I did many investigations and took matters into my hand, and yet the identity of the big man behind my father's death remained a mystery.
"Master Hera." It startled me when Alona suddenly spoke behind me.
"What?" I uttered the words with emphasis and coldness. She took a deep breath before speaking again.
I strolled towards a side of the room where there was an enormous mirror covering one side. I gradually eliminated the barrette that was folded over my developing hair.
"It looks like you have to go to that university."
"Am I dumb, Alona? Do you believe I'm not so proficient as you?" I quit brushing my hair and gaze at Alona through the mirror. It appeared as though my words shocked her as she retires clumsily.
"Master-" She was about to speak when I cut her off.
"Do what you have to do." I mess my hair and leave the room.
Ever since I haven't dealt with anything properly, I could not help but sigh. My dad told me that never trust anyone except myself so I won't. I am an introvert, I know nothing of camaraderie or friendship. I trained to be the most powerful and badass woman to lead my father's mafia. Dad died inside a bandit area in China. But the police said that the case was suicide, how ironic right. I remember I was only 15 years old when it happened, and I was very angry because from the beginning I wasn't raised to be a fool by a lord master to believe in paid police. I hate them, I hate how society is unfair. You are useless if you have no power to spin the world, which pushed me to practice hard and find the murderer of my father. I will make him suffer and I will make him feel the pain he made me feel ten times over and over again.
My feet stroll toward the empty room of my dad. A sudden blow of wind brushed my skin, and presently I'm in tears as I stroll down the walkway holding my dad's Casing.
"Dad, I'll bring you justice, I promise, I won't let that bastard live. I miss you, Dad." My tears out of nowhere fall, my heart shudder and my toes became feeble.
I hug the frame and sob. But I won't just be seating here idly and crying.
A few days later, I'm now here at the university riding my big motorbike which I named Fuel.
Fuel is the last Christmas gift that dad gave me. I won't let anyone touch or ride my pepuboo fuel.
An enormous field should be visible within the preliminary. I immediately removed my cap and drew out the passcard given by Alona. Simply by having this pass card, one can naturally pass the preliminary. I moaned since this was a critical choice I was making.
"Fuel behave ka lang okay?" I smile at the big motorbike and start to walk through the door of the trial.
A big and Modern but elegant University, there is no doubt why it is called Elite University across the world. If you are one of the normal people you will be amazed and hypnotized by the gallantry of the place. Only high-level people in society can afford it. As someone with the power, you can immediately feel the magic that envelops the place.
"NAME." A big voice comes from the monitor.
"Hera Collins," I answered quickly. I was surrounded by mirrors so all I could see was myself staring back at me in all different directions. If I must say, it felt like some kind of distorted portal.
I took the card Alona had given me and showed it to the screen. After only a few seconds, a big black door opens up before me.
Isang napakaliwanag na sinag ng araw ang bumangad sa akin. Napakunot ako ng noo at sumingkit ang dalawa kong mata habang nakalagay ang kamay sa noo.
"What the hell?" bulaslas ko sa paglakas pa lalo ng liwanag habang may mga usok na lumalabas sa loob ng pinto.
"HERA COLLINS PASSED."
Hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili nang dahan-dahan akong humakbang patungo sa pinagmumulan ng liwanag. Napakatahimik ang paligid ko at tanging ang bawat yapak ko lamang ang naririnig ko.
Isang hakbang nalang.
I stopped first and took Fuel's mini-monitor access. I picked up Fuel using the gadgets Daddy made, it minimizes anything connected and automatically inserts the body of the big bike inside the mini-gadgets that can be pocketed and carried anywhere.
"Let's go, self."
I took a full breath in anticipation of the calvary I would confront. Since I realized it would not be that simple for me to go through.
I walked with my left foot first stepping into the door. And it was immediately followed by my right foot. Because of the silence, I became so conscious of every little move I make.
I wore a black cap, black face mask, white long sleeves together with formal woman attire, and a blue sock with the black shiny boots.
Gradually, the light fades. The environment changed and my eyes slowly adjusted with the change of the light's brightness. My eyes glaze over as I examine every part of this university, the shining diamond buildings, the floating magical stones, the clean and elegant facility with the crisp light coming from the glowing orbs on the walls. You will feel the power and magic that envelops this unique university. It caught my attention in a towering fountain, it emits crystal powers that provide magical energy throughout the place.
"Welcome." A tall, white, and expressionless man appeared as I was surrounded by people on campus.
Relax Hera, I know you must be the one making such an expression.
Inhale...
Exhale...
Taking a few deep breaths, the words of Alona came ringing back in my ears. "Master, remember that you are just an ordinary elite student. You are not Hera Xiu, you are Hera Collins. Keep that in mind. Never do anything that will reveal your true identity, or else our plan will be in vain." Those were her exact words.
"Uh... salam-" Magpapasalamat na sana ako ng-
*PAK*
I got a solid slap from this man.
A variety of sensations started to build up in my body. I slowly turned and stared blankly at the person in front of me and seeing his flawless expression, I frowned. I swallowed hard to try and contain the seemingly overflowing rage after receiving that hard slap. And his expressionless look and hypocrisy of daring to lay a hand on my smooth skin just compelled me even more to crush and kill him.
