Chapter 30: 30 - School? I Don't See This As A Good Experience.

"Noah, can I talk to you for a while?"

"Mom? What is it?" It is rare for my mother to come to my room, I closed the Status screen and turned to her, looking at her face, I could see that she seemed a little worried about something.

Won't you say that there is any sign of that monster in the forest?

"Can I seat?" She approached my bed, I was lying down, so I sat down and offered her a space to sit, thanking me and smiling she started to say: "Listen, are you interested in going to school?"

"Hmm, to school? But haven't I learned enough from you already? I don't think I need to go." She looked at me surprised and a little flushed, she seemed happy that I said this: "Well, I don't deny that I taught you many things, but are you sure you don't want to study?"

'She still has that smile on her face, she really liked what I said.' Well, but if she asks me if I want to go to school ... My answer is no, I would find it more attractive if she asked me if I wanted to be an adventurer.

"It's not that I don't want to go, I just don't think I need to."

"I understand, but look, there will be other children from your age at school, don't you want friends?" Yeah, I'm still a child in her eyes, well, a normal child would need friends.

But if she asks me if I want to go to school and make friends, my answer is still no.

"Friends, right? But what kind of school is it?"

"It's a school in the country's capital, there they teach math, history, about monsters and also magic, don't you think it's interesting?" Wait a minute, isn't she trying to get rid of me? She wants me to accept going anyway.

"I understand, but you no already teach me all about that?"

"Of course not, I taught only part, or are you going to say that you have already learned about all countries, all monsters, and all magics?"

"I think so."

"No, no, no. Those books don't teach you half of it, I'm sure you haven't learned about everything yet, so I think it's a good idea for you to go to school."

She really seemed committed to making me change my mind, there is definitely something going on here, I need to find out: "Why do you want me to go to school so much? You can tell me." My mother looked at me in surprise, but soon after she started to disguise her expression.

"Nothing, it's nothing, I just want you to be an intelligent boy and to be much stronger than you are now."

"Urgh, you would never say something like that, say what it really is, because that gave me the creeps." All the hairs on my body were standing on end, seeing my mother acting in this totally different way from the habitual one did not give me a good feeling.

"Okay, it's because of Lisandra." She finally gave up and told me why she was asking me for it. Apparently, Lisandra was very anxious to go to school, but my mother didn't think it would be a good idea to send her alone.

I think she's lying about it.

"Wait, is this really serious? I'm younger than her, it doesn't make sense." I kept looking at my mom waiting for her to say something, but no words came out of her mouth, I was incredulous at what I was hearing here.

I tried to talk to her a little more, but the only thing she did was to continue trying to change my opinion about not wanting to go to school, I confess that this was already starting to bother me.

But as she is my mother, I couldn't just ask her to stop doing this, she was doing it for Lisandra's sake.

It makes no sense to want me to go with her to protect her in any way, I am only 11 years old. I know I'm strong, but that still doesn't make sense.

So I just agreed to think about it, but I was sure I would refuse to go to school.

#####

I accepted.

Yes, after a few days of listening to Lisandra and my mom talking about it all the time, and seeing how excited she was, I couldn't say no to that, I would feel bad about it.

Apparently, everything had been a choice of Lisandra, that she would only go to school if I were to keep her company, which is at least strange.

And I was also sure that my mom was lying about being her idea.

'Haaa, whatever, good that I will be able to see what the capital of the country is like, and I will gain new learnings.' If what my mom is saying is true, I still haven't learned half of what this world really is, and I hope it's true, I don't want to go to school to learn nothing.

What about friendships? I'm just not caring about it, I really don't want to be involved with some types of people. From what she told me the school is in the capital, which makes my meeting with nobles possible.

Especially in a school, I will certainly not be able to count on my fingers the number of spoiled children that I will find when I get to this place. So I need to accept this before I go to school.

I may be thinking too much, but I see more negative than positive things coming out of this experience.

"Noah, aren't you happy to go to school with me?" Seeing my pensive face that contorted when I thought of the spoiled children, Lisandra looked worried.

"That's not it, I'm just thinking about what will happen when I get there."

"What's going to happen? Like what?"

"Aren't you really worried? We can find nobles and annoying kids everywhere, isn't it a school? Surely there is that kind of person there."

"Aah, that's what you're talking about ... There are certainly people like that."

"So that's why ..."

"But not all of them are like that, you will understand when you get there, okay? But in any case, it will take a while for us to go to school, I hope you don't change your mind until then."

"Don't worry, I won't change my mind." Seeing the smile on her face, I can't change my mind, I would certainly feel very bad if I did something like this.

"Awnnt, thanks for that. You are a very cute brother, you know?" Lisandra approached me and started to hug me, and without pushing her away, I received her hug.

I just need to accept that I'm going to school now, right? I just have to put it in my head that I will learn new things and that will help me a lot from now on .... No, I just can't imagine anything good coming from that.

Please, may it be a good experience, I don't want to have to take a child's head off on my first day of school.
