Chapter 15: Final Evaluation (Part 1)

AIRA

Dumating na ang araw na kung saan masusubok ang kakayahan at kapangyarihan ko. I'm feeling nervous, and fear seems to be getting the best of me. It's as if I'm hesitating to continue. My fate depends on whether I'll pass or not. Kung sakaling makakapasa ako, magiging official member ako ng Hexad Group. Pero kung hindi ako makakapasa, di ko na alam kung ano ang mangyayari.

Binibigay ko ang lahat ng effort ko sa mga training session namin. Sa mga nakalipas na linggo, may mga natutunan akong bagong mga techniques. Hindi ko alam kung paano ang magiging takbo ng final evaluation ko, namin.

Kasi ang alam ko, maaaring silang apat ang makalaban ko sa evaluation. Medyo kabisado ko na rin naman ang mga techniques na ginagawa nila sa tuwing nagtre-training kami kaya wala naman akong problema ro'n.

Hindi dapat ako natatakot in the first place. Di ba gusto kong magpakabayani? Heroes shouldn't be afraid; they face challenges with bravery and strength.

Malaki ang tiwala ko sa sarili ko, malaki rin ang tiwala sakin ng mga kaibigan at grandparents ko. I can't show Josh that I'm all talk and lacking in action. I will stand by my words. Ipapakita ko sa kanila na karapat-dapat akong maging miyembro ng Hexad Group.

If we were to base it solely on sheer power, I'd undoubtedly be at a disadvantage, no doubt about it. However, I've come to realize that's not the case. I know they will base it on how creatively a member can strategize to outsmart the opponent and overcome obstacles.

At kung gagamitan ko sila ng talino at diskarte, malaki ang chance na magagawa kong manalo laban sa kanila. As they say, it's advisable not to display our fear to others because it can attract negativity and potentially manifest the things we fear.

Kaya once na makatapak ako ng battleground, ipaparamdam ko sa kanila ang kakaibang presence at aura ko. Na dumating akong prepared sa final evaluation at handa akong harapin ang lahat ng obstacles at challenges.

Impressing them with my power isn't the most important thing. To me, what truly matters is for them to witness my unwavering determination, perseverance, commitment, and dedication in everything I do. Yung tipong hindi lang ako napipilitan, kung hindi ay gusto ko talaga ang bagay na ginagawa ko.

Aira Devirox, you've got this! Keep pushing forward! I have full confidence that you'll pass the evaluation. Show them that you truly deserve the title of the princess of Winter Wonderland through your actions.

Kakatapos lang naming kumain ng breakfast kanina at kasalukuyan kaming nakaupo. The four of us have already dressed in our battle outfits. Binigyan din kami ni Lee kanina ng tig-iisang arm guard upang mas makontrol namin ng maayos ang kapangyarihan namin. Nararamdaman kong punong-puno ako ng mana energy. It's a bit disappointing that Josh didn't join us for breakfast, and he left a while ago.

"I won't lie, but I'm feeling afraid. The anxiety I've been experiencing since I woke up this morning is intense." Napatingin kami kay Wendy nang sinabi niya 'yon.

"That feeling you have isn't nervousness, it's excitement," Missy said.

"I know we all feel the same way - " Lee was about to continue when Missy interrupted.

"Oops, you mean, you two. As for me, I've never felt nervous." I chuckled at what she said.

"Let's just think of this as a regular training," Lee suggested.

"No matter how hard I try to convince myself, I can't stop thinking about the final evaluation. Can I just back out?" Wendy said with a chuckle.

"Stay calm, we can handle this," Lee said with a reassuring smile.
