「 WaKe uP zErO 」 called by the voice so I woke up. I found my self lying in the white crystal floor. I stood up and saw a long table and chairs Opposite to each other. Because of curiosity I walk to the table and saw numbers in the chair. 'Wait. Don't tell me.' as I said that in my mind, I inspect all of the chairs and as expected I saw this 'One' number facing all the chairs, I feel that this chair is the leader's seat. As I stood up here staring in the chair the familiar voice I always hear speaks.
「 oH YoUr AwAKe. 」 the voice speak in my mind. "Who are you?" I asked.
「 U cAn CalL mE oNe 」 It said. I point in the chair. "Um..Is This Chair... Yours?" I stopped for a while before continuing what im asking.

「 ThaTs RIght. 」
"Did they have the same power like me?" 「 nO. evERy RePrEsenTAtive HAvE THeIR oWNed REceIved CRystAL 」 the voice explained.
My eyebrows raised as I heard the explanation. "Wait. Received? But I Didn't receive any---wait. Don't tell me at that time when Im drowning and dying. The Green light that pierced through me is the piece of the CU^BE's Heart!" I screamed.
「 THatS riGHt 」 answered by the voice.

「 A RUlEr to bE exAcT 」
I sighs. "Thats a lot of pressure and Responsibilities"
「 yEs. yOu CAN sAy it LIkE thaT 」
I Scratched my forehead and slowly lean my back in the chair. I look at the chairs while counting. "**So we are expecting 11 more representative to come"

「 ThAT Is WhERe ThE OppoSiTE Of U SiTting 」 I Frown. "Opposite of mine? You mean. Death?" I asked.
「 ThaTs RIghT. ThE jUDgE 」

"Elemental? you mean elements like. Fire, water, air and earth?"

"oH.OKAY" I said even if I still don't understand what is happening but yeah at-leas am not clueless. "Um.. how is the trial done? A person come here and the 12 representative will talk about the person life?" I asked

「 A MOmMy If yOU wAnt 」
One teased me.
I rolled my eyes as I sigh. "fInE So. Am I going to greet them wearing this?" I asked. 「 nO. 」 the voice said as I feel a sudden wind flows in my body. I saw my uniform change into a big White cloak with black diamond design that helps me to hide my whole body and a hood that can cover my whole face.
I Hold down the hood cause I cant breath. "Is this necessary?"
「 DoNt ASk. JusT fOlLoW. yOu NeEd TO bE a GooD imAGe FoR othERS as A dADdY 」
"ha-ha thats so funny"
I wear back my hood.

「 Of coURse NoT. bUt. 」 One stopped.
"But?" I continued.
「 BuT If THeY wANt TO taLK To yOU. THat IS. 」 I continue to stay quiet for a while, same with One. Suddenly a bell rings.
"Whats that?" I asked. 「 A sOuND Of A BeLl 」 again I rolled my eyes. "For what?"
「 AlaRm If SomEONe Is ALreadY hErE 」
One answered so I nod my head. 'Is it going to start? ' I asked one in my mind.
「 YEs. ThEY'rE hEre 」 as One answered in my mind. A person wearing a black cloak with white diamond design entered. He/she sits in front of mine. 'Hey one. May I ask Again?'
「 WhAt? 」
'How did they know about this place? should not they panic as they being summoned here out of nowhere' I calmly asked One without moving an inch.
「 ThEy Are NoT tHe SamE aS You 」
'Are you saying that Im a latecomer?'
I shockingly asked One in my mind.
「 YoU cAn Say it liKeTHat 」 One replied.
I close my eyes as the other 10 Representative entered and sit in their assigned chairs. All of us stay silent like we are waiting for something. No one dare to speak or move. We stayed silent for almost 5 minutes. Suddenly One talk to me 「 yOur ThE hOST 」 I almost choke. 'I-Im the host?' I shockingly asked One. 「 JusT TAlk 」 One ordering me "h-How?" I nervously asked.
「 aCt LiKe A PrO. lEt YoUr OmINoUs AUra aND kILlInG iNtENT lEAK. 」 One advised so the only thing I can do is sigh and do what one said.
"C-CU^BE Welcome all of you" I announced with a little nervousness in my heart but am letting my
「 nOtHiN' 」
I continue talking to the representatives "Attendance." I said out of nowhere so everyones head turn to me. "Representative of; and Councilor number. " I added, all of them Nod. Suddenly a hammer appears on my hand. Death the opposite representative of me also receive one. It look exactly the same hammer that government used in Court trials. I tried to smack it in the table and it makes a solid noise, suddenly The First person beside me stand up. "Representative of Pride, Councilor èr." Councilor èr said then sit-down. The other person beside him stand. "Representative of Greed, Councilor 3" I nod to councilor 3 and then he sit-down.
'Umm One. Could it be that the representative came from different country?' I asked One in my mind. 「 THats RiGHt 」 One replied so I just nod.
The other Person beside Councilor 3 stand up. "Representative of Envy, Councilor 4" he said as he sit-back. "Representative of Wrath, Councilor Go" it said as he go back to sit. Everyone continues.

"Representative of Desire, Councilor diyes"
"Representative of Void, Councilor 11"
and finally the last but not the least. "Representative of Death, The Judge. Judge douze" he said without standing. I nodded to all of them. Without standing I also introduce myself "I am the Representative of Life, The Ruler. Ruler Uno" I said.
"The First Trial of CU^BE's Representatives shall begin" Judge douze announced as he smack the hammer in the table. 'Now what am I going to do?'
「 TeLl tHeM To gIvE pRoFiLeS 」
'I see...'
I raised my head as I speak. "Profiles" I said then Judge douze smack again the table, suddenly Two piece of paper appeared in front of everyone. I stared in the paper as I picked it up. Names, Identity and other details of a person is written in the paper. 'Oh I see. So we don't summon a person here. We Just discuss about a person by a paper' I felt relieve.
「 ThATs RiGHt 」
I hold the paper and read the name of the first person. "Lidetthe Earns, Female, 17 yrs-old High school girl. Country; Great Britain. Life; misfortune. Thats all" I said as I smack the hammer in the table. 'Now what?' I asked one.
「 tElL thEM To InVeStigATe 」 One said so my eyebrows raised. 'I Thought you said Im the daddy, so its my duty to serve them. Why would I order them?'
「 YouR aRE thE onlY onE wHO SaiD yoUR thE DadDY And Of cOuRse thIS is thE dUty Of a RePrESenTative 」 One said so I just Nod.
"Investigate her whereabouts. I want Complete detail" I said, then everyone nod. "Who will be the one to Investigate?" Judge douze said.
The Person beside Judge douze raised its hand. "Councilor 11. I will voluntary Investigate." Councilor 11 said, so Judge douze smack his hammer again in the table. "Next One is Dominic Chai Lu, Male, 39 yrs-old an Office worker. Country; China. any Volunteers?" Judge douze asked. Councilor èr answered. "I will be doing that." He answered so all of us nod. 'This is a little bit awkward.' I said nervously in my mind. I heard One Laugh 「 EnD thE tRial 」 He said so I smack the table.
"This is the end of the Trial." I announced. The 10 representative stand up besides me and Judge douze. "I expect Good news" I said then all of them Bowed. As the bell rings the 10 representative are already gone but Me and Judge Douze was left behind.
'Why hes not leaving?' I asked. 「 I dUnNO 」 One answered. I Sighed. "Its been a while" Judge Douze said so I was shocked. "h-huh? Um.. what are you talking about?" I asked.
Judge Douze laugh. "Soon you will know."
He said as he disappear. I pull my hood down. "What was that?" I shockingly asked One as I lean my back on the chair because of relief. 「 I doNt KnoW 」 One answered. "May I ask again?" I called to one.
「 WhAt? 」
"All of this is supposed to be secret in the real world right?" I said. 「 ThaTS rIghT. iT wIlL bE dANGerouS iF oTHers FouNd Out 」 one said so my eyebrows frown. "Dangerous?" I asked but One doesn't answer.
I Stood up and feel a sudden dizziness "ah-AHCK WH-WHAT the Frick? not again." i asked as I lose consciousness. Once again I opened my eyes and saw a white ceiling. "Am I---" again I asked, and for the second time someone interrupt. "For the friking 2nd Time. Your not in heaven." answered by Trent so I laugh. I sit up properly and look at him.
"So this time... Did I collapse for a whole day?" I ask. Trent Groan. "nO. But this time you collapse for 2 days." He said so I shockingly look at him "For Real?!" I screamed then Trent Laugh. "Pffft--Im just kidding you collapse for 20 minutes and thats a world record of the day!" Trent said. "Thats funny." I said then groan. "So what happen while Im Out?" I asked.
Trent look at me seriously. "You wont believe this" He said so I look at him seriously. "Wont believe what?" I said in my mind as Trent looked at me, like he was looking at my soul so I just smiled at him bitterly. 'Damn... what is it now?'
I said in my mind as I smiled Bitterly.
