Interesting! Fascinating! These thoughts were stuck in my head while listening to the class.
It's only been 3 hours in and the difference between this class and the previous one is massive! This is high school level in modern times! Or I guess you could say it's in a prestigious middle school level of education depending on your background but still!
This is it, this class is perfect for me. It's at the right level of difficulty. The lessons made me start to think of a lot of interesting things unlike the previous one.
Though I am more interested in something else other than the class.
From what I've heard, my sister said that this is her second time taking this class. She said she managed to finish all of the lessons faster than what was intended. She went in here again just to pass the time. That's very impressive. Maybe I could find out what to expect for the future, huhuhuhu.
It will be an understatement to call her simply a genius if she finished all of the lessons that quickly. It's the same as finishing the entirety of middle school and high school in just a year while being a middle schooler in age. That's insane to think about. Although she did say she finished it in two years, it is still very impressive nonetheless.
Now that I think about it, she is only twelve years old and eight is the expected age to start in this class. Did she manage to do all of this while still being very young? If she managed to finish everything in two years, I wonder what she did in the remaining two years after she finished learning here.
Either way, I'm more interested in this class than I originally thought. Though there is something that I don't like about this class.
They also teach history…
If it's in my previous world or this, I really can't escape from this subject, can I?
Ugh, why do I have to learn history in this world?! This is my most hated and worse subject, it's very annoying.
Though to be completely honest, since I'm from royalty, I guess it's to be expected but still-
"We are now gonna talk about the history of this world, starting from the beginning…" The teacher started talking about the history of this world with a weird accent. I wonder where he came from. Might as well learn this, since this is in another world, I should learn what I have to do to survive in this place. The more knowledge, the better.
Time passed and the more I listened to this, the more it sounds like legends and myths rather than the history that I learned from my previous life.
The whole thing can be summarized in this:
…
…..
....
The universe was nothing but a dark, black void. Full of the chaotic energy Void, preventing any life to exist. Darkness enveloped everything, not a single thing to be seen throughout the entire place.
Until in one chaotic moment, at the center of the universe, a massive explosion happened, causing the birth of the universe. Tremendous amounts of energy are scattered across the universe.
And at the center of that very explosion, created a star.
A bright blue star, the first star of the universe. Legends say that all gods came from this very star.
When this star was born, six gods appeared: The God of Creation, Light, Dark, Void, Stars, and Death.
These six gods form the Original Gods. The most ancient, highest, and strongest gods among gods. They rule over all other beings including other gods.
By the command of the God of Stars, the endless void that covered the universe was pushed out to the outer boundaries of the universe through the energy that came from the explosion. You could say that the energy of Stars made the universe exist.
However, the void is very potent, and dangerous, and destroys the very existence of creation. Therefore, the God of Void manages and was in charge of maintaining the void away from the universe so that creation may happen.
Of course, the universe is still dark and empty except at the center of it. So by the command of both the God of Light and Dark, the darkness slowly dispersed and some of the energy created from the explosion formed nebulas across the universe, making the universe have light.
The God of Creation started to form planets, dimensions, realms, and everything else until every corner of the universe was filled. Soon, life started to appear in our world.
Soon after our world was created, many more gods appeared and did their roles to sustain and create balance across the universe.
After the first beings were born, our world became filled with life and diversity and then the first death finally happened.
By the authority of the God of Death, he manages and oversees the souls of that who died. He manages everything and is in charge of holding the souls of the dead until their time has come to live again.
Soon, powerful beings started to appear in the world which was divided into three: The Demon Lords, the Holy Lords, and the Null Lords. These three are the pillars of the world that serves to maintain balance in this world.
Soon after this, many races were born from the original beings and quickly filled every corner of the world. Which meant monsters also started to appear in the world.
....
…..
…
And many, many stuff later, we are in this period now. That's the legend regarding the birth of the universe. It was interesting, to say the least.
I mean, there should be many more, and I'm pretty sure there is a lot that was missed but since this is the first lesson from history, this is more than a lot. Also, regarding that explosion thing, why is it so similar to the big bang theory in my previous world?
Though I believe all of these are true since my unique skill is confirming some of these are true. Not to mention the many great beings such as literal gods or very powerful and ancient beings that confirmed most of these tales through oracles or communication.
Not to mention the fact that this is a fantasy world, I guess stuff like that should make sense right?
After a long time, the class finally ended and I had many questions but either way it was exciting. I wanted to learn more.
After the class was over, I was signaled by my older sister to follow her and I respectfully started to follow her. I wonder where we are going. We continued to walk while having small chit-chats, mostly about the class and what I can look forward to in the future.
She sure is a talkative type, not what you are expecting from looking at her. We continued talking until we reached a large door. It was the library.
'Wow, this room should be massive then if the door is this big.'
The door opened and I was shocked at how many books are in there. I could probably spend my entire life just reading all of this. I looked around more and using my [Enhanced Eye], I see a lot of different kinds of books all around the library. I'm surprised to find novels here as well, maybe I will read them later if I have the time.
I continued to follow her to a table filled to the brim with books. At least the books were somewhat organized. I think this is where she usually read books from time to time.
"So, what do you think about the lessons today?"
"It was a lot of fun! Though I'm not sure if I could handle all of it if that is how much I will be learning every day." Of course, that was a lie. I can handle it easily but since I am currently five years old, I should act more like one to avoid suspicion but also stand out from time to time to cause some drama. This should at least improve my status in the royal family since I don't have anything to be known for compared to my other siblings so might as well do some of the dirty work.
We chit-chat for a while and she gave me some books to read, mainly about magic. I guess she only reads mostly about magic. That's to be expected for someone as talented as her in magic. I wish I could use magic too but I think I have to get some blessing or stuff to be able to use it.
I started to read the books and quickly realized some interesting stuff.
"I have to get a blessing from a temple to be able to know my affinity?" I accidentally said while reading.
My sister chuckled a bit. That was embarrassing. "Yeah, you need to do that but fear not! We will soon be traveling back to our original home so that we can go to the temple. It shouldn't be too long."
"Our original home?" I was confused, what did she mean about our original home? Is this mansion not even our original home? That's new.
"Did you forget? Or did Ooka-san forget to tell you something important again? Either way, we are soon going back to the capital because you finally became 5. You won't have any memories about that place since you and your younger siblings were born here but both I and your older brother were born in the capital. This is just a vacation home for us to be completely honest. Also, it is freezing cold in there so you should wear a lot of warm clothes when we finally go there."
Are you kidding me? This is just a vacation home and yet it's already this big and fancy? I guess you really can't underestimate how rich the royal family is.
So we are going to the capital soon huh. I wonder what is in there.
