Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 510 Lady Adela



"Hmmm. Who wants to study today?" She asked with a small smile on her pretty face and looked at us with her mismatched eyes.

And that question was out of the blue so not everyone knew how to answer her question. But still, some of the students did raise their hands at her question. And one of them was the girl sitting beside me.

"Oh? That\'s more than a hundred. Looks like you little ones really aren\'t in the mood for something serious today. 

Well then, let\'s have a casual talk.

Consider me your friend and talk comfortably and tell me about what you understand about culture and what unique things you do in your culture that you don\'t usually see."

She was still looking around and as her eyes passed by the students, the ones looking back in her eyes flinched slightly, probably feeling a strange sensation running throughout their body.

And no, that wasn\'t some kind of micro orgasm. It was more of an instinctive response to her \'authority\'.

[[ "Every time I look at her, I somehow feel like she is more of a scary person rather than just a normal person of great importance in the higher society." ]]

That was Rein, and she wasn\'t laying on the bench like she was in the last class.

She was looking at the teacher sitting on the stage, and though there was a strange uneasiness in her heart, she wasn\'t actually afraid of her.

It was probably just that she was used to seeing her in the important functions and even in those places, she would be surrounded by other important people so seeing her for the first time as the teacher was new to her.

And though I had also only seen her from afar till now, and those were only three times, she definitely looked pretty, and interesting from what I can see right now.

"So, who\'s going first?"

She had a smile as she looked at the class with a unique expectation and as we saw, a few hands were raised and she picked a certain boy in pretty normal clothing and he stood up.

"Right. Start with your names, everyone. Whenever we are in the class, if you are speeding up for the first time, say your names first.

Hm-hmmm, ok. Con-

Right, right, right!

I almost forgot."

She apologized to the boy, quickly stood up from her chair, went behind the desk, and took out a crystal-like transparent chalk from her storage device ring.

She then started drawing something on the blackboard and just after a little less than two minutes had passed, she had finished drawing a rough sketch of all three continents, the oceans, and most prominent kingdoms, cities, and the nine forbidden zones.

And even though I was calling it a rough drawing, from the perspective of the students who didn\'t deeply understand drawing, painting, and art, this rough sketch was nothing less than a finely drawn world map.

"Drawing isn\'t my strongest skill so I apologize for this rough sketch but I believe this one should be enough for our little personal talk. 

And sorry to keep you standing, Luke. You can sit down for now. Let me tell you all something about myself, the culture of the place that I come from, and the high society of the Western continent."

She looked at the boy as if she was sorry and the boy shook her head with a helpless smile, telling her it was alright.

She nodded at him as if saying thanks and the boy blushed shyly, hiding his face like a shy little girl.

"Alright so, I believe a few of you already know me?" She asked while looking at the entire class and smiling at the shy boy, and saw a few students in attractive clothing, as well as a few common ones nodding at her question.

"Anyone from the state of Artoc?"

And on this next question, six hands stood up, five of which were students wearing normal clothing.

"Woah. There actually are some. 

Fine then. You know a little about me, right children? Any complaints about the state? You have a good opportunity to directly complain to the lord of state right now."

And her question, not just the five of them, but even the sixth boy in noble clothing strictly shook their heads. And two even shouted that they could never have such a thing as a complaint from a state that treated even commoners like them as important humans.

\'And for a matter of fact, the state of Artoc is one of the largest areas of the Mason empire and it is often compared to the southern Babylon region of the Roxana empire, the Atraxia territory.\'

It was considered one of the most beautiful places on the continent and thanks to the small mountains and valleys in that region, that place was already on our visiting lists.

And that place was prospering with a treasure of natural resources so people were happy there, and thanks to the presence of her husband, the archduke, and her amazing son… well, that was good information so some other time.

"Looks like none have any complaints, hmm? Well, as a lord I\'m happy but as a teacher of your good class, I am a little sad.

Haaa…

Well, it\'s alright. Tell me whenever you find anything to complain about."

She looked at the six of them and they nodded vigorously, putting another smile on her attractive face.

"Alright, so some know me, some are from my land, and some who don\'t know me, might have at least heard about my two big monkeys.

But that isn\'t a topic for now.

We are talking about society, culture, and history so…

How many of you have heard the name: ruins of Inmeg?"

I raised my hand at her question like almost ninety percent of the class and the teacher nodded at the great number with a smile.

"Good number actually. It means you all are at least interested in history."

She cheerfully smiled at everyone and many of them looked down with embarrassment. They were the students that said they didn\'t want to study today but Rein was obviously not embarrassed at all.

It would take far more than this to embarrass this little witch of mine.

"Haha. You little ones are cute."

She laughed gracefully for a while and shook her head as she looked back at us again.

"You know, when we found those ruins, I was pretty young. Probably just a little older than you all.

At that time, I did know what ruins are, their importance, and also the dangers that lurked all around one. But what we did not have even the slightest bit of idea, was that the pretty-looking gates in the middle of a flower field could possibly be some ancient ruins.

Back then, we were probably lucky enough to come out of that place alive. And I was probably even luckier to have taken a strange stone tablet with me...

Call it fate, a fluke of luck, or an epiphany of the heavens, but that was my first ever motivation to learn about the past.

I wanted to read what was written on that strange stone and know if those strange, magical words were even a language or not.

So, I started studying about the old languages, about old civilizations, about their cultures, and how they were able to form strong societies that were able to survive in the era where (Purple) ranked creatures roamed the lands like it were a grand garden and demons terrorized the realm as if it was the only thing in the universe for them which, by whatever means, they had to destroy.

I learned by myself, from books, from the ones that knew, and then I came here, to this academy, learned even deeper, and when it was time and we had men strong enough to take down the terrors lurking in those ruins, we departed on an adventure that is now known as <First Inmeg expedition>. 

And the treasures we found after defeating unthinkingly powerful guardians, is what we all call the [Sixth cradle legacy]."

She stopped after that for a moment and looked around at the class that had fallen dead silent.

[[ "Damn…" ]]

And even Rein was looking at her with wide eyes right now and it was understandable as the way she had said those few things made it so deep and dramatic that without hearing those words themselves, one couldn\'t possibly understand how… well-spoken it was.

"And after we found that, we were able to know how the people of that civilization lived, about their unique culture, about that ancient society which possessed knowledge and wisdom far greater than our current times.

We found out how they lived in clay houses, ate processed energy beast meat, and identified and gathered proper herbs, and spices. Used magic and weapons made of hard stones and unique metal like blue wood. 

How they lived, spent their free time, how much they knew about themselves, and how there were intercultural relationships among them and the other nearby communities.

For the first time ever, we were able to find out how they engraved the \'holy words\' or as we know them, ruins, on the weapons for those weapons possessing that tremendous strength to even be in fine condition in current time.

We also found out how they were able to cultivate on lands and how they were able to \'assimilate\' with their magical companions and with nature and natural elements."

She stopped for a moment and looked at everyone who was still looking at her with focused eyes, and then looked at the very back at me, smiling mysteriously out of nowhere...?

"That was my first expedition and after the ruins of Inmeg, I was lucky enough to be part of <Second Tristone expedition>, <Xirathur temple exploration>, <Blue mountain labyrinth recon>, many small scales but important sites visits, and the most recent one of them, some of you might have probably heard of it, was a special visit to the site that gave birth to one of the most famous books in history, the tomb of two important figures of a small but special civilization, the <Tomb of Medhel\'s saviors>.

The resting place of well-known characters, sorceress of red winds, Lady Aella, and her partner, the great ruler, the hero chief, Master Neron.

And let me tell you everyone as I have seen them myself… they are far more gorgeous than the illustrations. Especially Master Neron. Even I was mesmerized when I saw them."

And as soon as she paused, as if a volcano had erupted, the entire class burst into questions, excitement, confusion, joy, and voices that wanted to know more about the characters that they all had loved after only reading them from pages between two thick red-blue book covers... that took me a great long time to finalize.
