Chapter 144: Judging the Chosen
The next day came, and tensions were high, as the chosen one—the hero chosen by Lumis—was about to be taken to the headmistress’s office.
Riven got ready and dressed in his uniform, along with all the top ten of the class, had to be present.
He walked out of his room and down to the sitting room where the others were already gathered. They looked at him when he came in, a mix of emotions all over the place.
"Lance is already on his way to her office. Instructor Quin already came and took him," Robert said.
"So are we heading there now?" Riven asked.
"Not yet. We have to know what we’re going to do when we get there. We will most definitely have the chance to speak, and when that time comes, are we going to throw him to the dogs, or are we going to stand for him somehow?" Robert said.
Everyone pinned their eyes on Riven, wanting to hear what he had to say. Riven felt the eyes on him—it was a lot of pressure—but he had come so far to become someone they could actually respect, so he was going to rise to the occasion.
"Lance is our classmate and the second-ranked person in the first year. His actions were downright bad, and there is nothing that I can say to make them see a sliver of light in what he did.
But if today we let the case go as they want, Lance will surely be taken into custody. And as the one who is chosen by Lumis, the kingdom will most definitely force him to train, turning him into a weapon.
