The Arcadia System

Chapter 37 - Eras



Just as he was ordered, Reve slept comfortably throughout the next day.

He had been working constantly for quite a while. Someone like him that didn't like working was affected immensely by this routine. Sleeping felt like the perfect remedy for the situation.

Reve's sleep wasn't disturbed by any dreams. He was simply floating in the vast expanse of clouds.

After what felt like a few hours but was actually a day, Reve woke up to challenge the new day. He understood that Circe would change his routine, increasing the intensity of each class.

He left his room and headed to the kitchen, which was probably where Circe was. The old witch loved to cook.

Heck, she would even cook him if he asked.

Just as he expected, she was in the kitchen, concocting god-knows-what with that legendary pot of hers.

"Another blissful day, Circe," greeted Reve in the custom of Arcadia.

He wasn't speaking as fluently as a native would, but it was a work in progress.

By the way, Reve had grown accustomed to telepathically communicating with Circe. That old hag could read the minds of literally anyone. All he had to think was think and she would understand him.

It was a barbaric but effective method of communication, which Reve wasn't offended at. He had nothing to hide from the old witch anyway.

Dressed in a beautiful blue dress, Circe responded, "Good morning, Reve."

"Also, don't you call me an old hag or witch. For goodness' sake, I'm not even old," She grabbed a cooking utensil and plunged it at Reve.

However, Reve dodged with full speed, he mocked his teacher, "Yeah. Yeah. How old again? Certainly above three thousand, haha"

With what he said, he couldn't be saved from what was to come.

Multiple utensils flew at him. They caged him at a corner and proceeded to batter his body.

The rest was history.

....

After breakfast, Reve and Circe moved to the study room.

The cat released yelps with every step he made. His skin was purple from the beating that he received from Circe.

She smiled at him after taking a seat across the large table, "Today, we will start with something different. We shall begin with History. Nice, isn't it?"

Reve's sharp eyes beamed. He loved history. It was probably his best class.

What could he say? Circe had a way of immersing him in the different time periods and topics.

The class was always taught orally. Although, she had history books if he needed to read them. His Arcadish wasn't that good so he preferred an oral class.

"Let's begin. We will review what we have covered so far," Circe spoke as she made herself comfortable on the chair.

Meanwhile, Reve found himself a spot on the table.

"We went over the different eras. Arcadia's history can be dated back to approximately 10,705 years ago when we became aware of our existence. It was the first time we kept records of things."

"Each era has a calendar named after the pioneer of that era. During the time of the era, it would be referred to as N.E, that is, New Era."

"The first era is an abstract era. It is an unknown era said to be the period when the gods were born, the Dark Era, the Era of Gods. There is no calendar for that era as we were not yet 'aware' at that time."

"The second era is the Ascension Era. It is the only era without a name behind the calendar. This is because there were a lot of crazy things that occurred during it. Haha, you could be farming in your village and suddenly die. It was wild. No one dared claim to be its pioneer."

Reve smiled as he listened to Circe. If he remembered white correctly, Circe was from the Ascension Era that lasted seven thousand years.

He wondered what role she played in the most chaotic era in Arcadia. Judging by the title of Immortal Witch, it wasn't anything normal.

Also, it could be noted that the Ascension Era was when the world administrator rose.

All in all, it was just like Circe said. It was a wild era.

"The third era, the Era of Heroes and Demon Lords. A hypocritical era at its best. Heh, it spanned for 1500 years. Its calendar is named after Eternos. Most people don't know why but we at the top are well aware of his identity," revised Circe.

Despite not being active in that era, Circe always held contempt for it. She felt it wasn't a good successor to the Ascension Era.

"The fourth era is the Imagination Era. It was the era of peace and progress. Arcadia was just recovering from the terrific wars that scarred the land. It was said magic became easier to use and the world united for the very first time. Many organizations were founded. "

"The next era is the current era. Not much is to be said as it is still new. To date, there are 205 recorded years in this era. Year 189 N.E, you found yourself in this world."

Circe informed Reve that he had been in this world for sixteen(16) years. She had cast a spell on him to calculate that.

After the quick revision, Circe clapped her hand and continued, "For a while, we will be discussing the major events in each era, starting from the Ascension Era. This will begin tomorrow. It is time for your next class..."

Reve sighed as he was subject to some boring classes.

When the sun was covered by the mesmerizing clouds, the pair of teacher and student went to the courtyard for Magic Training.

Circe summoned her chair and sat on it while Reve laid on the ground.

"We have gone past deep meditation which you will be required to do every day. Now, it is time for Magic Circuitry. First, what do you understand about it?" posed Circe.

Reve was used to Circe's way of teaching. She allowed a certain independence by challenging the student's knowledge of the said topic.

With that said, he had no idea of what the topic was. R.I.P
