Divinity: Against The Godly System

"What do you want me to do?" the Dean asked Ryder.

"Is your daughter here today?" Ryder inquired as he glanced at the man.

"Yeah, She should be in her class now," the Dean replied.

"Good. You need to call her and tell her what I tell you," Ryder said as an amused smile covered his face.

Misha was the daughter of the Dean of the University of Dreamers.

She had everything one could ever need—a rich father, money, reputation, and power on campus.

Most of the students on the campus knew that she was the daughter of the Dean. She was the one that never hid it. She got a free pass to do anything on campus.

She was the campus queen and also considered one of the prettiest girls of the campus, along with a few other girls. There was an unofficial Ranking of most beautiful girls on the campus. No one knew who started this, but it had become a legit thing throughout the years.

Misha was ranked 3rd on that ranking right below Alice and another girl.

She and Alice shared the same class.

Misha was sitting in the class when Alice entered her class. She was surprised to see Alice here. Her father hadn't mentioned that she was out of prison. The Dean hid what happened on the campus with Ryder from her.

"You are back? Did you use the name of your rich boyfriend to get out of prison? Cheh, I should've expected someone like you to come out," Misha commented as soon as Alice walked past her.

Many people heard her words, and a lot of them even started laughing.

There was another girl in the class. She was Alice's friend that told Ryder about her being arrested.

She was about to stand up to say that her brother was a big person. She had seen how Ryder's single call made the top lawyer in the city come to the police station to help her.

She wanted to inform everyone to shut their mouth, but Alice stopped her.

Alice didn't want to extend the drama as it had already become big enough. She sat beside her friend.

The teacher was still not here as there was some time in the first class.

Misha was about to repeat something when her phone started ringing.

"Father?"

Misha was confused about why her father was calling her at this time. Generally, he only called her when things were really serious.

"Hello?"

"Misha, are you in class right now?" the Dean asked.

"Yes, Father. Did something happen?"

"There has been a problem. Do you remember that you had been in an argument a few days ago? The girl we had arrested?"

"Yeah, That girl is in the class right now. What about her?"

"We were wrong. You were wrong. That girl is not poor. She is from a very big family, but she detested using her the money to show off, and that's why she hid it from everyone. I found out that her brother is a really big guy. The police that were on our side are now on his side, and they are planning to file charges to arrest you. Her brother has also sued me. We are in deep trouble," the Dean said. His voice sounded, really scared.

Misha, for the first time in a long while, felt fear. She realized that if her father was acting like this, then things were really serious

"I-is there nothing we can do?" she asked.

"I got my lawyers involved, and they are saying that the chances are that we will lose if this thing goes to court. We will lose all our money, and I will lose all my reputation. I might even be fired from my job, and you will be arrested. This... I don't know what to do anymore," the Dean told her.

While the Dean was talking to his daughter, Ryder was sitting in front of him. His feet were resting on the table in front of him while he enjoyed the spectacle.

Misha was starting to sweat as she heard everything. She didn't doubt her father's words. She knew that they were in deep trouble now. For the first time in her life, she was regretting doing something.

If what her father was talking about actually happened, then she will lose everything. She couldn't even imagine how she would survive being poor.

"F-father, I'm really sorry for causing this problem. If the legal way doesn't work, then let me try asking for forgiveness from her. I... She might ask her brother to forgive us if I try hard," Misha said. Even though she knew what she wanted to say, she still stuttered. She never imagined herself saying such words.

"That would solve everything. Please, Misha, Everything depends on you now," the Dean said before he disconnected the call.

"Good work. That should be able to make her realize her mistakes. Now, as long as she apologizes to Alice, everything would be solved. After that, you wouldn't need to see my face, and similarly, I wouldn't need to see your face, as long as nothing like this happens again," Ryder said

The phone was on speaker, so he heard everything Misha said. He was sure that half of the mission was already done.

He should be getting the notification of the mission being successful pretty soon.

****

Back in the class, Misha was still wondering how to do it. She had never apologized to anyone in all her life. Her feet were not even listening to her.

After much struggle, she stood up. She walked towards Alice.

Misha looked at Alice, who looked back in confusion.

"C-come with me," Misha said.

"Are you still trying to escalate things? Can't you stay content with what you already did to her?" Alice's friend stood up for her.

She didn't want things to go as far as last time. She tried to stop them from talking.

"I have something to talk to her about. It's about my family and her brother," Misha said. "We are going to have a normal conversation. Don't interfere."

Alice stood up as she heard that.

"It's alright. Let me go talk to her," Alice told her friend before she left with Misha.

They both walked out of the class.

"What about my brother?" Alice asked in confusion.

Misha opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out of her mouth. She didn't know that it would be so tough, especially when she watched Alice looking at her.

"I-i'm sorry for what I did. I was wrong for acting like that and blaming you. Please forgive me for everything that I did," Misha said as she bent her body forward and bowed before Alice.
