Trouble

Early in the morning and now Katara is in the banquet hall eating as her heart continent, she doesn't care about anyone at all. She's hungry, that's why she wants to eat as much as she can, her uniform, schedules, and other school stuff are already in her dorm.

She already has all of her schedule and guess what? It's all about manners, and how to be royal. There is one executive subject for ladies who are selected, the subject that just selected Nobles are in.a

So for normal students, they have only five subjects minus the three subjects about their powers. For extraordinary one they have eight and for selected one and extraordinary has nine subjects. Good things she's normal so she had just six subjects, good for her.

Every weekend, they get to know each other for selections. The prince will see each of them and get to know them. Even seeing the prince and talking to him is scheduled, it's kinda exhausting for him but who cares? Definitely not her.

As she's busy eating she heard some whispers from students, but she doesn't care at all. She woke up early today, she took a bath early and wore her uniform so that she could eat here. She's wearing a white long sleeve shirt for her upper uniform, and a black skirt that's has a length of above the knee and a black boots. All of the students are in the same uniform, the difference is just their neck tie color and their pins. The royal one has a royal pin in their collar together with the pin with their houses.

She continues eating like there is no tomorrow, it's been a week since she got to eat a proper meal because that freaking Duke is tormenting her and not giving her food to eat. There is so much food here, this one thing she'll be thankful for.

A moment later Katara feels someone is in front of her, she looks up and sees a group of girls. One of them are smirking and crossing her arm, she knotted her forehead. What's her problem? Is she hungry too or something?

"Ummm what can I do for you Miss?" She asks politely with a smile.

"You're seating at our table." The girl says, they're wearing a uniform too and it seems like they truly belong to this table because they're wearing a water pin symbol.

"Is that so, please excuse my rudeness. You can sit here now, I'm done anyway." It's because there is no food there, on their table. She doesn't know but me because all of the students in their house are afraid of eating there every morning, she reads the school rules and regulations. There is nothing indicating that it's forbidden to sit at another table to eat, she personally thinks it's okay as long as she doesn't hurt anyone.

She was about to get out from where she was seated when two girls held her shoulder and stopped her to stand up. She was confused. Why would they stop her?

"Do you think you can go that easily? Are you insane? How dare you eat at our table." The girl with the red hair says, and it seems that she's the leader of them. There are four of them, the other two are holding her and the other two are looking at her sharply.

'Arg! Why would I need to encounter such an extra character here? Is this a kind of Hollywood teen romance or something?'

She can't help but to roll her eyes, for goodness sake it's early in the morning!

"I'm really sorry for sitting here, but can you see? Our table is empty, no food at all, that's why I'm here. I hope you understand, will you let me go?" Katara tried to explain.

"What if we don't?" A girl who's smirking at her said again, she closed her eyes tightly and compressed her anger issues. She can't be stressed, the selection subjects will be her First subject she can't look haggard. She needs to be the most fresh there, and most stunning so that she could catch some attention without trying really hard.

"Look, we are all nobles here with high status and you being one of the selected is no different from us."

What's the connection?!

"I know, I'm sorry." again…

"You're just pretending to be nice right? To catch the crown prince's attention? I heard the mistress of heldigard is a mean one, she bullied her maids so I can't believe you were apologizing." Katara took a deep breath. Inhale, exhale…

Patience, patience. She needs to have longer patience, they'll observe that's why she can't make a scene. She can't make trouble because it might be her downfall, but really?! The Mistress really had a bad reputation!

"Correct? Right? You're just pretending to be a good one, how pathetic!" the red hair said, it's not true because she's not the real mistress of heldigard but damn! She really pissed her off! The food here is plenty but her patience is almost empty!

Katara smiled sweetly at them, it's her first day! She can't make any trouble okay?

"I'm sorry about that, but what do you do if I am pretending to be nice or something? Are you the prince? No? Stop freaking complaining. What are you, his mother?! Gosh" Her voice is low, and she keeps talking nicely.

"What did you say?"

"I said,' Do you want to be the one who's in the selection? Are you willing to represent my family? Let me go, stop holding me with your fifty hands." She looks at the two girls at her back and she gives them a kind of look that will make them shiver. They immediately let her go, she smiled at them and stood up from seating.

Coldly she looked red and the smirk girl, Katara approached them and whispered something.

"If you bother me again, I'll do everything to be a queen and let your head chop off in front of everyone." She threatened but of course it's just a bluff, it's not like she will be the queen. She's not a noble after all, but she can chop her head off anyway she's an assassin after all. Once an assassin, always be an assassin.

She walks in the middle of them and smirks, it seems like her threat is effective because they didn't move in inches after all.

The bell rings, she immediately goes to her first classes. She looks for her classroom and then turns out she's the first to come. She took a seat up ahead and then waited for some selected Nobles to come in. She double checks the room number and then she is right after all. After ten minutes of waiting she felt anxious, what if this is not the room at all?! She was about to stoop up and went out of the room when suddenly someone bragged in.

"I am not late?" The girl asked, she blinked a few times and shook her head.

"No, actually I am the only one here. This is the right room right?" She asks her, the girl looks at the room door and nods.

"Yes, the number is correct…" Katara felt relieved and took a seat again.

"I thought I was lost." She said to herself.

"Maybe the other nobles are still preparing, it's our first time moving without any help from maids, that's why it's pretty hard." The girl said and Katara nodded. Maybe, it's really hard adjusting yourself in a new environment. Which is far from the usual. It's a good thing that she's not lost.

"I am Heria by the way." Katara smiles at the girl.

"I am Ave." She introduces herself too, it seems like she's on the age of the real ave. She's seventeen years old, while Katara is already twenty. She had a baby face though that's why that's not a problem with her pretending to be Ave.

A minute later the selected nobles are one by one entering the room, the room instantly filled with thirty nobles selected for selection. Their professor entered the room, her hair is bun and she's wearing a dark green dress. She looks strict and terror, she's also holding a stick with her books.

"Good morning to the future queen of the empire! We are now officially starting your lesson. I am Mrs. Ramos, your professor within a year. I will teach you everything about the royals, such as royal history, laws, and ect. One of you will be the future queen of this country, that's why if you want the crown then earn it. Now let me know each of you, can you introduce yourself?"

One by one they introduced themselves in front, after that they started the discussion, the lesson started to a royal history and damn! It's boring, how the empire is built, how many kings already passed, the first king and ect. Katara almost fell asleep from being seated, she just forced herself not to.

The lunch break came in and all of the other students walked to the banquet hall to eat, of course Katara didn't come late especially if the one topic is freaking food. She was with Dianna and Celina, she took a seat and started filling her plates with food and began to eat.

Celina is holding a book, she is such a freaking nerd. She discovered that the normal people work in the city, they could be doctors, or work in the city capital as royal employees. Most of the students with power are trained to fight for the empire, after they graduate they can be one of the Knights who goes to war.

"So how is your First day of selection?" Dianna asks Katara.

"It was boring, we discussed history." Katara responded.

"I see, have you already talked to the crown prince?" Dianna asks, Katara thinks and shakes her head. She didn't want to say that she talked to her m already and almost killed him yesterday evening…

"Oh… you're lucky to spend time with him. Many on this campus want to catch his attention but they all just air to him, he is the campus president and crown prince he's always busy."

"She likes him…" Celine said while reading, Katara looked at Dianna.

"What? He's the perfect package, he's hot and I think he could be a good ruler someday." Katara laughs…

"Would you like to switch places with me?" Katara asked.

"Only really if we could do that." Dianna replies, they're laughing when suddenly someone approaches them.

"What's your laughing about? Can we join?" Dianna stopped when she heard the voice at her back, Katara immediately noticed how she slightly jumped off because she was surprised and her hand started to tremble.

"Hi J-Janice…" Dianna greeted her with a low tone of voice.

"Oh hello diane, I'm glad you're enjoying your food." Katara looks at the one Dianna called Janice and she's familiar, she's one of the selected one and at her back the girls she met this morning… ey? What do they want? So those two aren't the leaders at all?!

Katara observed how Janice put her hand on Dianna's hair, and Dianna trembled more. She continues to hold Dianna's head and move her hand, Diana looks so uncomfortable about it. Katara couldn't help but to interfere, she stood up and held Janice hand and threw her hand away from Dianna's head.

"Stop touching her, I think it's uncomfortable…" Janice looks so surprised for what she did, she also heard there's plenty of Nobles already studying here in the Academy.

"How dare you do that?" Janice hysterically said, Katara just smiled at her.

"I'm sorry but don't you have any tables? Why are you bothering us, it's not like we're your friends or something. Aren't you feeling close?"

"We're old acquaintances." Katara looks at Dianne.

"Oh really? Trying to save face huh?

acquaintance doesn't make you uncomfortable, can you leave? We can't eat properly because of your presence…"

"Hey Dianne, tell her that we know each other." Dianna looks at them.

"Yes, we know each other." Dianna said, Katara nodded. Janice smirks as if she wins.

"B-But w-we a-aren't friends at all, we don't have any business with each other…"

"Oh, is that so?" Katara raised her eyebrows as she said 'you freaking liar, feeling close. Iw' a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"You dare to deny m—" Janice was about to pull Dianna's hair when Celine gave Katara water and she immediately splashed it on Janice. It was her reflexes, she doesn't mean it! Janice eyes widen as the water drips from her, her face is now wet and her hair ruined.

"What the hell?! My hair!" Katara tried to relax herself and think about what she did, she took a deep breath as Janice panicked. They are now starting to gain more attention as Janice hysterically yelled.

"You filthy witch! I will kill you!" Janice cried and was about to slap her when Katara caught her hand in the air and stopped her. They look at each other and glare.

"You can't touch my face, you might stain it—"

"What is happening here?" Katara stops and immediately lets Janice's hand go. The crown prince entered the scene, his forehead knotted and looked at them especially Katara badly.

Now she smell trouble...
