Chapter 5 - Hirth and Mageforce

Josep POV

The next morning, I woke up with a refreshing feeling from my new sturdy body. After doing a couple of small stretches, I prepare for my lecture in the morning.

Yesterday evening during dinner time, I noticed that the one that was going to lecture me is a new teacher. They surprised me at how fast my father called the new teacher for me.

I thought I would get the same lecturer as my brother. However, to get a new lecturer on top of that I also hear this new lecturer is a close friend of father and mother in their youth from the rumor among the staff.

After preparing and having my breakfast, I go to my study room to meet my lecturer. In front of the room, I stopped for a moment because I noticed someone on the other side of the door. I feel a powerful presence inside the room even if she tried to hide her power and aura.

At just a moment, I feel a little bit threatened and want to run away because of my old habit. However, I brushed off this feeling as I know this mansion is very safe. She must be the new lecture that father called.

I knock and open the door. I saw beautiful women with red hair and red eyes in knight suits and skirts sitting in chairs while reading a book.

Truthfully, she doesn't look like a combatant woman if not for her knight suit. If not because of her stance that could react to any sudden event I will believe she is just a beautiful woman trying to act tough.

She has a sword in her waist. The sword is sheathed in the very beautiful scabbard but also gives a vibe of danger since I am also very sensitive to any killing and bloodthirsty stuff. Her red eyes also seem a little bit odd like she could read everything about me.

Fortunately, I have already adapted to my body to behave like a 'normal' person so she will not be suspicious about my movement and my bad habit.

In my early days as a baby, I will always show a behavior to become cautious and act like a professional killer. Always doing anything without waste movement and silently. Although this habit hardly dies down but now I somehow could restrain it when I put my mind to it.

Since I was a baby nobody really paid attention to that. However, if an outsider expert looks at this type of behavior they will notice it at once. Or this may just one of another my paranoia from my previous life habit. Still there is nothing wrong with being more cautious.

"You must be Josep, I hear you are only three years old but you have a good body for your age. You also have your father's eye and your mother's face. Well, stop standing there and hurry take your seat." Said her.

I nodded silently and took a seat in front of her desk obediently.

After that she frowned a little bit, "Hmm… amusing, Either you are a brave kid that could withstand my presence or an idiot. But, I guess you have your father's trait. I just hope you are not inheriting his idiocy as well."

"My name is Genevieve Bladehearth, you can call me teacher Gene. I will be your lecturer until you enroll in the academy." [Gene]

Then I also introduce myself in a polite manner, "Y-Yes, nice to meet you, teacher Gene, my name is Josep Temus. I will be in your care for a while." [Josep]

After that she gave the lecture while I tried to learn as much as possible. The lecture will consist of morning sessions and afternoon sessions.

The morning session topic is about language. People in this world use the Hirthine language as a universal language. I also learned that there are other races besides humans in this world.

They have their own mother language but still can use the Hirthine language as their universal language.

It was similar as English language being used as an international language on Earth. There is also a language called [old tongue] that is mainly used for the incantation of magic spells.

After the break and having lunch, we begin our afternoon session. This afternoon's session topic is about common knowledge of this world. I learn that this world is called Hirth.

In Hirth, there is absolute law that every single being has mageforce inside their body. Apparently, this mageforce is the strange energy that I feel during my meditation.

There are also 4 majority races that dwell in Hirth. These races are Human, Elf, Beastkin, and Demon. The Demon in this world is not something evil like the earthling's view.

In Hirth, Demon is a humanoid race with many special features on their body such as horn or spike. They have many different characteristics.

Some of them made them look like monsters or more like 'oni' from Earth's Japanese culture. I found some of their pictures in the books that teacher Gene gave me.

Despite their bizarre appearance, they are always born and famous with a high quantity of mageforce inside their body compared to other races.

As for elf, they have a high affinity toward nature. They also have a natural-born body that could sense mageforce easily in nature.

Although they have normal capacity mageforce since birth but because of their long life and high affinity toward mageforce, Most of them also have large quantities of mageforce.

Their body can also absorb mageforce more than any other race. Their body features are slim and elegant which make them beautiful be it female or male gender. However, unlike in the fantasy Earth-story, in Hirth, there are rarely elf races that become slaves.

As for the reason itself, teacher Gene only said that it's too early for me to know about those stuff. I am also surprised that apparently slaves in this world are not prohibited or against public norms like on earth.

On the contrary, Beast race is the only race that doesn't have too much affinity towards mageforce unlike the other race.

However, they are born with a very resilient body which can contain a huge mageforce as they get older. Even Though they don't live as long as elf race but still long enough for hundred or so years.

They also have features of some kind animal like in their body. They live in tribes and divide according to their own animal characteristics.

Human race is like the balance between all races that have average affinity toward nature, mageforce, and average body's strength. However, Human race is the largest population that dwells on Hirth.

Human race is also the one that has the most race that advances technology and civilization to cover their weakness against the other race. They are also the only one that have more advanced civilization than other races.

Beside those five major races there are also many small community races such as dwarf, goblin, and many others.

After that I found this world divide into 5 big continent such as Moskul that inhibit mainly by demon, Neviret, the heaven of magician, Tresvira, a huge forest area for dwelling of elf race, Fortunjar is where beast tribe lives, and Moreva the largest continent that mainly inhabited by human.

I learned that this mansion is located at the border of the Moreva continent and near the Tresvira continent inside a kingdom called Rosewood Kingdom.

After that, I learned there exists a being called God. Unlike on Earth that believe God according to their religion, In Hirth, God is a being or existence that governs over the world. Though they can't come to Hirth but they still influence it.

They can choose their champion to do their bidding in Hirth. Mainly, there are 8 Gods in Hirth which is consist of 4 good God and 4 evil God.

These good Gods consist of God of nature and life called Servira, God of wisdom and prosperity called Argareth, God of peace and love called Mirva, and God of soul and balance called Relustor.

While Evil Gods consist of God of disaster and destruction called Drosvon, God of deception and betrayal called Slith, God of famine and despair called Ygmus, and God of malice and chaos called Repurtor.

After that teacher Gene's lesson continued more about mageforce. Mageforce is an essential force that is produced by nature.

Mageforce is divided into many different kinds of elements. This is also the reason why I also feel many different sensations during my meditation. I guess those different sensation is elements in mageforce itself.

Mageforce can make people do superhuman or magical things. In this world, mageforce is the source energy of everything as it can boost stamina, health and well-being. However, it is not necessary to become stronger just by having more mageforce inside one body.

Because it is only some sort of energy. A person still needs to utilize it properly to have desired effect. It needs a lot of training and talent to control mageforce.

Some legend said it is a blessing from the gods to have mageforce as energy for doing everyday life.

In the Hirth, there are mainly two categories of path that use mageforce. The first path is using mageforce for self-defense, destruction, or even killing, it is called combat path. The second path is using mageforce for daily life called extra path or ex-path.

People can have more than one path in both combat and ex-path as long as they have talent and could use its specialty trait.

The combat path mainly divides into two categories such as warriors who use mageforce to enhance their physical abilities and magicians who use mageforce as their main fuel for their spells.

On the contrary, ex-path have many kinds according to their specialties or traits. All of these paths have their own skills that categories into Lvl like in the game with Lvl 1 is the lowest.

This kind of lecture keeps going for 2 years and becomes more specific for each subject. Especially about diplomacy and history
