A Thousand-Year Old Prophecy

37: Martial Arts Test

Finally!

Umalis na rin yung dalawa.

Nyssa would just hold on to their words na hindi nila sasabihin kahit kanino yung nangyari kanina. Lalo na si Jin.

Well, what could she possibly do?

Attack them?

Sinong niloko niya?

When she felt the powerful energy nga ni Jin kanina sa may secret alley, halos manginig ang kalamnan niya eh.

So ganun pala yung nararamdaman ng mga tao sa kanya noong nasa katawan niya pa siya.

Frightening...

Yet, exciting.

Naipilig na lang niya ang ulo niya saka mas umakyat pa sa mataas na bahagi ng puno.

Saka niya doon hinubad yung cloak niya at kinuha mula doon ang mga napanalunan niyang pera.

Yes.

The special cloak has a portion of void too gaya ng portal. Maru made this so she could keep items in there ng walang kahirap hirap.

Kaya rin walang nakuhang pera sa kanya yung mga goons kanina dahil doon niya itinago ang pera niya.

Anyway, she started counting her prizes.

After few days...

"Bakit hindi ka pa nagpapalista?" Tanong ni Zaki kay Nyssa habang sinusundan siya nito.

Nyssa rolled her eyes heavenward.

Eto na naman si Zaki. Lately, hindi siya nito tinatantanan kakatanong kung bakit hindi pa siya nagpapalista para sa pag-uwi sa Meng residence during their one week vacation.

They needed to enlist their names dahil may mga aatasan na tao ang Central Cloud School para masiguradong makakauwi sila. They couldn't use the portal kasi kapag ganito. Sa dami nila, baka bigla na lang magsara ang portal. Most especially lately na nag-aact up ito.

They still couldn't really figure out why. So they believed it was because of the new owner of the void's existence.

Kung alam lang nila...

Anyway, dahil nasa council na si Zaki and he could access that list kaya malamang ay nalaman nito na hindi pa siya nagpapalista.

"I am still busy."

"Edi sa akin ka na magpalista. I am giving you convenience now. All you have to do is sign your name in my tablet."

Nyssa stopped and suddenly faced Zaki.

The guy abruptly stopped too. Mabuti na lang or he would have bumped towards her.

"Ayoko nga. Magpapalista ako kung kelan ko gusto. So tantanan mo ako, okay?"

She was about to continue walking when Zaki grabbed her hand to stop her once again.

"Just tell me if you have another plan or what. You know I am just waiting for you kung uuwi ka ba o hindi."

Nyssa crossed her arms on her chest then raised an eyebrow at him.

"Wala ka bang sariling desisyon? Go home if you want to. You don't have to wait for mine."

Sabay alis niya.

Zaki didn't follow her anymore.

Somehow, though, Nyssa felt a bit troubled.

Indeed, she didn't like Zaki's too much meddling. Pero ayaw din naman niyang makaoffend kung saka sakali.

And since he didn't follow her anymore, she wondered...
