Mr. Ryan is actually a good teacher. He handles our History lessons which I found a bit weird because of his age, but nonetheless, he teaches really well.
"Although our country, Linbourne, is experiencing peace right now, all thanks to our government and military's efforts, war can still break out anytime." Ryan said. Then he sweeps his gaze towards his students and stopped for a few more seconds on a girl who looks at him seemingly interested on the topic he is discussing. Noticing her twinkling eyes that hints of craftiness, he thought to himself, 'What interesting fella.' Then continued with his lecture.
'Is father being busy related to that?' Sorcha thought. Feeling proud about her dad's work.
After a few hours passed, Mr. Ryan finally said "Class dismissed." And the class cheered after he left.
"Sigh~ don't you think history class is boring?" Luke by my side said.
"Hey it isn't boring if the handsome Mr. Ryan is the one teaching. Interjected by the girl beside him.
Luke internally rolled his eyes towards the girl. "You are not even listening to his lessons, only staring at him the whole time." He commented. Then the girl's ears turned red because of that.
"So what? Atleast I do not sleep like you!" She retorted.
"Hey hey! I'm not sleeping! My eyes are just resting for a while!"
I laughed hearing their discussion.
"Sorcha let's go eat something before going home! My treat." Luke told me.
"Let me join too!" The girl said. "My name is Rica Folkerson by the way!"
"Okay" I agreed.
"Hey you pay for your food yourself!" Luke complained.
"Stingy! Are you not a gentleman?" Rica said.
"Hmph next time will be your treat."
"Sure thing!" Then we all laughed.
They walked towards the cafeteria where they saw one of their classmates being bullied. Sorcha's eyes turned sharp because of that.
"You little wimp! Not even getting the things right! I told you to buy me a red bean bread but you bought chocolate! Tell me who's gonna eat that!" A guy said angrily making his bulky nose bigger than they normally should.
"But they no longer sell them." The poor guy timidly replied.
"Useless thing!" The guy then reached his hand to the guys face for a slap. But before it even touched the poor guys face, they heard someone shriek.
"Argh!! Let go of me!" The bully cried.
"I thought you're strong because of how you bully the weak." Sorcha's voice sounded.
"Dammit! Let go I said!" Sorcha then dropped his hand.
"Don't do this again." She said. The guy looked at her as if not satisfied yet but in the end turned around and left.
"Woah! Sorcha you're so cool!" Luke said with sparkling eyes.
"You should not allow others to bully you." She told the poor guy.
"Mm. Thank you." He replied weakly.
"What's your name?" Rica asked him.
"Edmund Nichols" he said shyly
"Oh hi Edmund! My name is Rica, this guy here is named Luke, and the girl who saved you just now is Sorcha!" Edmund blushed and looked at sorcha then hurriedly dropped his face again.
"Come join us to eat lunch! This Luke here is the one who's treating!" Rica said
Luke rolled his eyes then said. "Mmhm my treat!"
Edmund again raised his face and nodded.
After eating they went outside together and looked for their own service.
"Hey take my contact and give me yours too." Luke exclaimed and raised his communication watch.
After exchanging numbers, Sorcha saw uncle David waving at her.
"I'm going now." She said to her new friends.
"Okay we're leaving too. Take care!" Luke said.
My friend noticed that I interchanged Luke and Ryan's name. Hahaha fixed~
When Uncle David and I reached the house, I saw mom removing spent flower heads from her plants, looking satisfied after she finished. I walked towards her and the sweet scent of the peonies rushed into my nose making me feel comfortable and relaxed.
"Hello mom. Is dad here yet?" I asked her.
She turned around and answered, "Mm he's in his study room. Do you need anything sweetie?"
"No, I'm just asking. You should take a rest after you finish here." I politely told her.
"I'm staying in the house all day. How could I get tired? It is you who needs rest after coming from school. Tell me, did something interesting happen in your first day in class?" She asked looking interested. My mother resigned from her job before she gave birth to me, so now, she's staying here to take care of me and the household.
"Nothing much." I replied. And after a while of listening to my mom's nagging, I finally left for my room.
I changed my uniform into comfortable clothes. T-shirt, shorts, and a pair of rabbit slippers.
'why is this kind of clothing not used in my previous life?' I sighed comfortably and walked towards the balcony in my room.
I stared outside as I reminisce about my past.
The world I was in before is completely different from this new one. In terms of clothings, females were more on the conservative style. Long sleeves, ankle cut dresses, which are quite the same as the medieval type of dresses in this world. Males on the other hand, usually wears long sleeve blouses, pants, and a coat. As a knight, I usually wear uniform. Red long-sleeve blouse, paired with black pants and black boots, and a light armor covering the right side of my upper body.
Knights stood at the forefront of human society there. They are just a level lower than Kings, and can stand side by side with the princes. They have great reputations and considered as honorable people who stands by their chivalric code.
That world back then is filled with war with the other races, such as beasts and half-beasts/half-human. The knights protected the weak civilians, and they were the ones who initiated peace treaties to the other races. From then on, everyone started to cohibit the world in peace. Knights no longer just protect humans, but everyone who lives.
If you would ask me how to describe my world from back then with the point of view from people who live here, I'd say it is something you can only read in fantasy novels. There's no magic, no beasts, no halflings in here that they are just called as 'fiction'. So if I try telling someone about it, they'd label me as 'madman', 'crazy' or schizophrenic.
This world meanwhile has an advantage in technology unlike the other world where electricity is completely unknown. The communication watch I am using is something that are similar to smart phones with the basic function of calling people who are away from you, and certain things like GPS and so on. There is this thing called internet that is spread throughout the whole world, which you can basically use from anywhere.
The buildings here are quite similar in terms of some type of 'architecture' that uses cement and bricks to build. But if you go to cities, you'd see sky-high towers or skyscrapers made from glass and others with the 'modern architecture' designs. The roads and highways are wide enough to support huge amount of cars.
Some of the weapons used here are guns, tanks, cannons and etc. Of course they still use knives and other traditional weapons.
My country Linbourne right now is peaceful. But the military and the government is still preparing in case a war erupts. The Oakbourne, a neighbor country eyes our country's wealth. They've been wanting to control our economic gains for themselves. Linbourne is rich in oil and materials used for manufacturing. Our lands are fertile and are good for agriculture. Oakbourne on the other hand, has increasing population that the government says that their basic resources are becoming scarce. The neighboring countries of Linbourne are Oakbourne, Silverbourne, and Vertbourne, and Linbourne, although is not the weakest among the other two countries, because of our natural resources, Oakburne has a higher chance to wage war on us.
It's really hard to put all my thoughts into words
