8 : The First Year I Pt. 8 (1/2)
In the community of EXO's, there were titles that were held by certain people. Most of the titles that were created were fan-made, but if enough people acknowledged, then they would become real.
Having a title was not just for show if you had a title you were a very talented individual.
If no one could distinguish you by your looks, they could easily do it by your EXO ability.
For a student to hold a title that was something different altogether. Having one meant that you were superior to the others in your year. It did not matter if you had an ultra-rare ability that outshined the others. If you were able to reach the top of your year, you had a title.
These titles would be known throughout all the academies. Even some EXO companies would pay attention to these students. That way after their graduation they would understand what they were capable of.
In every year, there are ten students who are given a title. They are the top ten students in their year, and no one denied that. In every academy, there were only forty students that held an official title.
Nick himself did not realize that the person he spoke with briefly was one of those people. No wonder he could feel the death stares emitting from the student's eyes at that moment.
He talked to one of the top ten students and even shook her hand. Not to mention she was an outstanding beauty.
For him a first-year student to do such a thing while most of the upperclassmen never did, caused many of them to be envious of him.
”Iliana, the queen? I didn't know she was such an amazing person. If I knew I would have surely told you.”
”Tell me, which hand did you touch her with? Quickly!”
Nick did not know why she asked him such a question. It was weird. This might just be the weirdest thing she has ever said today.
He stuck out his right hand, and Freya instantly grabbed hold of it. She rubbed her face on his palm as it seemed like she was in utter bliss.
Nick tried to pull his hand back, but her grip was like vice grips.
Freya seemed to enjoy his palm enough as she let go of it. She tilted her head sideways slightly, and by the look in her eyes, Nick could tell she was curious about something.
”Nick, are you going to do… that tonight?”
Nick furrowed his eyebrows as he quickly caught on to what she meant by 'that.'
”Only if you're joining in, then we can do that together.”
”Hey! Did you hear me?”
The young male from before placed his hand on Nick's shoulder. To him, it was like Nick and Freya completely ignored him. He was a disciplinary committee member; he was a junior. The number of people that had the right to ignore him were only those who had a higher status than him.
Nick lightly pushed off the young male's hand off of him, and the air around him seemed to drop in temperature.
”Why are you touching me? Why are you here in front of me? You should ask yourself these questions before saying anything else to me. So what I talked to another student, what does that have to do with you?”
He didn't think Nick would react in such a way if he let things stay as they were right now he would lose a lot of respect from his peers.
But he also couldn't deny what Nick had said; he honestly did not have a reason for approaching him besides him being upset at the fact that he spoke to the queen and even shook her hand. It was not like he was engaged to her or anything. So what right did he have to be upset at Nick?
Standing next to him was his disciplinary partner, she tapped him on the shoulder and shook her head. Her long wavy black hair had a natural shine to it.
Her amber colored eyes looked at Nick as she slightly bowed.
”Sorry for his behavior, that is unlike him. Usually, he is more well behaved than that. I'm Cassandra Day, Vice President of the disciplinary committee. And this young man is Dustin Holmes.”
