Life in the orphanage

Previously:

Victor and other homeless people of Tefla town were transported by marines and midway all the orphans among them were deboarded on an island on the way and were transported to the local orphanage which has building of Chinese style of Victor’s previous world.

Now:

As all the orphans are taken through large wooden door of the orphanage, what came into their view was a large open grass field with a tiled path running across it and flower patches on either side of pathway at a regular interval.

Walking on it they reached at the end which was a small square platform with wooden benches shaded by Chinese roof standing on four pillars standing on each of the sides of platform. Standing on the platform was an old man with a lean body, in his 60s or 70s.

Victor tried observing him.

[Melicas Rofle (???) lvl: ???]

Result of the Observation this old man is extremely strong.

On the other side it seems like the Old man was able to notice Victor’s gaze and shifted his eyes toward him but decided to ignore it and looked at all the kids gathered. In an audible and low voice which was filled with firmness he said,

Melicas:” I’m not a man of many words, so I’ll keep it short. You all have gathered here because you don’t have a place to call it your own and I’m here because I know what does it feels like to be homeless so I and my friend build this place to provide a place to start with and later build your own home, a place to call your and only yours. My name is Sir Rofle and I’m retired knight who worked under the King of Transill Kingdom who rule over this island and today onward I’m your dean or in your language boss of this place and your guardian. So, if there is any problem you come to me and if I’m not present my assistant will take over to whom I’ll introduce to you later. Now then follow me.”

After the long talk he turned around and signalled to of follow him.

At that everyone started following him. They moved through tilled path and reached a fountain which was large with a statue of a warship sailing on the waves, around it many kids of different age groups could be seen playing.

Sir Rofle called a man as they all reached there, turning around and facing toward the kids, he said

Sir Rofle:” Well then let me introduce to my assistant, Paul he will introduce to the rules of the orphanage and show you around. I have some work to do,” turning his face toward his assistant, “all yours.”

Paul: “Well then let me introduce myself, my name is Paul Willford and I’m the assistant of the director, who you guys just met, now then what you see behind me is centre area of the orphanage and the fountain is called warship fountain. And as you guys can see there are five identical buildings at five different corners, one in the northern direction is the dormitory which is directly opposite to the main entrance, building on its left is the canteen and building to its right is playing and studying area with the main office, southwestern building is the library in which  you will only be allowed after passing a test, and the building in southeaster direction is the gym also for that you have to pass a test..." while talking he paused a little and seeing the confused faces of the kids before him he face palmed.

Paul: “Sorry about that let me explain is simple terms, building behind me is dormitory, that is cafeteria that one is office and school, this one is library and the last one is gym. Did you understand that?"

At that everyone nodded their heads.

Paul: “Good, now then follow me."

With that he started walking and all the kids followed behind him. 

Following him they reached at the dormitory, sometime later they arrived in a large room filled with bunker beds. Paul brought all them toward some empty beds and said,

Paul: “These beds are the place you guys will live. now then everyone selects one bed for yourself."

Everyone selected a bed for themselves and Victor decide the select one of the lower bunkers.

Seeing everyone selected a bed Paul signalled them to follow him.

Following him they reached office building. The building in question was filled with many rooms and it was much larger then dormitory. walking they reached in front of room which has largest door in the building. Entering it what came into view was a luxurious room which was very well furnished, in middle of room there was a table, a very large table which was giving very contrasting feeling with rest of the room because of piles of papers on it. behind the table sitting was a man, who is none other than old man who runs this place, Melicas Rofle.

Entering in Paul spoke.

Paul:" Boss, I have showed them their rooms, now what next."

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

Hearing him speak Melicas looked up and stared at him.

Melicas: “And, did you explain them all the rules and details?"

Paul: “No boss, I didn't explain it. But what's the point they have attention span of those little kids, and if I was able to get their attention they won't understand."

Hearing that Melicas sighed,

Melicas: “Paul for your kind information THEY ARE LITTLE KIDS AND HAVE LIVED MOST OF THEIR LIFE ON STREETS, and the very reason I told you to explain them is because you have to learn to explain and teach."

Turning toward kids,

Melicas: “Well than looks like I have to explain you guys, First and for most you have to understand that in order to live here and any other thing you are interested in, you have to work for that, every single person here in orphanage is assigned some work and based on how and what type of work is done you will be awarded. Any question."

A random boy spoke.

Random Boy: “Can we get to eat as much we want if we do the work?"

Melicas: “In a sense, yes you can eat as much you want but as I said earlier you have to do some work."

This time Victor asked.

Victor: “So what work do have to do?"

Melicas: “You case select the kind of work you want to do, it will be all be listed on the bulletin board right next to entrance of the building."

Random boy 2:"But we don’t know how to read."

Melicas: “Well that is my second thing I'm going to explain to you, you guys will be taught for next two years on how to read and wright with some other things which you guys will know with time. And thing I would like tell you that while you are learning you can get free food but in limit ok."

Hearing the last line all the kids were overjoyed, because for them most important is to have something to eat and moreover they don’t have to work while they are learning.

Melicas: “And one more thing those who can complete the course early they will be given special privileges based on the result, so try to learn diligently and work hard. and Paul now you may explain the everyday rules."

Paul: “Y-yes boss, all of you kids have to wake up when you hear the loud bel in the morning and it will ring three times, and every one of you is expected to be up and clean yourself in the bathhouse. After that you will go to dining building to get the grub and gather in front of this building, from there a teacher will arrive and lead you to class classes will be till afternoon, after that you can do whatever you want but don't cause any trouble, later you will be allowed to have dinner at the next bell you hear and after having dinner you all shall go to sleep no exception."

And like that Paul patiently explained all the general rules.

Seeing this Melicas nodded his head and gave a register to Paul, signalled him to go out of the room.

Shaking it head in a nodding manner, he brought all the kids out of the room in a hurry.

Outside the room, Paul took a serious face,

Paul: “Now I want you guys to tell me your name and age, now let’s start."

Random boy 1:"My name is Boris Dig 7 years old." A black thin kid with squirty eyes.

Random boy 2:"My name is Lepro Tou 7 years old" A Blond fair skinned boy who is most clean in the group.

Random girl 1:"My name is Pily Pots and I'm 8 years old” A black haired girl fair skin and one of the healthiest in the group.

After introduction of everyone, finally came the turn of Victor who was tallest in the group and was considered the oldest well they were is for a Big surprise.

Victor: “My name is Victor D. Blaze and I'm 5 years old."

At that surprise was written on everyone’s face and gave him a stare which signify 'unbelievable', even Paul was surprised and asked to confirm.

Paul: “Are you sure you are five years old."

Victor: “Yes I'm sure, I'm so tall because I spent most of my time in jungle near the town and hunted wild animal that lived there, which in result made my body strong and tall."

Hearing that Paul also gave him an 'unbelievable' stare and noted it down.

Paul: “Now then, follow me to the dining hall."

With that all the kids followed Paul out of the building and reached dining hall. Dining hall has very open space, with three floors, divided like the society i.e. lower, middle and upper class.

Paul: “Right now you guys are only allowed to enter lower floor, all you have to do is work and climb the ladder.”

Entering the dining area, they moved toward the counter of food distribution.

With Victor being ahead of everyone they gathered full plate of food and moved toward one of the vacant tables. But were blocked by some of the bigger kids.

Random bully 1: “Just stop right there, where do you think you are going with all that food, don’t you know you have to pay for it.”

In response to him

Pity: “what do you mean we have to pay for it, Paul said we can get as much food as we want till, we learn how to read and write.”

 Random bully 2: “Oh Paul said that then you must me new kid, well then listen those rules are of orphanage, in here we have few more rules i.e. you gave to pay us if you want to eat so for the payment, we will take some food from you guys.”

Saying that they took 80% of food from everyone’s plate. While that one of the bullies took notice of Victor who is separated from group from the group.

Some Random Bully: “Where do you think you are going, now show us your plate.”

Victor: “What would you do if I don’t do that?”

Giving a sarcastic question he observed their status.
