The old man noticed the awkward atmosphere in the room and decided to change the topic. "It seems that you are in a vacation, Mr. Harry."
'Vacation?' Rey was taken aback. "Y-yes, I am in vacation. I sneak out from and comes here. Unfortunately, I was slipped and then Mr. Fu saved me."
'I know it.' Luo Zi cried in his heart for guessing the 'truth'. "Then, I hereby welcome you to this village. Let's enjoy the meal, Mr. Harry."
"Yes." Rey began eating the meal in 'noble's' way. 'Thankfully I had watched those videos of how those royalties eat.' The moments the food entered his mouth Rey was in thought. 'What is this.. Wasn't the food here should be better than my mom's cooking. Its hard and tasteless. Why hasn't cooked properly?' He grumbled in his heart. Rey reach the glass made of bamboo to drink the water, but he was chocked.
"What happen, sir?" Luo Di was the first to response, while Luo Zi and Luo Fu has worried look in their face.
"Ehem, is this wine?"
"Yes, was this not to your liking."
"No, I just never drink before."
Hearing this, Luo Do response was fast. "I will go get some water, sir." Luo Di went out and look for water.
"M-Mr Harry.."
"Its fine, Mr Fu." Rey tried to smile and ease their worried look.
The moments Luo Di arrives, he handed the water with bamboo glass to Rey. Rey accepted the bamboo glass. The atmosphere eased after Rey continue to eat the meat in the table. The villagers continue the conversation with Rey. After the conversation, Rey has some general ideas about this world.
Green planet was magic and warrior civilization. They were divided into level with the strongest recorded in Green Planet history was Level 57 King of Light. The level 1 was the weakest the level 2 was stronger and so on and so forth. Mage was the occupation where someone absorbing the spiritual power around to nourish their inner core inside their soul. Inner core was the symbol of mage. A mage should form their inner core in their soul before becoming an official Level 1 mage. The mage who has not form their inner core was called Mage Apprentice.
Mage was divided into several elements namely, Fire, Ice (Water), Earth, Wind, Lightning, Light, Dark, and Wood. Mage could become stronger by absorbing the beast core found in every beast in the world, but a fire mage should not absorb ice type core. Every mage could absorb beast core that has the same elements as them.
Warriors were the one who have strong body. They nourish their body with the spiritual power around. They also divided according to the weapon they mastered. Sword, Axe, Bow, Knife, etc. Warriors could also absorb the beast core, but it was not as effective as mage. To get a better effect from the beast core they should go to pill master and transform the beast core became the pill core, a pill that more effective for warrior than the beast core.
To get a beast core, someone needs to kill a beast. A fire type beast will give you a fire type beast core. The higher level of the beast would also have the higher level core. Some animal were not considered beast, such as small insect and any other animals that could not hurt human. As for chicken that the five was talking about, its's considered as lvl 1 beast, but if Rey was not careful then the level 1 chicken might kill him. So, a chicken in his world could be that dangerous.
A warrior will win one on one battle with a mage in the same level. It was because warrior was fast while mage have weaker body and need time to casting their spell, but mage was more respected than a warrior because they were rarer. A little village like Luo village may have thousands of warriors with no single mage around because the resources to cultivate a mage was way bigger than cultivating a warrior. A mage also needs a mentor to guide him/ her in the path of magic which Luo village does not have.
Another occupation that were respected in this world were blacksmith and pill master. They were rarer than mage and warriors. As for the information about blacksmith and pill master, the only thing Old Luo know was that Blacksmith were the one who made weapon while Pill Master the one who made a pill. There are other occupations in this world that Old Luo does not know since he was just a chief of small village. So, Rey need to discover it by himself slowly.
As for the power of human in this planet was divided into two, the Zenith Empire that has the culture similar to Republic of Dawn and Sun Empire that has the culture similar to Kingdom of Sakura. There are other races in this planet which make Rey interested. There are Elves, Goblin, Dwarf, and other races that Old Luo ignorant of.
The three was confused by Rey's enthusiasm and could not help but to ask. 'Weren't you supposed to know better than us? Aren't you a noble?' For this question Rey only give an embarrassed look and 'explain' that he does not like to learn about it before and only fooling around for the past years. The three nodded upon realized the 'truth'.
The Luo village belongs to Kingdom of Zhu, one of the Sun Empire's subordinates. The nearest town from Luo village was the Blue Town. They could reach the town with the village's carriage. They will go to the town when the skin from the beast they hunted was full in the carriage. Mostly, the skin will be trade for salt and some medicine. Sometimes they would choose money or grain for the skin.
At this moments Rey was full. He ate a lot of meat today but not as much as trio in front of him. They were monster and looking at their muscles, he come to realization. The meat was not tastier than what his mom cooked for him, but Rey still enjoy it since it was free.
He bade farewell to the villager but stopped by the chief. The chief gave him a hard thing that covered in banana's leaves. Rey put the gift to his bag and made his way to the forest. After several minutes, Rey looking around and make sure that no one was following him and then close his eyes.
"Travel."
200 meters from where Rey was standing. An old man was looking at him. This old man was shocked when noticing Rey was disappeared in the blink of an eye. The old man was the chief of Luo Village, Old Luo. He was a strong Level 3 Warrior. No one on earth would be able to defeat him in battle. His five sense has been enhanced so he could clearly see the way Rey disappear.
The old man frowned and sighed. 'Teleportation spell. As expected, he is from those high ranked noble family. Only those high ranked noble could do teleportation, but this young man is not a mage yet. So, this must be a high ranked magic device! Luckily we are not offending him in some way.' The old sighed once more and made his way back to the village.

City of D
Rey was tired. He placed his bag down. Put off his shoes and sit in his bed. He looks at his clothes and frowned. 'I was really dirty. I need a shower, I guess.' Rey was not worry about his clothes, because he washes them himself. So, his parents do not have to worry about his dirty clothes and complain about it.
Rey was so tired. After the shower, he threw himself to the bed and went to sleep.
"Brother wake up. Dinner is ready."
"Yes yes yes." With his sleepy eyes he went to the dinning room and have a dinner. His parents are not questioning about why he is not eating his lunch, because most of the time Rey would skip lunch and having lunch outside. After the dinner, Rey lay on his bed. Honestly Rey was a little disappointed by the fact that he could not find any ginseng today. After thinking and recalling the adventure before then continues to sleep.

January 6, 2018
After breakfast and morning routine, Rey was ready to go to school. Today was Monday, usually he would not be energic, but today unexpectedly Rey was really spirited. He feels that his body full of energy so that he thinks that he does not have to take a Bus. He felt that running to the school was easy and would not make him tired at all.
Rey still take the Bus with his sister, because he does not want to get people attention. What would people think about a young man running for 15 KM in the morning. Some scientist might knock his door for some 'tea'. He would never want to do that. So, he acts normally, just like the other days.
