D'Day

President Cloydd remained silent and listened to my words. While the girl looked at me stunned as she bit her lower lips. I smiled "Student Ferrer, it's not like I'm reprimanding you. Since you just got here and don't know the rules yet, we'll make an exemption for you. But I hope the next time you say those words, be made sure that you can provide the proper evidences"

I smiled. I glanced towards Senior Rahiro and slightly bowed my head. Such man is someone you can't offend. I feel kinda pity for this pretty girl for bumping such dangerous man. "In behalf of Student Ferrer, I apologize for the inconvenience it caused you Senior Rahiro. I, Helena Fabian, will take responsibility for whatever your demands are. I apologize"

It's not that I am acting all saint and hero but this is a proper custom I had learned from my pops. It's okay to attached yourself and make connections to someone in power and it's also okay to lower your head down if you see there's no way for you to act brave.

To retreat is to advance, learn to give in order to gain, that's the whole scheme of life works.

Senior Rahiro didn't bother to say a single word and nonchalantly left the place with nose pointed to heavens.

I sighed and took a glance at President Cloydd. He nodded his head and indicated Lucas and company to fix the mess.

He lead us to leave the place. Mary stood on my side and tugged my uniform "Vice Pres, just what on earth was that? Is it really okay to bare the responsibility in behalf of that transferee?" She asked.

I smiled and sighed "It's okay. I don't think Senior Rahiro will bother about such minor issue."

Mary nodded her head "Sabagay. Anyway, you felt it too right? That girl, something's wrong with her! She actually dare to accuse us!"

Mary said between her teeth. She's obviously very pissed right now. "That's natural. She's a a transferee and obviously still ignorant on how the whole institution works"

Leo who was behind us said in chorus. I smiled "Of course. I actually admire her boldness though" Mary chuckled "I know right! If it were me, I would've already cried. It was fckn Seniro Rahiro we're talking men"

"Are you guys nuts? As what Vice Pres said a while ago, that wasn't bravery, that was idiocy! That girl! Just where on this world did she come from?!" Jenny was still angry. If Jenny is the President's admirer, Jenny is also Senior Rahiro's number 1 supporter.

I and Mary giggled. Jenny always admire men with excellent talent, background and most of all outstanding appearance.

"The name's Helena Fabian, I command thee..

Awaken..!"

I thought as I slowly felt the changes in my body. My blood's boiling like a coiling dragon and as my body produced a loud single thump.

I slowly open my eyes as I slightly raised my hands to feel the changes in me.

It's not enough..

Not yet..

"I think this year's tournament will be a little interesting"

Lucas who was seating across me grinned as he scanned thru the list of participants. I raised my brows "How could you say so?"

Lucas stood and went beside me as he showed me the documents. I frowned as I saw a familiar name on the list "Lily Ferrer? She's competing too? How?"

As far as I can remember, Lily is just a transferee and hindi nya na naabutan ang preliminaries for the tournament. "En. I also want to know" I was slightly taken a back when I noticed Lucas face was just a few inches away from mine.

The moment I turned my head I almost kissed his cheek. And speaking of his face, Lucas face is really too handsome. His tall nose and thins lips. His eyelashes were long and slightly curved. His face was to dazzling that I almost choke.

I snapped when I realize I've been staring at him for too long. I lightly cleaned my throat and took a glance at President Cloydd. I showed him the paper with inquiring eyes. "Pres, do you know about this?"

He coldly threw a quick glance at me and nodded his head "En. The council made an exemption for her since she had the talent and ability"

I sighed in my thoughts. I might be over thinking things but I just found it a little unfair. The preliminaries was done by them and checked by them multiple times in order to determine if qualified ba ang isang student to participate.

I feel like, all of those were futile since the council has the final say wether a student is qualified or not. I don't have anything against Student Ferrer but I just think it's quite unfair sa mga Student na dumaan sa tamang proseso even though we already knew how capable they are.

I shrugged my shoulders and resume to my work. The tournament's in 2 days time and our schedule is getting tighter and tighter. Aside from the secretary, treasurer and PIO, we are not allowed to participate in the competition.

As the President was in charge of the over all organization while I am to assist him, the Peace and order committee are also responsible for the safety and security.

"By the way, I had already talked to the council about the forces you'll be needing, Lucas." I smiled as I informed Lucas. Lucas nodded his head "Thanks Vice, I only need at least 2 people for Andrew and Niko. And that's all"

I nodded. "Well, everything should be fine already right? Well, if something unexpected happens, Pres and I can be of assistance though"

I just hope nothing big will happen.

"Helena!"

Allison waved her hand as soon as she saw me. She walked towards my direction with a smile plastered on her face. "Wow! Why do I feel like it's getying hard neeting you these past few days?"

She asked, I rolled my eyes "What else? Student Council's duties and such. Ahh, I barely had the time to rest ." Allison hugged me and patted my back "It must been hard Vice President"

I chuckled and pushed her off of me. "Yes and that is why you must do your best" Allison giggled and wrapped her arms on mine. "En. But please don't expect too much from me though. You know my capabilities"

"Of course. I actually kinda feel sorry for you. I couldn't join and accompany you during practice. I should have been with you and lend some of my knowledge" I pouted

"Nah it's fine. I understand your situation. By the way, I heard a very interesting news"

Oh here's the gossip queen again. "Oh? What is it this time?" Allison grinned and pulled me towards and empty seat. "Still remember Lily Ferrer?" I nodded and she continued "She's one of the participants!"

I raised my brows "I already know that" Allison shook her head and added "You know that part but do you know why?" I frowned "Because she's capable?"

Allison rolled her eyes "Of course not! A part of Institution Council is her uncle"

Without her continuing I kind of guessed the important part "It's not right to assume things based on what you saw and heard."

Allison grinned "I know okay? But you know me Helena, I have insiders"

I stayed silent and pondered about it. Allison may not look like it but she got some connections inside the institution due to her family background. And almost all of her informations are reliable.

"Parang kaylan lang but she was able to get a quite big attention in just a short span of time" Allison added which I agreed to, silently.

Lily Ferrer, she's quite something. A transferee and is already the center of attention.

I sighed. "Ah! I'm sorry! I forgot! It's my training time!" Allison suddenly blurted. "Oh? Then what are you still idling for?"

Allison gave an apologetic smile "Ugh just when I finally got to bond with you again. What a bad timing. I'm so sorry Helema, but I promised, I'll make it up to you next time. Bye!"

Allison hurriedly bid her goodbye and ran as fast as she could. I shook my head and chuckled.

My gaze landed on my feet as I was kicking the pebbles below me. Feeling bored by this little actions, I raised my head and my eyes landed on a familiar figure.

My heart, once again, skipped a beat. Cadis Rahiro. His aura is really to oppressive that it makes me hard to breath. Thinking about how that Lily was able to face this guy head on made me admire her.

It was quick and almost unnoticeable but I met his cold gaze. My reflexes made me avert my gaze as soon as it met his. I really can't stand this aura of his. I bit my lower lip and quickly left the place.

My steps were unsteady and my knees are somewhat weak that I almost stumbled unto someone. I frowned as I tried regaining my composure. "Are you alright?" A cold voice sounded close to my face. I froze and lifted my head.

"President" I mumbled as I immediately took a step back.

Wow, if luck has it! Of all the people, why does it have to be this man? If I can't stand the sight of Senior Rahiro, I must say I can't stand getting close to President Cloydd.

"Yes. Just now, I'm sorry, I wasn't looking"

I said as I hang my head low. "En. Be careful" He answered and left. I turned my head and watched his retreating back. I pursed my lips and sighed.

"It's the day already?" Pops asked as he sipped on his cup of coffee. I nodded and sat beside him. Today's the day of the tournament and I woke up earlier than usual so I got enough to time to savor my breakfast.

"Yeah, fortunately it was organized well. I'm just hoping, nothing will happen" I said before drinking my glass of milk.

"En. Anyways, is Allison going to compete too?" Pops asked. Allison had been to this house several times already and pops already met her so he know her. "Yeah, I just hope she'll do well later"

"That's for sure. Are the new comers that strong? Or so so?" I tilted my head and nodded "Yeah, there are potential strong competitors but we'll see"

As soon as I finished my breakfast, I bid my goodbye to pops and headed to Helios. I ate a lot today because I know I will be needing a lot of strength for laters event.

Upon arriving in front of the institution, I stepped out of the car and my gaze roam.

It's quite lively already. It's rare for the students to be at Helios this early so I kinda got surprised.

Though this Tournament will run for almost a month, being early on the first day is really fun.

I headed towards the technical room where we're supposed to gather. We'll both have our entrance together, except for the treasurer, secretary and PIO.

From here, I can hear the loud cheers of the crowd gathered inside the Arena that even though I am not a participant, just those cheers gaves me excitement.

"It's about to start, shall we?" Lucas spoked. I smiled and nodded my head.

Lead by Pres Cloydd, with me on his left side, one step behind him and the 3-man PAO Commitee behind Lucas who stood beside me, we made our way to meet the students of Helios Institution.
