Carter and Fez stormed off angrily from the commoner. They were afraid they wouldn’t be able to control themselves and attack the commoners.

“That idiot Lucas is a disgrace to us nobles for being friendly to those untouchables and giving them so much for their salary.” Fez said. In his mind, the commoners were meant to be exploited, and being able to work for nobles was the biggest reward they could get.

“Why would you care so much about what the untouchables say? You’re just lowering your status by doing so.” Carter said. Although he said that, he was also pissed that the commoners thought that Lucas was better than him.

“True, only nobles approved by other nobles are real nobles. Nobles that are approved by those commoners are lowly and fake nobles.” Fez said. He was basically saying that without his approval, Lucas wasn’t a real noble.

Many nobles had the same beliefs as Carter and Fez. They believed commoners were basically cattle and sheep and that their role was to feed and take care of the nobles.

In this era, if a noble was approved by another noble and praised as a good noble that understood etiquette, then they would become famous pretty quickly and would easily integrate into the noble circle.

“Nothing is possible, nothing can be. Today a leader, tomorrow a reader."

Carter’s group was walking when they heard a voice. 'What the hell were those last two phrases?' Carter thought.

Carter and Fez looked at each other, but before they could say anything, they heard an angry voice.

“You stupid kid, I’ve taught you for five days already. How could you still mess up? Go out and stand there as punishment.”

“Okay, teacher.” Shortly after, a boy with a runny nose walked out of the room and stood in front of the door obediently. He mumbled, “Why does City Lord give us phrases that are so hard to memorize? Today a leader, tomorrow a reader, it is so much easier to memorize.”

Fez and Carter were confused. 'Lucas could write poems? Wasn’t that a skill exclusive to scholars?'

“Little boy, did the city lord really write the poem that you were just reciting?” Carter asked, squeezing out a smile.

“Who are you? The City Lord taught us to not talk to strangers or we would be abducted.” The boy took two steps back and looked at them warily. His eyes were literally saying “human trafficker”.

The corner of Carter’s mouth twitched. 'Lucas taught what again?' He quickly took out a piece of bread from his pocket and said, “As long as you tell me, this bread will be yours.”

To Carter’s surprise, rather than taking the bread, the boy took a step back and suddenly started to cry. “Waaaaaa… father! The human traffickers that the City Lord had taught about had appeared. Help me… waaaaa…”

“What? Traffickers? Us?” Carter and Fez were both confused.

“Human traffickers? Where?” An anxious voice came out of the house(school).

Carter and Fez quickly ran away with their group. If it wasn’t because they didn’t want to reveal their identity, they would have already beaten up the little boy.

The little boy looked at the people that ran away and wiped his eyes and nose. He said proudly, “Hmph. The City Lord was correct. Human traffickers pretend to be good people and give bread mixed with sleeping medicine to eat , and then knock children out. They abduct them and sell them to bad people.”

“I knew they weren’t good people as soon as I saw them. Will the City Lord come today to give us a lesson? I want to hear the story of the Three Kingdoms. Is the face of Knight Guan Yu really red?”

“Ricky, what are you doing? Where is the human trafficker?” Steve asked.

“Uh… he he he… Lord Father, I scared away the human traffickers.” Ricky said, scratching his head as if he wanted Steve to compliment him.

“Is that so?” Steve asked, his eyes narrowing. He shook the ruler in his hand and asked, “What did that human trafficker look like?”

“Large red face with a long beard,” Ricky said. “Wait, no, that was wrong, that was Knight Guan Yu’s descriptions, not the human traffickers’ descriptions.” Ricky hurriedly shook his hands, but alas he failed to notice that Steve’s face had darkened.

“Oh? Is that so? Then how about you take a few hits from my Red Holy Ruler

.” Steve picked up Ricky. He pulled down Ricky’s pants, and under Ricky’s frightened eyes. He raised the ruler in his hand and the ruler landed on Ricky's butt.

“Human traffickers your head. How many times have you done this? Every time I make you stand outside as a punishment, you would cause me trouble. Last time when I made you stand outside, you ran away to play with someone and you said that you had been abducted by human traffickers. And now it’s human traffickers again?”

“Do you still dare to do it again? The City Lord is kind enough to open an academy- uh, an elementary school for you guys to study in, and you won’t even come here to study on your own?”

“Wuuuuu… I won’t do it anymore… I'll go and study obediently…I am sorry…..”

Steve was so angry that he almost exploded with anger. He was angry at the fact that his son only wanted to play and never wanted to study. He was the first teacher at the elementary school run by Lucas, so he was very strict with his sons.

In the city, children under 15 years old all came here to read. Lucas had said that since no one needed to worry about food anymore, the children should go to school to study; the school would take care of the children’s lunch.

The school was filled everyday and Steve became the first teacher in the school. Lucas was the principal of the school and would occasionally come to the school and stay for an hour or two to brainwash the kids cough ahem to tell stories.
