After a round of applauses from the crowd, Kamra gave a hint with her eyes to Ecna to start speaking. She thought a bit of what to speak about, then made a step forward and said:

"My name is Ecna, a special agent sent by Queen Emily, and these guys beside me are the same. We came not long ago, so we are very interested in how Cavetown actually is. I hope you will show us why monsters should also have the rights humans have." she shouted out loud, so that everyone could hear her. After a moment of silence, another wave of applauses engulfed her. After Uvril gave them a sign, they went back to their places.

"Now then, dear children, let's show our how much we know and what do we learn about! Let's give them a good impression, as who knows, maybe even the queen will hear about today's lesson." she said, making the children agitated with her words. Who wouldn't like for their superhero or favorite celebrity to know about them?

After the agitation ended, the real lessons started. It was a combined lesson, where questions from different topics were asked by the respective teachers. The first question was a simple one from mathematics. They were learning how to resolve grade two equations. Those children that came not that long ago didn't know how to resolve them, so mainly the children of older races responded.

The next question on history, and it sounded like this, "What are the history periods known to humanity and how are they different between themselves?" The history teacher was an incubus, the same class as the s.u.c.c.u.b.u.s just for male vampires, and he studied at the royal university in the capital before and after being brought back to life by Emily. He wanted to major in history, so that's why Emily chose him for the teacher role.

The first to rise their hand in the air to answer was a naga girl. She had a slightly purple colored scales, with a light purple hair and eyes. Like all the naga girls, she looked beautiful. "May I answer the question, Mr. Alanus?!" she said with a cute loli voice. The professor just approved, so she stood up from her seat, showing her other half of a naga, the serpent one. Contrary to what you could expect from a monster feared by many, she looked pretty, as even her serpent half had a glint of its own, attracting others' looks.

"The history periods in order are as such: Creation Era, Primordial Era, Ancient Era, Dark Era, Magic Era. We are currently in the Magic Era. But... I don't know every era's difference between themselves..." she said with a sad look, giving the impression she's gonna start crying at any moment. That look could make anybody want to hug her, saying it's alright and everything is fine. She was that adorable...

"Good work, Inja. As you guys started to study later than others, it is obvious that you are behind them in knowledge for now. Looking at your success and the speed u learn at, you have all the chances to surpass them in two more months, so don't get sad because of that!" said the teacher, trying to calm her. "Now then, who knows the difference between every era?"

"I know, Mr. Alanus!" said a kobold boy. His scales had a dark l.u.s.tre, his small dragon-like horns protruding out of his head. He was Brir, a shadow variant kobold which usually specializes in either dark magic or assassination arts. Brir, as he had the support from Emily and her people, was going to learn both, and become a specialist kobold assassin that the world didn't see yet.

"Ok, Brir. Show us what you've learned thus far." said the teacher as Brir stood up from his chair.

"All eras are defined by their names. During the Creation Era, the world was created by the gods, led by Inos, the God of Creation. This Era ends once all the creatures planned have been created, starting the Primordial Era. The Primordial Era, as it's name suggests, was the time when the creatures made by the gods reigned. As the gods weren't that interested in the lives of their creations, they didn't interfere much. The creatures learned how to speak, fight, eat, kill, love and even create. It was the time when the primordials chose their affiliations, by making small groups. The group members then made new descendants, continuing to populate the world."

"As years went bye, the world's population was continuously rising, which then transformed in overpopulation and war. This pretty much defines the Ancient Era, an era full of wars between the ancient beings. Some primordials either died, went into slumber, or just isolated from the world's matters. Those wars were cruel, as 'the strong devours the weak' rule was the main way of thinking of the combatants. Of course, the primordials' descendents weren't as strong as them, and from generation to generation their powers weakened. In the end, the power balance became similar for all those groups pertaining in the fights, while the overpopulation problem have been already solved, and a small period of peace came."

"Sadly, the primordials that have isolated themselves or have been in slumber came to know about what happened, and tried to eliminate the descendents of the primordials that killed their groups' allied ones. Those define the start of the dark era. All the creatures were at a continuous war, as even the sky got covered by smoke and blood, creating a dark blood veil that didn't let the moon and sun shine on the world. After tens of thousands of years filled with fights between the primordials and the descendents, remained only one primordial, named Woaldir. Crazed by the death of his brothers, he remaining alone, he d.e.s.i.r.ed to destroy the world. He started to rage, waging death everywhere he went, destroying race after race, descendents of his so loved brothers and sisters."

"Hearing the pleas of the whole world, the gods have decided to take action that time and actually help the descendents to kill the primordial. They didn't kill it themselves, but gave the world something unbelievable, 'Mana'! After uniting and learning the ways to use this new energy, the whole remaining races confronted Woaldir, killing him thanks to their unbelievable sacrifices. It is rumored that once with his death, the blood veil dissipated, while sun and moonlight shone once again for the survivors below. There starts the Magic Era, the one we're currently in. Thanks to magic, life got easier, while the world was under populated after two colossal and unbelievable wars. At the start everyone started to make countries and nations en masse, and with this, new wars were fought. Just that those wars were nothing at all compared to the Dark Era's."
