"She's mine." He repeated what he said but was now as clear as water that registered in my ears.
Everyone is still gathering what he was saying and so do I. "What." She was amazed yet sarcastic. "This can't be real." She continued. Yes, the filthy bitch.
Everyone in the crowd was on us. "Shut your mouth, Shane." Lio stopped the girl from blabbering and she obeyed.
She rolled her eyes. "Psh. Let's go." Her last word before she dragged her friend. Only us left and so as the crowd but they are decreasing gently as the scenario is getting uninterested...
"What do you mean?" Lica interfered as she was confused while asking Lio and that Seraphim guy. Yes, I still don't know his name.
"You aren't informed about the announcement, do you?" He replied the top 1 Seraphim.
Lica just wrinkled as she was facing him with no idea. "You mean, later?" She then asked again but the Seraphim guy just nodded. "There is nothing unusual about it." She added.
"The committee decided to return the Lâ Servitorē um Magnúm Law." Lio can't hold it anymore so he just spilled it tho I have no idea about that thing that made me more confused. Even a tiny piece 'bout it I still do not know. But what got me was Lica's reaction after she heard it from Lio. What's with that word?
"S-so you are here to convince her?" She pointed me and there I was, dumbfounded. Convince me? For what?
"You're right." The Seraphim guy straightly talked and was proud.
"Oh my gosh. So you are going to make her as your serv---."
"Only if I allow her." Daryll just interfered from afar. The three of them had no idea who was that guy is so they threw unidentified looks towards him. I just let my attention to him unwillingly. He gently heading in my direction and immediately grabbed my hand.
When he finally reached my hand, I took a glance between Lio and that Seraphim guy. Lio was confused as if he was no idea.
That Seraphim just smirked. "And who are you?" He filthy asked Daryll.
"Don't need to know. It'll be useless if I say so." Daryll is serious just based on his tone. "Let's go." He demanded and grabbed me to get ourselves out of that place.
He took the way towards the gym and I just let him grabbed me out of nowhere. There is an announcement like those three said. When I was so done dragging, I grabbed my hands off him and stopped for a bit. He also did the same and waiting for me to make a move.
I just made a face. "What?" He finally reacted when he noticed my attitude right now.
"I know, you already know this announcement thingy," I said while my head went tilted half of an acute angle. He hanged but reacted quickly.
"'Bout the Lâ Servitorē um Magnúm?" He asked.
"So, you knew?" I also asked. He filthy raised his right eyebrow while looking at me. Well, I got used to it. He can be a bitch as girls but as soft as sponge cake.
He crossed his arms. "Of course I do." He shortly replied. "Don't you remember? I was from Seraphim Class, right? That's why I knew." He added.
There I knew he was also from Seraphim but what he meant a while when talking to that Seraphim guy. If only if he allowed me to. Allow me from what?
He cursed. "And I don't want what will be going to happen later." It was not loud but I heard what he said tho I do not know what it meant. Am this so idiot to the point I don't know what's happening? Well, I am just Rica who used to be an introvert and has no interest in her surroundings.
He started to walk and so I since I still don't have any idea. But there is something from what he was talking and I can feel it. I just let it slide and withdraw it from my mind.
We aren't there yet but we are already hearing noises from the inside of the gym. There are still some who are on their way inside and so do we. When finally made ourselves in there are a lot of students occupied almost the gymnasium. It is an amazing view how different classes blended with different colors of their uniform that made it refreshing to the eye. For the past years of having here, this is the only day I witnessed unity from each class but still, there is the sort thingy.
When we already arrived, we immediately look for class Principality and sat there. James is the one who's in charge of our class since he was the class president and obliged to do so. We are in between Class Powers and Class Archangel.
A minute later, the microphone went into a loud sound as a sign of usage wherein the emcee will be out sooner. Not a minute ago, a member of the committee came out and began to introduce herself and became the emcee. She was the head of the committee by the way.
In front, class Seraphim was appointed to sit there and in front of them are Cherubims and on the side of Cherubim, the Thrones also sat there. On their posture, you can already distinguish that they are the top classes in this institution. From their looks and aura, they are known to be riches and geniuses. There, you can also see how they manage to look like they are elites and undefeated. Well, just most of them are valid of course.
Everyone from the three classes was in their state of silence while in the lower classes, everyone seems like they are at war. "Silence!" The head began to speak as she was about everyone who is in the lower classes and I belong there. "I know you knew already why you're gathered here." She added.
Everyone finally went into silence and seems like everything is vague. "The whole Committee and even the headmistress of this school signed and agreed 'bout the said law. It was implemented thirty years ago and stopped after a decade. The Committee decided to bring it back once again." She added. The gym covered by noise and whispers as they were talking to the said Law yet some are still know nothing.
Since it was also new to me, I'm clueless. Everyone refrain from talking when the head talked again. "This law was created to assure our new geniuses in this institution. Not only the superiors who can get a benefit but also those who are luckily chosen to be part of it." She was full of authority indeed just based on the tone of her voice.
I heard someone behind me let out a deep sighed and realized that it was Daryll. Judging from his expression, no interest can be seen, and will never get his self interested in such laws. I just let it slide as I draw my attention in front.
"I know that some of you still don't know what is but let me allow you to introduce the said law." I felt my nerves crumpled as I made myself ready for what will I be going to hear. This something is bothering me with this Law.
"The Lâ Servitorē um Magnúm is a law where there are chosen students from the lowest three classes which is the Angel, Archangel, and Principality who will take the position as a Servitorē." Again, the gym filled with noise once again as they heard the Law itself.
I felt uncomfortable as I heard those. The chosen Servitorē will be coming from the three lowest classes and not mention, I was one of those. The worst is, I have this strange feeling that I'll be picked.
I started to do my prayer chant and becoming nervous. Daryll just cursed as he was not convinced by this Law, unwanted Law.
Judging from the word Servitorē itself, I am starting to doubt if I was formulating questions in my mind. From the word itself, Servitorē or servant. Like hell, why do they have to bring such a law since we just came here to study and get a diploma but why do they have to make us servants and worst, like maids. The hell! Just an injustice Law.
"Yes students, Servitorē. But it doesn't mean you'll going to be a servant. You only need to be with your superiors and be an assistant. And one thing for sure, you'll be chased out from your dorms and move where your superiors are. You'll be having a comfortable abode." She tried to calm students yet there are still some who are not convinced.
"If that so, who are we going to serve?" A student from Archangel stood up and began to ask. Everyone went their attention to him yet the student who stood up remains. There is no fright from his posture that can be seen.
"The chosen students from the three highest classes of this institution. Those students who always excel in their classes." She answered. The guy sat as he was satisfied with what he got. Brave enough isn't he?
"Now, let me call these students who are always at the top. We have three students from Class Seraphim, two students from Class Cherubim, and one student from Class Thrones." The gym once again went into noise as the students started talking again.
Some are not interested yet most of them are worried especially those who belong to the three lowest ranks. And a bit when it comes to me.
"Let's call on to the Three Seraphim students. Ella Shane Torillo. Domenick Lio Guimbal and Niklaus Macarius Go." The head finally introduced the first three top and a chance to become superior of their chosen Servitorē. The three who were called stood up and started to walk up to the stage. I was not surprised at all. The whole Seraphim class clapped as if they are proud of their tops.
But the Top 1 caught me. So, Macarius huh? The Seraphim guy.
"To the two Cherubim, Lica Agnie Torillo and Chris Berham Villavicencio." Class Cherubim cheered for them as they are walking towards the stage. I did not know that Lica was also one of the top students here so I'm a bit surprised.
"The one from Thrones is Lincoln Mendez." The thrones applaud as his name was mentioned. One of the guys from Thrones started to walk but you can't decide if he was just a mere student. He isn't just the campus ordinary crush yet he has the indescribable look. He is the kind of guy who will just rob your heart without permission. There are a lot of girls who are screaming for him tho not for me.
"These students are the Big five of this institution and never been on the last. Let's give them a round of applause." The noiseless started to cover the gym as the final superpower was completed. But we, from the three lowest ranks, were starting to feel nervous since any moment anyone from us will be their servant. Everyone from us can't make any noise.
Someone went upstage and started to give the paper to every superior upstage. "Write on the paper who will be your Servitorē." The head commanded when each of them has their own.
Lio and Mac wrote as fast as lightning and the rest are just so calm and fine writing who will be there Servitorē. I can hear every stroke of their pen writing on the paper and it seems like a burden that made my breathing not so fine. Lio was the first one to finish and followed by Mac while some of them are looking in our direction making their minds who will they pick. Lica was the third one who finished but when she got herself the chance to look at me, she gave me chills on her smirk...no, it is her smile.
'Sh*t don't tell me, she picked me.'
