Her Eternity

[Chapter 38: Onyx Strikes]

*Ryderick's Point of View

"DARN! JESUS!"

Halos mapagulong naman ako sa sahig nang muntikan na akong matamaan ng lumilipad na combat knife nang balak ko sanang umatake para sa training na ginagawa namin.

I almost couldn't catch my breath as I eventually found myself lying down. Pero agad naman din naman akong napabangon nang may maramdaman akong paparating sa akin.

I hissed as I quickly return into my battle state.

"Too slow!"I can't help but to immediately frown and mentally rolled my eyes the moment I heard what Zace said.

Pinanuod ko siya kung paano niya pinaglalaruan yung combat knife na hawak-hawak niya, habang diretso siyang nakatingin sa akin at parang naghihintay kung anong dapat niyang gawin para matamaan ako.

"Hindi ako si Flash, Za—"I grunted as I felt a pain strike on my neck.

"Like I said, too slow."I immediately turn around when I sensed Zace behind me.

Halos mapaluhod naman ako nang maramdaman kong gumagapang yung sakit sa leeg ko na naging dahilan para mapaimpit ako ng sigaw. Fuck.

I think it's a really bad idea joking around when your mentor is unfortunately named Zackyro Caldwell.

Sa lahat ba naman kasi ng pwede kong makalaban para sa training, bakit yung tao pang kulang nalang ay patayin ang ka-partner niya?

I mentally rolled my eyes as I thought of it.

"Go, brother! Maghahanda na ako ng puting barong para sa lamay mo!"

I almost lost my nerve the moment I heard Levi's words, which eventually gave me some urge to get up from the floor.

"Should I be grateful for that?!"I sarcastically took a quick glance towards where they are and saw how they casually enjoy how Zace is going to kill me.

Jesus Christ, help me.

"You should be! Mahal magpatahi ng barong 'no!"Oh my freaking thorns. Why the hell am I seeing myself to him?

Wala naman na akong ibang sinabi kundi mapaismid nalang sa sinabi niya na ikinangisi naman nilang dalawa ni Vann habang prente silang nakaupo at patuloy akong pinapanuod.

Axe and Hue on their sides are both shaking their heads in an unbelievably manner as they find the situation, very amusing.

"Focus, Rye."

Bumalik naman ulit ang atensyon ko kay Zace nang marinig ko ang sinabi niya. I silently hissed once more and tried to think on how am I going to have the chance to give him some hit, even just single scar.

Halos pawis na pawis na ako habang siya naman ay todo kung paano magmukhang fresh sa training namin.

I sighed.

I tried having an eye contact with him and change directions while still thinking how am I supposed to beat him.

"Ack!"Napaluhod naman ako nang bigla niyang tamaan yung vitals ko. Halos mapaimpit na naman ako ng sigaw at mapaluhod sa sahig.

Hindi ko naman din napigilan na mapahawak sa ulo ko dahil nakakaramdam na agad ako ng hilo. My visions started to get blurry when that happened.

How come this guy knew how to paralyzed someone? Wait, paralyzed?

"Zace, it's Aphrodite."I gradually pointed out towards behind him, which he eventually followed.
