*The Lucian's family crest, I always wondered why I was given a mission to steal it.
A family crest is a symbol that is only owned by the 14 pillars.
This symbol, irrespective of the handler, commands respect.
This means that even if a wretched person from the slums with no background is seen in possession of it, the person would be treated as an offspring of the Pillar's family.
It also comes with privileges which include access to information, places, and tools only the Pillar's can get.
This is why the Pillar protects this crest with their life.
The crest is only given to the members of the family once they are 15 years of age and above.
These crests can be sold for millions in the black market and many are willing to die to get their hands on it
I was paid so handsomely to steal the crest and honestly, I wasn't willing to put my life on the line
The reward is pretty LARGE and it was worth the stress and sacrifice
Before the day I decided to steal the crest, I had been studying the Lucian family.
And I must say their security is top-notch, even their weakest maid is going to be able to win against a dojo master.
The twins Mary and Mark, with Emma, are the three children of the Lucian family.
I gained intel on them and that helped make my job easier.
I studied the traps the family's daily routine and the characters of each student.
I couldn't get a read on Lucian and his wife, their characters felt like a pretense to me.
No matter how much I tried, it was only what was on the surface that I could see.
But they both were out of town when I proceeded with my mission, if not, I would have been dead.
In summary of everything, I managed to steal Mark's crest.
How did I do it?
Mark and Mary have a very strong rivalry against each other, so they both decide to duel and make sure everyone in the whole house watches their performance to know who is better.
I took advantage of that opening, but somehow Emma who didn't attend the duel caught me.
Although I was wearing a mask and even sprayed my hair, I don't know how she found out that it was me.
The good thing is that she did not inform the rest of the inhabitants and decided to handle it alone.
Her greed was so useful to me and I'm so appreciative of it.
I bet she was thinking that if she caught me, her parents would love her even more, what a cliche line that would be if it were true.
Ehem, back to the point.
That day was the day that made me believe in luck.
After almost dying more than 13 times from the traps and almost getting caught, but escaped by hair's breadth
I went to church to thank God for my life, because I was sure a thief like me was going to hell.
Now that she mentioned it to the class, if I defeat her, the students might begin to see the truth in what she's saying cause right now no one believes her.
I'll just make things look like luck from here on out.
***********Omniscient POV****************
"It's time to get serious," Henry said
Henry and Emma were standing some meters away from each other, both of them were wet due to the sprinklers.
Emma's wet clothes just hugged her body making her look like a model.
She had a model-like slim and slender figure, with a super alluring body.
"Damm, you look good, I think I might have fallen for you,
Do you think that maybe, later, you and me, we might hang out, like have ice cream together princess?" Henry teased Emma
~scoffs~
"Not a chance, you see, the only place I'm going to take you is the hospital after I have beaten the hell out of you," Emma said.
"So you're finally going to take this fight seriously princess," Henry said while scratching his nape.
"Oh, so you noticed, Yeah you're right I'll get a little bit serious from now on.
But I wonder, how did you manage to dodge my attacks?" Emma asked
"Don't know, just sheer luck" Henry said
"Luck? That doesn't exist" Emma said
"Now you know if it, it does exist. By the way, why did you call me a thief earlier" Henry asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Trying to act ignorant now, are you?" Emma asked
"I don't know what you're talking about," Henry said
"Don't worry about that, 'll beat the memory back into you"
"Hehe, okay then," Henry said assuming a fighting stance
"Ladies first," He said to Emma.
~Fwoosh!~
Emma sprinted towards Henry, her speed greater than before.
"Woah" Henry muttered to himself as his movements became shaky.
~Swish~
Henry jumped back dodging Emma's punch.
*That was close...!* His thought was interrupted by another attack.
~swish~
He ducked and avoided a horizontal kick from Emma.
~swish, swish, swish~
Henry although with unstable footing managed to dodge some of Emma's fierce attacks.
*Dammit, just, two to go* Henry thought
~Swish~
He jumped further back and barely dodged the attack.
"I never knew you were a frog. Quit jumping already, and stay still," Emma said annoyed
"Thanks for the offer but I'll pass on that Princess, I would die if I don't...huh?!"
~Thud~
Henry fell after he tripped on his leg.
*An opening!*
Emma thought and immediately dashed towards him.
~Fwoosh~
On reaching Henry who was lying down flat on the ground, she decided to stump on his chest with a little force to render him unconscious.
"?!"
Grasping the situation Henry caught her feet, but the force she used was too heavy
"Urrgh!"
Henry tried pushing her legs back with all the strength he could muster.
"I see you still have enough strength, How about this," She said increasing her force.
"Urgh...Uhm...p–princess?" Henry said
"What? Trying to beg for your life now? Sorry but it's too late" Emma said
"That's not it princess, the thing is that ugh...Ahh, I don't know how to put it?" Henry said.
"Huh?" Not releasing her force, Emma looked confused.
"I'll just say it... I can see it," Henry said
"See what?" Emma asked
"Your, uhh... what's the polite word for it? Panties, yes, I can see your panties." Henry said while looking under Emma's skirt.
*...?!*
"Uwaaah!"
Grasping the situation Emma jumped a whole four metres backwards, her face flushed red while she was holding down her skirt.
Sitting upright Henry massaged his hands.
"Wow, you even jump more than a frog, what are you? A red kangaroo?" He teased.
"Also, your face is all red, was it because I saw your panties?
Don't worry, I'm not into aggressive girls who could beat me at home, I'll soon forget that it was white...ack!"
"You filthy pervert!!!" Emma said kicking him in the chin.
"Ack!"
Henry was caught off guard
~whirl, whirl, whirl~
Henry spun three times in the air before falling to the ground he passed out.
Three seconds later, the buzzer sounded and the teacher announced Emma as the winner through the speaker.
A few seconds later some medics came in and carried Henry to the infirmary.
*************Henry's POV***********
*Damm that b*stard, making me loose on both sides.*
"Thanks for the money looser!"

[Guys, I just want to say, thank you for your support.
I also won't be updating frequently, I have exams coming up and I will also use that opportunity to re-write my early chapters.
I got complaints that it's not catchy.
Thanks, you all, I love you 😘]
