Chapter 233 - The Almighty School (7)

"If you wish for us to help you, you should introduce yourself first," the student seemed displeased that I had disrespected them from the lack of time.

"I am Rika, the fiancée of Luke de Roselia who is the heir to the Roselia family," I placed Luke's name out there, hoping his family name would do something.

I slightly bowed to apologize as I wondered if etiquette was really important in these kinds of situations. If they didn't help, wouldn't it endanger all of us equally?

"And I am Yulian de Impalia Magnolia. The leader of the Impalia fraction." He studied my reaction to his introduction.

"So are you willing to help?" I directly asked.

"You don't want to know more about my fraction?" he appeared taken aback.

"I'm not into this politics thing like my fiancé is," I was starting to get nervous if he was going to decline.

Although I wasn't interested in fractions, if he was the leader it meant if he agreed to join, he would be bringing much more people with him. The more people, the better.

"The Impalia fraction is almost as equally powerful as your fiancé's fraction," he threw out.

I walked away to ask another person. I had no time to admire how powerful his fraction was. This time I asked a lady who watched our conversation like she was watching a TV show. Her emerald green eyes sparkled with interest that resonated with me somehow.

"Please help us," I faced her with my pitiful eyes.

"You know I'm the partner of the person you first asked for help," she looked up to me from her seat.

"I don't care about your partner, but in your answer," I replied.

"You really don't care about fractions, do you?" she reached out to grab my hands.

I shook my head, "I care about staying alive. If you're dead, fractions are irrelevant anyways."

"Fractions only help the members inside them. If you want us to help, you'll have to join our fraction," she explained.

"Then can I join?" I snuggled up to her.

I really didn't want to join another fraction, but if it was what it took, then I would join another one. Worst case scenario, Luke would take my place later like what he did in the neutral fraction. And if they weren't just bragging about how powerful their fraction was, we would gain as many capable fighters as a result.

"Do you know what our Impalia fraction is?" she didn't fall for my pitiful eyes.

I shook my head, "But a fraction where a beautiful and generous older sister with a big heart who is willing to help us out must not be a bad one?"

So quickly give me an answer if you'll let me join and help us out in return for my sacrifice!

"Once you join, you'll be with us forever," She stroked my messy hair while sensing my lack of patience.

"I don't care!" I interrupted her.

"As long as the barrier doesn't collapse, we can talk about it afterwards," my eyes glistened to show how the urgent situation was.

She threw a glance to Yulian like she had made her decision, "then welcome to the Impalia fraction."

"So you'll help?" I tried to confirm from joining her fraction.

"I told you that people in our fraction help each other out," she smiled.

I tightly hugged her as she gasped from surprise, "please meet me in the gymnasium after I recruit more people."

"Well, if it is the Impalia fraction, I guess we'll join in as well," another person volunteered.

"Us as well!" Another person joined in.

"Is everyone here in the same fraction?" I wondered.

"It's only me, you and Yulian in the Impalia fraction," she revealed everyone else was in different fractions.

Was this the influence from being a part of a truly powerful fraction? I didn't feel it when I was with Ben or Luke. But the Impalia fraction was different. I didn't need to ask anyone for help as they headed towards the gymnasium after finishing their meal. No wonder everyone was obsessed with amassing power in the first district. It made your life a ton more convenient when you needed help.

"Let's go to the gymnasium, Yulian," she called out to him after he finished his meal.

"By the way, you never introduced yourself," I asked her as we walked together.

"Oh my, I forgot. I am Claire de Impalia Magnolia," she whispered into my ear when we were near the venue.

"And we're here," Claire held my hand to make sure we wouldn't separate inside the large crowd.

She familiarly led the way to the stage with Yulian who seemed displeased behind us. I waved at the others already on the stage while the people they recruited were below us, standing in an orderly fashion. The three most powerful fractions mingled together before turning to face me with Claire and Yulian.

"Claire?" Lucius appeared a bit shocked.

"I thought you didn't help anyone," he soon switched into his composed face.

"You know we only help the people in our fraction," she smiled.

"Let me introduce you to my newest member, Rika who is the fiancée to your younger brother," she nudged me in front of her.

"No wonder there were triple the number of people we expected," Ben stared at the crowd of people below us.
