Chapitre 4: My little fucked up world
Now it's just me and my brother but he works pretty much all day, every day so we can still have a relatively normal live so I'm mostly alone if I'm not with Eloria or Jaswyn. But it's fine, I really appreciate and love him and I will look for a job as soon as I turn 18 so I will be finally able to help him out a bit. Even though he never said or did anything that would suggest he feels that way, I still feel like a burden. He's still young and it's not fair he has to take care of another person despite himself just because of the errors our parents made.
Even though I love swordsmanship and everything evolving around battling and my biggest dream ever since I have been little was to be a knight, I will still whatever job I can get the most money from and I will force myself to be happy with it. "Rein!" I called out for my brother. No answer, guess he's still at work. Like I predicted, we don't have any food in our storage except for a few beet and I have no idea how they even came here, neither me nor my brother like beets. Annoyed and hungry I went into my room, I wanted to rest a bit before practicing fighting outside.
My daily routine is wake up, sword practice with Jaswyn, meeting up with Gloria for lunch, workout a bit, have dinner and lastly free time until I fall asleep, so yeah, I don't know much math or stuff stuff like that but I can kick your ass in almost every scenario and in a world like mine that certainly is more useful. And I don't really feel the need to learn other stuff, I just wanted to start in a blacksmith or tavern, I already have the knowledge I would need for that and the loan is alright but Rein insisted that I have to go to the academy a bit longer until I start searching for a job.
I can read and do basic calculations, that's enough for me so I really didn't want to go back but to ensure I listen to him and not skip school anymore he confiscated practically all my weapons expect a dagger for self protection and I don't get them back until my 18th birthday and only if I went to school regularly the whole time until then starting from..... tomorrow. Yay me.
Most people would probably be exited since studying is expensive but I really don't want to go, I'm not cut out for it. I don't fit in the slightest either and Eloria is in another class so I don't even get to see her most of the day. At least there are a few interesting lessons: combat, history and magic-protection since it is really important if any of the students would ever have enough bad luck to run into a victim of the curse of the hollowed.
Many years ago when I was stil a baby the great infestation began. The infected started to develop strange, inhuman abilities but the price for it was their minds, the only response they show to humans is attacking them. Many, many people died then, either because they were helpless and the cursed ones easily murdered them or they were infected themselves and the royal knights or hunters killed them. Some of the people that fighted against the monsters that were once human were executed by followers of the divine light cult who believe that the curse is some kind of divine punishment, that it only kills sinners and spares the innocent. But even children get infected and they never survive so I don't see how that would that could ever be fair.
Thank the gods the curse is almost extinct these days. There hasn't been a case near our town in years now and it's highly unlikely that there will be one in the near future. Still, knowledge is powerful so all things that humanity knows about the curse are taught in the academy and the town wall and knights protect us. It's a shame that I won't ever get the chance to be one of them because of the lack of money in my family.
