That morning, the weather was clear, and the sun shone brightly.
Kai woke up with a note from Gremblin. He couldn't read it. Gremblin only said it was his study schedule.
Thanks to the woman who hadn't explained in detail, Kai received his first scolding from Mrs. Manu for being late!
Mrs. Manu was the teacher in charge of ethics. But she could also teach Kai to read and count because she needed extra money. She was in her early thirties, tall and thin.
For an hour, Kai sat in front of Manu, and he finally understood why Gremblin had called her the most hated teacher of the year.
Even Gremblin didn't want to meet her.
Kai crouched under an oak tree, a book in front of him and a pencil in his hand. He trembled every time Mrs. Manu asked a question.
"Do it again. Count from one to thirty," the woman said calmly.
Kai had only memorized up to twenty, and it had been just five minutes since Mrs. Manu told him to memorize up to thirty.
