"..."
Silence filled the room then laughter filled in with fluttering words then came then and there.
"Good one,"
"Nice joke now a real intro please,"
"Then I'm the king of mars,"
"Your funny,"
As expected no one took this guy seriously. And it seems he didn't either.
"You heirs are always so skeptical, sigh guess I shouldn't have expected anything."
The laughter slowly subsided and I doubt any respect for him was built up during this session, may as well of been knocked down.
"Forget about that then why don't we start our lesson with some information."
He still remained regal and had dignity as if the previous laughing didn't happen.
We didn't know when this because a students teacher time but it just had and before we knew it all of us had chairs and tables of our own with blank lined books open to the first page and pencils in hand ready to take notes. Guess things just turned out that way.
Althgar or Mr Daemon (I prefer Althgar) was out of his chair and was slowing pacing back and forth. He was wearing an old style robe that added to the image and the sunlight that shone on his side accented his sharp facial features. This altogether made him look even more of elven ancestry even though we all knew that it was non existent. A thing of fairy tales but one could not help but make the connection.
I scratched my head as I thought about it. My own hair was white blonde but leaned more so towards blonde. Must of been a rare albino.
The lesson started.
"The Deos Terrae, as you all know I am the head of this organisation which practically runs the world. You 5 are part of the three families that are in this organisation and thus have come of age and are all worthy of receiving information about this elusive group that you will all be part of one day."
I tried to suppress a yawn, he sounded like an old man. Then again I bet he was one. This man. I've heard about him before. My parents have mentioned him once when I accidentally eavesdropped. He was a dangerous man of mysterious upbringing, he didn't belong to any of the 3 noble families yet he is the one that commands all three. His background is a secret and how he came to be head is not commonly known. The reason he hasn't been overthrown yet is because the heads of the families all have brains and know that if he was to be overthrown the three families would be thrown into chaos because of the fight to the most powerful position available on an international level. When he said he was the king of earth it technically wasn't a lie though it was a little arrogant of him to say so as that's not the proper title. Saying your king of anything these days is considered arrogant as the era of kings and knights has long ago past us.
"Our goal is the keep the world moving without any slowing down. Since this is an educational class we will need to do some paper work and not hear me lecture you all day and let you have my words hit a dead ear, isn't this right Little Coltus. Now write a report, one that's fit to give to Mr Osamu Higashi. The report will be on 3 ideas on how to keep the world moving. You have 2 hours starting, now."
I was not paying attention that whole time and I normally don't get caught with it. The cloudiness in my eyes aren't there when I daydream so it should feel like I'm paying attention. Ahh, you am I kidding there's no way I can fool this man. If I could so easily he wouldn't be here today. He use Yuuta's dad because currently he's the highest standing CEO at the moment. Reports that catch a CEO's interest at first glance are the best ones and usually the ones that get chosen to be taken upon, usually one has about 30 seconds to flick through one report so I just need to make the titles important first,
2 hours should be plenty of time. I just needed my laptop. Too bad it's back at the school so now we have to do things by hand. I have fallen so low in my life.
"Sir could I please work on a laptop?"
I dared to ask and as soon as I said laptop all heads went up. I see they want one too.
"You can all go back to your dorm to collect your laptop. Quick quick."
He shooed is out the room and we ran until we were out of sight. Then we strides slowly towards the school. Looks like none of us want to do the report. Can't blame them, report writing is the most boring thing in the business world if u ask me.
"Sooo, he's an interesting guy,"
Why do I always feel like the most talkative one? Then again I can always count on Eleanor to answer when the tiger twins are thinking and Dominic is busy ignoring me.
"You should say that in such a tone one might mistake for mockery, he's the mysterious head of the Deos Terrae. Don't you want to know more about this supposed king?"
She does make a good point and to add to that the pout she make when she reprimanded my tone. Can't be refused. Am I starting to crush on her?! No no no. I'm reading to into my emotions.
"I guess,"
That was the end of the conversation as we arrived at the school and entered the old building.
We went our separate directions as we got out the laptops in our bags and each went out of the room at our own accord. Of course, mine being the furthest away I was the last one out and the one to close the surprisingly sturdy door. They were all looking at me, waiting so that I wouldn't get left behind. Isn't that sweet?
We went back through the undergrowth and didn't forget to run when we got in sight of the castle window.
We went in to find the elven king sitting upon his throne once again, in the same position we first saw him in as he looked amused and looked at each one of us.
"No need to run the last stretch, you could've just walked like you did for the rest of the trip,"
I purses my lips at the true accusation but kept silent and didn't dare glance at the others while in his sight.
"Well then let's restart the lesson."
He hurried off the throne with two hands pushing off the armrests then groaning like an old man. At that though my stupid mouth ran again.
"Old man,"
I muttered, but just because I muttered it doesn't mean the others didn't hear. We went into a fit of suppressed laughter and earned a questioning looked from the approaching Mr Daemon. The lesson continued on.
