*Note Before You Start; In order to have card classification you must be blessed by a god.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a time where there are no modern schools; medieval time...
Notru's POV-
The air was light and peaceful, the classroom was listening to the teacher teaching about the card ranks but I could care less. Ever since that strange man with horns did that promise with me I've been feeling emotional and uneasy. I look outside and stare at the band playing outside. The music is faint but being a demon has it's perks. Only one person in the classroom knows that I'm a demon and that's my 'brother'. Well we aren't really brothers just really close friends, like in the same room in the orphanage close and sitting right next to me close. Cane is a cool guy, he has jet black hair, ice blue eyes,(He's a little tan) and a face that gets all the girls including Yuna. Yuna is the girl in the back of the class, she's one of the "I'm gonna kill you if you flirt with me" girls, she has light brown hair, dark brown eyes, and a cream colored skinned. She's an unpredictable person too. Even if Yuna is one of the hardest girls to hit on she shows her soft side to me and Cane, man I bearly get time with Cane when we're in this shitty school.
"Notru come up and say the ranks all the way up to the gods!" Ms.Bell said.
No one's POV-
The teacher, called Ms.Bell, called Notru for the sixth time and slammed her hand on the table grabbing everyone's attention except Notru's.
Ms.Bell clearly angered stared at the white haired boy that stared outside the window. "NOTRU!"She yelled.
Notru jumps out of his trance and quickly turns his attention to the teacher, clearly scared that he was going to get detention again.
"Yes miss!?" Notru said.
Ms.Bell fixes her posture and points the ruler to the board on the front of the class.
"Since you clearly can't hear..." She takes a deep breath and yells. "COME UP AND SAY THE RANKS ALL THE WAY UP TO THE GODS!"
"Sorry Miss!"Notru stands up from his desk and walks up to the front glancing back at Cane that mouths 'Good Luck and hah told you to pay attention!' Notru gives him a glare when he understands the last part which receives a glare from Yuna.
Notru writes the ranks on the board.
"The ranks are... first are gods, with their Holy Cards. Second are kings or emperors, with their Leadership Cards. Third are the rich and noble, with their Wealth Cards. Forth are the knights with their Loyalty and Bravery Cards. Fith are the commoners with magic, they have no card classification. Sixth are commoners without magic, they also have no card classification... and I think that's it." Notru smiles at Ms.Bell not knowing his mistake. Ms.Bell slaps her self on the face and looks at the big smile on Notru's face, while students around the classroom snicker.
Ms.Bell take another deep breath and says, "You're 100%... wrong! You said it backwards!
"Oh... S-sorry..." Notru looks down and hides his smirk of 'I know what you're going to say'.
Notru's POV-
Watch Ms.Bell is going to say, 'I forgive you but next time... PAY ATTENTION!" She's the most predictable person in the whole school.
As soon as she bends down she put her hands on my shoulders and said after sighing,"I forgive you but next time... PAY ATTENTION!" Ms. Bell turns to the rest of the class and says, "Now I hope you all know pay attention instead of going to sleep!" We all nod our heads in response.
Ms.Bell looks at the sunset and looks back to the class, "Well look at the time, students form a line it's time to do the card classification ritual!"
We form a line and follow Ms.Bell to the Holy Church for the ritual.
~In Holy Church~
As we arrive to the Holy Church we are greeted inside by a Priest and a Nun and I get a sickening feeling that something bad is going to happen.
The Priest stands on the platform where they will perform the ritual. The Nun forms a circle on the ground with symbols and begins to say words in another language. We all sit on the front row chairs waiting for instructions by the Priest. Cane sits next to me and we talk.
"Notru, are you feeling alright you're paler than usual?" He puts his hand on my forehead and I slap it away.
"Cane you know I don't like to be treated like that!" I say as I glare at him.
"Seems like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, I'm basically your big brother so let me do that!"
I smile,"Sorry, I guess it's catching up to me..."I look down and stare at the floor while Yuna sits next to Cane with one of her shy friends called Miku.
Yuna looks over at me,"Hi, you excited for the ritual?"
I straighten me posture,"I am and I hope to be a powerful god or ruler! I'm gonna blast you with my laser beams and sleep all day!"
Cane lightens up by the positivity and laughs,"Hahaha, that's a good one!"
Yuna goes to her neutral face and looks at me (This is how she looks at him, -_-), "You know that being a ruler is working all day to satisfy your people, right..."
Cane keeps laughing and nudges her with his elbow, "Lighten up it's just a joke!"
Yuna blushes a little and looks away, "Fine..."
~Meanwhile the Priest and Ms.Bell are talking~
No One's POV-
"Sister, what do you sense? how many are blessed with card classification?" The Priest asks the Nun while getting a couple of cards out of the air.(MAGIC)
"Four... but I sense something else... something-" Suddenly the Nun's circle is blown away and the Nun is left with a shocked face. "There's a curse on someone!"
Ms.Bell frowns and puts a hand on her shoulder,"Who?"
The Nun looks at the three laughing and talking happily, "I sensed the curse towards that group of kids..." The Nun is struck with grief as she realizes that Notru is in the group.
The Priest looks at the laughing boy with white hair, red eyes, and pale skin. "No, it can't be Notru! He is a young man incapable of causing harm!"
Ms.Bell makes both of the shocked people look at her,"Hey, calm down... hey, I know, is there anything good?"
The Nun fixes herself into a more relaxed posture and says, "There is someone that is blessed by all the gods for card classification!"
The Priest faces the students eagerly but nervously waiting for the ritual to begin.
The Priest puts his hands behind his back, "Good evening students, we are now going to begin the ritual, may the students that I call come on to this platform."
The Priest nods at the Nun and the Nun nods back. The Nun begins to speak an ancient language and the Priest closes his eyes.
The Nun is surrounded by rings of air that show every students past and the Priest begins saying names, "Blessed by the fourth and third god, Luckster! Come on stage to receive your card, noble man."
Luckster does as told and Ms.Bell puts a card on Luckster's shoulder, sinking in like a tattoo while the Priest continues.
"Blessed by the first god, Miku! Come on stage to receive your card, princess."The Priest bows as Miku nervously gets on stage, and blushes when Notru gives her a thumbs up. Ms.Bell guides Luckster down the stage and welcomes Miku.
The Priest straightens up and calls the last two people.
Notru's POV-
I can't wait until I'm called!
"Cane who do you think will be the last two?"
Cane covers my mouth and I glare at him for doing such a thing. I'm gonna rip out your guts.
"Shush I wanna hear... Don't give me that look..." Cane glares back with an icy glare. Yuna just keeps smiling at Miku while she gets her card classification. I'm actually impressed that she going to be a ruler. Miku's usually the one that's always quite and timid, not a leader.
No One's POV-
"Blessed by the second god, Yuna! Join us up here and receive your card, warrior!" The Preist smiles as Yuna comes up to the stage and the ceremony continues.
Notru's POV-
'Wait there's only one more spot left unless this time there are 5... I don't feel so good'
"Blessed by all the gods... and the last one, Cane! Congratulations soldier! Come up here and take your card!"
'No...no...no
Wait, what are these!'
No One's POV-
As Notru starts crying
And Cane gets his card
Everyone freezes and turns towards the loud sounds of screams and bloodshed out side the oh so holy church.
