In a desolate land alongside the soliace of quietude and peaceful enviroment,
Aldritch was sitting on the dusty and lifeless soil of muddy properties, feasting upon the odors of fishes that were hunted in the newly created oceanic terrain by Jigash.
**
" Mhm, these fishes are delicious as heck - i wonder if there are Sushi in Terra? "
" Maybe the Eastern continent might be the solution, they are indeed similar to my past life. "
I started to pondered upon the next course of actions, while one would be interested in traveling aboard to personally witness the world around him,
He was simply too weak to defend himself currently and cannot travel aboard for now.
Now, perhaps you may be asking 'Don't you have Jigash now?'
While that may have some merits in my considerations,
However i have a major objection because of this!

He's definitely a very good - but comparing to Yellow Grade,
It's like comparing the 14th- centuries plague that had terrorized civillization back in history to a common flu,
In term of deadliness and decisive power factors.
The System said that it had to 'nerf' his power in order to accommodate the toll it had on my soul -
As i understand it, increasing your power has some risks when it jumped too fast.
Well if my haphazard guess is somewhat correct, his peak power should be around middle of white grade.
Which could qualify as one of the apex entity in the terra world.
Enough speaking about the future - i think we have a lot of things to catch up on.
I placed my attention toward Jigash and went to a comfortable place to sit.
**
" What have you been doing? And, did you get your revenge? "
Aldritch asked him in a straight manner since Jigash is his retainer now - there no point in being dodgy about the subject.
"No, my warlord, "
" While i did assumed it was the sirens that exterminated us during that day-"
" It wasn't the sirens right? Your mother told me something before she died, and i guess she told you too. "
" Forsooth, my mother would always remind me to beware of the ones that had other faith than we do. "
" Did you find any clues regarding that? Maybe they weren't completely hidden. "
Jigash had a complicated expression and went into deep thought as if he is attempting to remember something from the past he went through.
" My warlord, there was this one occasion where my discovery has lead into a strange symbol. "
Jigash showed an indentical copy of the symbol using his skill and precise memories of it.
It looked like a golden bird with long appendages of brilliant scarlet light and ethereal golden glow aura eminating from it.
In an excavated site of a temple looking place that seems almost foreign and ancient to anyone.
" It looks like a 'Phoenix'...But then again it doesn't make sense for it to be there. "
Aldritch thought of the possibilities on it being a foreign manner to that world - but he has too little information right now, he has to focus on increasing his strength before helping Jigash with it.
" All right, it was nice meeting you again. "
" And let's overcome this together like always. "
Aldritch spoke sincerely, since he considers him as a companion that cannot betray him and protect those dear to him.
There wasn't anything better in the world than that comfort.
"Of course, warlord. I swore to follow you even in this lifetime. "
Jigash solemnly replied with no hesitation as he considers Aldritch as his superior and his new mission in his new given life.
**
*Sizzling*
Aldritch begone of the portal as the time was running out - observing the time it seems that it was almost 3 hours.
While Jigash couldn't be summoned for now, he was sastified with him guarding the dimension in his place and practicing his new form of his.
Upon gazing the tea table that seems to be absence of his teacher that were lobbying for him.
There was a note on it, signifying the courteous manner in the teacher that he had a big impression on.
' The Class has started, i won't be here to see you in stronger form. But here's your ID (Information Domain), don't worry just take your time in coming to class, '
' I provided the principal a valid notice of absence. '
' Sincerely, yours - the amazing homeroom teacher. '
...'You don't have to add that last part'
Aldritch muttered to himself, but it crackled him for a moment, as it was the sort of humor he would indulged when he was free to some entertainment.
With that notice, Aldritch proceed to the direction of his class.
He did not need a guide as he had already familiarized himself with this place before the opening ceremony.
And when he had arrived there, a condeming sight greeted him...
Everyone was glared at the late-coming Aldritch, some with curious expression,
Others were disinterested and else were basically herding to the change in mood.
Aldritch could discern a familiar person amongst the student and-
Of course, Stellaria at the teacher's desk in front of everyone.
"Ah, welcome back - it seems you're done with the assignment i gave you, "
" how about introducing yourself in front of the class and take a seat? "
Stellaria winked her translucent eyes and gave a clear room for Aldritch to wedge in without being outcasted.
Aldritch, taking this opportunity would take upon himself to not let down on that offer and proceed to the front of the class.
While he hadn't become proficient about this world, he would attempt to assimilate into this new student life of his,
By giving the best first impression he could harnest.
" Yo, uhm. I'm Aldritch, uh nice to meet you all, i guess? "
' Wow, i think i fricked it up! '
Aldritch eyes became hazy like a dead fish and unable to cope with the reality of him essence as socially awkward around people of his age.
The best he can hope for is that they won't think of him too badly.
" Novice Leucognia, while i haven't decided on the seating yet.
" I'll let you decide who to sit with. "
Stellaria refered to the two empty seat, one on the back and the one on the front.
Obviously, most wouldn't choose to sit on the front.
It simply foolish to seek attention from the teacher and you wouldn't have a good view next to you, right?
Aldritch went ahead and sat on the front desk.
' I'm not afraid to be noticed, but rather i just hate sitting in the corner. '
But, while it wasn't as forturnate to be sitting here as he noticed his deskmate being the girl he talked to intially.
" Oh, hey there do you recalled me? "
" During the morning like hours ago? "
Aldritch proceed to start the conversation as he wanted to maintain a friendly and healthy relationship, once he started to make one.
" Friend. I remembered. "
Isadora naturally responded with the usual lifeless demeaner, since they both remember each other, it would be rude to not chat once in a while.
" I happen to bump with our teacher. "
" Since i missed some classes she was kindly enough to give me some advices. "
Aldritch spoke of the time after they departed, but not mentioning on why and what actually occured during his time of absence.
" Substitute teacher. Teach us warriors. "
Isadora spoke a bit about the lesson that were happening during Aldritch's absence, it wasn't much but a rudimentary introduction to the 'Warrior' training.
" Interesting, by the way. I have always been curious but do you always carry that big shield on your back, the whole time? "
Aldritch shifted the topic, since he was fascinated due to the physics of how can a human carry around a plate that is twice as big as their height that possibly weight more than gymnastics equipments.
" Family traditions. I'm strong. "
She proudly exclaimed with those straightforward sentence, the Berndette has always boasted a prowess that use a heavy-handed shield that became a tradition of theirs, aside from their beliefs in the goddess.
" I see, nice to meet you. "
Aldritch had learned a bit about this odd character of his new friend, while he doesn't kind of any prejudice toward her, it was a strange sense of constant uneasiness.
But before he could think or continue the conversation without feeling bitter about keeping his friend hanging-
" Ahem, the lesson will begin now - keep all attention over to this teacher, novices. "
Stellaria dry cough alerted the class of the incoming period, where she draw a hologram showing the content of the presentation.
[ ' Stellaria Super-Duper Warrior Guide' ]
" If that's too long of a name - then you can refer to this lesson as SSDWG-1806-OB, any questions? "
One of the students raised his hand - while his eyes looks to be filled with pigmentation - it was a genetic trait in this world.
"Yes, Novice Celt? "
" Miss Themera, can i ask an ignorant question? "
" There is no such nonsense, and you can address me by my first name,
" In the Fallen academy - formality are not required- "
" If you're worried about your commoner status, we are beyond that. "
"...Ah! i'm sorry. But why is our calender named OB? I wasn't taught the reason as to why. "
The student spoke his mind, while other looked at him like a bumpkin that doesn't informed of a rudamentary common sense.
" 'OB' would originate to the ancient word from language lost to the past of humanity - 'Oute-breaken' which means the outbreak, "
" Which means we're living in a time where we have broken out of being confined to a world - technologies had advanced to the point where i will now introduce the fruit of those labors. "
Stellaria just silenced the whole class with that statement as with the flick her fingers continued to next slide of the presentation.
