"Only someone like you would choose to read this kind of complicated book," Javier said. "Still, my... new parents are surprised that we are able to read so soon." "Mine too," Ruth added. "I told them that Raiden helped a lot, but they find it hard to believe that a kid could teach another kid how to read this fast." In any case, since they didn't have anything else to do, they decided to spend the time reading the books and the parts that they were planning to read in the classroom. Javier and Ruth…-

"We are going to protect a merchant of a nearby village and reach another territory that is filled with beasts. I believe that it will take two weeks for us to return, so don't worry if you don't hear from us for a few more days," Harth explained. "We will depart tomorrow morning." Beasts... Raiden heard that a few times, but he couldn't imagine the monsters. He had only been reading books about medicine and herbs... he wondered if books talking about them could be found in the Tower of Mastery. While…

"I will help the other healers and see which one of them can afford some seedlings and samples for the time being," Raiden nodded to himself. After finishing his business there, Raiden went to follow his morning routine. Come to think of it, he also adjusted it to make sure that he would pass the test at his current level in one month. He also had to make sure that Javier and Ruth won't fall behind. During the next few weeks, things got really busy. After finishing reading the vases, Raiden only…

The kids on the next level were just a year older than the others, so those three still stood out like sore thumbs. Their new instructor told them to observe for the day. In the new level, the kids were doing basically the same things as in the previous level. Still, they also had not only to improve in their studies but they also had to work on their social skills by reading full sentences in front of everyone. Raiden could tell that Javier and Ruth were sweating cold thanks to that. The kids…

"I guess I should focus now on learning as much as possible about herbs and plants and then sell them to professionals," Raiden thought. "Once I am get used to handling and making all sorts of types grow, I can expand my business and activities." Raiden began to interact with the healers and apothecaries of the villages and asked them all kinds of things. First of all, land or growing space: Access to suitable land or growing space is crucial. Consider factors such as sunlight exposure, soil quality,…

Raiden was curious to see the upper floors of the school, but he felt that it would be more fun if the suspense were to motivate him to go up as fast as possible. "We should buy you some training wear," Harth said when they left the area. "I am fine with what I have," Raiden said. "How do people usually graduate from school each year? Is that something that I can know now?" "It is fine; each year has some requirements," Harth explained. "Knowing how to write your name and do five minutes of…

"That is fine. We don't have to act all buddy-buddy so soon," Harth said and offered a handshake to Raiden. "Let's work together from now on." "It seems there is still hope for you," Lenore said and then snorted. "Are you already packed to come with us?" "... I don't have many things to pack," Raiden replied after noticing the eyes of satisfaction in Lenore's eyes and the smile on Iri's face. "Now, now, let's not get ahead of ourselves," Harth said. "I will come to pick you up tomorrow morning.…

"What were their names again?" Raiden thought. "Ruvier and Jath? I guess I mixed their names in more sense than one... anyway, I am not their babysitter." Raiden thought that Harth, Iri, and Lenore would visit him in the next few days to see if they could convince him to make his decision sooner or influence him somehow to accept it, but they never did. They said what they wanted, told their reasons, and now were calmly accepting his choice. "While I am not a real kid, refusing them wouldn't make…

"I am a healer, and while I never saw anyone suffering from amnesia, maybe I can help you," The redhead woman said. "... As long as you don't touch my head and use any magic, you can check my head," Raiden said after realizing that he would only look suspicious if he kept rejecting medical attention. "By the way, she is my wife; her name is Lenore," Harth said. "Aside from being the best healer here, she is also the current leader of the village." Now Raiden felt like he had even more reasons to…

"Where are we going to stop?" Raiden asked. "Don't dodge my question... Father has to report about the work, and you all need to be taken care of for a few days to regain your health fully; there is a free building that we have where you will be taken care of," Iri explained. "You will be able to live freely here for a month before deciding what you want to do." That didn't look like the kind of place that would have slaves, so it seemed that everyone would be fine.
