I sat on a park bench, while using my phone, this world was more advanced than my previous world
I had a lot of expectations about technology in this world, and I was not disappointed, whether it was communication, transportation, or even literature, everything was impressive to me.
But there was something strange about youth in this world, it was a strange culture that I saw for the first time
They were standing in front of the camera and doing something they called dancing
I know different dances because I was from a distinguished family in my previous world, so I often attended banquets and social parties, so it was natural for me to learn to dance.
But this thing these teens are doing can be called anything but dancing
They were jumping in front of the camera, especially the girls who were keen to wear revealing clothes
The strange thing is that these clips and broadcasts were popular, and they even get financial support from fans
It seems that even with the advances in technology this world is still full of weirdos
I noticed someone looking at me, and when I raised my head, I found the boy I had carried to the clinic last night
He was standing there and looking at me hesitantly and when I looked at him he shuddered, but he stayed where he was
It was funny to watch him, but I suppressed my laughter so as not to embarrass him further
Finally the boy mustered up enough courage and turned towards me, standing in front of me
I just sat there waiting to see what he wanted to do
The boy bowed to me lightly, "Thank you for helping me last night..."
I looked at him with a smile, "No problem, why don't you sit next to me..." I said while patting lightly on the seat next to me.
His face was red and he looked embarrassed, but he sat next to me
I know asking him to sit next to me was too much, but I was bored and wanted someone to talk to.
"Your name is Ren..." I tried to start a conversation
"That's right…" Ren was looking forward and didn't dare to look at me
"Are you being bullied?..."
"this..."
"Sorry, I don't have the right to ask anything personal, I just wanted to know if I could help you..."
"No problem, it's just a clash between clans…"
"Oh, so your clan is at war…" I looked at him in surprise, I thought the elf race was at peace, but there seems to be an internal struggle within the race.
"Not my clan, but my master's clan, I am just a servant who accompanies her inside the academy, but her enemies can't target her directly so they send their followers to harass me…" There was a hard look on Ren's face
"Why don't you defend yourself?..."
"I can't… My master's clan is in a weak position right now, so if I attack a member of other clans it might cause problems for my master…" Ren clenched his fists tightly.
I couldn't help but sigh upon hearing the difficult situation this boy is going through, having to endure bullying due to a power struggle
I took a piece of candy out of my pocket and extended my hand towards the boy
Ren was surprised by my action, and kept looking at the piece of candy
"How long do you plan to leave my hand extended like this..." I told him sarcastically
"Sorry..." Ren quickly grabbed the candy
I took out another piece of candy and took a bite. "I eat candy when I'm upset..."
Ren ate candy with me, we were silent for a while, and I saw the students started heading towards the school buildings.
Ren got up from his seat. "The class will start, I have to leave..."
I grabbed his hand, "Wait a minute, give me your phone number.."
Ren was shocked, "What?..."
"Your number.... in case we want to communicate, is this a strange request?"
My participation in the conversation with this boy made me comfortable, this was the first time that I was able to have a normal conversation with a normal person
Seraphina, that girl had left Elia, so I began to feel uncomfortable having a conversation with her
As for Christopher, he is an agent of the central government, and he watches me
"No, that is not the problem….This is the first time I have exchanged contact information with another person…"
I looked at him in astonishment, "Didn't you exchange numbers with your friends..."
"I have no friends..." Ren looked down at the ground with a blank smile on his face
"..." Poor kid, I have to make sure to treat him well
I put my hand on his shoulder, "I will be your friend."
"...." Ren tilted his head sideways in surprise
"You should go before it's too late..."
"Right, bye..."
After Ren left, I went back to my seat, and sat down
A few minutes later, my phone rang
Christopher was the caller
On the phone i said, "Hi Christopher, is there a problem..."
"I am waiting for you in Training Hall No. 43, don't be late…."
Before I could speak, Christopher hung up
I headed towards Hall No. 43, where most of the halls held training classes for the different classes
But this hall was completely empty, only Christopher was standing in the middle, wearing his training clothes instead of the tuxedo he usually wears.
The training clothes were tight, showing off Christopher's trained body
Christopher threw a small bag at me which I grabbed
"Go to the locker room and put on your training clothes…"
"Why?.."
"Why do you think we will wear training clothes?…"
"....." I did as he said and put on training clothes. It was comfortable. These clothes were designed to protect the students from injuries during training.
I stood in front of Christopher, "Are you planning to train me?..."
"yes..."
"Don't you think you're a little late…" I said in a sarcastic tone, I know Christopher's good intentions but dueling is tomorrow, what can I learn in one training classe
Christopher didn't seem bothered by my words, "Before your talent was revealed, you were someone who trained in martial arts. It's true that you lost your memory and probably forgot all those martial arts, but I'll make you remember them…"
"And how do you plan to make me remember ?"
"What do you do when your finger touches fire?"
"I'm going to get him out of the fire quickly..." I don't know what this question has to do with my training, but I answered the natural answer
"Exactly, the body makes this movement automatically, and martial arts also do the same thing. Once you learn it, it will be imprinted in your memory. It is somewhere waiting for something to stimulate it, and I will do that..."
It made sense, but there was one problem, I'm not Elia, and I didn't learn any martial arts in my original world so no matter what prompts or trainings I receive, I can't remember anything I didn't do in the first place.
But I couldn't tell Christopher that, so I pretended to be convinced by his words, "It looks good to me, so let's get started..."
----------- ------------------ --------------------- -------------------
"Hoof hoof.... hoof..."
I was lying on the floor panting, and Christopher stood on top of me and looked down at me , frowning
"It's strange, no matter how hard we try, we don't get any results…"
We trained for two hours, but I thought it was ten hours
It was hell for me
I caught my breath and gathered my strength to get up, "This training seems useless, but do you really think that I can win using martial arts alone?..."
"Winning? It's impossible. You can't win against someone using aura no matter how proficient you are in martial arts. I just wanted you to struggle a bit against your enemy and not lose from the first minute…"
"..." Well, I've had enough of this
"Thank you for helping me.....but I disappointed you..."
"Don't worry Elia, it's not your fault, go rest for a while...."
I took a shower, in the restrooms of the training facility, got dressed, and then went back to my room.
I decided to meet Alexander Bernenberg, Kepler and Thomas again
There were a lot of questions that I didn't get an answer to
