Chapter 40
Narrator Pov:
Eugene walks up to the stand, with some in the crowd giving death glares that no-one noticed. It had still not been found out that he was responsible for multiple charges of treason, terrorism, murder, and more.
"Hello and Welcome, my name is Eugene Lionheart. Thank you for coming today. I think I speak for everyone here when I say it is an honor and a joy to be welcomed into this great institution, when our parents, guardians, and friends look on with pride. I'd also like to thank the teachers and current students of this school who look to make friends and acquaintances with those coming in today," He begins. He continues on with that for the remainder of the minute.
"Thankyou Eugene, now will the head of the disciplinary committee, Jake Wolf, and the highest scorer of the year. She, her sister, and their friend all made top marks, but they knew about the Speech. So we could not give it to them as they are not supposed to know to prepare. But she is the head of the disciplinary committee so they would say a Speech anyway. After her we have the Student Council President speaking," Old Olaf announces. With that, Jake enters the arena.
"Boo!," "It's a woman!," "You aren't strong enough you Bitches!," People continued to hurl insults at Jake as she entered. Jake does not react to it and just stands in the center looking at the crowd.
"QUIET!!!," Jake yells, shutting everyone inside the arena up. "I don't give a damn about etiquette, and even if I knew about this I don't like giving speeches, so I'll be brief and to the point. I am glad to have you all this year and I hope we will have a great time this year. The disciplinary committee is here to prevent school violence to a minimum and to protect those who can't protect themselves," Jake begins.
"There is a total of 8 Disciplinary committee officers, 1 for every hundred students here at this academy, and hand picked from every grade level for their grades and fighting capability. While I continue my speech, if those who are part of the disciplinary committee please come down, thankyou. We prevent school violence by physically stepping in and stopping the fights themselves, either through words, or force," Jake continues. While that is happening, 7 other students come down.
"These students behind me are the disciplinary committee. You have Haydon Fort, Harper Surval, Sir Ulgerthrope Rhaelpe, Elmia Visercherous, Fury Vast, Freya Fearless, and Charlie Firewest, who is also the Student Council President. They will be responsible for stopping school violence and are authorized by the Principle to use violence to stop you from fighting," Jake finishes, but then arguments start up again.
"But won't they use that to get whatever they want!," "Why wasn't I picked?!," "They are basically all Girls, they won't protect us!," "Do you think the leader would marry me?," "Do you think they would get in a relationship with me," "Why wasn't the top scoring student Eugene picked!," Are yelled, and then people start agreeing with the last line the most when they talked about Eugene. Around a third that was wanting some kind of relation with the committee members.
"Jake, please?," Charlie asks her.
"It would be my pleasure. QUIET DOWN RIGHT NOW SO THAT THE STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT CAN EXPLAIN! ALSO I AM NOT INTERESTED IN ANY SORT OF RELATIONSHIP, I ALREADY HAVE SOMEONE AS DOES HARPER, ULGERTHROPE, ELMIA, FURY, AND FREYA! IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT CHARLIE AND HAYDON, ASK THEM IN YOUR OWN TIME OR CHARLIE WILL TELL YOU NOW ABOUT HER!," Jake yells to which they quiet down again.
"Thankyou Jake, and you didn't need to say that last part. I will now begin my Speech, the disciplinary members may go back to their seats now. As for my relationship, I am currently dating Haydon, and it is none of your business on anything more than that. The reason Eugene was not picked, we will not divulge it out of the sake of privacy. We did do background checks and picked the ones who grew up with the best backgrounds out of available candidates," Charlie started.
"What do you mean they had a better background, that is impossible!," "Eugene grew up as the son of a millionaire with the best tutoring and martial training!," "Eugene has no bad quirks in his background!," Was yelled at Charlie, cutting her off.
"Those are all incorrect. Eugene grew up spoiled and had everything given to him since birth. He never earned anything for himself, or worked for that matter. Plus we found several bad things that go against the schools ideals. We will not go into detail as I said and I will not elaborate further on him. The others grew up in great households, Haydon built his own business and has already paid enough for his college, and given 4 scholarships to this school," Charlie begins.
"Harper Surval and Jake Wolf who came from Eyja Nott grew up surviving the harsh lands, and put together enough money to get here. We looked into their families and their ideals were deemed good by the school and Jake even said one earlier. His family follows the golden role, they treat others as they would have them treat themselves, and they help those who cannot help themselves," Charlies continues.
"Ulgerthrope, despite growing up under a wealthy house, they had to earn their keep. They could not get anything for themselves. They had to work their way up and earn it, every single thing. Elmia worked with him as a vassal of the family. While they may have not been on the same standing, they understood that someone needed to earn their keep," Charlie informs them.
"Fury and Freya, they took lessons on how to be in government and earned a great respect from their follow islanders. All of the people I have mentioned also have a good rep in being some of the best martial artists on their islands. Now onto my speech," Charlie finishes. She continues talking for around the next 30 minutes.
