52 Flooded With Water

"The rank 9 student, is such a disgrace."

"What happened?

"I have heard that she had provoked our school beauty, the rank 10 student Fallia Grishaw from A class."

There was a set of gasps and buzzing sound of various whispers.

"Y-y-you are lying!"

"No, it's the truth!"

"Are you aware of what rank 9 did?"

"Tell us! Don't keep us in suspense!"

Yup, I want to hear how I have offended this delusional female; I have been for the past month keeping to myself; I had even made it a priority to minimize my presence and eat in secluded areas there is just no-

"There is a comical rumour going around,"

"The class A rank 1 student is interested in class B rank 9 student."

Gasps were heard, I rolled my eyes sort of questioning inwardly if their brains was somehow flooded with water.

What the hell!

The rank 1 student is utterly scary alright!

I have zero interest in him, even if I had almost raped him. In fact, thanks to that, I have marked him off my inner list of candidates to take as my male.

"Wow, it is-"

"She is shameless, look at her-"

"How can she be-"

"I refuse to listen to this nonsense!"

"He will never be interested in such a pathetic girl!"

"That's right!"

I laid on my arms and closed my eyes, refusing to budge while they continued to gossip.

This was annoying, extremely annoying. With this sort of statement flying around, I will be targeted soon.

Soon the teacher entered and, thankfully, the lesson began.

"For the next two years, we will discuss matters of the main house. As you all are aware, the main house is where the noble and the first branch family dwells. On the outskirts of said property are the personal servant dwellings. Servants, just like the various nobles, are ranked from one through four.

Ranks are roughly stated by numbers rank one servant are servants who are personal servants such as maid also known as a handmaiden they are treated the best among all servants, unlike Labour, bed and outdoor servants.."

While she chatted I listened carefully, this will be important for the next school we will attend.

<system, have the recommended materials been transferred to location specified?>

<answering host, it has been done>

<good >

The rest of the time for class was used to do self study... I actually think these teachers are just a bit lazy, but whatever – it didn't matter to me.

Immediately, before the lecturer could disappear, I packed up, grabbed Wincu and left the class not even giving those girls chance to surround me.

Things like that happened too often in my previous life for me to think it wouldn't here.

In fact these girls might pummel me to death or worse, just slit my throat.

Shivering at that thought, I dashed down the hallway, out the side door and into the secret garden.

"Wu Jie, it seems people are gossiping about you again."

"Of course, school seems to be too relaxed the last two months." I said, taking a seat on the cool grass, then began to pull up various screens to take notes and give Wincu some pointers for her weak areas.

"Each student here has an in-depth idea about servants since they were served from birth, but a few lacks the knowledge of their ranks, functions and how to properly use them without breaking any laws."

"So, slaves are seen as persons?"

I blinked at the girl who still stood above I stared at her long and hard trying to comprehend exactly what she had just said.

"What do you mean?"

"Slaves lose all of their rights as an individual once they enter slavery. Even if they are set free, they will never escape that stigma and will always stay as a lower-class citizen. Their children will be treated the same as well and perhaps all future generations..."

The mother of this world is a servant but not a slave, perhaps a lower-class citizen?

Then in turn originally I am also-

"Wu Jie, Wu Jie?"

I blinked and tilted my head to view Wincu, still a bit lost in my thoughts.

"Wu Jie forgive me-"

"No need. What you said was a fact written and carried out throughout the Kingdom."

Wincu seemed dazed a moment, opening her mouth to say something but then someone with a soft but commanding voice announced.

"Tyna Jie Wu from B level, rank 9 student. I am known as the school beauty, the rank 10 student Fallia Grishaw from A level."

Wincu attempted to step forward, but I moved which forced her to freeze immediately.

These students were not in front since I had the nerve to back the entrance, which doubled as an exit, to subtly insult whoever dared to approach me.
