It had been many days since that incident, The matter of crippling those sibling fathers has been exposed to the entire village. It has also led to fear in the hearts of villagers, The villagers are also dissatisfied with how the village chief handled the matter, In their eyes, it was a family problem and an outsider shouldn't interfere in it.
Even some old fossils in our village also said that it was a such big matter we shouldn't have tried to involve in it, the father was only disciplining his children are the exact word of some villagers but it wasn't like no one supported the old man, he has lived and protected this village for years so of course there will be supporters for him.
Oh yeah, Today is also my birthday.
The old man had asked me several times whether I wanted to celebrate my birthday but after I rejected him he finally gave up, but he also gave a condition that if I want to buy something he will buy me so if I want something I shouldn't have any hesitation.
People of the village from 6-year start to learn how to write and speak their language properly, They are also taught history lessons of our content and basic common knowledge of our world.
I was very attracted to the premise of learning about the basic common sense in this world, I mean this world is a world of fantasy with knights and magic, I can't think of a single person who has not dreamed of being special and having superpowers when they were young.
I had really wanted to learn how to read like those super-geniuses in novels who have a given second chance at life but alas our house didn't have any books to read, even though my old man not be educated but at least he has some basic common knowldege of this world which is a hassle to me as he doesn't know how to use magic or any kind of superpowers in this world.
Children from 6 years old gather to learn at the center of the village under a big tree, In our village as there is only one person who is well educated all of the villager's children to learn under him.
I started to run towards the center of the village at full speed, it looks I will be late but it was not my fault as our house is at the edge of the village it takes too much time to go to the center of the village.
I quickly reached the center of the village and was relieved that our new teacher has not arrived yet, the children were making a lot of noise and I didn't find a place to sit near the tree so I just stood for the lesson.
The chaos was increasing but suddenly the crowd calmed down, The main character had arrived on the scene, he looked at the entire crowd with his serene eyes and said to us all.
"My name is Euris and from today on I am going to teach you everything you should know, I don't like troublemakers in our class so if anyone dares to make trouble in my class he will not be allowed in the class forever."
It became pin-drop silence with those words and no one spoke at all but he ignored all of this and again said to the entire crowd.
"I appreciate students who crave knowledge so students who want to learn more can come to me but if I find someone trying to come to me with some other intention then I will severely punish you and let me tell you, you definitely don't want to be punished by me!"
When he spoke the words punishment it cast a chill in our hearts, An idiot who doesn't listen to his words and breaks his rule will probably suffer.
I can't be sure what he meant by being punished but it surely is not something good, His words dismissed my intention to learn about magic from him as I have learned that in this world force is the greatest power and if he does something to me in his anger no one can actually avenge me.
I recalled everything about him to make a more clear analysis of him.
Euris is a rare name that I doubt you would find everywhere in this world, I doubt commoners will name their children with a sophisticated name like Euris so there is a high chance he is a noble, A name might not be enough evidence but the way carries himself and the graceful atmosphere is enough to say that even though he might not be a Nobel he has at least got Nobel training.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
He had come to our village 2 years ago from the capital, the village chief had welcomed him when he told him he was a scholar, after some days of observing the village he decided to teach the children some basic knowledge.
The villagers were excited at first thinking that it might create some chance for them to get out of the village and sent their children to study so they could get some kind of job in the capital through the scholar but they were disappointed when the scholar refused to this and this lead to none attending his classes.
It wasn't a surprise that no one wanted to attend his classes as in the eyes of the villagers the knowledge he taught was useless and it was better for their children to either work to earn more money or play, this also lead to many rumors about the scholar that he was fired from his job in the capital or he is a criminal fleeing from the law.
The most interesting thing about this situation is that the scholar actually offered 3 bronze coins every month to the student who was studying in his class,100 bronze coins make a silver coin and 100 silver coins make a gold coin and a gold coin could probably buy this entire village and every single person in it several times so 3 bronze coins was a huge amount for a single family.
This situation leads to every villager sending their children to the scholar to study.
I couldn't comprehend his action, he is probably a noble and has a lot of money so why he is here in a barren place where no one comes well least other than the merchant who comes near the end of the year?
I searched my memory and thought of many reasons he would come and then I couldn't find a proper reason so I decided to have less contact with this man.
I carefully looked at the man's face, he had white-toned skin, and was healthy and built with not too many muscles. White hair with silver eyes and also he was wearing glasses. He was wearing commoners clothes but even these clothes could hide his glamorous looks.
I am probably sure he is some kind of playboy after my careful analysis and it is not because I am jealous of his looks, certainly not!
As I was looking at him he suddenly turned his head towards me and I suddenly ducked to hide among the crowd, My heart was beating really fast and I waited until he started his lecture to look at him.
It might look supicious if I don't look at him and neither speak to anyone so I acted like I am friends with the guy beside me who was probably confused by my actions.
It looks like superhumans in this world can even feel when someone looks at them, which is kind of 6th sense.
All of this thinking I had done in less than 2 minutes and the scholar was probably tired after not finding me started the lecture.
"The place we live in is called the sun continent which has ten thousand years of history, this continent of ours has diverse races like elves, dwarfs, fairies, and many more but the race that stood at the top is the human race. The entire continent is dominated by the sun empire for a hundred years ago and it has successfully protected our continent from beasts and dark races that arrive from the dark continent. The entire sun continent is surrounded by the dark continent and the cruel and ruthless dark beasts have hunted our human race for countless years but this changed when a hero rose hundred years ago called D'ar Arcane, he alone led the human race to greatness and created the greatest empire in history called sun empire. He also pushed the dark races back to the dark continent and even nearly exterminated them. He is the greatest hero to ever exist and is the savior of humanity. The sun empire has protected all of us for nearly a hundred years and will continue to protect us."
The scholar had stars in his eyes when he spoke of the so-called humanity's greatest savior but I had doubts about this story as history is always written by winners. I mean why could this great hero be able to do things that no one was able to, I don't mean that a person can't grow strong enough to push the ruthless races like dark races but what I doubt is that people were able to unite so easily, humans are creatures that will have internal strives even when they are about to be destroyed.
So how did he do something like this? And I don't know why something about this story felt so familiar to me!
"The dark races are creatures who are a bunch of savages who only know to kill, the only reason they don't enter the sun empire is because of the enchantment that is put at every border of the continent"
Oh our village is at the border north of the continent according to the old man so does that mean the dark forest is the entrance to the dark continent, It also explained the fence with strange markings on it which are probably enchantments.
Our village is a dangerous place if what he is saying is true, I mean how long could a hundred-year-old enchantment last?
Wait if enchantment can be created then they can also be repaired so there is a chance that this scholar has come for maintenance of the enchantment.
"To protect our continent and our family the royal family has put a lot of expenditure on its military which has led to all of you people being able to live in peace, countless warriors have died protecting our continent so the citizens will able to live in peace"
Other than his brainwashing propaganda I have acquired some important knowledge, I was really curious why the commoners have so less money and their living standards are so low, I might not have seen other places but I heard from the old man who was kind of a small time adventure in his young days.
It might be due to excess and heavy expenditure in the military the common people are living in poverty and I doubt people who can actually do something about this like nobles would even care about us.
"The great D'ar had also created a facility to nurture and nourish young talents all over the continent irrespective of their birth origins to fight the dark races, the graduates from this university are all genius superhumans who are very precious to our continent, they are also given some autonomous power to find the traitors in our empire and punish them. The traitors who join hands with dark races irrespective of the reasons are all slaughtered. The great academy that nurtures new pillars for our empire is Arcane Academy"
Some children became scared hearing the words of the scholar while others became excited and dreamed to join the academy to become heroes but I was the only one with a pale face.
I had finally realized the world I was in, It was the world of one of the otome games my sister forced me to play, and it was the trashiest one of the bunch.
Its name was 'when they sleep', if you consider just the romantic aspect of it then it was alright but the problem was that every character in it dies.
The world of 'When they sleep" is a game in which no matter who you choose or what decision you make everyone still dies.
In a nutshell, it's a doomsday world where every creature be it human, dark races or fairies, and even angels are slaughtered.
