  "Vur"

  "Okay. Time for the second trial."

  *Ding*

  Education

  Before going to the other world. You should learn the most basic and common sense on it. The other world does not have mana and throughout their history, has develop tools they call technology to cope up. We have instructors in here who are one of the greatest personage of the other world.

  Two blue windows appeared in front of me. It seems the next trial would be easy.

  Then four men appeared in the darkness. Three old men and a middle age man in fact. One of the older man has this creepy grin on his face and keeps gazing at me.

  The other old man is wearing a skin tight brown clothes with shiny objects on his left chest. Standing upright, I can see that this old man is trained in the ways of the army. I know for a fact cause I am a soldier. But one thing I notice is he had a strange rectangular mustache.

  The last old man is wearing an all white robe with golden trims. A tall white hat which has a cross engrave on it. When I glance at him I felt peace and gentleness.

  And the last one is a middle age man who is half naked. Just standing there with the other three with its sharp eyes gazing at me.

  I blinked and when I opened my eyes the five of us are now in a room. There is only one chair and one table.

  The old man with a creepy grin stepped forward, "Guys. Let me start first."

  "Nein, Nein, Nein. Who are you to start first before the Almighty Fuhrer?" The old man with a strange mustache said.

  "I am Isaac Newtwo. What you've learned in Science and Math came from this head of mine. So let me go first," he then stared at me. "And investigate this mana thing." I shivered not because of what he said, but because of his face displaying into someone who looked like a maniac. I have seen someone with this looks in the one month I became a soldier.

  "Ho Ho Ho! You may go Isaac. And please Fuhrer Adolf Hitle, we have the time given to each of us. We have waited for this moment so there is no harm in going first or not. "The gentle old man said and gently switch his gaze at me. "I am Lord Pope. Who dares causes strife and violence in front of me will be punsihed as bestowed upon me by the Deities above." He put his hands together in a prayer.

  "You're right Lord Pope. I'll just be here and observed this soon-to-be student of ours. Whether he has the qualifications or not..." then he whispered something but I can't hear him "... Himmler". Then he stared at me with a very sharp gaze. This gaze is different from the middle age man. This Fuhrer or something old man's gaze seems to penetrate the outwards appearance and is gazing at the core of my inner well being like he can see through me. I've got a familiar vibe around him of sort, I wonder where I felt it.

  "How about you O Great Brook Lee." Isaac questioned?

  The middle age man just shake his head. So his name is Brook Le. What a strange name. I'll put that in memory. Then Le sat crossed leg in the floor and meditated.

  Isaac then went in front of me and wrote something on the green wall with a white stick. "Now listen. You do know what this trial entails right?"

  I looked at him blankly. "Isn't it you teaching me and me learning from you?"

  He eyed me with his right eye. "Seriously? You've got the idea but there's still more." Then he tilted his head upwards. "Hey! Tell him. I am not a babysitter. I'm an instructor. That is your job. If you want me to then increase my awards... in fact let me reincarnate. Hehehe."

  After he said that a window appeared.

  Then Isaac started teaching me. "Listen brat. I am the Great Isaac Newtwo. This is a great privilege for you, for I am the Father Modern Science. So be attentive and listen well."

  Science and Math. That was what he taught me. Everything he had learned and discovered he imparted it to me. Everything was alright when tests and exams came up on the first day. A stick was on his hand and I wonder where he took it, because that was the stick from the beginning. Every time I got wrong in any item or question, a blow to the head came.

  But I love his teachings, especially about physics. The energies, mechanics, forces all of it. On Edge everything came from mana but it seems on this other world it has different functions. I also learned about mathematics. Every bit of it. Now I can see objects with its measurements around it. I don't know how but it just happens. What sorcery is this Isaac teaching me? I told him about it and he seems to be so excited that he tried to gouge out my eye for experimentation.

  Did I ever tell you that he has the habit to circle around me and suddenly took out a 'syringe' that doctors use, then pierced it on my neck to get a blood sample. Now every time he circles around me I am always on guard. There is a time I found out his intentions and retaliated, he just clicked his tongue and continued teaching.

  I also notice him eyeing the egg-necklace I had. But I just put it on the back of my head. Why? Try to study and learn Science and Math in seven days. You'll then understand me. I didn't even slept ones and time in here is hard to determine. I think I don't get exhausted in here. Then seven days passed.

  Okay so that explains my eye.

  "Its my turn now. Move away Isaac." Fuhrer Hitle moved forward.

  "Tsk! I still haven't learned anything about mana." Then he bumped shoulders with Fuhrer Hilte. "My friend, please give me some." with his usual creepy grin he hand over a box of syringe's. I shivered at that sight. He also passed the stick to Fuhrer Hitle.

  "Now my student... " Fuhrer Hitle was interrupted by a sudden flashed of light. I looked down and the light came from the egg. The egg floated out of my neck, expanded and cracked spread out. In a final burst of light the egg hatched. And my partner, Vur, came out. But this time its different, I felt a connection towards it. He can sense me, I can sense him.

  "Master!" Vur floated down the ground then tackled me in the stomach by jumping. I groaned and the chair with me also fall backwards.

  "Master! Finally I can talk to you!" Vur said.

  "You can talk? But how?" I asked and he replied. "I don't know. This just kinda popped out of my mind and then I know how."

  "Okay." The others just looked at me confused.

  "What are you talking about John? That thing talked to you?" Isaac questioned.

  "Yes. Can't you hear it." Isaac's eyes opened wide then murmured. "A species I have not seen and this guys stature looks like a dinosaur but I know its different and it can talked to John...." I can't hear what he is saying afterwards but I know whats happening next. Why? Because my first instructor just moved forward with his maniacal grin and on his hands I can see the tool used by the doctor, a scalpel.

  I stood up and carried Vur away from the maniac.

  "What are you doing?" My voice was shaky because I know from the one week we have been together Isaac gets what he wants. I even told myself he is a manifestation of greed.

  "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Then Fuhrer Hitle stepped between the two of us and raised the stick. He strike it down and both old men fight it out. Both scalped and stick rammed into each other.

  "What are you doing?!" Fuhrer Hitle said in gritted teeth. He is really angry.

  "I only want to study it."

  "Nein!Nein!Nein! I know what you want. You want to dissect it."

  "How can I study its whole without dissecting it."

  They were about to fight it out again when suddenly a loud BOOM echoed out.

  "I am Lord Pope. Who cause strife and violence in front of me will be punished as bestowed upon me by the Deities above." I watched as Lord Pope stepped forward. The other two old men seem to have horrified faces and covered their mouth and nose while running away from the Lord Pope.

  I then smelt a pungent scent that took away my breath. I hastily covered my mouth and nose, hugged Vur tightly and move away. Far from that area.

  "Master! I can't.. I can't breathe."

  "Hang on! We will make it. Just hang on."

  I joined Isaac and Fuhrer Hitle in the back of the room, with our hands still covering our moth and nose.

  "What is that?" I asked.

  "Its what the Deities bestowed upon him..." One of the two old men answered.

  I then notice Le is still there sitting crossed leg on the floor. His face cringed then he said, "Smell... of Death."

  "But... isn't that a fart?" Lord Pope is still there with his hands together in a prayer.

  "Shushed there John. This is a gift bestowed by up above. Now I tell you. Do you have a gift?" That made me speechless.

  "Now are both of you done yet?" Both Fuhrer Hitle and Isaac was silent until they begrudgingly nodded. We stayed there for an hout before the gas went away, swept by the wind, I suppose, or Le inhaled all of them.

  Then Fuhrer Hitle started his lecture. "I am Adolf Hitle. The Greatest Dictator throughout History. Now I will tell you how people works in the world."

  He told me both sides of the coin in a person. He said that good and bad does not define a person. The actions perceived by the others will define you. Whether good or bad doesn't matter you do what you decided to do. Make your own resolve and others will follow I learned so much about his lecture.

  Occasionally we are interrupted because of Vur. It seems he gets hungry in these domain while I don't get tired and hungry. So I request from the orb. I also notice the peculiar gaze Fuhrer Hitle had on Vur.

  "You want to pat him?" I asked him one time. His mouth just twitched and turned away shaking.

  Isaac came behind me and whispered, "He is an animal lover."

  That shocked me and then remembered this maniac is near Vur. So I pulled Vur away from him. After moving away, that's when I comprehended what he just said. So that's why.
