THE APPRENTICE LAWYER
In cadet college,the bell rang for school break. All where leaving to catch up with friends or to rush out of the class as if school was holding them hostage but an abnormally Victor sat at his desk waiting for all to leave before he would leave to not struggle with they other students for the door. The lecturer looked at him and smiled after observing him for a long while during classes. 'This boy acts all mature, gentle and awoof for his age'.
"Victor aren't you going out for break?" She asked. "I would but not now, I still have things to do" he answered.
In Cadet State, it was known that their was only three distinguished prominent young men that all major families will be fulfilled to have as a son-in-law.
Among them were; Michael ( the God of war),a strong handsome young man with great battle record in the military. It was said that if given enough time to grow, he will be sure to be the Major General someday.
Second was Davis (the Business tycoon),a young handsome and successful business man. Being one of the young richest in Cadet state,he can be said to be a powerhouse in the state. Though he was being taken to be the richest in the business cycle while in the open, the upper society class knows that the White Deity can rival him in the dark.
Lastly was Victor (the Apprentice Lawyer), a young handsome man with doings. It was said that he as an apprentice lawyer was been sort after by many law firm because he was able to defeat a refined lawyer beyond all reasonable doubt in a case which the lawyer thought firmly he has bagged. It was said that during the case, the judge at that time was in cohort with the lawyer and so therefore ruled in his favour.
At that time, Victor was disappointed at the law at first but didn't give up. So he decided to reinvestigate the case again himself since he had paid a private investigator to do the digging for him last time. Finally,he found out that even the private investigator he had hired was also in cohort with them and only feed him what they had asked to be feed to him.
Victor was so mad but didn't allow his anger to cloud his judgement and so he played the pig to eat the lion. He layed low for a long while to collect all evidence against them one by one. When he surfaced, he sue all of them all at once. The lawyer, his client,the judge and the private investigator and with enough evidence,he sent them all to prison. His poor innocent client was so touched that she couldn't believe that one would go that far for her without been paid. After being released,she thanked Victor in front of the media. It didn't take time for people to have different versions of the story that painted Victor as a hero who serves justice to all no matter who one is and protects the poor and weak.
This act made Victor to trend and all law firm wanted him because he was so young and as an apprentice lawyer sent a judge to prison. One can imagine his future that he would be a renowned lawyer and with his reputation can get to be a high judge one day. That's why even though he is still learning,other lawyer do not see him as a common apprentice but a ful fledged lawyer in making and had to catch him young.
When Victor left,he went to the library to look up somethings. Some girls who wanted to seek attention would directly or indirectly make some funny sounds for him to look their way and notice them but Victor would walk as if he was in another dimension.
Victor was already used to people seeking his attention, teachers and students alike. He was extremely good with sidelining girl and that make them try to wool him or talk to him even more. This was to extent of blocking his way intentionally but pretend to be unaware of it so that Victor will poke them at the back and ask them to excuse his path. By so doing,the will brag to others that one of the hottest boy in the school chatted them up first and worst of them all was Ivy.
On one such occasions, Ivy trying to mark her territory used an oil paint to repaint Victor's locker knowing fully well that someone would come to play such dirty tricks on Victor 'her man'. In Ivy's part, she doesn't give a dime about anyone. She simply relayed that she likes Victor and so he was has. Thus warned that all should stay clear of him. Emma one of the attention seeker ran to his locker with her friend during break to try to replay the trick and layed on his locker. Victor came and saw them but instead what caught his eye was the locker. It looked as if it was recently painted thus he took a piece of paper and cleaned it a bit. Emma's friend saw this and dragged her from the locker but her clothes was already a mess. The surrounding students gave her a laugh of her life. Victor didn't even say anything but took what he came for and left. Ivy later came out with her group of friends and added salt to the injury.
"I thought I warned you not to go close to my man. This is but the tip of the iceberg , when next you try me. I would show you am not one to be messed with. Let's go girls".
Emma was so pissed because she now knows who did this but can't retaliate.
