After observing the training of the wrestling team, the bell that marks the end of the recess rang.
Marie returned to her classroom, accompanied by Suzie and Naolin; when they arrived, they took their seat and prepared to receive the next teacher.
To Marie's surprise, a woman entered who appeared to be in her 30s but had a large scar on her face that crossed from her left eye to her right cheek.
"Good afternoon, young people. I am your teacher in Arts and history.
You can also call me Lieutenant Xanat before you ask me I will answer the question you ask me most."
Xanat pointed to his scar on his face "This scar I got while I was on patrol in the mountains with my battalion and we were ambushed by a gang of criminals.
It reminds me every day that life can end at any moment, so the best way to enjoy the life is by doing what you love. "
With a smile on his face, Xanat approached the board and began to write in large letters. Theater play.
"The project of this class by the end of the school year will be to make a theatre play. The story you have to interpret is a version of the Oedipus story but with animals.
It is good that you know how to use weapons, but you must also know how to act because it is important to maintain your appearance in a world of lies.
Remember that it is up to you to stay alive or die in this chaotic world. We as teachers only teach you how to travel your path depends on following it.
Now we are going to choose the characters for that. I will write them down on the board, and you will say if you want to interpret them. "
Marie scratched her head and tried to remember where she had heard that story before it was not until she looked at her sister in the courtyard she could remember.
While she was writing on the board, she could see one of her students who was raising his hand from the reflection of the board.
"Tell me, little one, how can your teacher help you."
Marie smiled "I think I know the story of Oedipus. I once heard it from my dad the day we slept in the countryside because our house flew through the air.
The story is the one who talks about a father who takes his son to the oracle and tells him that his son will assassinate him, and then he will marry his wife.
After that, the father can't kill his son, so he abandons him.
Oedipus survives and grows in another family and finds his dad by accident and kills him. After this, he marries to a woman and has children.
But then Oedipus will realize that he married his mother and will take his eyes out.
Next, he wanders his daughter's hand until he dies in a forest. "
Xanat nodded. "I like you, little girl. Can you tell me your name, since you just earned a point for knowing the story.
I will also allow you to choose the character you want to play. "
Marie was glad. "My name is Marie teacher, and I want to play the bear doctor who regenerates Naolin's eyes."
Naolin, who was bored looking at Hexe through the window, only heard his name but paid no attention, so he just said: "Whatever Marie wants, I agree."
Xanat asked Naolin, as he looked at him doubtfully. "You're sure you want to play Oedipus at that level Naolin, your eyes will have to take them out."
Naolin then frowned, but when he looked at his teammates, he noticed that they looked at him with admiration.
At that moment, Naolin grown to transform his body into an adult and put his hands in his eyes and pulled them out, exposing their empty basins.
Without much effort, he broke the muscles that support his eyes.
Then put your eyes in your mouth to start biting as if it were a snack.
Xanat began to applaud as tears came from his face "Excellent interpretation of cannibal Oedipus, you have a great future at the theater, Naolin."
At that moment, Marie got up and put her hand on Naolin's forehead.
Naolin, on the other hand, could feel her eyes grow again surprisingly; in just a few seconds, he opened her eyes and could see clearly.
After that, he goes back to their normal age.
Xanat started clapping louder while a big smile formed on his face "Is perfect.
I think we can really interpret the deaths.
It will be a work that can not be forgotten even if it may be prohibited in the future, but that does not matter; the beauty of the blood must be seen by all.
It is not something that should be hidden because life itself is a sign that violence is part of society.
But now the real question is who wants to play the rabbit's father of Oedipus. "
A boy who had freckles raised his hand, "I'm willing to be the rabbit dad, but it won't hurt to be stabbed."
Xanat shook his head. "Don't worry, we will use special effects only in the case of Naolin is special.
We want them to ban the work, not to put your teacher in jail.
Only sometimes, your teacher has crazy attacks a little caused by ambush injuries.
In your case, a harmless soft plastic knife will be used, which will not harm you; of course, in your class of firearms with Professor Joseph, you can learn to use anything as a weapon.
Very well, who wants to be the mother cat of Oedipus. "
Suzie raised her hand, "I want to be the mother cat."
During the rest of the class, all the papers of the work were distributed, and those students who did not have papers were put as extras.
The only modification to the Oedipus story was that when Oedipus' poodle version tears out the eyes, the fairy bear will appear who will heal Oedipus and forgive him for the actions he committed.
This mainly because Xanat wanted the story to have a happy ending.
Unfortunately, before they could continue, the bell at the end of the class rang, and all the children had to sit back to receive their last class of the day.
Professor Xanat said goodbye to her students and opened the door to let the next teacher pass a dark-skinned woman who was wearing white cloth clothes and a beautiful headdress of quetzal feathers.
The teacher took the lead of the group and introduced "Good afternoon, I am your Toltecayotl teacher."
