Mafia 1: Badass Heiress (Under Revision/Editing)

Chapter 25

◽Being a Maiden◽

⭐Deathalé⭐

"For this session. You're going to execute your skills using different weapons. Long range and short range. " said by our teacher while he's leading the way papunta sa Skill development room dito sa Elites building.

Kami ni Pire ay nasa likod ng pila since sa pinakalikod kami nakaupo. Napapansin ko ang panaka nakang paglingon saakin ng mga kaklase namin na hindi ko lang sinisita.

"How about the new students Sir? They don't have a proper training using the weapons in the SD room" tanong ni Chloe na halata namang gusto kaming ipahiya

Why? Does she think that we don't know how to use those? Pssh, ang hindi nila alam, i personally chose those weapons dahil bukod sa quality nito, malakas rin ang impact nito.

"Don't worry Miss Jetkins, they are well  trained more than you expect." sagot ni Sir na ikinatahimik niya. Ano ka girl? Pahiya?

"Looks like may hater ka sa klase." bulong ni Pire na nasa likod ko.

"Kailan ba ako nawalan? Don't mind them. Ang pangit nila."

Pumantay sa tabi ko si Pire at inakbayan nanaman ako. Ang hilig niyang umakbay, pinagmumukha niya yatang maliit ako.

"You've change my little Tori. Epekto ba yan ng pagkakalantad ng pagkatao mo? Nagiging mabait?"

"Ako mabait? Haha, hindi naman masyado."

Nag-uusap lang kami ni Pire ng bigla nalang may umubo ng pilit.

"Ehem, bawal PDA, ehem.."

Napatingin kami kay Nigel na kunwaring hinahampas hampas ang dibdib niya. Nakatingin rin saamin ang iba. Nandito na pala kami sa tapat ng SDR.

Sa hindi sinasadyang pagkakataon, nagtama ang tingin namin ni Ravaneal. Naalala ko nanaman tuloy ang sinabi niya saakin kagabi. Sa kung paano ko nalaman na may heart problem pala ako.

"Pssh, aga-aga may malandi" sabi ni Samantha at obviously, kami ang pinaparinggan.

"Watch your mouth Samantha. Know your place." sabi sa kanya ni Ravaneal. Umirap nalang ito at nanahimik sa tabi.

"Stop your childish acts. You're all special elites and i expect more than what i'm seeing right now."

"Sorry Sir" paghingi nila ng paumanhin. Kami? Bakit kami hihingi ng sorry? Wala naman kaming kasalanan.

We silently enter the SD room. Tumambad samin ang malawak na espasyo na may iba't ibang weapon station. Archery, firing, dart, combat,and many more.

"Jeeez, these weapons are so cool." kumento ni Jamvi.

"Sa sobrang yaman ba naman ng may ari ng school nato. They can afford such weapons with high quality." said by Betani. See, i know them all.

"For today, uunahin niyo ang Archery. There are different levels in archery and all you have to do is to passed those levels. May kaakibat na points ang bawat level. Bawat shot, ay mag uumpisa sa malapit hanggang sa pinaka malayo. Target the bulls eye para perfect 100 kayo sa activity nato. Okay, fall in line and be ready."

Archery is one of my forte. That's my favorite station when we're playing in the mansion. Sometimes I also use bow and arrow in assassinating someone.

There are 5 levels in archery. 5 m,10,20,30 and 60 meters away from the target point. Ang scores naman ay 10 sa bulls eye and below.

We line up and wait for our turn. Hindi ako interesado sa makukuha nilang score at isa pa makikita naman sa wide screen na nakalagay sa taas ang score ng current player.

1. Victoria Deathalé Maiden

2. Andree Ravaneal Knight - 49

3. Nigel Castellan -48

4. Grover Elliot -48

5. Samantha Collins -43

6. Jamvi Gustav -42

7. Chloe Jetkins -41

8. Aidan Smith -40

9. Naomi Morgan -40

10. Betani Reyle -40

11. Pire Wesley -49

The list was according to the rank of the family. Wala pa akong score dahil ako ang huling susubok.

"Pssh she's just nothing"

"Spoiled brat siguro."

The witches murmured—Chloe and Samantha.

Kinuha ko ang pinakamalakas na bow sa bow section. Different levels din kasi ang lakas ng mga bows, at yung ginamit nila kanina ay average lang.

"You can do it Death!!" pag cheer sakin ni Nigel. I forgot that i hated the three dahil sa nangyari sa cafeteria. Nginitian ko siya at pumunta sa pwesto ko. I stretched the bow, kung di ka sanay, mahihirapan ka dito pero kapag sanay kana, it is just easy as pie.

Bulls eye—bulls eye—bulls eye—bulls eye...

Sa last level, medyo malayo na siya but i manage to hit the middle. So I got 50 multiplied by two—100.

"As i expect from Miss Maiden. So before this session end, dapat masubukan niyo rin ang iba pang stations dito pero dahil kulang sa oras, itutuloy natin next meeting. Gusto ko lang malaman niyo na ayoko ng ugaling ipinapakita niyo Miss Collins and Jetkins."

"Ano naman sayo? You're just a teacher. We can do everything para ipatanggal ka sa trabaho." sabi ni Samantha habang naka cross arms siya.

"Sorry to say but you can't. The only person that can fire me is my boss, which is the Maiden's. They own this school if you don't know, they hired us all teachers, we are their assassins and reapers. Kaya kapag inutos saamin ni Miss Maiden na patayin kayong dalawa, walang alinlangan namin iyong susundin."

Napatingin sila sakin na bore na bore silang tinitignan. Hindi ko naman kailangang iutos yun. Kaya ko namang gawin iyon ng mag-isa.

Natapos ang ilang klase and finally, break time na. Makakakain na ako.

Pagpasok namin sa cafeteria, all eyes on us. Hindi na bago saakin ang ganyan pero iba kasi ngayon. Iniba ko narin ang expression ko. Seryoso akong naglakad sa gitna, with Pire at my back. They were scared of me, some are looking at them in confusion, sila siguro ang mga hindi naka attend sa party ko.

Lahat ng nasa counter ay nagsialisan at pinauna kami. Hindi kami nagtagal sa counter dahil alam naman na nila ang usual order ko at ni Pire. Pinili namin ni Pire na maupo sa pinakagilid, yung pang dalawahan lang talaga. Ayoko kasi ng may nakiki table saamin na hindi ko naman close.

"You don't have to act like that. Be yourself."

Bumuntong hininga ako at binitawan ang fierce look ko. Nakakapagod pala magpanggap.

"I don't want to, pero i need to. Alam na nilang lahat na Maiden ako, ayoko namang isipin nilang basta basta lang ako."

"Hindi ka lang basta basta Tori. Your Surename is enough para katakutan ka nila but the thing is, do you have to change yourself at palabasing nakakatakot ka or you will just prove yourself without changing the real you?"

Hindi ko siya maintindihan. Pero parang may namumuo sa utak ko na idea tungkol sa sinabi niya.

"Come'on Tori. Hindi mo kailangang magbago para may mapatunayan ka, at isa pa ulit, you're not born to prove them something. You're not born to pleased them."

He's right. I am what I am, i don't have to be the person that I'm not. Because being a Maiden doesn't mean to looks like scary, it doesn't mean to be ruthless. Being a Maiden means to be kind but smart. That's what our family is. Being kind but still dangerous when you messed up with.
