“Errm may I answer?” (Rina)
The informant girl Rina raiser her hand timidly.
“Of course. What is the spirits name?” (Eniyunien)
“It’s Fairy Dog Gauire right?” (Rina)
“Uumu….. correct.” (Eniyunien)
The scarlet monument king and dark king both look back at Rina.
They both heard the answer but obviously the name meant nothing to them. They both use their demon eyes on Rina looking her up and down fully.
“I’ll explain about that spirit later in another class. I have a few more questions first.” (Eniyunien)
A new problem appeared on the wall.
“What is the name of the spirit’s strongest swordsman who holds a broken shield in one hand and a broken pike in his other hand?” (Eniyunien)
Again, the only one who raised her hand was Rina.
“Is the contradictory swordsman Baburoana right?” (Rina)
“Correct answer. There are few rumours about Baburoana. It’s a rare fairy that hardly ever encountered. You are well informed.” (Eniyunien)
Rina nods vaguely.
Fumu. Is this information she got as an informant?
“Hmm, if it was a slightly older spirit I could possibly answer but at the moment I have no idea.” (Eleonor)
“Fuufuufuu. Then let’s ask a question about a famous spirit. Call it a service question.” (Eniyunien)
Instead of words, 3 pictures appeared but they are pretty poor.
One is a stick man. One is something that could be a wriggling earthworm and the last one is a black circle with hairs on it.
I’m not even sure I’d call them drawings.
“These drawings depict 3 famous spirits. What are their names?” (Eniyunien)
Not a single person raised their hand.
“Don’t you know either Rina-chan?” Eleonor asked Rina who shook her head.
“…..Well, no matter how famous these spirits are, these….drawings are so bad its impossible to tell.” (Rina)
Rina muttered in a subdued voice.
The whole classroom shook like an earthquake was occurring.
“Whaaaaaaaat!!!!?” (Eniyunien)
The great tree Eniyunien is shaking with anger.
“This ones education. This one is called the great tree of education. Are you trying to criticise my educaaaaation!!!” (Eniyunien)
His angry voice echoed around the classroom.
It’s so loud it would hurt the ears of an ordinary person.
“Well well well. This isn’t good. Eniyunien often throws a tantrum if you criticise his class.” (Gilisris)
The scarlet monument king turned his gelatinous face towards me.
“Fumu. Any way to calm him down?” (Arnos)
“Just answer his questions correctly I guess. If you don’t, I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone got a score of 0.” (Gilisris)
“Then why don’t you answer?” (Arnos)
The scarlet monument king shrugs his shoulders in an exaggerated manner.
It’s impossible to guess the spirits from drawings with such bad artistic ability.
“Arrogant demon king. Like I’ve said before, you are too prideful.” The dark king Ejes said turning to me with a glint in his eye.
“And yet you can’t answer either can you?” (Arnos)
“How would I know? Knowing the identity of that stick figure is like a river flowing backwards. There is reason in all things but doesn’t mean you understand it.” (Ejes)
“Fumu. Reason in all things huh? Then watch and understand.” (Arnos)
I raise my hand and stand up before pointing to the stick figure.
“The six wings on that stickman represent the great spirit Reno, the mother of all spirits.” (Arnos)
I then point to the earthworm.
“The countless dots around it are rain representing the great spirit of water Riniyon.” (Arnos)
I then point to the last picture of the furry black circle.
“Without a doubt that represents the round, cute eyes of the Titi’s.” (Arnos)
The classroom stops shaking.
Eniyuniens anger calms down.
“Umu. All correct. Arnos Voldigod I grant you the seal of graduation.” (Eniyunien)
My uniform glows and a medal in the shape of fairy wings appears.
I graduated with only this?
This may be the great tree of learning but it seems it’s also the great tree of self-interest. What a mercenary place.
Whatever. To be fair this could also be part of its character due to its rumours and legends for all I know.
“….How did you get the great spirit Reno…… from that stickman….?” Ejes muttered in a puzzled tone of voice.
“…….That crawling worm thing is Riniyon……..?” Gilisris’ gelatinous face is filled with extreme doubt.
“Just to let you know but it wasn’t a fluke.” (Arnos)
I address the 2 confused people
“It’s because you don’t understand something like this that you’ve never been able to defeat me.” (Arnos)
