The rest of the day was for the students and teachers to chat and learn more about each other before their classes start the next day.
The young men gathered around Father Asher and sank him under endless questions about random things and whatever might be related to his daily life. As for the young ladies, half gathered around Sister Oriana, and the other half gathered around Sister Sophia.
The latter couldn't contain her anger so she decided to release some of it by bullying Sister Oriana, or THAT'S what she hoped for...
She walked with a group of ladies leaving the rest whispering between themselves about her next victim. It was known that whoever becomes under her sight won't last for long. Or that's what they're expecting to witness today.
The teachers who were busy talking to the Archangels' Wings didn't notice the commotion because they were happy to get the chance to meet with The Wings again. But The Wings were aware of what was going on around them, but they decided to not intervene hoping to have a good show in this boring gathering.
The young men heard a slap sound followed by whispers so they turned their attention to the ladies on the other side. Father Asher asked them to move aside so he checks what is going around, but he was shocked when he saw Sister Oriana on one knee and holding her cheek.
"Disrespectful!!"
To understand what happened, let's go back to a few minutes ago.
Sister Sophia approached Sister Oriana easily because all students knew her well so they understood the assignment.
Sister Oriana didn't look back even though she noticed the ladies' attention turned to something else. She didn't think too much about it and busied herself with the cup of sweet grape juice.
"Ahem!!" Sister Sophia finally said after being ignored for a while, "Hey! You!"
Sister Oriana glanced back with a rising eyebrow, "may I help you?" She asked nonchalantly while twirling the cup of juice in her hand. Sister Sophia felt attacked by that behavior, only she can behave like that, and no one is allowed to act like her.
"Ha! Look at yourself copying me!!" She said with much courage. "Excuse me, but have we met before?" The ladies gasped at her daring behavior. They started to take steps backward afraid to be the punching bag for Sister Sophia.
"Heh! Of course~ How would you know ME when you never went to any of the ladies gatherings? It's obvious you were never fit for that place in the first place~ Hohohohoho~!!!"
"Well, if being in a place like that could make me disgustingly rude like this, then thank you I have to decline" The gasps grew louder before the sound of the slap filled the room along with the whispers, but nobody heard what the Archangels' Wings, the teachers, and Father Asher heard, the crack of a glass.
When Sister Sophia slapped Sister Oriana, the cup was still in her mouth so her teeth clenched the glass that was on her lips and caused it to shatter inside. She did that to not bite her tongue since it too was close to her teeth.
"Disrespectful!!"
When Father Asher heard the shatter of glass he moved through the crowd to find Sister Oriana on one knee and blood coming out of her mouth. He was so mad that he was about to step in, but The First Wing- His master and Father- stopped him, he shook his head and asked him to take a look at what will be unfolding in front of them.
"Ah~ I lost my focus just now because I was busy savoring the sweet flavor of my juice, but now the cup has shattered and it spilled out. Only remains what's broken and my injured face and mouth, will you take responsibility for your actions?" Sister Oriana stared at her coldly sending shivers down her spine.
"H- How-"
"Simple, we put a cup in your mouth, and I slap you with the same strength to leave a scar in and out of your mouth." The room's temperature decreased drastically after that statement scaring everyone, even the teachers who planned to step in. Father Asher stared at Sister Oriana in shock, then he turned back to look at The First Temple's Father in horror and the old man giggled while nodding his head.
Sister Sophia clenched her teeth before she huffed and left the room. The silence got replaced by everyone's opinions regarding what just happened, some were with the idea of punishing Sister Sophia while others thought it was an extreme judgment. One ignored everyone in the room and walked slowly to Sister Oriana who was slowly losing balance.
He held her hand and waist before she fell and looked at her with sad eyes, "don't give me this look, Father" she giggled, "At least I fought back"
"It will be dangerous if you keep behaving like that, Sister" he whispered to her. Her ears turned red from how close he was, so she pushed him away and hid her face under the white veil.
A young man saw their hands held so he was furious, "Father Asher, you're already breaking one of the rules by holding a Sister's hand!!" He said angrily. Father Asher ignored him and held Sister Oriana tighter than before.
"Why you-!!"
"Father Asher?" The Great Nun, Noon, stepped in before another fight occurs and stared at the young man before she took a glance at Sister Oriana, "Thank you for holding Sister Oriana before she fell" he nodded his head and slowly tried to let go of the Sister's hand but the next line made hold her hand tighter than before.
"Please help her to the nursery so she can receive treatment"
"Yes! Great Nun! I will take good care of her until we reach the nursery" he bowed down before he walked out of the room with Sister Oriana held close to him.
"As for the rules!! WE are allowed to break them when it's necessary! And by 'necessary' we mean the case you all just witnessed. I'm sorry ladies but none of you could be entrusted with Sister Oriana's safety. So, we will be asking random gentlemen to watch over her until SHE tells me she's fine and found at least one real friend to be beside her." The silence in the room started to be deafening, everyone took their time to think of what The Great Nun just said.
"Ah~ I can't believe the candidates to become the next Wings have such wickedness! I think we'll need to reconsider the type of teaching system we'll use and focus more on the inner than what's outer." Everyone, even the teachers, gulped and nodded their heads understanding what she exactly meant by that.
'Behave yourselves or you'll be taught an unforgettable lesson that will leave a life long mark on your bodies' that's what she meant and thankfully that's what they understood. "Glad we're on the same page~ You all may take your leave, and... Don't forget what I said"
"Yes, Great Nun!"
"We understand, Great Nun."
"We'll try our best, Great Nun!"
