She's The Cursed Goddess

XVI: His Secret

Blei's Point of View

Lumabas ako ng training room nang mapansin kong sinundan niya si Chry. At alam kong papunta 'yon sa favorite training spot niya. Chry distaste those people who would try to interrupt her during her training. She's also short-tempered just like her deity.

Her looks screams that she has the experience. She's also a top tier student in our training class. Kanina ko pa kasi napapansin kay Ace na palaging nakatingin kay Chry. Alam ko kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng mga titig na 'yon, pero kailangan ko pa rin siyang balaan.

"How dare you!" Chills went straight down to my spine when Ace's voice echoed in my ears. "You wounded me, you insolent woman! You will regret messing with me, daughter of Zeus."

The way Ace utter those words, those who didn't know his deity will immediately recognize whose son he is. It even stunned me for seconds. Ganoon ang epekto kapag isang anak ng goddess of love and beauty.

Sinundan ko kung saan galing ang boses ni Ace. Nagtago ako sa isang malaking kahoy nang makarating ako sa pinanggalingan ng kaniyang boses. This place is located at the back of the academy. Kung saan puro mga kakahuyan lang ang makikita.

Sumilip ako. Laking gulat ko na lamang nang makita si Ace na ganoon ang sitwasyon. Nakita ko pa kung paano ngumisi si Chry. Sira ba siya? Pwedeng ikamatay ni Ace ang stage niya ngayon, I mean, his ability evolution.

Tiningnan ko si Ace at sinuri ang buong katawan niya. Doon ko nakita ang lightning injury niya sa braso. And I am sure, 'yon ang nakapag-trigger sa ability niya. Our ability evolution will be triggered when we felt sudden pain. Napasinghap ako nang umatake si Ace kay Chry.

Chry's wide smile on her lips remained.

Bawat atake ni Ace, iniiligan lang ito ni Chry. I looked at her in disbelief. Fighting someone while the ability evolution is activated might've cause someone's death. Fighting isn't the solution, she should restrain him instead.

Kailangan kong gumawa ng paraan.

Before I could think of the solution, out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Chry manipulate lightning bolts directly from the heavens. Tumama ito sa harap ni Ace dahilan para mapatalsik siya patungo sa kahoy. Bumagsak siya nang patihaya papuntang lupa.

Ace should use his ability. Why can't he use it to defeat her? Or perhaps, he didn't know how to use it yet. Nakita kong tumayo si Ace sa pagkabagsak. Nang makatayo siya, doon ako nagulat nang mag-appear ng kusa ang necklace niya na may pendant na swan.

My mouth fully opened when I saw his eyes glowed. Kasunod ng paglutang niya sa ere few inches away mula sa lupa. I saw his smirk quickly plastered upon his lips.

Alam ko na yata ang gagawin ni Ace kay Chry. Iyan ang pinaka-hate ni Chry, ang gamitin ang ability na namana kay Aphrodite against her. Not a good idea, but maybe it's alright to use it to stop Chry from harming him in the middle of his ability evolution.

"Kneel."

Nagulat na lamang ako nang pati ako napaluhod sa kinatatayuan ko. Napatingin ako kay Ace. Charmspeak is an ability to command someone without their will.

It is a form of hypnotism or persuasion in which it allows the speaker to convince someone else to do or get whatever they want. The strength of the command depends on the tone and the emotion of the charmspeaker's voice, as well as their skill with it.

And since Ace is not on himself, pati ako nadamay. Our ability is stronger when we are unconscious of what is happening. But of course, except for those demigods who know how to control it.
