Sitting in a large courtyard all the students were being lined up and sorted out to proper teachers.
Well except for a few.
These were the throwaway classes. Farmer, and cook. They had thousands of farmers and plenty of cooks.
I was just lounging around watching the start of what I was assured was going to be a shit show.
the group looked pretty worried as they weren't getting any teachers or attention and are basically told to piss off to a corner.
I happily walked over.
"I don't think you guys will be getting any teachers." I tell the group startling them.
"Why do you say that?" a weak looking pale girl asked.
"They don't need farmers or cooks they need warriors, blacksmiths and medics they are fixing to go to war." I wave my hand towards the fully armed knights starting to teach kids how to use weapons.
"Then what will happen to us?" They asked with worry.
This was like the group of quiet kids who liked to garden and cook. All females.
"They will most likely just forget about you and you'll end up fending for yourself or you'll end up dying in a dungeon. However I have a proposition for you all." I tell them.
"What could you want with us?" the girl asks.
"Well I could use some hands on my farm and someone to help make meals in exchange I'll offer you all safety from the war." I tell them.
"Safety? How can you offer us that?" The pale girls asks.
"That's a secret." I say with a smile.
"Why can't you offer it to the others aswell?" She asks me.
"It's not my job to protect everyone besides the king would probably throw a hissy fit or something if I tried to take them away." I shrug.
"And how can we even trust you? Didn't you kill someone?" another girl asks.
"Doesn't matter to me really, you can take the offer of protection or you can just do whatever no skin off my bones." I shrug and go back to my corner and pull out some more snacks.
The teens now being trained by the Knights are absolute garbage. They barely know what part of a weapon to hold. The only good ones are the archer, the martial artist and a girl who knows kendo.
I watch as these teens get stomped into the ground and whine about everything.
Soon I have a visitor. It's the pale farmer girl.
"I accept you offer." She says quietly.
"Okay I have a lot of plants you can look after. I also have a spare room that's more homely than the castle." I hold out a hand to her.
She goes to shake it and we both dissappear into my inner world.
We are outside my house now which looks much much bigger than before.
The pale girl looks around curiously. "Where are we?" She asks me.
"Technically my soul I guess?" I still haven't figured it out exactly myself.
I walk into the house. "Cassie we are going to be having a guest for a while. She's a plant person so if she wants she can garden or do whatever."
Cassie walks out of the kitchen and gives me a quick kiss. "Yes dear there's a free guest room."
"Where are the others?" I ask her.
"Amber and Tia are watching cartoons, Your mother is feeding the chickens and Sasha and Silvia are sparring."
I walk into the living room and sure enough there's The red head goddess and little amber watching some odd cartoon.
"You better not be showing her something bad." I say tapping on the goddesses head with a finger.
"Hey she's the one who picked it out." she says stuffing her face with chips.
"And don't eat snacks all day you'll ruin you won't want to eat dinner." I say grabbing the chips for myself.
Amber turns towards me. "Hello papa are you here to watch cartoons?" she asks in her little adorable voice.
"Nope I'm here to drop someone off." I wave my hand towards the pale confused girl.
"You have a wife and a child?" She asks me.
" Three wives currently and yes I adopted her so she's mine now." I say patting the small girls head.
She just looks at me funny.
"Well have fun." I say before popping out of the world.
I'm back into my little corner of the courtyard eating my stolen chips.
Really I should cut down on the snacks or I might get fat.
Nahhhh.
everything is fine until I feel someone kick my chair out from under me.
I turn around and see a smug looking teen knight looking down on me.
He probably thinks I'm one of the trash classes and decided to come pick on me.
I stand up and brush my pants off before looking at the prick.
"There's always one of you little fucks running around isn't there? I really hate bullies." I say with a sigh.
"So what? This is what you get for picking such a secluded corner where no one can see. I always hate how everyone treats you guys like gods when your just a bunch of teens like everyone else." he sneers.
Well he sneered until my fist smashed into the side of his head.
My chain wrapped around his leg and I started to drag him to the center of the courtyard.
There I proceeded to beat the shit out of him. "If you want to be a little cunt, next time pick a proper target." I throw him towards the other knights.
"I advise you get him out of the castle before I do it permanently. Don't to have some kind of crime for people assaulting your heroes?" I ask.
"Yes it's the mines for him for quite a while." an older knight says.
"How fun, Also warn your knights not to pull shit like this anymore." I tell him.
