6 A very Brutal World!

During the night, I was lying down, my EP shows that it's 9pm I'm still not sleepy. I do not know if it's because of the schedule or the reason for my uncertain future as a teacher in the Heiyu house.

I definitely did not want to accept it, but I was given no choice. Soon after dinner, I was no longer treated as a guest, but as a servant. Yet I at least believe I have a good position, if I am not mistaken, yellows have a great respect for teachers.

Maybe this is even a good opportunity, I can study about this island and the next powers, with the excuse of preparing class for the children.

I can not help but feel a little excited about the adventures ahead, even if the Heiyu are a little dominant, they should not be so bad. From what I realized during dinner is that they are just a powerful family in a backwater village.

They have a patriarch, Heiyu Kun, who is also the village chief, he is the strongest cultivator in the region. After him comes his brothers, the other bald shaolin, and then the eldest son, Heiyu Chu. The women are all from nearby villages, they were married here to maintain relations with this family. The teenagers are two brothers and one cousin. And the children, there are three girls and one boy, apparently 2 of the girls are already promises of marriage and when the age comes they leave the village.

All these family exchanges left something very clear, the Heiyu family, is not so strong, they still need to maintain good relations with the nearby village. but I do not know how big the militia is here or how many cultivators there are. For while, running away is not an option, I will keep to the original plan and see how life is here.

I turn on my straw mattress and fall asleep.

The next day,

My EP wakes me up by vibrating at 6 o'clock sharp. I get up and put some water on my mouth and face. It's just the first night but I already miss brushing my teeth.

I continue in my little room, playing with my EP until 7 am, when I hear a loud voice

"Come and have breakfast"

I stop playing games and going down, I can not help but feel happy to start working, I'm 15 years old and in my memories on earth I've never done anything besides going to school and helping some family members so this is new for me.

When I'm in front of the dining room

* punch * Smack *

Something hit me in the face and I fall on my ass. I was dizzy from the blow and then I heard a few laughs in front of me.

"Your shitty Mortal, where do you think you're going?"

* Punch *

Again I'm punched, I do not remember getting involved in a fight or violence case in my entire life, so I'm in a state of shock.

"If you are hungry, you wait the family to eat, and then you can eat the remains in the kitchen. After you receive your salary, you buy your own food."

The aggressor is Heiyu Chu, with me still on the floor he goes away with the other teenagers.

moments later, the two maids and servants pass by me, one of the women, look at me and say

"Honey, get up and go to the kitchen, we'll get there."

and then hurries to bring the plate of breads to the family.

Still dizzy, I get up. My face hurts a lot, most likely is a psychological pain because the Wolwerine powers should already be healing me.

I sit on a wooden stool in the kitchen, the place is quite simple, a wood stove with just an iron pot, probably to make tea. A large wooden table in the center of the kitchen and some 1.50m basins with water, I do not know if it is for cleaning or for cooking. In a few moments. The woman and the other servants come back, she looks 30 to 40 years old, she is not pretty, she has a thin face and dark eyes, but she has a friendly smile.

She soaks a cloth on water and passes it on my face.

"You have a good constitution, you are not hurt much, in a day or two you will be brand new."

The man approaches, he looks at my face "hmm lucky one ... the young master took it lightly. If it was any other servant, he would probably break some bones." he has typical yellow features. Short, slim and with a straight black hair, just above the shoulders in a samurai style.

"I just do not know if he's too naive or stupid, entering the dining room like he's from the family, hmph" said the other girl, who looks younger with a certain air of arrogance, even when dressed in the same yellow and simple clothes than the other servants. She is thin and short, has dark brown hair and large black eyes, easy to forget, compared to those Japanese and Korean actresses who appear on TV. But she's just behind the family wives I met last night.

"Little Li, do not treat the lad like that, he's a foreigner. But he'll learn in time, right?" the lady look at me.

"Y-yes ... I will! Hmm ... I'm Marc, nice to meet you guys!"

"Hello, Marc, I am old lady Li. That is little Li and that young man is Neal."

I greeted everyone. They've been working here for some time, they've given me some tips and told me not to do anything until some family member asks me to do something.

After thirty minutes I help them clean the table and then eat bread and drink water.

"During the morning you do not have to worry about food, the family gives you a bread and you can drink water, do not go near the butter, tea or cheese. If still have soup after the family dines, you can eat too. nono for meat or vegetables."

I point with the chin to little Li, who is eating bread with butter and tea

"It's because she is one of the beauties of the village, and, opens her legs to the young masters every night, so she has more privileges, but do not talk about it, she's kind of a bitch." whisper Neal.

I nod, showing I understood. Taking into consideration her personality and status of Mortals, it was predictable.

While we're eating, Chief Kun calls me to his study room.

It's a small room with few decorations, I do not know if it's because it's minimalist or just poor.

"Marc, I'm going to be straight to the point. You'll work for the family until the kids grow up, you're going to teach them how to write and read, I'll get you some books for you, and you can give them some literature too. You'll teach every morning after breakfast. Your salary is going to be 20 pieces of copper every week is the standard of a literate servant in this region. You are dismissed" I do not know if this salary is fair, but what I really need is more information.

"boss kun, is there any library that I can access? since I will only go to class in the morning, if I add some knowledge about the island I will be much more useful in the future"

"I'm going to give you the books I think you need to read. Now, get out of here." He seems to find it absurd that I ask for more than he offered me, he was probably caught off guard when I said I wanted something and that it might help. I am not accustomed to living in such a hierarchical society, where I say yes sir or no sir. I'd better start quieting and try to learn what's going on.

With a small plan forming in my head, I begin to understand that this world is not a mere joke as I had thought it to be, cultivators treat mortals as if they were not different from slaves, from the moment he made sure I had no strong support, I was already considered an object of the Heyiu family. This is really a brutal world.
