The appearance of the river beast gave rise to panic but it also died down quickly.
Our town was situated at the border of a wild forest but there was a strong barricade array separating the two lands. This array was laid down by powerful mages at the border, preventing any wild mana beast from the forest to invade the human domain.
Hence no wild mana beast has ever infiltrated our town for decades now.
Suddenly the appearance of a river beast in the woods of Merrian town stirred quite a panic. The town elders reported this news to the guild masters who then sent a team of experts to reexamine the border, to check if the array had been compromised. But they didn't find any defects in the protective array.
Later the guild master gave a stern talking to the town elders when they heard that a couple of brats were the ones who spotted a river beast. They immediately declared the kids were just delusional and henceforth shouldn't trouble the guild if they don't have any concrete evidence. They left a warning to the town elders this one time.
It's been about 5 months since that incident.
Right now I am lying in my room exhausted.
I had just finished doing the homework that my mom had given me.
After that incident, I hardly got to go to the woods to train.
Most of the time goes on studying!
I am not against studying mana manipulation but I don't like reading pointless subjects like language and maths.
I already am fluent in the human language and can also read and write.
But what the hell is the abomination called 'Grammar'
Why the hell does it even exist?
I mean we can talk, convey our message to one another.
So why do small things like grammar be given so much importance?
It was the same with people with nobility.
When I was the Overlord and had to deal with those noblemen, they always talked with such a pompous tone and used complicated words. They just loved talking to themselves, I could never make sense of most of the conversation we had. I had to hire a personal assistant to deal with their random bullshit. It was so frustrating!
One thing I noticed was that the nobility of every race loves to practice ethics and mannerism. These nobles look at other people who speak crudely with disdain. As if they are looking at a piece of rotting poop who happens to have a mouth. Gloxinia force-... I mean, she made me learn about the way a royalty should behave.
I was just an orphan street urchin, so I never learned manners or ethics.
This subject called Grammar was the same thing here.
'Grammar' was just made by a presumptuous perfectionist who had a lot of time in hand to waste.
But anyway, I had no choice but to learn it, thanks to my strict teacher... my mother.
The next subject I hated was Mathematics.
I came to know that in maths, there were more things than just addition and subtraction.
Dad taught me mathematics so that I could take over our family business and help him in the near future.
