Friday morning finally came. They went to the academy at nine in the morning. After Nathanya finished preparing herself, she tucked the golden dagger given to her by Taylor. Ever since Taylor gave it to her, it never left her side even a second. The golden dagger had an engraved name in it and it read “Sharp Blade”. “The old man said he has something he wants us to work on.” Briana said on the way to the academy. Taylor just rolled her eyes and focused on driving. “Is the fee for our previous work already transferred to our account?” Taylor asked. “Yeah. It has been in our account since we reported to him last week.” Briana said. Taylor nodded and didn’t ask more. They arrived at the academy without anyone talking much. The moment they got out of the car, what greeted them were Drake and Trix, quarrelling. “Will you at least stay five kilometers away from me? You’ve been pestering me for days now Mr. Tan just for your information.” Drake demanded and tried shoving Trix away. The moment they saw the ice cold reaction on Taylor’s face who was watching them, they stopped. They greeted her good morning but she just nodded and walked ahead of them. “Is she in a bad mood?” Drake asked. “If you wanna know, why not ask her?” Lace answered her. “Aiyah. Don’t mind her. Let me ask you something. Are you two dating?” Briana, the great shipper, asked. Drake blushed and poked Trix using his elbow. “So you’re dating?! My Goodness!! Congrats!!” Briana and Lace exclaimed at the same time and hugged the both of them. Taylor heard everything so she stopped walking and turned towards them. “So you finally confessed?” Taylor asked Trix and the latter nodded. “Wait? So you are aware of Kuya Trix’s feelings for Kuya Drake? Since when?” Nathanya asked. “Since the beginning. It just happened that I was talking to the old man when Trix suddenly came in and asked if he could be under Drake’s unit. But the bitter old man didn’t allow him and told him he was meant to be a leader.” she answered and then faced the couple. “I am happy for both of you.” she added. “Can you at least make it more realistic and convincing? You are telling them that you are happy for them while wearing that ice cold mask? Come on smile.” Nathanya said then walked towards Taylor, touched her face and tried lifting up the corners of her mouth. The four other people were dumbfounded and silently prayed for Taylor’s mercy. But to their surprise, Taylor didn’t chop off Nathanya’s hands. Instead, she grabbed them and put them down slowly. “I know how to smile. You don’t have to manually teach me.” she said then walked again. Nathanya kept following her, asking her to smile. She’s even demonstrating it. “Now, shall we make a bet?” Briana asked the three. Lace just shook her head and followed Taylor and Nathanya. Drake and Trix excused themselves since they got their own units to manage so Briana quickly ran after Lace. “I need to call Callix.” Briana said and dialed Callix’s number on her phone. “Hello Callix Reign? Deposit the five million in my bank account now. I won HAHA.’'she said then hung up. On their way to their den, they met Claude. “Hello good morning.” he greeted them. Claude is a handsome guy but his eyes are always sad although he’s cheerful. “Good morning Kuya Claude.” Nathanya greeted him back. Briana and Lace followed suit but Taylor didn’t give a damn. “Good thing I ran into you today. Mr. Demethry said that the supplies everybody requested have come. You can get yours later.” he said. “We didn’t request anything.” Taylor answered. Claude scratched his head. “But I clearly saw two packages for…” he was not able to finish when Nathanya butted in. “You must have seen it wrong, Kuya Claude. It must be for Blakes.” she said and convinced Claude. “Oh. yeah maybe I’ve seen it wrong HAHA. I'll go ahead.” he said and started walking away. “Ate Venice, can I go pick some flowers over there?” Nathanya asked when they were almost near their den. Taylor looked over the area she’s pointing and saw the blooming flowers there. Seeing that it doesn’t belong to anyone’s unit, she let her do so. “Just don’t run around restricted areas.” she reminded her and the three of them entered their den. After hearing the permission, Nathanya quickly ran to the supplies room to retrieve the package. She originally asked for one package so she was shocked that there are two packages for Blade. She was almost there when a group of ladies suddenly surrounded her. “What are you running about little fella?” a lady wearing a face mask asked. “I was on… my way to the supplies room.” Nathanya answered. “Oh.” another lady said and pushed Nathanya, causing the latter to fall down to the ground. “Stay for a while and play with us. How about we play, you run, we shoot? That will be fun!’’ she said and grabbed Nathanya using her collar. “ Now run!” she ordered but Nathanya didn’t move. She was trembling because of fear. “Didn’t you hear her? She told you to run!” the lady wearing a face mask shouted. She was about to give her a slap when Nathanya suddenly pulled out something and stabbed her palm that was about to strike her. The lady groaned in pain but surprisingly, the lady that was grabbing Nathanya by the collar removed her grip on her. The lady in the mask was now crying because of pain and blood continued flowing out of her palm. Nathanya stood there like a statue, not moving even a single inch. She was trembling. When the lady wearing a mask noticed that no one from her friends was moving to get revenge for her, she shouted. “Why are you all just standing on your places like chess pieces?! Haven’t you seen what she did to me?! Go grab her and give her the beating she deserves!” she shouted but nobody moved. “What are you all doing?!” she yelled again and this time, a slap landed on her face and another landed on her mouth. “Shut up idiot! Can’t you recognize the dagger she just used to stab you?!” the lady that grabbed Nathanya earlier asked. “It’s… it’s the golden dag… dagger? What does this mean?” she asked and another slap was given to her. “It means that the Sharp Blade owns her. You almost sent us to our death! Go grab her!” the lady ordered and the others surrounded the lady with a mask, grabbed her then took her away. “We’re sorry. Please just let this matter slide and don’t tell Sharp Blade about this.” the lady asked before turning away and walked away from her. Nathanya was confused. The golden dagger was named Sharp Blade. Does it mean that they are afraid of that dagger?
