate. I held my both hands in the air while feeling the presence of my ability. At unti-unti ay nararamdaman ko na. Unti-unting nag-iinit ang mga palad ko at dahan-dahang lumalabas ang liwanag mula rito.

Sumilip ako sa kanang bahagi ng aking mata at nang makita ko na ang pag-exist ng aking ability ay tuluyan na ko ng binuksan ang mga mata ko. Tinapat ko ang liwanag na iyon sa kaniya and suddenly, as fast I know bigla namang lumabas ang apoy sa palad ni Troy at ngayon ay nagbabanggan ang ability namin.

Fire Vs Light and Dangerous vs Most Dangerous ang nangyayari.

Maya maya lang ay nakakaramdam na ako ng pagod. Tinignan ko naman si Troy at mukhang kalmadong-kalmado pa rin siya hanggang ngayon. And now, I am trying to control my ability pero sa pagkakataong ito, I failed. Biglang nawala ang liwanag na nagmumula sa aking palad kaya tumama sa akin ang apoy ni Troy pero buti na lang ay nakaiwas ako agad kaya slight lang ang napuruhan sa akin.

Napahawak na lang ako sa aking braso at naramdaman kong may mainit na likidong dumadaloy dito.

"FUCK!" I heard Troy shouted after the accident. Lumapit naman siya agad sa akin saka hinawakan ang bahagi ng balikat kong hindi napuruhan. "Ayos ka lang ba? S-Sorry.." Napayuko naman siya matapos sabihin ang mga salitang iyon. Bakas ngayon sa kaniyang mukha ang pagka-guilt.

Agad rin namang tumakbo papalapit sa amin si Sir Peter with his worried expression on his face. "Ms. Ashery, are you okay? Wait, I'll call some seer para magamot ka aga--"

"No." I confidently said. "I can handle myself. Besides, I can tolerate pain, so don't worry." Then I smiled at both of them. I'm trying to convince them but they just gave me that 'Nagtataka Look'.

Kanina ko pa napapansin ang mapangusap na mga mata ni Troy habang si Sir Peter naman ay naging kalamado like he knew what will happen next.

I looked directly and seriously at Troy's eyes saka hinawakan ang dalawa niyang kamay. "Let's do it again."
