Seventh Agent (Tantei High)

"C'mon, move guys. The big fish won't catch itself"

Adams! We screamed as we scatter all over the place. Kailangan ko na silang mahuli, and for that I need my brain. Hindi ko nga alam if hindi pa nabubulok yung brain ko inside my skull kasi I'm not really fond of using it.

I'm not gifted with such intelligence.

Mind games. Dito ako palaging pumapalpak, and I easily get bored. Minsan nga I would just sit under a tree and let my dreams take me to heaven. Gusto kong bumaril! But hindi pwede dito kasi we need to catch something and bring it back to the agency.

Currently, I'm on the lead for being a reaper. I'm really into using guns. I think I'm more fond of using guns than my brain which is connected to my body by veins, arteries and such.

Don't get me wrong. I know maths, science, english, chemistry and all the subjects you can trhink of. But, I'm not good at 'common sense'. Obviously, hindi ko kayang mag-handle ng sarcasm. In other words, slow ako.

Pero, I, myself is good at being sarcastic but can't tell whether people are sarcastic or not.

And, hindi ko ginagamit yung isip ko when it comes to bloodlust. Gagawa nalang ako ng kilos that I either regret or not. Predictable, ika nga nila. But yeah, I can throw an arrow aimlessly, still, I'll hit the bullseye.

"Snipers, distract. Repears, catch" sabi ng clan leader namin.

This is it, the battle. Kung sino ang unang makahuli at madala ito sa agency will be the winner. I've got to use my brain now, hindi ko palalampasin ito. One more win, I'll get the mission for a lifetime.

Then, bigla kong nakita yung sanga. Mineasure ko yung length ng vine sa sanga doon sa objective ko. And it's possible if I extract force when doing it. Easy as a pie, as they say.

Ohmygod, I'm finally using my brain! Hindi na ako padalos-dalos. I hope hindi lang ngayon ito. And, I've just proved my theory na magagamit mo ang Maths and science in your freaking daily life.

Agad-agad akong tumakbo when I heard the sound of the gun. Na-distract nga yung mga tao dahil tumingin sila sa direction kung saan wala kami. Nice job, snipers.

Sumabit ako sa sanga and swung my way to where those people with weapons are. The other reapers didn't saw my tactic. They're busy finding a spot for them to attack.

I waited hanggang sa nakarating na ako sa pwesto ko, the exact position kung saan ko iha-handcuffs yung nga kamay nila sa sanga. In just a swift movement, shinot ko yung arrows ko sa mga laylayan ng ddamit nila and they weree trapped in the tree. I took the chance to handcuff them.

"Ano ba yan! Si Lurixia nanaman" a man complained.

"Try hard next time, dude" I said at tumango. They're not irritated, para ngang bilib pa sila sa akin. They should be, duh.

Nagoatulong ako kay Zach, ang clan master namin, to bring them back at the agency. Habang nakasakay sa kotse ng mga reapers, I started getting curious about this mission.

I hope I won't regret winning this.

"Lurixia Adams won again, oh that's new" he teased.

"That's not even new! I've won many more times than you shaving your ugly moustache" I shot back.

Kung ako slow, my brother is the opposite. Mas marunong siya sa kalokohan kesa sa actual education. Pfft, bagsak grades nyan. Dahil alam nyang I can't handle sarcasm palagi niyang ginagawa sa akin iyon.
