Gangster Empress:Gangster Evolution (SLOW UPDATE)

Chapter 22: GE;GE√ Empress Challenge III (SKILL CATEGORY I)

I shook my head lightly. They don't know anything, huh?

Umugong ang bulungan at masasamang tingin sa akin ng ilan. Bida-bida daw ako at pasikat. Kingina! Ano bang nagawa ko bukod sa sabihing mali ang ibinigay nilang equation sa'min?

"Okay people of Mendell! Settle down!" Nakuha ang lahat ng atensyon namin ng magsalita na naman ang dalawang emcee sa harap. Nakangisi ang mga ito sa amin—lalong lalo na sa akin. Napataas ang kilay ko at napamulsa na lang.

"Before we show you the correct answer, let's watch a short video clip first." Ngiting-ngiti silang dalawa at agad tinuro ang malaking screen sa gilid nila. Sa mga monitor rin sa taas ay may nag-play ng parehong video na nasa malaking screen.

Everyone fell in silence and focus their eyes on the screen. Unang bumungad sa amin ang isang lalaking nasa mid-40s sa panahong kinuhanan yun. Black and white pa ang kulay ng video, halatang luma. Sa baba nun ay may nakalagay na pangalan; Professor Calisto Beethoven.

Ipinakita rin ang equation na ginawa niya na sinasagutan namin kanina.

Umugong ulit ang bulungan. I can't help but to nod my head. So that guy is Calisto, I can't explain how disappointed I was for him. Creating an equation who doesn't have any answer in the first place. He looks genius pa naman. Oh well, don't judge the book by it's cover, read what's inside and be amazed on what you discover. Lol.

I click my tongue getting annoyed already. What's this film all about? Can they just spill the beans already so we can get this over with and continue for the third category? Cause, seriously people, wala na naman akong kain.

Tangina.

My rants got interrupted when the video already starts to play. Parang may isang Quiz Bee competition ang nagaganap sa isang silid at maraming estudyante ang nandodoon. Ipinakita kung paano nagsagutan ang lahat pero nangingibabaw ang isang babaeng nakatitig lang sa papel na hawak niya. Siya lang ang hindi kumikibo. Nag-freeze ang video at nag-zoom in sa babae. Lumabas sa gilid ang information niya.

The girl is Lara Hunkman! And that video is filmed on 2001! The day where they discovered that Calisto Beethoven's new formed of equation was wrong. A decade just passed and even the most genius on mathematics that time didn't answer the equation Calisto Beethoven give, until Lara Hunkman.

Tumayo si Lara at lumapit sa organizers nang quiz bee na iyon at kinausap.  Nagkagulo ang mga tao at may iba pang hindi naniniwala sa kanya. Wondering what Lara Hunkman said to the organizers?

" Excuse me, please. But I guess this equation you were giving to us was wrong. It doesn't have any correct answer nor wrong answer, because the equation itself was wrong."

I can't help but to lick my lips and grin. Everyone turn they gazes on me with wide eyes open and mouth hang open. Lara just said the words I exactly said earlier.

Now this is a history.

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"Excuse me, please. But I guess this equation you were giving to us was wrong. It doesn't have any correct answer nor wrong answer, because the equation itself was wrong."

Halos magtayuan ang balahibo ng lahat ng marinig ang eksaktong salita na binigkas ni Lara Hunkman sa video at sa isinagot ni Chemistry kani-kanina lang. Nangilabot sila sa tindi ng kaba at pagkamangha!

Paanong nangyayari yun? Kailan? Paano? Bakit?

Walang matinong tanong ang namumuo sa kanilang mga isipan kundi nagsisimula lang sa 'paano'.

Halos mangapa sa dilim ang Black Superior dahil sa nasaksihan. Amazement and awe was an understatement to explain what they are feeling right now. They can't believe how did that happened or what the hell just happened—but damn it! The girl, Chemistry gave them a total creep and shivers down to their spines.
