145 Enemy?
(Tom’s PoV)
I was shocked to see I was out in the open air. It reminded of how I was in comma at that ti. I was floating, but the scenery around was different to the ones I used to see. When I was in comma, I was sent back to where I lived; I saw familiar sights. But, this was my first ti floating this high.
No, that’s not the point. I shook my head slightly and my gaze turned towards the grey cloaked man in front of .
I could barely see the dark mist emitted from his body because of the night sky, but I was sure it was there. Who was he, actually? Was he the one who ordered those shadows to kill people? But, why would he attack instead on focusing to his mission? Seeing that this person could float like , I was sure he could separate his spirit from his physical body as well, which ant... he was not an average person.
“Who are you?” I asked, shouting loudly as the sound of the plane’s machine was really loud.
He didn’t answer, but I could vaguely sense he was sneering at ! What the?!
“Are you related to those shadows just now?”
He shook his head lightly and I was... upset. Why wouldn’t he talk?
“Are you mute?” I shouted, feeling irritated.
.....
At this ti, the noise had travelled far enough to let us talk without shouting, but this damn unknown visitor still refused to open his mouth.
Calm down, Tom, calm down.
I took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly to ease the anger. Let him be mute if that was what he wanted. I should just return to my seat and the matter of him hitting out of nowhere... Just say I was unlucky to be bitten by dog.
After I managed to calm myself, I was prepared to go back to the plane, to where my body was before Uncle Ben realized I couldn’t wake up. However, before I moved, he started attacking again.
His claw reached out for , seemingly trying to grab a hold of . Good thing was I was nimble. Now that I could see his attack, I could dodge it easily by moving my body to the side. His claw went pass my neck and I could see his hand was fully covered with dark mist.
Totally evil! If his claw got my neck, I couldn’t imagine what would happen to .
He didn’t look happy that I evaded his attack as his other hand delivered another blow at .
Sorry, dude. You’re just too slow.
But, how co I couldn’t see his features even after he had moved towards . All I could see was pitch black darkness, as if there was no one wearing cloak. It was just ridiculous for .
Wait, do I really have ti to think about it?
“How dare you looking down upon ?!” Finally she talked.
Eh, she? I stared him... err, her with wide eyes. I was 100% sure that the one hiding under the big grey cloak was a man, turned out it was... a woman?
I really couldn’t control my expression as I kept dodging but my eyes kept looking at her -even though all I could see was darkness.
Probably looking at my expression, she exploded in fury as her attack was getting faster and faster. I could even sense killing intent in every attack she dealt at . The dark mist around her body thickened and she let out dangerous growl as she charged towards .
Seeing her attitude changed drastically, I hastily realized my mistake. “Sorry, I don’t an to look down on you.”
“Still daydreaming while fighting with and you said you didn’t look down upon ? Who you want to kid, hah?” She replied fiercely without slowing down her attack.
Ah, I’m in trouble, I thought.
“I want to rip your stupid face into pieces.” She growled again.
Ah, she must be talking about my stupid expression just now. It made sense if she felt angry because of that. After all, no one would want to be stared at, wide eyed nonetheless, with shock expression on their face.
She had every reason to get mad at , but hey, I had not even ntioned about how she attacked !
As I rembered the reason why I was exposed in this place, I changed my tactic from dodging to attacking. I needed to subdue her before I could interrogate her.
The fight didn’t last long and I finally managed to hit her on her back -not too hard since she was still a woman and the way she attacked in the plane before was not ant to harm . So, I was just returning the favor.
“Now tell , who are you? Why are you attacking ?”
She snorted. “I just wanted to test how strong my rival is before the second test starts.” She said, full of disdain.
Rival? Second test?
“Don’t tell ...” I pointed my finger in agitation towards her. “Do you also join the test to beco a General?”
“I do, so what?” She lifted her chin a bit, looking so proud and arrogant.
“Ah, and here I thought you are an enemy.” I let out a sigh of relief. “Since you passed the test, then it ans you’re strong. Good job!”
“Wipe your stupid grin from your stupid ass face!” She barked.
I was taken a back. This woman... Wasn’t she too hot-tempered?
“Just you wait! I won’t let you succeed! The General position is mine!” She yelled loudly before she turned around and disappeared.
I was just about to ask how she knew about joining the test, but she disappeared so quickly. Forget it.
I closed my eyes and concentrated to return to my body. I opened my eyes slightly as I heard Uncle Ben’s voice calling out my na. Apparently he had been trying to wake up for so ti, but I didn’t wake up. He was afraid that I would fall into comma again.
Why would I fall into comma when all I did was sitting down, anyway?
But, I didn’t say that to him. I only said so comforting words to him and told him that I was still sleepy. After that, Uncle Ben let sleep more.
Several hours later, the plane landed in Indonesia safely without any incident like before. Even though I saw one or two shadows passing by, I didn’t make a move.
But the journey didn’t end just like that. We still needed to continue the journey until several hours later. It was a long journey, yes, and really exhausting. If only my uncle didn’t rush us, I thought I could still...
Never mind. The one who was in a rush was . I really missed my sweetheart. Of course, I missed my mom, too. This ti, I was sure the first sentence I would tell my mother after exchanging greetings with her, probably so tears-including event, was...
Mom, I have a girlfriend. Please, help to marry her soon before that bastard takes her away from .
Imagine what expression my mother would make.
Never in million years I would have thought that at the sa ti as I safely landed in Indonesia and on my way to return ho to my mother, my baby girl was kissing soone else.
