That Nerd has a Secret (PUBLISHED UNDER PSICOM)

Chapter 15: The Master and the Mistress

"As expected from the top 1 and top 2!"

"They are really amazing..."

"I wish I can be like them."

"Ang lakas talaga nila. Halos kasing lakas na nila ang Alpha."

Marami pa akong narinig na pagpupuri sa kanila but suddenly a loud bang was heard na galing sa pinaghulugan ng demon.

I knew it, it's jaw was dislocated pero ang nakakagulat ay nakakagalaw pa rin ito. Kinakalaban siya ng Alpha pero mukhang hindi sapat ang kapangyarihan nila. Ganon ba kalakas ang demon na 'to?

"We really need that demon slayer," sabi ng isang babaeng nakadungaw din sa sira-sirang building tulad ko.

They were bullying me and now they need me? Tsk.

Should I get down there and help them? Pero paano kung malaman nila that I existed? Hindi lang ako ang puwedeng mapahamak. Maging sila rin ay malalagay sa panganib. Matatakot sila sa 'kin at isa pa, what if he'll find me?

Nanatili pa rin akong nakatingin sa ilalim, watching as the Alpha fight that demon.

"Who are you?" nagulat ako nang nagsalita si Paxton sa gilid ko. He's looking at me like I'm someone dangerous.

"I'm a student here," sagot ko.

He looked at me sharply. With a stern and deep voice, he said, "Hindi ako naniniwala sa 'yo. Kung dito ka nag-aaral, dapat noon pa kita napansin. Aside from your beauty, you have the same aura as her."

Napakunot ang noo ko. "What do you mean?"

Sino ba talaga 'tong si Paxton? Why is he always following me? I mean the nerd me.

Napatingin siya sa ilalim. Gayon din ako and saw the Alpha's struggle as they fight that demon. Akala ko ba sila ang pinakamalakas dito sa academy? Is the demon really that strong o mahina lang talaga sila?

I'm still waiting for his answer pero hindi na siya nagsalita. Cein jumped from the fourth floor towards the field where the demon is and helped the Alpha. This academy never fails to surprise me. Lalo na ang mga estudyante.

The rest of the students ran outside led by an instructor. Pinasunod niya kami but Paxton insisted na huwag na.

Naramdaman ko na lang na may matalim na bagay na nakatutok sa leeg ko. It was his nails. Long, sharp nails that are enough to rip a flesh. It's not a nail of a human but rather a nail of a beast. Maybe a wolf or a fox.

"Did the demon clan sent you?" he whispered through my ear. Nanayo ang balahibo ko.

"Wala akong alam sa sinasabi mo," I answered coldly.

"One more lie and I'll kill you," he said in a stern and deep voice.

Napatingin ako sa kanya. His ears were above his head like a fox. A tail grew from his back and his nails were even sharper. So he's not human? Nakakagulat 'to. I never thought such creatures really exist.

I smirked. "Try me."

There's no need to use a cover. Hindi ko naman suot ang disguise ko kaya walang nakakakilala sa akin.

Nanggalaiti siya as he removed his claws from my throat.

"Tss..."

Isa na namang nakakabinging sigaw ang nanggaling sa ilalim. I looked down at sakto namang tumalon si Paxton papunta dun. The demon was agonizing in pain habang may light circle ang nakapalibot sa kanya. It was the Pro Alpha's doing na kararating lang. Wearing his usual emotionless face.
