Immortal Identity

Chapter 01

"The Start"

It was an exciting moment for me when the Director of the University College of Reading called me in for the job I applied for which was very easy due to the fact that I had major certificate as a History Teacher Major on All parts of History, Political, Economical and Intellectual History. And yes, I passed them all in one examination that made the other professors surprised and amazed as to what knowledge I had even though I am only 23 years old, which what I said when I took the examinations, and everyone agreed that I am truly knowledgeable and recognized as one of great historians of the period.

Mostly for Medieval and Ancient History I excelled the most due to the fact that I have lived in that time. There was I entering the Director's room who joyfully greeted me with much passion and expectations which was very great and reassuring for me. There he asked me why Reading? why did not I go to other prestigious universities in England? The answer was nothing actually I did not think of it just act on my intuition.

As the Director looked at me with so much concerns mostly due to my look since I looked like im in my 20's and that was right I am in my 23 years old appearance and did not even aged a bit for so long as I remembered.

But to answer the Director's question, I replied to him that I am actually interested to the school's reputation not duly  for the amount of money it has or something it was an art - like school for me that it was a very fitting for a person like me who liked history more than anyone else.

That answer stunned the Director seeing my passionate reply to him he said to me that I am going to start on Monday, start of the class this year of 1921, and must be ready to teach the students very carefully.

After the short interview assessment, I went back out of the room and suddenly had the urge to scan and walk through the entire school. The school buildings and grounds was so large and vast. It really was a great school. 

Looking at the students walking, youngsters who mostly looked more adult than I am, hence got their attention due to my face.

"Who was that?" a group of students sitting around near the grassland. 

I continued walking around but I don't know why students looked at me like I was some kind of new student at their school and then suddenly a student which was a woman came to me and asked my name which I politely replied, "Allen", just the name she asked so I gave it to her and there she was giggling with excitement that I thought was weird while watching her going back to her classmates whispering like a bunch of squirrels.

I did not know why but somebody in the past said that I was a good looking man added the knowledge I have and ability to fight as a warrior was my charms as they said in the past but I rarely even remembered who it was because it was so much long ago when I was a warrior fighting for the Roman Empire. 

As I thought of those days, I randomly got into a library which made me more curious because I rarely saw a library in my everyday life and now might be that chance to dig up some information about the past.

I walked toward the library and opened the door which has a sign board saying "Open But please Be Quiet!" and that made me struck and laughed for a bit because why would they need such a sign to warn students? Are the students coming in the library are loud mouthed students? Probably since most of students here are members of the high society of England in Reading.

I studied the culture of England. Mostly that goes to colleges were notable people in the country that's why its a great college to go to and a great way to have a good job at the government or so.

But whatever, I continued and opened the door and a student representative who was sitting greeted me normally but it seems her eyes were a little stumbled and surprised when she looked at me as if she saw ghost or something so that's why I asked if there's something wrong with my face and she shook her head like nothing and asked her again if it was alright if I can read some books while killing sometime.

I also said that I am going to teach history next Monday and told her if its fine reading the books inside and she just answered "Yes go on thank you!" with such great politeness.

Then I walked straight to the history sections and tried finding anything to do with ancient society and roman eras. I only found 4 books containing such information I seek.

There I took them out of the book shelves and put them on the table carefully and silently and sat down.

While I'm at it I noticed that all students were looking at me as if I am some kind of a weird person that's why I looked at them back and they avoided my eyes as if they have something against me or not?

Well anyway, that was such a small matter but the big one was that I heard the girl who was the library representative who gave me access to the books talking to a students and wanting his ID pass or something but the student doesn't have one so the girl strictly denied his access to the library that moment.

What a surprise actually she gave me access even though I did not give her any identification cards at all. That was quite surprising and weird again. I know that I have charms here and there but I did not boast or believe in it and just do things the way it will be.

Anyway, I am not the kind of person to involved my self in such a troublesome things and stared reading the history books I took and slowly reading all of it. It maybe hard for a normal person but for me, I did not know why before but I realized sometime before that I have an ability to learn faster and memorize things easily much faster than that of a "Genius" people call. 

I did not know it whether be it fighting, learning, academics I can learn them all easily.

That's why I am scared of my self to be too recognized and that's why I changed my name so many times in the course of the years I have lived.

I was so immersed reading the books that I did not notice the time flew by fast. its already been 4 hours since I came to the library and still reading books.

But some students which was staring at me still inside and most of them are female students who did not leave the library and most male are gone. 

There, I finished all of them and put all the books I took back to their shelves and walked toward the librarian student and thanked her and as I am looking at her, it seems she has some weird facial expressions I cant modify at all. Why was her face seem so reddish and weird? It was the only term I can use to for those kind of women I approach and I did not know why at all.

There I thanked her again and got out of the library and gone home.
