7. Hierarchy

''Hierarchy? Can I get a detailed explanation? '' Li Zhilan said with a confused face but those who saw her could only look on dumbfounded with only one word in their head- 'cute'

''The school as three main casts- The Heirs, The Richies and finally, us, The Scholarship students.'' Mu Tan, who was the first one to come out of her daze, said. Following her, the rest of them also regained their senses and continued Mu Tan's words.

''The Heirs are at the top of the food chain. The name of the cast literally explains them.They consists of only one group of people, those who will inherit their family fortunes. To be considered as part of The Heirs, one's business should be among the top 10 in the country. The rest will be considered as part of The Richies.'' Su Zhaohui said as he continued after Mu Tan.

''Speaking of The Richies,'' Hao Zhen cut off Su Zhaohui and explained, ''It's made up of those who are a member of the top 10 families along with the Heirs of the other rich families-"

"Wait! Only Heirs of rich families? Why not the rest?" Li Zhilan interrupted with her sudden question.

"Orchid, my dear. Do you think Imperial High is a school where anyone can come as they like?" Shi Qiaolian said as she faked a bright smile. "For your kind information, Miss Orchid, there are thousands of people vying for a seat out here and you are asking 'why there isn't anyone else?' well its because THEY ARE NOT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY AS THE RICHS' ARE JUMPING FOR IT LIKE HUNGRY WOLVES! Do you now understand why the 'rests' ' are not here?"

"Yes I did. Gosh... why do you have to shout for something like this?" The words which left Li Zhilan's mouth were like thunders in the ears of those who heard them, after all, how could one be so calm after hearing the competitiveness of entering Imperial High for the first time? They know it word by word, but they still can't say something like this so calmly.

"Guys, will you continue?" Li Zhilan said as she waved her hands infront of the items to bring them back to reality.

The first one to snap out this time was Hao Zhen. So he continued the description of the casts whilst being in a somewhat disturbed manner."The last cast is us, The Scholarship students. We are the lowest among the casts and also have the lowest population. Only 5 exceptional students are admitted each year. These students should not just be good, instead they should be the crème de la crème of the textbook education. Apparently we are talking about ourselves. Anyway back to topic, these five students should not drop below top 5 except for us, we have to be in top 6 though that doesn't make any change as scoring above Qi Longwei is a feat deemed impossible, sigh... Let's go back again, if the five scolarship students fail to keep their ranks, they have to leave the school. That should be about all about the cast system in our school. Oh... and I hope you know how casts work. The strong, that is, The Heirs are the hunters, The Richies are protected pets and The Scholarship students, that is us, are the preys."
