《Jack at World of Syntaria》Chapter 4 : Mother and child little talk
Advertisement
Hi, I’m jack currently 10 years old,
I already learned most of the basic here in Kenatra Village, well I think more than basic.
To be accepted as adventurer 14 years old is a requirement, in this world, there’s 3 Dungeon.
One is the main trading place of the kingdom of Syntaria.
The second one is on the border near Elfinalde or "Elven Forest"
Kenatra is near the border of Elfinalde but on the other side of the dungeon.
The third is in the forest of Fijaika or forests of death.
There’s no war in the Kingdom of Syntaria since the war for equality more than 4500 years ago, since that war there's no slavery, but discrimination of race is a normal thing here, most if you don't have a good backer.
They advocate strongly have the right and so even there's peace Syntaria Kingdom, citizen encourages to train dungeon to become an adventurer, or even in the academy training magic and sword, and to continue to protect the Kingdom.
I'm not sure but my plan is going to the academy first then enter the dungeon to increase my strength, in two years I only increase my Agi and Str by 1, Petting Skill into Lvl3, I guess I the higher skill level the harder to level up, normal people can't see their status they need to go to adventurer tavern, or church to view there Level and Mana, class, status, there's no skill list for them, they just manually remember invocation to cast it and the flow of Mana in their imagination, and they should be in right class for restriction of a certain skill.
And I should be already a cheat character by my status, but every time I remember that I’m only Level 1, I have the urge to go hunt goblin, but I can’t go out to the village far more than 1km I always caught by village hunter, when I tried once, my mother almost cry 6hrs nonstop and hug me until we both fall to sleep, I don't want to make her cry again so I behave until sent to academy,

I start to join my father hunting and doing some odd job to the village, I ask my father and mother if after I turn 12 I can go travel to the academy and they said that they will agree if they think I'm ready at that time.
I'm not allowed to hunt by myself so I always join hunter village everyday once in the morning 5am-7am and 6:30pm-8pm.
My mother always prepared bread to the table, after I back 7 am my parent always waiting for me and then we ate breakfast.
Gin and Kara always want to follow me but their parent knew that it’s too much for them, I’m not sure but I think the villager already know that I'm different from other most of all my mother, she always wants me to tell what happen in my play time at noon with Kara and Gin, I know she wants me to be like other kid playing happily everyday, so I always tell her that we play Heroes and Princess vs Villain so she won't worry too much in my childhood.
I save 30copper almost every day my excess I give to my parent.
After two years I saved 150 silver, well it should be 200silver but there's a time Gin father got sick and need I use 25 silver for some herb and Doctor payment for 3 days visit in there house, and 10 for food I bought for 4 days.
My mother and I visit them at first they don't want to accept it but I said that uncle always train me swordsmanship and Auntie always bring cookies to me, and Gin is my friend, and most of all the line I always read in the novel "please don't worry and accept it, if you're not going to accept it, I considered that you're treating me as an outsider, while I'm treating you like a brother" Gin panic and don't know what to do, then Auntie Cyntia smile and pat the shoulder of gin they hug me then said thanks, then look to my mother and smile, another 15 silver is I spend to buy a small bracelet to travelling peddler every month for the 10th birthday of Kara, that time she allowed me to pet her for 20 minutes.

27th of the third month is my birthday.
Now is 26th day of 3rd month 4 more days before I leave this village, and I'm not planning to join hunting.
After waking up in the early morning, one thing on my mind
'I will try to tell my parent again after breakfast'
They already know it but no one speaking about it.
---After Breakfast
"Mom... I" I try to say it but they look at me like they eyes saying 'No' so I walk to the back of my mother then hug her.
After 15 seconds I said "Mom, I'm turning 12... I... " I'm not sure but I'm supposed to be not an emotional type of person at first I think there will be no problem but when I start to speak, my tears already flow in my eyes and I can't control it.
My mother, as if planning to against me,
But when she saw me crying, she put me on her lap then hugged me.
"I know, my little Jack… sob*! even though I'm planning to add another 2 years... sob*! ... before you leave... sob*! ... seeing you cry... m.. makes me know ... that you.. think it through carefully... do you know that this is... the first time ... I see your tears... after 11years... sob*!..." Jack mother speak while joining jack for crying...
"At first... sob*! ... I thought that ... sob*!... there’s must be something wrong with you... sob*!... now I’m sure.... you're still just child... my little Jack...sob*... " My mother continues to cry after 5minutes Jack’s mother stop crying then look straight Jack.
"little jack, I will approve your traveling to study in the academy but you need to accept all my condition... do you understand?" Anna
I simply nod then listen carefully to his mother.
"First you should be sure to take care of yourself.
Second if in the academy not welcome, you're always welcome here in our home.
Third,... sob*! ... you're not allowed to pretend.. strong ... in my front again ... sob*! ever … understand!?... sob*!" her more start to cry again...
I feel like her crying will not stop but I see my father is just standing there listening to our conversation about my traveling he ' s not against but still you can see tears in her red eyes even though he wants to look tough too...
So I have an idea.
"Sorry, mom ... sob*! ... I always see you... cry... when... father... bully you... but ... I never see... father... cry, look at him he's still pretending tough... so I thought I'm doing right even my body feels pain and ache..." after I say it my mother sharp to my father then saw my father red eyes pretending not to cry when my mother said...
"You... (angry*! ) ...you’re the reason why my little jack never cries, he thought that is wrong to cry and call for me.... y…you.. now I'm clear... it’s you who deprived my little jack to cry...." my mother shouting to my father.
"You... wait it’s not me ... jack explain to your mom he might misunderstand...." my father Nelson trying to calm my mother.
"mom, father trying to bully me... " I hugged my mother pretend to cry
"NELL...." my mother look at my father threatening him with her eyes.
"pffft*! pfffft*!" I laugh loud and my parent looks each other, then laugh too...
"I'm sorry mom.. for ..making.. you .. always worry " then I hug my mother again and smile,
My mother smiles to me and look to my father... then she said: "Nel I think we have something to talk after this"...
My father simple smile and having a not good premonition...

Mail Fox Tales
When trying to save an injured animal while drunk you don't really expect many consequences. If you were sober, you'd likely expect to be saddled with a few bills and some work finding the owner.In either case, being saddled with divine duties by an ancient animal spirit is probably not amongst the things you expect. Neither did Eva when she picked up an injured canine after an evening out drinking with a friend to celebrate their arrival in Tokyo.At least those duties are little more than a part time job as a delivery-fox. And they come with room and board, as well as making her life that much more interesting.
