Every country has a place where teenagers and young adults gain knowledge, and the same is the case with the Veda country.
Veda Education Center was founded as one of the most famous places to get an education in the country, from children to teenagers. Although there were other schools out there, Veda Education Center was the number one choice for children who wanted to gain knowledge.
The levels they use were similar to the school system on earth, elementary school, junior high school and high school. However, they did not have a university and used the preparatory military system.
Although they were educated about many things in that world, in the end they would become servants of the country and the king, Meika.
Of course they were still offered other jobs such as researchers, scientists, teachers and others, but their only goal was to serve the Veda country.
That's why the students were so proud when they were accepted into the Vedic Education Center. They were ready to become honorable servants of the country.
However, there was only one person whose body wouldn't stop shaking, and couldn't even lift his head to look forward.
That person was Tendou Zuvarist Ilion.
Tendou saw his name displayed on the announcement board.
The board looked very advanced even though it was just an ordinary blackboard, but the writing on the board changed every second with the names of the people who were accepted into the Veda Education Center.
It looks very advanced, but that was just the power of one of the teachers from the Veda Education Center, Tan. Tan was able to do that by focusing his brain and transforming his energy through signals to the blackboards spread throughout the Veda Education Center.
Hearing such a crazy thing made Tendou even more nervous. Since he had no idea what kind of people he would meet at the school.
"Mr. Tan is so incredible!" said one of the students whose words Tendou heard.
"Isn't he? I want to be a cool teacher like him!"
"I want to be like Sir Jun!"
Hearing the students' fantasies, Tendou felt like his heart had been pierced by a needle. He envied people who were "free" and never felt constrained, who could be whatever they wanted to be.
But occasionally, envy can make one forget what they should be grateful for.
"Hey, isn't that Slave 1?"
"Eh? The king's new slave who can withstand the king's direct attack?"
Still, that was not what made Tendou happy, hearing the students there talking about Tendou, made Tendou's vision blurry and he could not think at all since he was recalling all his memories of the past.
Tens to hundreds of eyes were on him. And he recognized that.
And that was what scared him so much that it made him short of breath.
Without thinking, he ran towards the class he belonged to.
The classes in the school were divided according to their exam results.
If they were students with great potential, they would be placed in class A, and the most modest potential would be placed in class E.
"However, why is Slave 1's name in class E while Slave 2 is in class A?" Jun asked Meika.
Meika, who was focused on doing his duty as the country's leader, replied calmly, "You don't need to know what I talked about with Slave 1."
Meika did not tell Jun that it was Tendou who desired the decision.
Yes, he could not refuse Tendou, especially with the serious expression he gave off when making the request to Meika.
"I want to make an effort from the beginning. I do not want any special behavior from thee, Your Majesty. Let me study and work until I can prove that what I got is the result of my hard work."
Remembering that, really made the king's mood feel good.
And he could only pray and watch from a distance, "Good luck, Tendou" Meika whispered.
Jun could only let out a long sigh, "I can only hope that he doesn't die there."
"Hey, don't be like that, you know yourself that he's right under Kirara's watch."
Jun gritted his teeth, "I forgot that she was there. Tch, she'll definitely brag about it later"
Meika laughed, "Kirara is the smartest and strongest woman in our country, of course to make the youth in our country become strong like her, we have to make her a role model for our students there. That is why I made her the principal of the Veda Education Center in addition to being my secretary."
Jun knew it was a very hard job but never once did he see Kirara complaining about doing her job. Instead, she was always smiling. It was as if she really loved her job.
Yes, it was true. What Jun suspected was true. She really did love her job. Being the honorable secretary to the king, and being the role model for the students at the Veda Education Center made Kirara proud to be a strong and intelligent woman.
"Madam Kirara looks so elegant~"
Even so, she did not want to act childish. She tried to contain her happy feelings within herself.
"Hm?" But instantly that feeling disappeared when he saw Tendou who was alone in the corner of the hallway not daring to break through the students standing in front of the classroom to see Kirara.
Kirara only saw him from a distance, not greeting him.
Nevertheless, it was not without reason. It was because it was his other request.
Before going to school, Tendou went to see Kirara at the palace. Tendou went to see her quickly because Tendou knew that he might not see Kirara in the foreseeable future.
All students admitted to the Veda Education Center would live in the school's dormitory.
Since the school was large enough to accommodate all the students studying there, the reason was so that they would be properly educated during their time at the school.
Were they not allowed to go home?
Of course they could, but only on weekends.
And that was why, it was better if Tendou made a request to Kirara before going to school, "Your Highness, could you not treat me special while at school and treat me as a student like everyone else?"
Of course hearing such a request made Kirara surprised.
But just like Meika, Kirara could not refuse when she saw the serious expression plastered on Tendou's face.
"Call me madam, and it has been my intention from the beginning to treat you the same as other students. So be prepared."
"Thank you, Madam Kirara."
Anxious? Of course. But wouldn't seeing someone improve be more satisfying? Especially when it was a desire and determination from within.
Hence, she decided to watch him from afar.
'Do your best, Slave 1' She thought while turning around, did not greet Tendou at all and hurried to prepare the welcome speech that would be made in a few minutes.
