"Once upon a time, the world consisted of various species that lived in their own region. Multiple species such as dragons, ogres, goblins, titans, etc are categorised as the race of monsters. The monsters have traits superior to the human race such as large body sizes, sharp teeth, thick skin and scales, strong movement and most importantly, they are blessed with magical abilities. However, overpopulation caused problems such as food supplies shortage and space limitation for the monsters since they multiply rapidly. They had to fight for territories in order to solve that problem. One day, the monsters found the human race to be vulnerable and started taking advantage of them. The monsters also found human meat to be delicious and started to eat them on a daily basis. That is how the era of chaos for the human race started, the age of where the strong rule over the week."

Currently, it is history class. So, um... this got to be boring. I guess Sir Atlas can teach history because he loves it. Well, I guess I should just be me instead of worrying about something so trivial like this.

"The monsters only see humans as easy meals and the humans could do nothing but hide in fear. Azaria was built as the last human empire in the midst of everything. Nevertheless, the human empire was still unable to protect themselves from the savage monsters. As the human race struggles to live in the age of chaos, the emperor of humankind, Will Maximillian Stardust dreamt of three blade wielding heroes who can save the humans. When the civilians heard about the emperor's dream, they took it as a delusion the emperor conjured in the state of desperation. That is until signs of the dream coming true start to appear, and the so-called delusion becomes a prophecy. The tales of the three legendary sacred blades that fought with the heroes were engraved in the history of Azaria."

That is one heck of a long paragraph.

"Mr. Evans."

"Eh! Y... yes sir!"

"See me after class."

"Yes sir!"

What did I do?

The whole class is looking at me giggling. Unlucky day for me, I guess. Did he realise that I was unmotivated? But how did he notice that? Perhaps it's for another reason...

"Everyone, you can stop glancing on Mr. Evans now, today we continue from..."

They obeyed the order obediently. Well, thank you for averting those discomforting gazes just now sir. You are the cause of it though.

"Did you do something Evans?" Quinn asked.

"I don't know."

"Maybe because you look so gloomy, he wants you to cheer up. Don't worry!"

"Eyes on the lecturer Quinn."

"Yes, yes."

Our conversation stopped there, and I start listening to the lecture attentively as usual.

And accidentally slept ten minutes later until the end of the class.

--- [Sir Atlas Cubicle] ---

Currently, I'm at the front of Sir Atlas doorstep. All I need to do is knock the door and take a step to enter. That is all, but I cannot muster enough courage to do it.

I wonder why though. Maybe I should just turn back and go home. I afraid he will ask me why I did not come tomorrow ugh...
