003-I should have said black!

—Very good, excellent presentation, Adam— Achilles said with a smile—Do you know why you came to school?

—To get my black robe! And to be able to be a professional harvester! — Adam answered excitedly.

—That's the attitude of a true student! —said the teacher with a kind smile— To achieve that you only have to learn one language of your choice, luckily for you: I know three languages, so you're going to have many options, but as a gatherer with learning any of the 3 you should be fine.

Achilles got up from his seat and pulled out a wooden box. Inside the box were 4 books inside with covers of different colors: green, yellow, red, and black. Achilles took 3 of the books and closed the box.

He then put the three books on the table and began to explain what each one is about:

—This Green Book is good for learning the language they use on the upper floors; so it is quite useful if you plan to move upstairs. The red book is useful for traveling to the lower floors, but I wouldn't recommend studying this language. Do you know which one is yellow?

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

—Yes! —Adam replied with the happiness of a child who knows the correct answer — That is the language we use in the flats where my parents live and where the school is.

—That's right, Adam! —Congratulations the teacher — That's why this is the most useful language for you, likely, your parents have already taught you a little and that will make you get your black robe faster. Which of all do you choose?

—Yellow!— Adam yelled, somewhat impatient, to get his black robe.

The professor nodded and put the other unselected books back in the box. Then, the teacher took the book that was left on the table and handed it to Adam, while he said:

—Your first task will be to ask your parents what the first page says. Then try to understand the others using what you learned from your parents with the first sheet. But don't ask him what the next ones say! Understood?

—Of course, professor!—Adam replied, somewhat excited.

—Well—the teacher said happily, seeing such a cooperative boy— Otherwise, you can leave earlier today, but use the time you're saving by going earlier to do your homework. Good luck on the road, Adam. And the next time you come, try not to waste time flipping through books you can't read on the way. You can see the dust on your shoes.

Adam looked sheepishly at his shoes, tried to hide them with his robe, but his robe wasn't long enough to do it. With a blush on his face, Adam waved goodbye as he left the classroom, leaving the teacher alone.

—A curious young man...—The professor murmured, while Adam closed the door of the room.
