Building an Entertainment Business Kingdom In Another World

Episode 5 (UNFORESEEN COMPLIMENT)

After what happened this morning, I went to school as usual. My school is just a small school in the village hall.

I went to school with Sitha. He is my neighbor and my playmate. She wears a blue shirt and has wavy blue hair that is always braided.

His body was several centi taller than mine, he also had a very beautiful sapphire blue eyeball. She is an energetic and tomboyish girl. But her nature cannot cover her beauty for a child her age.

Sitha is a genius. At the age of 5, Sitha was miraculously able to use healing magic. Even so, he always tried hard and diligently attended school in order to help the economy of his family someday.

Our trip to school took about 15 minutes on foot.

Finally we arrived, I just realized that this place is not what I imagined before, it looks more like a daycare than a school. There are no lessons, there are just running around or playing wars like a child in general.

Here we studied with Mr. Einhard. Single, about 28 years old. His hobbies are lazing around and eating blind paychecks.

Even though with his ability yesterday, I had felt enthusiastic about becoming his student, but it turned out to be the opposite.

Now I know what the reason why this village never sends anyone to study in the capital. Then it was his fault.

I began to doubt Sitha who said that she studied hard every day to meet the expectations of the family. His job is just to play or heal his friends if anyone gets hurt. That'sthat's all.

I've been here for a week but the results remain the same, they just play and run around unclear while I read the book in front of the class page.

At school I found a lot of good and useful books. I honestly feel sorry why I didn't know this place before.

Our school consists of 5 students, they are Julius (14), Eric (12), Antonio (11), Sitha (7) and I. Julius, Eric and Antonio are three children who love to harm me, but strangely they are afraid of Sitha.

Watching them play on the sidelines of my time reading books turned out to be a pretty fun routine. The only thing that bothers me is Mr. Einhard who always upsets my pleasure.

“How are you doing now?”

“We are fine sir. By the way, I want to ask Pak”

“What do you want to ask?”

“Pak Einhard what can we get if we go to school in the capital?”

“Education, indeed what else you will get”

Mr. Einhard answered my question in a flat tone. I feel sorry to ask such a serious person like Mr. Einhard. While it is true, the answer is a bit annoying because it is not the answer I expected.

“I mean learning facilities that we can get”

“Oh that's what you mean. Access to research, books and various matters relating to magic and martial arts, forging and medicine. Of course everything is supported by hostel and food that you will get for free”

“Can we work part-time?”

“By the rules there is no prohibition, but studying in the capital is very heavy. You will be burdened by intensive study and training projects, and it is really tiring”

Mr. Einhard's face suddenly looked grim, I felt that he was recalling a dark past.

“What is the name of the best academy there Mr Einhard?”

“As our royal name, Stacia Academy. Uh don't-don't you go there. No, it's impossible. You can be accepted there. There are only filled with nobles and talented people”.

Her words really suck. Did he not know that I was a smart child and full of talent. I'll prove that I can get in there.

“By the way Mr Einhard has attended the academy where?

“From Stacia” Academy

Although his ability was really convincing, but the answer was really dubious. Where there might be a lazy and useless person like him attending an elite academy. There are only two possibilities, if not Mr. Einhard who lied about the origin of his school then he lied about the name of his best academy.

“Homped. Don't-don't Mr. Einhard say that because graduates from sana”

“No, that's the truth. How could I lie to something that is known by the public like this”

“Means Mr. Einhard lied if you ever went to school there”

“Where might I lie. If you don't believe me, just ask them if they know the name Einhard The Prince of Piercing Light”

“No need sir, thank you. I better believe it. At most they have forgotten if you ever went to school there”

In fact, no matter how famous you were when you were in school in two or three years they will definitely forget you unless you are the smartest or most troubled kid in school. The problem is I'm sure Mr. Einhard isn't one of them.

“Hehehe, yes also”

Mr. Einhard laughed embarrassedly upon hearing my answer.

“Then, what can we do after graduating from the academy?”

“Working in Holy Temples, Kingdoms or Organizations Adventurer”

Adventurers Organization? Looks interesting. In a game they usually live freely without being bound by rules such as in the Holy Temple or Kingdom. That's what I hear from my friends.

“Can we join the Adventurers Organization without attending the Academy?”

“There are no rules, but you will find it difficult to form a team. The higher your rank, the more difficult the mission will be. Usually working as a team is used as one of the requirements. As great as you are, as long as you never go to school, they will still underestimate you”

Totally discriminatory. People are judged on educational background rather than ability. Meaning inevitably, attending the academy was the only way to become an adventurer.

“Oh yes, by the way why don't you play with them?”

“Well, why didn't you teach us something?”

I asked Mr. Einhard back, I think he should be a little bit insinuating so that he would feel ashamed of his position as a teacher. This is a school not a daycare, even a daycare is much more educational than this.

“Uhuk”

Mr. Einhard seems misbehaved with my question. Then his face changed as usual and he said,

“Fighting and defending are human instincts, in contrast to magic that needs practice and good understanding to be able to master it”

I was shocked to hear a serious reply from Mr. Einhard. I think he'll be embarrassed when I insinuate him.

There's nothing wrong with Mr. Einhard's way of thinking. Indeed, the ability to survive is a natural talent that humans have. In other words, using violence is the most primitive way that humans have. In contrast to using magic that uses basic thinking as its source, in other words practice is the key.

But still I feel something is wrong. Where in the history of human civilization, the ability to fight is not only based on survival instinct but also experience and a strong rationale. That is the reason why humans can develop various types of martial arts.

“Keep why as long as Mr Einhard teaches here no one can study in the royal capital?”

Mr. Einhard pretended to cough in shock at my question.

“Whatever their ability or as hard as their training, in the end who can be restrained is he who has determination and strong belief. Without a strong determination, teaching you only to be able to attend school in the capital is like leading you to the brink of death. I don't want to do that”

From his words I don't know if he's a slacker or a genius who can see the talents of others. But letting me learn all I wanted showed that he thought I didn't have enough talent to study in the capital. It seems Mr. Einhard has misjudged me. I will prove that I can attend school in the Royal Capital even though I do not have magic and fighting abilities.

Suddenly a large group of soldiers came to our school. They numbered about 250 people. Among them was a man wearing a golden armor.

Mr. Einhard looks surprised. Instantly he told the children to line up neatly. I saw Mr. Einhard who was usually relaxed and happy to laze turned into a disciplined person. Is this what I mean by imaging?

“Einhard, did you know what happened in the forest near the village a few days ago”

“No His Majesty”

Mr. Einhard lied with a very convincing face. His gaze straight ahead, without any fear, while giving false news will be rewarded with the death penalty.

I don't know why Mr. Einhard tried to cover it up, when it was clear that there was nothing else going on in the forest other than the damage he and father had done. It felt impossible if the person the knight was referring to was father, he was just an ordinary blacksmith. If not that, then who and what events are meant by the two of them, ah really I really do not know.

“I'm sure he's here, I know very well who can do such damage”

“I didn't find anything Your Majesty, everything was like that when I came to see it”

“Alright I believe in you because you are an honest”

“Cause I'm already here, I'll do the exam myself. Which one of you is 15 years old”

“I, Your Majesty”

Julius raised his hand with confidence.

“Do you have magic power”

“No, Your Highness”

“Morgan forward, unlock your armor”;

A soldier came forward and took off his armor.

“Julius pull out your sword, Morgan will fight you without using his weapons and magic power. If you can make a scratch then you will graduate and be able to go to school wherever you want”

Julius looked frightened, his hands and feet were trembling while Mr. Einhard could only look away.

Julius as if to show his courage, he advanced forward and swung his weapon with all his might but with just a single push he fell to the ground.

“Enough, from tomorrow you don't have to come to school anymore. Just help your father and mother, it will be more useful”

“Sorry Your Honor, he's just a 15-year-old kid. It's too heavy for him”, Mr. Einhard interrupted.

“Einhard do you not believe my judgment, well I will explain. I didn't expect him to win or be able to hurt my best soldiers. What I want to see is whether he has the determination and the confidence as a soldier or not. His determination was too weak, he would only be the first to die in a fight. I just saved him so as not to die in vain”

I think the explanation makes sense. But I feel like there's some kind of discrimination here. If you have magic abilities, no matter strong or weak, he can easily be accepted into the academy. But if you do not have magic skills, you must have talent and fighting ability. While there is no clear standard of assessment of the talents and abilities that must be owned by someone in order to be declared a pass.

“Sorry Your Majesty, if I can get over it would you give him a chance. Not now but at the time specified”

I tried to negotiate with the golden knight. I think this test is too much for a child of Julius' age, even though it sounds strange to say by a 7-year-old who is trying to challenge the knight.

“Interesting, it looks like you're a kid who has courage”

“Andra stop, quickly apologize”

Mr. Einhard interrupted our conversation. He looked angry at my insolent behavior but he was also afraid of what would happen to me.

“No sir, I feel this exam is not fair”

“Hei son, what is your name?”, the Golden Knight asked me

“Syailendra Parikesit”

“Alright, I wonder if your ability is as big as your speech and courage”

I saw Julius walking towards me with his hands and feet trembling. Her tears were flowing but she did not say a word.

“Your Majesty, please forgive Syailendra. He is still too small to understand what is going on, he is still 7 years”

Mr. Einhard sat down before the knight asking for forgiveness for my insolent behavior towards him.

“I'm not mad at him Einhard, I just want to know if his ability is as big as his speech and determination or not. I promise that Morgan won't hurt him. Forward son, as a man you have to prove your point”

I stepped forward and faced the man who had defeated Julius. I feel an overwhelming pressure, is this the aura of a trained warrior accustomed to fighting? Julius felt trembling in front of him.

“Nak remove your weapon”

I also took a position while holding the handgun I had prepared.

The knight took off his helmet to confirm what he saw, then scrunched his forehead as if he did not believe what he saw. It was clear that this was an understatement.

All I can do is understand him because this is not something that is common in this world. There's only one thing I can do, prove his views wrong.

“Are you seriously going to use that weapon son?”

“Don't look at the book from the cover of His Majesty, instead I want to warn you to order his soldiers to use his armor if you don't want him to get hurt”

“Hei son, pull back your words. If you insult my ability means indirectly you insult Your Majesty”

The soldier without armor interjected while leaning against me, then he raised his chin slightly to show who was in charge here. As an experienced soldier, he knew very well how to intimidate his opponent.

“Hahaha, good son I like your faith, try to prove your words”

The golden soldier laughed happily, but I did not see any aura of arrogance or hatred that he faced towards me. The way he talks looks natural, it looks like a helmet and the way he wears that makes him look arrogant.

I see the soldier without armor has taken his horses. He looked very alert, but I knew that he was just provoking me to make a mistake and then did exactly what he did to Julius.

The look in his eyes was that of a sly and domineering person, he just wanted to show a huge difference in strength between us. But unfortunately I was used to seeing the gaze of people like him in my previous world. The stupid, predictable behavior.

“Hei son, why don't you come attack me”

“It is precisely I who want to ask, are you not too vigilant to attack me first”

I tried to provoke back.

Suddenly the armless parjurit ran straight trying to attack me. As I expected, for a person who had an arrogant and domineering attitude seemed to be provoked by a weaker person like an insult.

Dor. My friends closed their ears in fear of hearing that loud noise.

Instantly the soldier fell down and grabbed his injured leg.

I ran towards Sitha and took her dagger, then I ran towards the soldier with a dagger in my hand. Like someone who wants to kill him.

“Stop Andra”, Mr. Einhard yelling

By reflex I stopped. Wow, that's almost. I saw a sword right around my neck. I don't know when the golden warrior got off his horse and ran towards me.

“What you want to do nak”

“I just want to remove a foreign object in his body. If the object is not removed for a long period of time, it could cause serious effects to his body”.

“Sorry Your Majesty if I interrupt, although Syailendra cannot hold back his words but he is a trustworthy child”, Mr. Einhard said

The golden soldier put his sword back in its sheath while watching what I was about to do.

“Sitha kemir”

“A”, ,

He pointed his index finger at himself as if he could not believe that I was calling him.

“Iya”

Sitha walked towards me. I also tore a little gunshot wound that was in the foot of the soldier. Sitha could only turn her face away, as if she could not bear to see what I was doing.

“Sitha please heal her”

Sitha cast her magic, I guess the wound will close quickly. Apparently not, slowly but surely it finally works as well. Sitha limped but I managed to support her body.

I saw that the soldier was able to stand on his own. Then he looked at me as if he did not believe me and left me.

“Hahaha, amazing Einhard, you are amazing. How can you train them to be a genius at such a young age. Hey son what's your name?”

The Golden Warrior laughed while clapping his hands. He seemed enthusiastic about what Sitha and I had done as if he had seen an amazing performance.

“Sitha Prameswari”

“All right I'll remember your names. Syailendra and Sitha, you stand before me. I, Arthur Pendragon King of Stacia declare you pass the test and you can attend any academy you want in my kingdom”.

Hah king, am I not mistaken to hear it. He should be called His Majesty. Well, it looks like I'm dealing with the wrong guy.

“Syailendra, what weapons are you using?”

“This is His Majesty” handgun

“Handgun? Where did you get it?”

“My father made him Your Majesty, but unfortunately he just died a few days ago”

“Very unfortunate. Will you sell it to me?”

“Pardon Your Majesty, this is the only relic that father gave me”

“Well if so. By the way, do you guys want to attend the academy at this time also”.

Sitha looked at me, from the way she looked at him as if she said I would follow whatever your decision. Really no stand.

“Sorry Your Majesty, for this matter I have to discuss it with mom”

“And you how is Sitha?”

“I'm afraid because there are no friends my age, Your Honor. But if Syailendra comes, I'll come to”

Damn, I was only made a living shield by Sitha.

“Syailendra show me the way to your home”

“Sorry Your Majesty, my home is no one”

Whatever it is, I have to figure out a way to keep King Arthur from seeing mom. There are two reasons that make me not want to make him meet with mother, first I do not want my family to deal with royal people and secondly there is still some business that I have not finished here.

“Where is your mother?

“Go to the forest looking for mushrooms and plants”

“Einhard you go to the forest, find his mother”

Ck.. In the end my efforts failed.

“Good Your Majesty", Mr. Einhard said as he bowed and turned to face his students, saying, "Today's children are done. You guys can go home”.

My friends are excited because they can go home sooner.

Holy Movement

Then Mr. Einhard left very quickly to see my mother.
