CHAPTER 29

  Vior's Point Of View

  "Are they okay now? Why are they still unconscious until now?"

  "I don't know, its been 2 days …"

  "How about Zenith?"

  "Still no news, I don't know what I'm going to do with her."

  I heard someone talking so I was stunned. When I opened my eyes, I saw Ms. Palm and Queen Genesis. We were in a familiar room, I tried to get up but I felt pain around my stomach and saw the others lying down as well.

  Wait, what are we doing here?

  Are we back at Warrior’s Academy yet?

  "It's good that you're awake, Uno," Ms. Palm noticed me.

  I looked around for Zenith but she wasn't there, we were already at Warrior's Academy, just the kind of light it was obvious.

  "Zenith?" I will ask.

  But I got no answer, they just looked at each other. My body still hurts. Tsk!

  "Are you feeling well?" concern of the dear queen.

  I nodded then tried to get up so they could go to Reme on the other bed. "Eh, how about them? Are they now okay?"

  "Yes, Tremendous and Jewel only got a little and then Widow just needed a break but when it came to Reme, we had a hard time healing him. He got many injuries and then his body fell badly."

  I don’t know with whom I would be angry with what I found out. I am not yet strong enough to save them all.

  "I know what you're thinking, Uno, it's not your fault. No one is to blame for what happened so don't blame yourself," I heard Ms. Palm.

  "You've also been unconscious for two days because of what happened and we still don't know where Zenith is," I wondered turning to them.

  "What do you mean? She's missing?" I asked, and then they nodded at the same time.

  “When the quarrel between Zenith and I ended she lost consciousness but she said something we didn’t understand, she said that she had lost on some sort kind of thing or bet after that we immediately brought you back here but on the night I checked on you Zenith was gone, she suddenly disappeared and until now we haven't seen her, do you have any idea where she can go? I know she won't go home because after what happened so make sure she's still here in the Academy," Ms. Palm said in length.

  I thought, where is she going?

  She's not close to any of us except for … Kindred! Maybe he knows.

  "We already asked every warrior's here if they saw Zenith but even her shadow was not there,

  including her opponent Mr. Rezilla," I was shocked by what the dear queen said. So, there really isn't any clue where she can be found?

  What is that! If it's not for me, it won't happen, if I could have been stronger maybe, I can save her.

  I went to face Ms. Palm and Queen Genesis. "Can I leave them here first? I will just look for Zenith, give me a day to do that and promise that I can bring her back here," I said politely.

  "No problem, Uno, most of all you're the only one I expect to do that besides Palm. You can leave now," Queen Genesis replied smoothly.

  I paid my respects to them first and then went out of the room.

  I hope to see her in the Forbidden City.

  When I arrived in the small town in the lower part of Warriors City, Manong Pilot’s store was immediately what I saw, I didn’t see any Zenith eating in front of it. Hayst!

  "Oh, Vior? Long time no see, how are you?" Manong greeted me when I got closer. "It's good, Manong Pilot … did Zenith been eat here lately?" direct combat just in case.

  He stopped cooking so that I could face him better. “Are you Zenith? Yeah, she just left earlier."

  "Really?! About a few minutes ago?" I snapped immediately.

  I also looked around, she hadn't gone far yet.

  "It only took about five minutes, I guess, I was paid again by a big obvious eh. For me, that woman, I can't refuse because it seems like something is wrong with her, is she lethargic. Why?" I immediately stood up.

  "Thank you very much, Manong. I'll come back to you later …" I insisted.

  "Oh gosh! No problem, just go ahead. Follow me so you don't catch up."

  After that I toured the area, I went to every store and check if Zenith was there or even just passed by but nothing.

  Where have you been Zenith?

  Damn. Will you show up oh …

  When I went around town, I felt hungry. Looks like I was really late and she was already gone. Hayst, I just decided to get back to Manong Pilot.

  It's exhausting … I haven't seen her face for a few days. Zenith

  I saw Manong Pilot's shop from afar and he had a costumer right away, I just couldn't recognize who it was because it turned its back on me but I noticed that Manong was happy here.

  "You're really young, do you really have a big intestine to come back here? You'll just eat but you're hungry again," I heard Manong say and then laughed out loud.

  "Because I was hanged earlier …" I was shocked to hear the costumer's voice.

  Why do I seem to know this one? I can't be wrong, her voice is familiar but it's impossible for her.

  When I got close to the back of it, I stood on the side but I could not see her face. "Manong Pilot …" I wondered at the tone of my call to him, am I embarrassed?

  Manong looked at me happily and greeted me again, "Oh, Uno! It's good that you came back right away because you might not be able to reach Zenith again."

  My eyes widened at what I heard and then stood in front of her to make sure it was her. Damn! What are you doing to yourself huh, Zenith?! I can't believe, she cut her hair and then changed her clothes.

  "Z-Zenith..."
