Punishments
I'm standing near the office door listening to the girl's rant to the boy. She's been throwing lies and lies so that anybody who hears it will pity her. We're at the Punishment Room located at the Academy's ground. Only selected person knows the location here. And any students who gets to receive punishments were being put to sleep before being sent here.
"He force me to kiss him but I declined so he got mad and strangled me!" She said screaming.
"Lower your voice." The guy commanded. He is sitting on his chair, wearing a hooded cloak and known as a person who gives judgement.
Cai is his code name.
The girl gulped and her face turned red. Who wouldn't, anyone who hears his voice gets shy and seduced.
"He forced you to kiss him?" He mockingly asked.
"Y-yes." The girl stuttered. The boy who's sitting in front of him who's name is Rowan was just coldly staring at the girl. I remembered the time when I hold Rowan's shoulder and his eyes stared at me deeply. I saw everything what happened.
"Last question," Cai became more serious. "He forced you to kiss him?" He asked, his voice mixed with cold tone. The girl felt pressured as she knew that Cai did not believe her.
She wasn't forced, because she's the one who tried to take advantage of Rowan by blackmailing and forcing to kiss him.
"Yes he did! Believe me! I'm the victim here!" She shouted at Cai before glaring at Rowan.
What's the use of shouting?
I snapped my fingers then two Ninja's appeared behind the girl, same with Rowan. One of the ninja behind Rowan opened a scroll then the other Ninja read it.
Cai glance at me with shock written on his face. I've been here for almost half an hour but he just noticed me right now?
"Student from Grade Gemstones Section Onyx, Prince Rowan Vionne Willowbrook will receive two punishments for not following two minor rules and one major rule of the Academy." The Ninja who has a voice of a boy was reading the text written on the scroll like a robot.
Rowan lowered his head showing acceptance but he never looked at the girl again. My eyes darted at the girl when she dared to show his rude smirk in front of Cai and me.
I'm thinking of what will be her reaction after hearing her punishment.
"Your first punishment will be cleaning the soccer field starting this month every Friday at 3 o'clock in the Afternoon. This punishment will only last after this month. Failure to do your part, your punishment will be extended." Sabi ng Ninja.
Nakatungo parin si Rowan habang nakikinig at wala siyang kahit na anong naipapakitang reaction.
"Since the you didn't abide the third major rule, you're assigned by the Annihilator to be the Head Roamer of the Academy every night starting at 6 o'clock in the evening. This will be a one year punishment." The Ninja continued.
"What?!" Gulat na tanong ng babae habang napatayo naman si Rowan dahil sa narinig at nanlalaki ang matang nakatingin sakin.
Hindi ko sila binalingan dahil natutuwa akong makita ang kauna-unahang naging reaction sa mukha ni Cai. I've known him for his blank and cold expression. But now, his lips are slightly parted and his eyes are looking at me with shock and amazement.
"You are now terminated and allowed to go back to your dorm." Pagtatapos ng Ninja bago ibinigay kay Rowan ang scroll.
"Annihilator?" I heard the girl murmured. Nahihiwagaan din itong nakatingin sakin.
"O-one year?" Rinig kong usal ni Rowan na ikinautal pa nito. Napabaling na ako sa kanya at para siyang nanghihina dahil nakatukod na ito sa lamesa.
Cai coughed. "Any problem, Prince Rowan?" He asked the boy coldly. Mabilis namang umiling si Rowan. Akmang hahawakan na ito ng dalawang Ninja na nasa likod niya ng magsalita ako.
"Let him stay." I commanded, mabilis namang umatras ang dalawang Ninja at bumalik sa kanilang pagkakatayo.
"You're a girl?" Cai asked to me with a shock expression gone the cold one.
"Since birth." I replied. Right, who would know if I'm wearing a black hooded cloak and a mask.
"You didn't know?" Rowan asked to Cai with a shocked expression.
I only wore the black hooded cloak during day hours, at the public, and with other people because I'm not a showy just like now.
"You were the first to know." I answered Rowan. And they all looked at me with a shock expression.
I don't wore it during mission. Just like my first encounter with other hardheaded students and just like with Rowan on his first ever punishment, he saw me without cloak and everytime I caught him.
"Do it now." I commanded the Ninjas behind the girl. The girl's smile widened when the scroll was opened and it's only short.
Would you look at that.
"Student from Grade Gemstones Section Amethyst, Princess Harriet Lei Weeniur will receive one punishment," The Ninja with a voice of a girl paused for a moment and glanced at me.
Harriet is smiling widely while staring at Rowan who's not even paying attention to her.
I gave the Ninja a nod before she continued. "for not following four minor rules and all the major rules of the-" The Ninja didn't finished what she read because Harriet took the scroll from them.
The Ninja's stayed on their position when they saw me hold my Katana. Tumayo si Harriet at siya na mismo ang nagpatuloy sa pagbasa.
"You're punishment is..." Hindi na nito naipatuloy ang pagbasa. Nanlalaki ang mata nito ng mag-angat ng tingin sakin. Nabitawan pa nito ang scroll at napaatras habang nakatingin sa hawak ko.
"Death." I continued, then the last thing I heard was her scream and a s***h.
"Starting today, a Princess named Harriet Lei Weeniur doesn't exist anymore as you've been stripped down from your title by your own family as a punishment."
