Mafillia University

Chapter 13

"Devi!"

Sofi and I looked at Audrey rushing here in our direction. Kasunod nito ang mabilis din na naglalakad na si Adrian.

"My father is already here. He wants to meet—" We saw how Audrey's face changed into shocked.

Nang tiningnan ko ang dahilan ng kanyang pagkabila ay doon ko lang nakita ang aking ama at si Uncle Frederick na magkasunod nang naglalakad papunta muli sa puwesto namin. Nauna kasi kaming pumunta rito ni Sofi at naiwan sila kanina dahil may sinagot pa itong tawag.

"Your father is also here." She said with widened eyes.

"Manunuod." Saad ko bago hinintay ang paglapit nila.

Nang makalapit sila ay hindi muna ito umupo bagkus ay napalingon ito sa bagong balik na si Adrian kasama ang isang may edad na lalaki rin na hindi ko napansin kanina.

"Long time no see, Dmitri." Ngiti nito at naglahad ng kamay na tinanggap ng aking ama.

"Zandro." Tangong sambit pabalik ng aking ama.

"Meet my children. The future of Lowe. Adrian and Audrey." The siblings vowed their head as sign of respect. My father nodded before glancing at me.

"This is Persephone." As always. He will never say the word child or daughter. He will always introduced me as Persephone.

And the rest information about me is up to the knowledge of the person he is talking to.

"Oh. The famous Lady Persephone." I grinned as Lord Zandro looked at me in awe.

Good thing, everyone know my name Persephone. Because, I made sure of it.

Saglit lang silang nagusap dahil agad silang tinawag at pinaunlakan na umupo sa isang platform sa gilid ng arena. Gaganapin ang tournament sa isang malaking bulwagan na kasing sukat na rin ng field namin. Madalas lang daw ito gamitin para sa ganitong mga okasyon.

"Good morning, Mafiosos." Ang malamig na boses ni Lord Valentin o Headmaster Valentin ang umalingawngaw sa speakers.

"The rules are still the same. Each one of you will be given your respective flag. Protect your own flag and eliminate everyone to win alone. Each flag has points according to your position in mafia. Good luck."

Saglit kaming nagkatinginan ni Sofi bago naglakad pababa sa arena. Everyone is casually walking towards the professors who will give our own flags.

Kulay pula ang ibinigay sa akin at nakalagay dito ang puntos na fifty. It means, every future Mafia Lords has fifty points. Kusang hinanap ng mata ko ang kapareho ko. Looks like we have the same thoughts.

Damian—Ian is smirking at me.

My attention was diverted when a vest was handed to me. Katulad ng training, hanggang vest lang dapat ang lahat ng atake. It's okay if you're knocked out, just make sure that they're not dead. Bawal pa ring makapatay.

I shrugged as I wear my vest. There's no fun without killing someone.

Nang pumutok ang isang baril na hudyat na para magsimula ay kusang nagtakbuhan ang lahat patungo sa gitna ng arena. Mula sa mga gilid na bahagi ng arena ay ilan na lamang ang natira dahil nagsitakbuhan ang karamihan sa gitna kung saan nakalatag ang mga armas.

They probably thought that they will have more advantage if they have weapons. Little they know, it was just a strategic plan.

Katulad ko, mukhang marunong magisip ang mga Elites. Nanatili rin sila sa kanilang puwesto at pinanuod ang ibang estudyante na nakakuha ng armas. At dahil halos lahat ay nasa gitna at nakakuha ng sandata, sila sila ang unang naglaban. Stupid students.
