《The Lost Characters [Vanilla Dark Fantasy]》025

A month flew by and like every day, Adam was about to enter the classroom, but it seems that someone had decorated the classroom this time; as the entrance to the classroom was covered with white paper stars and various paper streamers.

With some hesitation, Adam opened the door to find the entire room covered in white streamers. Achilles had a paper cone on his head like a hat, and the other two students had it on as well.

—Here, Adam, put this on,—Achilles said, passing him a paper cone.

Adam, somewhat dazedly, put the cone on his head and sat in the chair at the desk.

—Today we celebrate its first 10 pages!—Achilles shouted, taking a black book from the table, the book opened and the light in the room disappeared. Immediately afterwards, the book began to turn its pages and project stars on the walls of the wooden classroom.

Adam was thrilled with the scene, but what surprised him most was that the stars began to dance around the room until they formed a sentence on the ceiling that said: 'Happy 10 pages!', in three languages. Adam concentrated and was able to read the words written in the language of the middle floor.

—He congratulated them all!— Achilles said in a very euphoric way— Franco, do you know how many pages the top book has in total?

—Yes, there are 120—Franco answered proudly.

Adam thought about the answer in case they asked him, if he remembered correctly, his book was 140 pages long, but they all counted the same; so he figured that one day he would have to read more pages than the rest.

—Very well—said Achilles—Every 10 pages, one celebrates a milestone on their way to mastering the reading of the language. To celebrate, everyone has to read all 10 pages out loud during this class, and we'll see what happens. Once they finish, close their book and there will be no book until they all finish reciting.

As Achilles said, all the students were reciting their day's pages and closed the book after doing it. They didn't notice anything strange, but they followed the instructions.

—Luckily it was only 30 pages— Achilles said, somewhat tired from hearing the same story 3 times— Now there will be his books. Notice something weird?

Adam opened it and was surprised, all Achilles' annotations disappeared and also all the words in the book changed. The teacher, noticing the surprised face of all his students, explained:

—The book changes all the words automatically if you manage to recite 10 pages in a row; that is to say that now they have to read it from scratch again until they reach 20 pages, but this time it is not the same. Now the words are different and more complicated. The last reading: the complete reading of 120/140 pages is the test to get your black robe. If you read it, you already master the language.

—But I don't understand anything—Bianca complained—why did he change so much?

Adam also noticed the problem. It is not that only new words appeared; but phrases without apparent meaning had also appeared, such as: 'The mouse ate the building'. The sentence had nothing to do with the previous paragraph and nothing to do with the entire page; which describes the story of a young hero.

—Yes, now it doesn't make sense—Achilles said with a smile, but also annoyed; this was the hardest part to teach— But later they will learn that the same sentence can have different meanings, unfortunately. At the moment we will see little by little that in the next week.

While he was saying that, Achilles took out a wooden box and took out 3 way badges with the number 10 inscribed on them and passed them to each student saying:

—For the rest, as is the tradition of this Hexagon; you can visit the bookstores of the first 10 pages found in the paintings.

—They are bookstores, not shelves— Achilles clarified in more detail; for fear that Adam will not go.
