Futuristic Fantasy: The Far Future

Guru

"KEIL!"

*byur*

Keil woke up with heavy eyes while his body was already drenched.

"Is this what you mean 'not to disappoint'? Hurry up, take a shower, and get your clothes changed. I prepared it in front of the bathroom. The clothes there are a little different than the ones you wear. Then, find out for yourself how to wear it!"

"Teacher, I'm sorry! i—"

Not looking down perfectly, the teacher interrupted him.

"Have time! Hurry up, I'll make sixty counts or you'll meet your second sentence!"

"All right.."

Keil hurried out of his room. He looked to the right and to the left. The right direction is the front door, then he takes the left to go to the bathroom in question.

In Keil village, the bathroom is something that is rarely made. The villagers used to pee and bathe in the river and they were not ashamed to be naked. However, a code of conduct applies that men and women have separate associations.

There are only a few bathrooms in his village that some people build, especially the elders and temple leaders. And, there are two public bathrooms of which one serves as a place to urinate. There will be some leaves. And another one serves as a defecation place with large leaves as a wrapper of dirt along with dry rocks to clean.

Keil has reached the end of the road. He found a closed door with a small table in front of him. There was a set of clothes that Keil was unfamiliar with.

The clothes Keil wore were of animal skin and there was only one long shirt that covered up Keil's knees. Very simple, shaped like a rectangle with four holes. A hole for both feet, a hole for the head, and two holes for both hands without arms.

While what he saw in front of him consisted of two kinds. A short dress — compared to Keil—, and objects that Keil thought as a complement to cover the thigh down. Keil took the set of clothes and opened the door he thought was a bathroom.

Keil was surprised by what he saw and what he kissed. Inside was a bucket of water and a dipper along with an object that almost formed the letter 'O' with a hole on one side. Time-restricted Keil immediately changed clothes according to what he thought was right. Without much time wasted, Keil had finished knowing how to wear the first-look outfit. Keil immediately changed his clothes.

"Newly this time I found a pretty nice and smooth shirt on the skin. It's really comfortable to wear."

Keil chased after the time and ran towards the place where his teacher was sitting. His teacher sat on a wooden chair while looking at the outside view from the small window. Before Keil was right near him, he had already started to put out words. The words sounded right at the minimum distance of clear hearing in Keil's ears.

"A hundred and sixty-seven seconds more some. You've corrupted time almost three times over. All right, leave the punishment aside for later. We're going to start the first thing that matters most in the reciprocity between teacher and student".

Why so fast? How does the teacher count?

Am I right to tell you my heart? How does the teacher read it? What's wrong with face?

"That's right. Meanwhile, the technologists you are after all have this ability at a higher level. Stop thinking about something and focus on your first lesson"

"Good.."

The teacher turned his face and stood up, then turned the chair towards Keil.

"Sit"

Keil sat with his legs folded vertically in front of his face.

"Sit down!"

Keil is still in his position.

"Sit down!!"

Keil did not understand what his teacher was saying.

"This is why starting a number from a single digit is so tiring"

The teacher stood up and fixed Keil's sitting position. He formed a sitting position with his legs crossed. And put Keil's hands on both knees. Then, confirm Keil's body position as the last touch.

"Remember this sitting position at every meeting—leson—. If you break just a little bit, some punishment will wait again. Keep it good"

"Good.."

"Now..."

The teacher returned to his chair. His hand took out a small book the size of his palm. The book was taken from a small round table beside him. Apparently, there are several other books stacked under it of the same size.

"We're gonna start our first lesson"
