Chapter 205: Connection (5)
Perseus POV
"Gods suck anyway, no wonder the rumors aren't that well-known yet."
"Are you sure that you want to say such blasphemy? Weren't you reported to isolate yourself in a chamber with a shrine dedicated to the autumn goddess yesterday?" he asked as he then crossed his arms
Man, the more I meet with this guy, the more strange I find his orange hair, heck, all the natural colored hair in this world, I've seen bright green, yellow, all sorts.
"Aren't your parents also religious?" He asked
"They are, but I'm not, I'd even insult a god to their face if I got the chance, even that stupid god named Saber."
"Hah, if you can do that and survive, I'd run around this tree naked." Edward joked
"Are you sure? You have a wife, and you're already popular with the ladies, if you do that, no one is helping you."
"I wouldn't even accept the bet, I don't want to see you lose."
Funny, because I have done that on a few occasions already. I checked the venue and there's supposedly like enough seats for like 300 kids, which sucks, I got no experience teaching anything, I curse in every few sentence...why was I picked for this?
"So just basic magic, how government is useless, why anarchy is superior...what else am I teaching?"
"Please just teach the first part and show some personal spells, that's it, we will then arrange a personal q&a session with each of the children." Edward replied
"What's this? An Idol concert or something? I have to talk with them after the session too?"
"Yes, we told you this."
"Damn. I'll be having more social interaction in one day than I did the past month."
"And that doesn't sadden you?" he asked "That you're all alone?"
"I'm not alone, don't worry, even if I go into hiding, certain people will somehow manage to find me."
We went inside and inspected al the tools, most of the tools are for the kids from Zoris, our education system are different as they were made to educate people of a different physique. Regular people outside here usually have tools to help them slowly learn to stabilize their magic until they learn to be able to do it without help.
Their method are usually quicker, but they have a weaker foundation, but still, even some experiments where they don't do that method, they were proven effective, just not to the level where it's really passable by my village's standard, we are forced to do things the old fashion way with no tools, I've seen children cried as teachers pushed them past their limits every day.
Our methods does cause a lot of protest by people living in Zoris and other continents. They were preaching about people's rights or whatever, but despite the cries of both blood and tears, the kids here aren't really complaining, so their protest don't matter.
Lloyd is also apparently coming along to visit his old home after his time as a part of the royal family, though rumors say that his life isn't really that easy as certain royal family members treat him more like a pet than as a relative, using him as a guard dog and is raising him only to give him away.
If the talk of him being a secret genius is true, the royal family might consider otherwise, but for now, he's a royal knight with a small rank to his name, known to be hardworking, but also known to not have a lot of friends as people usually do not like approaching him.

3rd Person POV
On the other side, Jerah has received a letter of invitation, he checked to see that it was from Cain, in it was that Cain wanted to meet him and ask a few questions about a few topics with his main one being 'can abilities go from one world to another?'.
Jerah knew in his mind that this is probably related to Perseus, Cain definitely has something to do with the recent breach from the other world, and the thing brought over was some message or report by his spy. Perseus possess abilities that has most of its traits recorded while a few of them were made public in order for people to be cautious of him.
In his conversation with Dawn recently, he has learned a few thing through Dawn from Maple and Perseus, through rumors the heroes do suspect Perseus to be some sort of reincarnation of Loki, this was from Maple, though they doubt that he is the same person, they prayed to her for some forgiveness.
They suspect that he looks the same because Rolan brought him on the bus and died while they on the other hand were summoned, and he served as one of the reminders of the sacrifices that gave them their power, it's what's motivating them to go on as they pray to all the gods for forgiveness.
When the time arrived, Jerah went to the site and met up with Cain, they started with just simple greetings and asking each other how their days have been going since the last time they've met. The conversation went well till Cain brought up the confirmation that the recent breach was indeed because of him, he has a small prototype that can send things over from the other side after a long charge, and he said he has a spy on the other side, even though he won't say who, not that Jerah cared too much.
"I remember you saying that you can contact the other side, is it possible for you to get me in contact with the boy?" Cain asked "Based on the message, the description of his looks are to be very oddly similar, my spy even said that they recognize the person."
