Luminaria

Chapter 13

Skia

Sunod-sunod ang mabilis at ekspertong pagwasiwas ng lalaki sa hawak-hawak na kutsilyo. Sa kabila ng matinik nitong galaw ay hindi lumagpas sa aking pansin ang bahagyang pagbaba ng kaniyang tingin sa parte ng dibdib ko. This pig!

They didn't even let me change into a proper attire!

The length of my dress is actually long, with proper coverage underneath. But I prefer the standard uniform... obviously, everyone does!

The lights suddenly dimmed awhile ago, making me feel as if I'm alone with this lusty moron.

Dodging expertly, I was able to turn in a split second before striking my knife to him. Walang kahirap-hirap itong umiwas. Mabilis ang galaw ng aming sandata kasabay ng kalkuladong tugon at walang humpay na pag-ilag.

He countered every attack I made by attempting to distract me—forcing me to consider whether to target his balls or his eyeballs first—while he slashed his knife toward me. My feet glided smoothly across the floor as I moved. Iba-iba ang paraan ng kaniyang galaw dahilan upang hindi ko magawang basahin ang kahinaan nito.

"You have a seducing body. I like feisty women," mapaglaro nitong turan sa gitna ng mga atake. Napaatras ito matapos kong winasiwas ang kutsilyo sa kaniyang dibdib—which didn't even wound him. I clicked my tongue in irrtation.

"Too bad our meeting started this way... but you'll definitely stay in my head for a while. What should I do, huh?" malanding aniya, for only the two of us could hear.

"Then cut your head off and get a new one," habol-habol ang hininga kong sagot.

Imbis na mainis ay mas lalong lumapad ag ngisi ng lalaki.

"Oh! You hate me?" tila gulantang nitong tanong, hindi na humakbang para sa panibagong atake.

I sarcastically scoffed, smirking in mockery. "Is it really that difficult to figure the obvious?"

He chuckled. I mentally rolled my eyes in impatience, ngunit tahimik na lamang na inipon ang enerhiya.

"Whoa... I'm not used ladies disliking me," nakangising aniya. Sa kabila ng iritasyon, pilit kong ginawaran ng kalmanteng tingin ang mahanging lalaki.

"Trust me... it's easy not to."

Finally running out of patience, I charged at him.

I slid my body to the right, itinukod ko ang kanang paa upang mabalanse ang sarili. Then, I swiftly stepped behind him before slashing my knife at his back, ngunit mabilis itong bumaling sa salungat na gawi. He gripped my outstretched arms—surely intending to twist them—but I immediately folded my knee, assuming my signature fighting stance to target every man's weakness... their mighty manhood.

He gasped loudly, halos bumaluktot ang katawang napaatras. Hindi na ako nag-aksaya ng segundo at ginamit ang malayang kamay upang mabilis na saluin ang hawakan ng kutsilyong kaniyang nabitawan matapos ang pamimilipit sa sakit.

Smirking, I turned, ready to aim the knives I'm now holding, but when it was about to reach his neck, the weapon suddenly vanished.

"What in the..." hindi makapaniwala kong bulong.

"Now, it will be a duel without weapon," Grand Alvez's familiar oldy voice echoed somewhere.

Before I could process everything, a huge impact suddenly rammed into my body. Agad ang marahas na pagsalampak ng likuran ko sa matigas na pader. I groaned, a stream of curses escaping my lips.

Damn!

"That was easy," a feminine voice suddenly spoke.

Mula sa katiting na liwanag, namataan ko ang panibagong pigura. Why the fuck did that scumbag disappear? Did he just ran away to hide his cowardly butt? And now another bitch came into the view, damaging my back!
