The next classes continued as teachers came and left until it was time for the last break of the day.
Shawn sat at his table and took out a pen which he used to write the tasks and assignments that had been given . At that moment, he heard a voice saying"Hello"
He wondered who it was and so he raised his head up and looked at the figure that was standing in front of him.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Oh nothing, I just thought that since you are my teacher for math we should plan on how to start the lessons" Richard said.
"Oh yeah. About that, We could meet in the library on Tuesday, that way we can start lessons" Shawn said.
"Ok" Richard replied and left.
"That is strange," Charles said as they watched the retreating back.
"What's strange?" Shawn turned to his friends.
"Usually Richard comes and just orders people to do what he asks but to see him being polite with you?" Harry said.0
"Maybe you did something to make him like that," Stephanie said.
"Oh yeah. I gave him a piece of my mind when he almost forced me to give him my homework" Shawn said.
"Ok but that guy gives me the creeps. If you guys are going to have a noteworthy opponent to teach" Stephanie said.
"Ahhh yes the amount of teaching and effort I must put so that I don't get dealt with a reduction of marks" Shawn huffed.
The rest of the day went on and the bell rang once again signifying that school was over for the day.
Shawn and his friends packed their books and carried their bags and left following Shawn to walk to Stacy's classroom.
Young Stacy was running about the class with other girls her age when she saw Shawn then turned and ran to him. "Big Brother Shawn!!" She screamed before spreading her arms wide.
Shawn looked at her and just kept his eyes out for Stacy's bag. When she came to him and noticed that he didn't look at her she curled her hand into a fist and hit his thigh.
"Oww!" Shawn made a small scream.
"Big brother is ignoring me. I'm gonna report you to mother" Stacy looked at him angrily.
Seeing the look on her face made Shawn smile before he bent down to pick her up. "Young Stacy ignored big brother this morning"
"Sorry big brother Shawn" Stacy said as she pouted her lips.
"Ughhh. Can we hurry and go to our homes. This cutie nice sibling thing is making my eyes hurt" Harry said while touching his eyes like they had been affected by something.
"Ok" Shawn chuckled as he walked towards the corner of the classroom where bags were kept.
Stacy smiled at Shawn, probably happy that he was talking to her.
She just felt like ignoring her brother and that was not nice. Shawn and his friends carried their bags and left the school gates before Shawn waved goodbye to Harry and Charles while Stephanie along with Lucas and Stacy got on a taxi.
After getting off, Shawn and Stephanie both walked for a few minutes before they went their separate ways.
Shawn got into the house and got his siblings ready to go to their rooms after they dropped all things that needed to be dropped.
He then turned on his computer and started researching the civilizations that resided across the Nile.
He found the topics of discussion very intriguing and interesting and was impressed with what he was reading.
"The Ancient Civilizations most especially Egypt and Kush did do a lot of things regarding culture, research and beliefs" He said.
Then he remembered Ornio world where the various races and most especially the orc race that was placed in the desert. "I wonder how those other four races are doing?" He thought while continuing the history homework as well as other homeworks that he had been given to him by his teachers.
Then he moved to science and for some reason he remembered the quest concerning the laws that he had yet to make in his world.
The science teacher had asked them to give a bit of research on a few of the various scientific laws that had been made over the years.
"I am getting a lot of inspiration from all of these topics" He said, then after he was done with his assignment he began to write down the plans he had for Ornio.
"Shawn, it's time for dinner," Emily's voice reached his ears.
Shawn stopped his work and came downstairs to the dining room and ate his dinner.
"So how was school today?" Nick asked.
"It was.... okay" he replied before stuffing in a piece of meat.
"School was fine daddy," Stacy said.
"Just how it is everyday," Lucas answered.
"Okayyy" Nick then threw another question,"So was there anything exciting for you today Shawn?"
"Not much, except that my teacher teamed me up with the class bully for teaching math lessons" Shawn said while swallowing a piece of meat.
"What do you mean by teaming up for math lessons?" Nick probed.
"Well. He kinda asked everyone of those who hadn't submitted their homework to choose from those who had so that they could give them lessons on topics treated after the classes then he was going to test us all after the class was over" .
"Hmmm. Your math teacher is trying to foster unity amongst yourselves. He doesn't want just a few people to enter the top of the class in math, he wants you all to come along with it. Even if it means that you should just get above average" Nick explained the teacher's intentions.
"But he could just have directly allocated them to individuals. Why did he have to ask them who it was?"
"Well. That way it wouldn't be forced but clearly within one's agreement and choice" Nick replied.
"But not clearly within my agreement and choice. A class bully who gets what he wants. I am just going to be forced into corruption" Shawn whined about the issue.
"Calm down boy. Not everyone is as bad as you think, the more you get to know each other the more you will realize that there are factors that make up a person's lifestyle" Nick said.
"Mum. I think we need to send dad to the Tibetan mountains so that he can become a wise monk!" Lucas shouted.
"Hey. I'm already married and have three wonderful kids. Why would I want to become a monk?" Nick chuckled.
Emily, who was still in the kitchen, came out to the dining room and sat closer to Nick. "Oh well you might become the next to ascend the heavens with enlightenment" She laughed. .
"Come on. I'm already attached to the mortal world" Nick said as he gazed at his wife.
Feeling the incoming vibe of the family, Shawn and Lucas were about to say something but then Stacy cried. "Mummy and Daddy wanna do something mushy"
Feeling the thing that they had tried to get distracted on get said to their ears. Shawn and Lucas screamed before closing their eyes. "Ewww!" They shouted.
Nick and Emily laughed at both their kids' reactions and the family continued having their meal with various jokes before everyone left to their official rooms.
Shawn stayed awake a little longer before he went to sleep. Then the automatic process came to him.
*Logging creator into the world* The system said.
Shawn opened his eyes slowly and got off the couch "System, I need answers from you"
*Anything that the creator of Ornio desires to know I can help with the best of my abilities*
"Oh first stop with the formalities, and next, I want to know why the world is going so fast that it's affecting my sleep pattern in the real world" Shawn complained.
*Well. You are still attached to the mortal world and in a sense, the Ornio world and the real world that you live in are connected so there is a dependency. The more time you spend here, the less time you will spend there*
"Is there a way to reduce this effect of dependency from both worlds?" Shawn asked.
*Well there are ways to do it. One of them requires you to cut the connection with one of the world's that you will be able to stay in only one of them.
Another is for you to be affected in a way that your body is shut down in one of the worlds*
"And how do I do that?"
*Well you could try to go into a coma or fall unconscious. But that is only necessary for you if you have nothing to lose in the real world*
"What do you mean if I have nothing to lose? Have there been others out there who have been in this situation?" Shawn asked.
*Yes, there have been others out there who have been in this situation and most of them chose to return back to their normal lives*
"So I am not the first to be in this condition. How many people are in the same state as this one currently happening to me?" Shawn asked.
*There are many of them. You're not the only one who has a world or worlds*
