AQR1: A Peerless Genius from Two Cities [COMPLETED]

24: Regroup

For the past few days, Emy's mood obviously didn't change. In fact, maging sila Feng at Francis ay nahalata din na bugnot ang dalaga nitong mga nakaraang araw. Franco, on the other hand, felt her rage through swordfighting. Halatang sa kanya ibinubunton ng dalaga ang inis nito.

Iniisip tuloy niya if he had done something that caused her irritation.

Days passed at nareceive ng balita si Emy. She heard that Diana has finally found a new HQ at malamang sa malamang ay kikilos na ito as soon as can.

That improves her mood. Ibig sabihin kasi non, the game will resume again.

As Diana prepares for her next move, she should also do the same. She has to make sure that all her pieces are in place kapag kumilos na si Diana.

Luckily, Calix contacted her again. Saying that he had already moved the girl in boutique. Galit pa rin siya dito dahil sa panttraydor sa kanya and she is still wieighing whether to trust him and that cursed prince, but she will surely take this chance to get her next piece.

The classes in Grey Academy had already resumed. Gaya ng dati, as much as she doesn't want to, kinailangang umattend ni Samantha ng klase niya.

Bumalik ang inis niya ng makita si Sebastian lalo pa nga at nginisian siya nito. The nerve! Kaya naman, buong klase ay wala siya sa mood.

Napuna naman iyon nila Cherry at Kelly. Naatasan sila ngayong araw na magreport tungkol sa Natural Selection. Habang nagdidiscuss sila ay napansin nila na hindi nakikinig sa kanila si Emy. Instead, she was busy looking at window and her mind is obviously drifting far away.

They smirked at each other. Diana might not able to shame her but this time, siguradong wala na silang ligtas.

"Ehem... It is time for us to ask question about the discussion. Miss Hans..." Tawag ni Kelly sa kanya.

Samantha looked at her lazily.

"Can you summarize to us the Natural Selection concept?" Tanong naman ni Cherry sa kanya with a smirk.

Their classmates just looked at each other. These two are picking Emy again.

Emy stared at them for a moment. Her gaze started to make Cherry and Kelly feel uncomfortable.

"M-miss Hans, don't tell us you are not listening earlier? Ang haba haba ng report namin tapos hindi ka nakinig?" -Kelly.

"No wonder she can't answer the question." -Cherry.

"Not really." Emy suddenly said lazily.

Something is wrong with her today, Kelly and Cherry thought. Usually, Emy will have a pretense of smiling before talking at them. Obviously today, she's not in the mood.

"I just thought your question is stupid."

"Pfft..." Di na pigilang tawa ng mga kaklase nila.

Nainis naman sila Kelly at Cherry dahil doon.

"Shut up." Sabi ni Kelly sa mga kaklase nila.

"If it does stupid, how come you can't answer it?"

"Who told you I can't?" Tumayo siya at saka nag-umpisang i"summarize" ang Natural Selection. Ibang iba ang pagkakaexplain niya kesa sa dalawa.

Even her classmates were surprised. They even started jotting down notes dahil may ilan sa sinasabi si Emy na hindi nabanggit ng dalawa.

When she's done, nakita niyang nakanganga yung dalawa sa unahan. She smirked. Dahil inumpisahan nila siya, dapat lang na tapusin niya iyon.
