Chapter 16 - Village’s Eastern Forest

"Should I repeat again? It will be tremendously painful" Danir said in bit disappointment which Felix can guess why, 'I don't care about pain but I don't intend to spend years without seeing my family' Felix made up his mind "I can cope", Danir let out a sigh and close his eyes "I was personally thinking of going with meditation, even though it will take time, we are forgetting that Felix has a aura core also, the focus in avoiding the collision of both cores and the a heavy toll of pain on the body of a child, I think we should wait for few years before learning magic" This statement gives a sense of relief to Bastro and Nellie but for Felix it was somewhat dissatisfactory, 'This damn body! No choice then' Felix was going to nod but he remembered "Wait, then why can't I learn it with meditation if not for an external mana method?" It was another hope for Felix but Danir statement didn't support it "In middle of any process we can't change it" Danir looked in Felix's black pupil which were shining brightly with a spark shouting his desires, "Fine, stabilize your Aura Core for another one year, then we will proceed with Magic".

'Tsk-Tsk, shit this pain, I have to wait for another year…' Felix was disheartened because the most curious of his was attached with magic, but it has to delay this many times and he was getting annoyed also because of another reason 'This old man is so dignified but why can't he maintain this in sleep!' Felix was lying on the bed and next to him Danir was sleeping with loud snoring because the guest room is not clean and tidy to use right now.

Felix thought that the old mage will leave because he can't teach magic for another year but after Felix came home from his daily morning training he found Danir just woke up, 'Hmm I think he will leave after breakfast'. After breakfast Danir left the house but without his luggage 'Huh? What the- did he don't care about those luggage' Felix knew that the books Danir brought were not going anywhere but he didn't take another bag also. After one-hour Danir came back home again, "Felix, do you have any work right now?" "No, but I have sword training again after two hours" Felix usually trains and meditates or stays in smithery. A smile came on Danir's face and he said "Oh~ That's enough time" a chill went down Felix's back on this sinister grin.

'We are walking for more than half-hour, where is he taking me?' Danir took Felix to the outskirts of the village in the eastern region of the dense forest but didn't tell the reason and location, just instructed to follow him. After a few more minutes Danir stopped in an open area of almost twenty to fifteen meters wide. There were a few large stones placed in a corner, "Um- Sir Danir, why are we here?" Felix was confused, looking around the open space, "Even though I will not teach you magic for now" Danir turned toward Felix and continued "But at least I can teach you bookish knowledge of country" Danir had a greedy face with a wide smile which creep out Felix, he didn't want to lose an exceptional genius that's why Danir decided to teach Felix about the records of past till present system of the Anthromus Kingdom in which Felix live.

"Based on Bastro's statement, you have taken village academy's test but you already knew their syllabus of maths, general knowledge and basic reasoning, in short you stroke a thunderbolt on those academy instructor" Danir said, "…yes" Felix's cheeks reddened and a slight smile came, even if he was not any genius but according to his build he was. "Well anyways, I will not bother to teach you that" Danir took out a book from his cloak and continued "We will start with the history from today".

After a month, Felix gets to know many things, first was that this world is land which is healing itself from a catastrophic war which took place thousands of years before for which Danir used a poem, "A realm of scars, where shadows fell, A thousand years of healing, wounds to tell. The land revives, from war's cruel past, Echoes of strife, forever to last. What do you understand about this?" Danir was sitting on the huge stones of the open area of the forest and Felix was sitting on the ground which was the order of his master, "Hmm… I think this poem was about any war" Felix tries to grasp the meaning but he was not quite good in this sort of literature and poetry. "Yeah, it's about a war, a very gruesome one" Danir was looking at the sky then pulled his eyes down at Felix "Have you ever gone to the other village or any city?" Felix tried to remember but it was clear that he never steps out of the village's forest which was covering it in all directions. Felix shook his head and Danir looked in the book which he had closed till now and start reading a page,

[Almost ten-millennia ago, a war ravaged the world as every kingdom, every race, and all continents united to protect it from the catastrophe of demons crawling out of hell. Our world sank into an endless void of failures; there were no means, no knights, no mage—everything seemed a futile resistance against an absolute being known as the Demon God. 

Then, a hero arose. Hundreds of dragons filled the endless sky, and atop them stood a human who fought that absolute figure and won the war.]

'What a load of bullshit…' Felix was in surprise and couldn't pull himself to believe these fairytales and Danir caught his thoughts and said "Once you step out of this pond–you will realise how deadly the ocean is. It will not be wise to start arguing, for now let's leave it here".

After that fairytale story according to Felix was left and Danir started the lessons of geographical land masses and few basic information of those regions. The Scaled Domain, a continent situated in the western region of this world where dragons are said to reside but no one has ever seen one. Scuro Continent which is situated in the east but for some Danir didn't tell anything about this continent. Orkenesia Continent a northern continent which is covered with desert, Kryhan Continent a southern continent which is covered in snow and glaciers, lastly the Zysvie Continent where Felix and most of the population of this world has took shelters as home, a central continent which has fertile land, suitable climate and temperature. But the most awful fact is that this is the continent which has most of the conflicts, disputes, and struggles. The continents like Kryhan and Orkenesia which don't have as many resources as the central land mass, but have peaceful nations. The Zysvie Continent has three kingdoms divided into humans, elves and dwarves which don't have friendly relationships. Danir was explaining this but let out a sigh of frustration "I was really planning to go to other continents, but still this place is also not bad." Felix also knew those frustrating and meaningless competition of power and fame so he can't help but sigh by remembering scuffle and tussle, 'By the way, this place really is actually far better and more peaceful' Felix's edge of mouth turned up and another day went in tranquility.
