Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground

Chapter 9: Lesson

Atticus strolled leisurely towards his lesson, taking in the morning air and enjoying the peacefulness. As he made his way through, his attention was captivated by the majestic sight of the Ravenstein Mansion that he just came out of. The grandeur of the mansion's architecture caught his eye, its towering presence exuding an aura of elegance and history.

The mansion stood proudly, its intricate details and ornate design showcasing the craftsmanship of the modern era. As he continued his walk, Atticus found himself drawn to the mansion's expansive gardens.

The manicured lawns, bursting with vibrant flowers and meticulously trimmed hedges, added a burst of color to the surroundings. Atticus couldn't resist stopping for a moment to take in the breathtaking view, appreciating the careful planning and dedication that went into maintaining such a stunning landscape.

The sunlight danced off the mansion's windows, casting a warm glow that seemed to invite Atticus closer. With a sense of awe and appreciation, Atticus reluctantly tore his gaze away from the beautiful scene and continued on his way to the lesson.

As Atticus entered the room with a confident stride, his gaze landed on a woman with lustrous brown hair cascading down her shoulders, adding a touch of warmth to her appearance. Her hair framed a face that exuded intelligence and kindness, inviting anyone who crossed her path to feel at ease. She was the teacher Anastasia got for Atticus.

As Atticus approached, she greeted him with a bow "Good morning, young master. Hope you slept well?"

"My night was great, thank you, miss Aeryn." Atticus replied calmly, with a smile. He enjoys his lesson with Aeryn and couldn't help but admire her looks. "You promised you'd tell me about Eldoralth's history today. I hope you don't plan on going back on your word" he continued.

"Of course not, young master. I've gotten permission from Lady Anastasia, you don't have to worry" Aeryn replied. She had been a little skeptical when they called her to teach a 4 year old, but despite his tender age, Atticus seemed to possess an uncanny ability to absorb knowledge like a sponge, leaving her in awe.

She couldn't help but acknowledge that Atticus was not at all inferior to adults in his capacity to grasp and retain various information.

In various subjects, Atticus displayed an astonishing aptitude. Concepts that typically baffle older students were effortlessly grasped by him. Whether it was basic addition or complex problem-solving, Atticus absorbed every lesson with an astounding ease.

His ability to comprehend and apply these concepts far surpassed what she had ever witnessed in a child his age. 'What a little monster'. She thought. She couldn't help but be excited about what he'll become when he grows up.

"That's great. Let's get started," said Atticus, while sitting down, a bit impatient to learn about his new world.

"Alright, young master." replied Aeryn. "Firstly, what do you know about our world?" she asked while looking at Atticus, curious to see what he knows.

"Nothing much. Just that there are other races out there and we're at war against an alien race" answered Atticus.

"Oh, you know about the war? I'm surprised Lady Anastasia allowed it" Aeryn replied, a little surprised Anastasia had allowed Atticus know about the war. Aeryn had always known Atticus' mother to be a fiercely protective woman, shielding Atticus from the harsh realities of the world.

"Alright, you're right about that. You see, a century in Eldoralth, humans coexisted with various other races, each with their own unique characteristics and cultures. However, tensions often ran high due to our differences, leading to a few wars throughout history.

But one day, everything changed. An alien race attacked, the Zorvans. They possessed advanced technology and strong bodies, posing a significant threat to us and other inhabitants of Eldoralth."

Aeryn paused to check if Atticus's was paying attention, and smiled when she saw him listening attentively. She continued,

"Humanity realized that we had to ally with the other races if we want to have a chance at defeating them. We initiated communication with other races, eventually forming a powerful alliance known as the Alliance of Eldorium.

With the Alliance in place, we gained access to invaluable knowledge and technologies, plus the technology we got from some defeated Zorvans, we advanced technologically during the war, which allowed us to start counter attacking." Aeryn stopped to take a sip of water from the cup on the table and continued.

"The aliens were inately more powerful than us, coupled with their advance technology, they were a force to be reckoned with. Even though we were winning some battles, we were slowly losing the war. Desperation sets in as our leaders realize that they would lose the war.

Fortunately, one day, in a secret meeting, the Alliance's top scientists present a revolutionary technology: a planetary shield capable of shielding the entire planet from the Zorvans."
