Rebirth of the Ruined Noble

Chapter 32 Combat Training (2)

'The Golden Age' – The period of the first Emperor's rule was called as such in history. It is said that no citizen of the Mauryan went to sleep with an empty stomach during his rule. The Mauryan empire was flourishing in his rule and he occupied nearly three fourth of the whole 'Eastern' continent during his rule.

But before knowing about the rule of the first emperor, it was necessary to know how he founded the Mauryan empire.

Around 125 years before the calendar of Chronos came to existence, the Eastern continent was ruled by as much as fifteen small and medium kingdoms. And the grand mage Lith Verhen was a minister at one of the medium sized kingdom called the Nanda Kingdom.

It is said that the grand mage Lith Verhen met the first emperor of Mauryan who was still a 10 year old boy at a remote village.

The First emperor was an orphan who neither had anyone to look after him nor did have a home to return. At the time when Grand mage found him, he was just a petty thief who had turned to thievery to relive his hunger.

The Grand mage caught sight of the first emperor stealing an apple from a fruit shop while hanging down from the roof. Getting intrigued by the small body hanging down with the support of his small legs, the grand mage chose to watch him silently.

He was incredibly astonished by the feats of young by who managed to run away from the adult shopkeeper who noticed him and the way in which dodged the people coming after him.

The grand mage followed him to silently towards his destination and there he found a group of young orphans waiting for him.

As soon as the kids saw the boy coming towards them with an apple, they all cheered together and ran towards him.

"The King has arrived!"

That's what the children were saying in chorus.

"....and that is how the first emperor and the legendary Grand mage, Lith Verhen, two of the four pillars of the Mauryan empire met each other"

Professor Welton said as he turned the page of a huge text book.

"Minor questions like these don't come up often, but you should still know about the life story of the first emperor."

Morning class was 'The History of Mauryan Empire.' The text book that contained the history of the Mauryan was huge so much so that it had 400-pages in total. Things to remember were the names of four founding figures, their major achievements, fight of the first emperor against the Nanda kingdom and countless others.

Even as someone who is studying all this for the second time, there was too much information to process. Thankfully, the artifact responded to my memory and everything I read was recorded in it.

[125 years before the calendar of Chronos, the first emperor of the Mauryan empire who was at the age of 10 and the grand mage Lith Verhen met for the first time.]

'What a cheat key!!'

It summarized the whole content and stored the information in a short and precise sentence. With this I could easily score full marks the History subject!

"Huu...Hu..."

On the other hand, the girl that was sitting in front of me scratched her head and sighed.

Looking at her, I couldn't help but laugh.

Julia Rozental hated studying. She had the ability to take the number one spot among female students, but because written exams were holding her down, she had to give up the first place seat to Princess Aurora. Even if she gnashed her teeth in mortifying defeat, written exams were still too much of a hurdle for her.

At that moment, Julia turned her head halfway towards me. Her curt eyes glared at the person sitting behind her – me.

She must have heard my laughter.

I pretended to be calm as I lowered my head and focused on taking notes. Julia clicked her tongue and faced back front.

The lesson continued.

The history about how the grand mage took the first emperor as his disciple and taught him the way of magic and sword, the hurdles that he had to cross and many more things.... and the time passed by.

The bell rang only after two hours had passed.

"Make sure to go back and read the notes you took today. Otherwise, you'll cry on the exam."

The grey-haired professor Welton, who was wearing round eyeglasses left with those words.

"Argh, so annoying, why do I have to learn all this? Written exams are so annoying."

Julia began to complain the moment the professor left. However, her face was full of smiles. It was most likely because of the next class.

Anti-monster combat training.

Just like its name suggested, it was combat training against monsters. The monsters used in the lesson were mana puppets, but their appearance and destructive power were faithful to the real thing. Of course, they were weaker than their real counterparts, but there was a high chance of getting injured.

It would a lie to say that I wasn't excited!

It would be the first time I can fight seriously after I returned to the past, even though the peace was very comfortable, I know for the fact that getting comfortable would make me pay dearly in the future.

But it wasn't like I was slacking in my training, if anything, I maybe over doing it, much thanks to Professor Joshua.

Today, he came sharp at 3:00 AM to wake me up, he even barged into my dorm room using the master key. I can't express how surprised I was to see his face the first thing in the morning.

Then, he dragged me to the forest behind the Academy, there we trained till 8:00 in the morning, only then did he let me go.

My muscles were still feeling sore thanks to it!

Anyway, despite that, I was rearing to have a go at the monster puppets.

"We're meeting at the field in 20 minutes!"

A loud voice rang out in the classroom. I turned towards the voice.

Oval face, small gentle eyes, and a muscular body that didn't match his face. It was class president, Lugrid Tremblin who screamed at the class.

Currently ranked 16th in the freshmen rankings, Lugrid Tremblin was chosen as the class president of the 'Kshatriya' class due to his friendly and outgoing nature.
