CHAPTER ONE "Young lady, nakahanda na po ang sasakyan." Nilingon ko ang repleksyon ng butler ko sa salamin sa harap ko at tumango. "Susunod ako," I said and removed my gaze at Trench. Tumango siya at umalis na. I let out a deep sigh and got my dagger and placed it underneath my coat. I checked my things and immediate got myself out of the room afterwards. It is better to be prepared and keep myself safe. Who knows what will going to happen next? Just by thinking that my father's foes are scattered around the city… Hell, I don't want to be killed this early. And speaking of my father, he called. Pinapapunta niya ako sa headquarters. May sasabihin daw siyang importante. That it needs to be personally told. But how I wished he just told that thing through call. [Sphinx Mafia Headquarters, 5:45 PM] "Miss, Mr. Kim is waiting for you in his office right now," father's secretary approached me. Hindi ko siya pinansin at dumiretso na sa elevator. I entered and clicked the 25th floor button where father's office is located. "What is the very important thing, Dad?" I asked as I reached his table. Naghintay akong tapusin niya ang tawag sa kausap nito sa telepono. Afterwards, he turned and faced me while seated on his luxurious swivel chair. "I'm glad you came, princess. Take a seat," he said. He smiled and gestured me to sit on the sofa that is located in front of his table. I nearly rolled my eyes. He's making this longer. "Just spit it out Dad. I have lot things to do," I said instead and took a little effort to cross my arms. "Okay, okay… I just want you to know that I had already enrolled you to college. You're going to build a progressive social life. Clear and it's final." I groaned when I realize how unimportant his reason was. What the heck. He should have told that nonsense thing through call. "Yeah, right Dad. Are you done?" I said boredly but he just gave me a warning glare. What?! I mentally rolled my eyes before I turned my back at him and left. I heard father calling for me yet I acted like I didn't hear anything. Oh, well… As if I care. I rolled my eyes and rushed towards the elevator. Napangiwi na lang ako. Father really know how to waste my precious time. Tsk. Late na ako. I heard my phone rang. I dug out my phone and answered the call, not even glancing at the caller's I.D it flashes. "Yeah... I'll be there in ten minutes," I said and hang up the call as I speed up my red ferrari. [Blood Building, 6:00 PM] My personal assistant approached me and handed my uniform. Kinuha ko iyon at dumiretso sa isang kwarto para magpalit. Narinig ko ng magsalita ang host ng tournament. I tied my black belt onto my waist before I left the room and entered the hall. "And now, the most awaited part of the tournament is about to start." I started walking towards the ring. Pumasok ako at humilig sa sulok ng ring para hintaying magsimula ang laban. "From the red corner, here comes the legendary and gorgeous martial arts queen! Let us give a round of applause to Ezra Kim!" The crowd became wild. Does he really need to state that I'm gorgeous? Oh crap. I smirked after taking a glance at my rival's flawless face. Oh man. What is his reason on fighting me? He'll just end up regretting that he fought me. I sighed before forming an evil smile. But who knows… I might change my mind. "And from the blue corner, meet our new challenger… Kaito Nakamura!" Half of the audience chanted for him. A short trivia. In this level, opposite genders may fight but in lower levels, it is required to fight with your same gender. It's a rule that aims to make every fighter safe. I assure that this is legal, so what more if this is happened in the underground world? "Okay players, go to your designated positions. The battle is about to start," the referee announced and gestured us to meet on the center. Lumapit ako sa kanila. "Okay, take a bow to each other," he commanded and we did our bows. "And the game will start in 3… 2… 1… Fight!" Ibinaba ng referee ang kamay niya at humakbang paatras. I got myself alerted when he immediately threw me a punch. He then again threw a kick on my temple but I was able to block his attack. I twisted his leg. I smirked when he groaned in pain. But it didn't took long and he immediately recovered. Tumayo siya at lumayo. He positioned and attacked me with countless punches but of course I didn't let myself to be hit. I blocked his fist before it could reach my face and with all my strength, I twisted his arm. I kneed him on his stomach and for the last one, I gave him my signature move. Lumayo ako para maghanda. I stretched my leg and positioned. I ran towards him and lifted my left foot and did a back flip kick that his head received. Narinig kong tumunog ang sikmura ko pagkatapos kong gawin ang atake. Crap. I forgot to eat my meal because of father. I saw at my peripheral vision how my rival tried to stand and it amused me that he did. I smirked. Alright, let's see if you can still get up after this. I threw him a spike-kick. It made him fell on his knees. He reached his jaw and massaged it. The referee started to count. It already reached five seconds yet he didn't still get up. I turned when I heard my stomach growled again. I held my earpiece and activated it. "Yes, young lady?" It's Trench's voice. I was about to speak when something interrupted. I felt that something is coming from behind so I immediately bent my head and caught the dagger thrown from the back. I heard how the crowd gasped after witnessing the scene. "Prepare my food." I said and removed the earpiece. I smirked before facing him. As I thought. I checked out the dagger to find out the logo engraved on it. Damn. When are they going to stop? I walked towards him. I was amused when suddenly I saw fear in his eyes. I smiled and handed him the dagger. "Next time, don't throw your toys to anyone. Get it?" I said and pinched his cheeks. "Cute ka pa naman," I said which made his face red. I laughed at the thought. Why am I even doing this? I should be stabbing him right now instead of pinching his cheek. *** I walked lazily towards the car and got myself inside when I reached it. "I'm so sorry for waking you up too early, young lady. I need to follow Sir Kim's order," Trench apologized for the nth time. Yeah right. I rolled my eyes in disgust as I lean my back against the seat. It's just so damned. Why do I need to go to college when in fact, I almost knew everything. Don't get me wrong, I'm home schooled and I had accelerated lessons. I really don't like going to schools. You have to wake up early and I hate it. Just so you know, for pete's sake I'm not a morning person and I'll never be. "Ah…" I responded with sarcasm. I glanced at him with a bored look. He awkwardly laughed and turned the engine on. I rolled my eyes and focused it outside the window afterwards. "Young lady, you have to choose your course first before heading to the university," he said while his gaze is on the road. My brows furrowed. I thought father already chose one? So he's still giving me the right to choose the course I like. Duh. As if it would change the fact that I hate going to school. "Choose anything, I don't care." He just nodded and focused his attention on the road. *** [Clepsydra University, 8:17 AM] "Sigurado po ba kayong hindi na kayo magpapasama?" Trench asked for the third time. "Yeah. And f*****g don't ask again," I said. I rolled my eyes. Kinuha ko ang aking schedule na hawak niya at umalis na sa parking lot. The first thing I noticed when I reached the school grounds was the bitches who were having their asses in bullying the nerd student. I smirked as I passed them by. One of these days, I'm sure I'll be their next target. But I'll be sorry if they're going to mess up with me. Anyways, I'm definitely feeling hopeless right now as I tried to search for my room. I should've took Trench's offer. Kanina pa ako dito lakad ng lakad! For my eyes' sake! I'm dying to to take a nap. I really regret refusing Trench's offer a while ago. Before everything gets doomed, I called him and asked for the direction. He laughed at me. I wasn't able to mock him because I owe him a favor at iyon ay ang pagiging mabait sa kanya. Sa ngayon. The professor is already talking in front of the class when I arrived at the room. I caught everybody's attention when I knocked on the door. "Y-you must be Ezra Kim. C-come in and take your seat," professor told me. Did I see a glimpse of fear on my professor's eyes? Or maybe it's just a hallucination. I just shoved it away and walked through the rows as I got myself seated beside the window. I looked at my classmate who happened to be staring at me and gave him a glare. He immediately removed his gaze. Sorry for him then 'cause I don't want freakin' attentions. I tried to focus myself on the discussions but I immediately got bored. I've been self analyzing through the past years but I have to say that these people are very studious. First day of school, there is a discussion. How studious they really are. I took a nap instead since it was my aim a while ago and I'm sure our professor didn't notice me sleeping in his class. My first subject ended and the next one is about to start. So I called Trench again to ask where my next subject room is. "Can you see the blue building now, young lady?" Trench asked on the other line. "I guess. Is it the one beside the cafeteria?" I asked as I walk towards the area. "Yes, young lady. Iyong puting room na katabi ng blue building ang classroom mo." I thanked him before hanging up. Dumiretso ako doon at pumasok na. Umupo ako sa tabi ng bintana. Magsisimula pa lang ang klase. Nasa kalagitnaan ako ng klase ng maramdaman ko ulit ang boredom. I held my schedule and scanned it. Business Administration pala ang pinili ni Trench. Hindi na masama. Pero may tatlo pa akong subject para sa araw na 'to. Suddenly, I felt my stomach growled and I silently thanked God when the bell finally rang. Umalis ako ng room at dumiretso sa cafeteria. I bought the first snack I saw and I ate them once I got a table. I was about to eat the last bite of my pizza when some b***h poured on me my own juice. Damn. Akala ko pa naman makakakain ako ng matiwasay. Iniangat ko ang aking tingin. I thought so. They're the bitches I saw this morning. The bullies. A lopsided smile formed in my lips before I dropped my pizza and threw her a bored look. "Uh-oh… I'm sorry!" She said sarcastically. Damn. She's pissing me off. I stood up and shove my hair to prevent it from blocking my sight. Kinuha ko ang juice sa tray ng isa sa alipores niya at ininom iyon. "Thanks," I said as I returned the empty glass on the tray. I saw how anger grew on their faces. I smirked. I just drank the juice. What would their reaction be if I do such thing they wish not to happen? I was about to turn my back at them but one of the bitches grabbed my arm. She was about to slap me but someone slapped her hands away first. "Not again, Leora." I heard the guy spoke. I was like, "Hey b***h be thankful for this guy because he saved you." Pasalamat siya at on time ang lalaki niya. If not… she'll experience hell. Leora is her name, right? I should put her name on my black list. Seems like the guy knows me 'cause he just appeared on the right time. Or may be he is just her savior. I smirked before getting myself out of the scene. *** His' POV She's cool. An interesting girl. I dug my phone out and dialed Tweighn's number. He immediately answered. "Give me the information about the new student," I said and ended the call. I was about to leave when I felt arms wrapped around my arm. "Hi, babe," she said. I threw her a look. I clenched my jaw. "Leora." This girl… I already told her that I'm over with her.
