SUE.

We just finished our training. Master Garet just left together with Mr. Jackson, our real trainer, and even though he's back in Demigods Academy, Mr. Jackson is still on the leave. So, Master Garet is still the one training us.

Serena is absent, she's attending Celine's coronation in the Cerulean Kingdom. She said that every princess must attend special events that involve other princesses.

I was busy playing with my whip. We are inside our classroom because Master Garet reminded us that we are not allowed to leave the room even though the training is over.

"WHAT THE STYX!" Aizelle shouted.

Lahat kami ng atensyon namin ay napunta sa kanya. She's standing in the middle of the room, looking so nervous; droplets of sweat were forming on her temple, she even looks so disoriented and her eyes were giving as a hint that something is wrong with her.

She's about to open the door when Aizen stopped her, "We are not allowed to leave this room,"

Aizelle suddenly scowled which made Aizen flinched, "It's none of your business,"

But before she could open the door I used my body to block her way. She's glaring at me. I was pursing my lips. I sealed my lips for days, and I think it is now that right time to question her.

"Move, Sue." Her voice was threatening but I didn't budge to move.

"Tell me, Aizelle. Are you going to your boss?" I asked.

She stared at me with her brooding eyes, "I said, move."

"I heard you. You're giving information to someone. I don't want to think that you're a tra—"

"I'm going to leave." She interrupted. She forcefully pushes me out of the way. But Light pulled her arm, "Are you a traitor?" Light asked with a strained voice.

Aizelle turned to Light and looked at his eyes. Her eyes look hurt. "So, what if I am? What are you going to do?"

"AIZELLE, I NEED YOUR HELP! SHE'S GOING TO KILL ME."

The black badge from Aizelle's collar got our attention. It was the voice of a woman. Aizelle's eyes widened but she used the chance to pushed Light away from her and run away. All of a sudden an Echidna appeared in our front.

Aizelle, why are you doing this?

"PUMIKIT KAYO!" I shouted.

Men are weak against an Echidna. She's a monstrous monster; half-woman and half-snake. She's also known as the mother of all monsters, she gave birth to most vicious monsters living in the Divine Continent.

She has the head of a beautiful woman with long hair, and a serpent's body from the neck down. Her beautiful face can hypnotize men and her poisonous fangs can kill an instant.

"Ready to die? Ssssss!" The Echidna hissed.

"Kaya mo ba, Sue?" I heard Phoenix asked. I grumpily looked at the Echidna and pushed the button at the side of the cylindrical holder of the whip. The thong appeared along with the thunder circulating on it.

"Daughter of Zeusssss!" She hissed. I looked up and saw a pressure rod near the ceiling. I tangled my whip in there and soar the air by hanging like a freakin' monkey.

The weaklings were still closing their eyes. I kicked the Echidna's face and untangled the whip. She was wincing and harassingly rubbing her face.

Suddenly her piercing steel eyes were angrily looked at me. She was slowly transforming. Her green scales were slowly turning into black when suddenly Phoenix slit her throat. "Holy Styx..." I mumbled.

"At talagang gusto mo pang mag-transform 'yon bago mo patayin," Sky bluntly said in my face. I sheepishly looked at him. Damn, I was mesmerized by her transformation.

I was about to defend myself when another wave of monsters came. A Geryon and a Cyclops appeared in front. I bit my lower lip.

Saan sila nanggagaling?

They summoned their swords. "Sue, come with me." Light commanded when he pulled me. The other three moved in front.

"Aizen, you might want to show your blessing," Phoenix joked.

Aizen softly laughed and mockingly shrugged his shoulder, "I can eliminate them without using it," I'm actually curious about his blessing. I want to see it.

Both the Cyclops and the Geryon roared. The Cyclops tightly hold his spikey club and attack towards Sky's direction. I pursed my eyes when I felt a pang on my chest. "Just like I thought, you're tired." Light mumbled.

"How did—"

"I have a brain," He said. I squinted my eyes on him while he was busy watching the trio. "Don't lose your faith in Aizelle. I know she's not our enemy."

"But who is she talking to?"

"I don't know. But I trust Aizelle." He mumbled. He let go of my arm and I looked at the three who were fighting the two monsters.

"Someone is stalling time," I stated.

Sky swiftly jumped out of the Geryon's view, Phoenix circulated some of his blessings to his sword making it shine like a scorching sun. Aizen was fighting the Cyclops alone when Sky slid his sword into its wrist. The Cyclops screeches and spout blood from its mouth.

Phoenix plunged his sword to the bare stomach of the Geryon. I can feel the pain just by watching the Geryon screams as he slowly back-off. The Geryon's eyes were looking to Phoenix's amber eyes who was now burning with anger as it looks towards the monstrous monster.

"Want to help them?" Light asked. I nodded.

To be honest, I'm already tired. I doubled my training unlike them and I can feel that any moment from now my magic energy will be drained. I concentrated my magic energy as well as Light, we were watching the other guys that were fighting.

The room started to shake. From the small books up to the chairs began to float. Light's blessing is making me feel nauseated, it was menacing and cunning. Ganito na ang pakiramdam ko kay Light. Paano pa kaya ang kay Sky kung seryoso siya?

Sky and Aizen glance in our direction. And when the thunder shurikens that I made appeared in the room, the three of them taunts the two monsters and brought them in the middle. "Wait," I whispered weakly.

I don't know if my thunder shuriken can finish them. Aizen thrust his sword toward the eye of the Cyclops. It blinded the Cyclops and fall on his knees because of the endless vibration of the ground.

I rolled my eyes when I saw Phoenix and Sky bumping fist. These cocky royals. Both of them rapidly went to each opposites direction. Their swords gleamed as they cut through the Geryon's arms. The left arm was slowly melting while the arm was parted to the body with blood overflowing on it.

I released my thunder shuriken that made their eyes widened when they dodged it, "Parang gago naman si Sue," I heard Aizen exclaimed.

"I'm sorry. I needed to release—"

"Kung natatae ka 'wag mo kaming idamay." Aizen hissed.

"What?"

"What?" He asked. Tangina, ang gulo kausap.

"Your joke is irrelevant, Aizen." Light bluntly said. The Geryon and the Cyclops turned into ashes that were blown by the wind on the window that was left open. "We need to hurry," he said. Nauna na lumabas si Light at mabilis naman na sumunod si Sky.

Aizen gave us first a smirk before leaving the room. I heaved a sigh. I'm already tired but I need to know what is Aizelle up to. I'm her friend for years, she's simply hurting us with her inscrutable actions.

"Sue," Phoenix called. He handed me a vial, it somehow replenishes my magic energy. "Are you mad at me?" He asked. I was caught off guard when he pinned me to a wall.

"Hey... I'm not," I whispered nervously. His perfect amber eyes were staring at mine. It was lacking its usual gleam, he was wearing the same eyes when he first came here. Those downcasted eyes.

"Sue, kilala kita. Hindi ako tanga, please tell—"

"I'm not mad at you. I'm just hurt." I answered truthfully. I avoided his eyes.

"I'm sorry—"

"Don't be," I smiled. I removed his hand at my side and slowly turned my back to him, "I will be okay soon,"

"Sue, I'm sorry."

I look behind and gave him a sad smile, "I was just hurt, Phoenix. I was hurt by the man I admired the most." I said. I run away from him and followed the other three.

"Why are you crying?" Sky asked. I shook my head and he suddenly ruffled my hair, "You just need space, shrimp."

"Sumbong kita sa tatay ko. Sinasabihan mo akong pandak." I mumbled.

"Oh, Phoenix! HB ka?" I heard Aizen laughed behind us. Pinigilan ako ni Sky sa paglingon sa likod. Napataas naman ang aking kilay dahil mabilis na lumapit sa amin si Light habang hinihingal siya.

"Lumipat ang portal sa CR." Light said.

"What do you mean?" Sky asked.

"Yung portal sa Belster nasa CR." Light explained.

"So, let's go?" Phoenix asked.

We followed Light who was leading the way and immediately stopped in front of the ladies' comfort room. "Let me calm my nerves. 'Di pa ako ready makarinig ng roar ni Master Garet." Aizen asked.

"I'm going no matter what the consequence is." Sky said.

"Ditto," Light mumbled.

"I'm going as well."

"Me too," Phoenix said. We were about to open the door when Aizen pulled us,"WAIT!"

"Kung ayaw mong sumama edi 'wag. Pero huwag mo kaming pigilan." Phoenix hissed.

Aizen suddenly slapped Phoenix's forehead and beamed at him,"Mga bobo ampota. Sasama naman ako pero sana respeto lang malay niyo may nagbabanyo pa d'yan masabihan pa tayong manya—"

"Shut up. I'll go first para makita ko kung may tao ba sa loob." I leered. He gave me a thumbs up and I grimaced at him. Isa-isa kong binuksan ang mga cubicle upang malaman kung may tao o wala.

In the last cubicle, there was a portal. I called them to announce that there weren't any girls using the comfort room that made Aizen felt relief.

"No turning back, Primus."
