73 Acacia Academy 1 (1/2)

After Dyon rested, he ended up spending a few more days ensuring that everything with the orphans was set up properly.

He hired a few lower level teachers for them, which actually infused money into a part of the economy that had been dormant. Because of the constant wars over the past few centuries, it wasn't often that children could afford tutors. And often, if they could, they were from rich families that would have their own private teachings. This meant those who met the requirements to teach focused on secondary occupations they specialized in rather than teaching orphans. Although many of them wished to, they had their own families to feed as well.

With the promise of money and the protection Dyon left, he was finally confident enough to head into the Elvin City along with Ri.

Holding Lyla in his arms, Dyon hugged her good bye, ”I'll come back to visit you soon, okay?”

The adorable little girl nodded, wrapping her arms around Dyon's neck.

Dyon set her down and she ran off with a big smile on her face. This made Dyon feel great, so he set off with a calm heart and a wide smile.

Too lazy to go down all the stairs, Dyon directly jumped out of a window and over the fence, landing softly next to Ri, ”alright beauty, let's head off!”

BOOM!

Dyon was slammed into a tree, ”ow… there's no need to be so angry about a compliment.”

”hmph… you humans have low standards…” she said softly.

Dyon looked at her in confusion, but once they entered the city, he immediately found out what she meant. He had never seen such a collection of beautiful people. Describing Ri as subpar was almost adequate.

This didn't seem to bother Ri too much though, she instead chose to happily point out all of the great things about the Elvin Kingdom.

”Elves are actually descendants of a god race, which is where our beauty comes from. It isn't often that you'll find an unattractive elf, which is why I find you and Little Lyla to be so ridiculous. Actually, I'm more surprised about you honestly. The fact you're so handsome is probably the only reason you haven't met discrimination yet… I don't expect that to continue for too much longer though. You might have looks comparable to even the best we have to offer, but some people won't care too much about that. I hope you're prepared.”

Dyon nodded. He wasn't too bothered by this. He was used to being looked down on. He was a commoner at Focus Academy, and now he'd be known as a human. Same shit, different pile.

”Don't worry too much though, you can just do what I do and kick their asses. Very few have the guts to make fun of me anymore,” she said pridefully.

Dyon chuckled, he really enjoyed spending time with Ri, in spite of the beatings.
