My Soul card is a Reaper

<strong>Disciplinary hall, Student Council HQ;</strong>

More than fifty members gathered in the hall in which forty of them belong to the disciplinary committee and the other ten from the student council. Azzy even saw eight-year-old kids in the crowd, silently standing in the line while Leo is giving a speech.

Along with the students, two more teachers are present at the meeting.

One is Exea, a grade-9 homeroom teacher who teaches the subject of Runes. She is the head of the student council. The other is the history teacher, Bishop Klaus who is head of the disciplinary committee.

Azzy wondered why this old man is the head of the disciplinary committee where the students will be punished for their actions when all he preaches for peace in the church.

"Now, with that said, let's welcome the new president for the disciplinary committee with a huge applause."

*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*

As everyone clapped, Azzy stepped forward and gave a brief introduction, "Hello, I'm Azrael of grade-8's Elite division."

As everyone clapped one more time, Bishop Klaus interrupted, "Child Azrael, you forgot to mention your soul power."

"Eh?" He was taken aback and looked at him. He didn't understand why this old man wanted him to reveal his soul power.

As the Bishop read his mind, Klaus proceeded to explain, "It is necessary for everyone to know how powerful the president of the disciplinary committee is. You can't show your combat strength to every student in the academy, right? So, your soul power will be recorded in the data every six months."

'Then, how come this Galarian King's data hasn't been changed for the past year. After all, it's only a peak-rank-4. Is it because Leo's a prince?' Azzy can't help but complain in his heart. However, he still revealed it as he never planned to conceal the number either. "264,331"

Bishop Klaus nodded and took a note in his mind. Azzy and the others didn't know that the old man had other intentions when he asked earlier.

Even though he can sense the range of Azzy's soul power, still, he can't find the exact number. He wanted to know whether Azzy's soul power is near to mid-rank-5 or not, so that, he can prepare a plan to take him out.

From the moment Azzy showed his necromancy abilities, Bishop Klaus had already decided to kill him as Necromancers are the enemies to the Church which is the symbol of the light attribute.

As a Bishop of the Church, he can tolerate dark attribute Arcana masters to some extent but not the necromancers, much less a person with huge potential like Azzy.

In fact, he was the one that suggested resigning to Leo with an excuse of how Leo must concentrate on more important things.

Luckily for him, Leo suggested Azzy's name.

The old man readily accepted it and gave the permission to put the proposal at the Principal's office.

And he felt like he was being blessed by heaven as soon as he heard from Matilda that Azzy accepted the position. Now that Azzy is the president, Klaus can be near to him all the time and carefully planned out.

After receiving the data, he decided to send it to the Church while requesting the help of an expert with soul power of at least 3 million. Klaus felt like only such a person will be able to eliminate this future threat to the Church.

Soon, the assembly is dispersed. Matilda took Azzy to their office which is located adjacent to the hall. It is a medium-sized room with a long table in the middle and chairs around it. Several monitors are wall-mounted.

Most of them are displaying corridors of the Dropout division building while five of them are showing the empty rooms.

"Most of the cases happen in the dropout division. So, we keep our eyes on them all the time." Matilda explained as soon as Azzy glanced at the monitors.

She continued, "As you can see, this is where we mostly operate from. All the other five rooms on the floor are like a prison. They are solitary rooms with only a single exit/entrance. We can keep troublemakers from nine in the morning to five in the evening.

If they don't reflect themselves and hand us the handwritten letter within a day after their release, we can punish them again for their indiscipline."

"What kind of punishments we carry out usually?" Azzy wanted to know whether solitary punishment is the only thing that the disciplinary committee will do or whether there are other punishments.

In response to the question, Matilda immediately answered, "It depends on their level of indiscipline. We normally divide the cases from one-star to five-star.

One-star cases are the ones that are considered light indiscipline like for example, getting late to the class, not completing homework, not wearing a school uniform, etc...

The first-timers will receive a warning. However, if a person does a mistake three times within a week, then, we will elevate them into two-star.

Two-star cases are the ones like skipping the classes, exams, sports activities, or festivals without permission from the teacher. Making noise in the corridor and disturb others, or argue with someone is also considered two-star. Such people needed to write a self-reflection letter of atleast 1000 words and hand it to us.

In case if they refuse to do that, they will be warned. Three warnings will elevate them to three-star. And if a student's name has been recorded in two-star for three times within a week, then, their name will be elevated to three-star.

Fighting with a student without permission from the committee, using verbal insults, interfering with teaching activities, making negative remarks about the school management in public, and challenging teachers' authority in an impolite manner, are some of the cases of three-star.

While the above two are considered light, from this level, the offenders are considered guilty and they will be given punishments like cleaning the toilets, floor, windows, etc…

Refusing the punishment from the disciplinary committee or getting caught in a similar act three times within two weeks will elevate their level to four-star.

Those who are branded with Four-star indiscipline are no doubt troublemakers.  Some of the acts include bullying the other students, smoking, and kissing your partner in public, or doing indecent things within the campus.

The punishments for such cases are solitary punishment with a self-reflection letter, helping the cleaning staff on the respective weekends, and some of the above three-star punishments.

Failure to comply with the punishment or repeating it three times within a month will elevate the situation into five-star.

And finally, the five-star case… Those who reach five-star are no longer simply troublemakers. They have the potential to become a criminal in the future.

Some of the acts include extreme bullying; sexual harassment; displaying repeated violence openly against the student council members, disciplinary committee members, teachers, or staff members, etc…

For such people, the punishment is within the hands of the committee's President and Vice-president. You can hand out punishment for anything that you think is right.

Failure to comply with our punishments or repeating them three times within 3 months of times will only have one end. Expulsion.

However, the students who think these punishments are unfair can lodge a complaint at the Student council. The Student Council has the authority to pardon the guilty.

In such a case, you can put those pardoned students in a bi-annual trial where people often raise complaints against the student council, disciplinary committee, teachers, and staff members.

The case will be opened to everyone. After hearing the arguments of everyone, the Principal will pass the final judgment.

And with that said, it is also normal that these high-born nobles often get away with their mistakes.

As a fellow common-born, I want to make a suggestion. It's better not to mess with people like Leonard Light."

Azzy was listening to every word she had explained and committed to his memory so that he could hand out the punishments accordingly. However, her last sentence made him frown on the inside.

"Do you want me to look away from their punishable acts because of their birth? Seeing how these monitors are focused on drop-out division, I guess our law is only for the weak and with common born?" Azzy's cold tone made Matilda flinch for a second. He was indeed displeased by her suggestion.
