Not "people".

　That's because we children don't have human rights, so we're not included in one of the 300-person villages.

　Therefore, although the official number of people in villages and towns is over 300, we are treated as "things" in a country that has not yet reached the level of "people."

　When will you be recognized as a "person"?

　It seems that it is written in a sentence of the empire's law that "When you turn 16 years old, you will turn from a 'thing' to a 'person'."

　It's such a crappy law. What do you think human rights are?

　The door slammed open with the sound of an old building, and I regained consciousness.

"Good morning everyone"

"""""good morning!"""""

"Then, today, we will continue to conduct educational classes for civil officers and officers that each student aspires to.

"""""Yes!"""""

　We wait until the first and second graders finish their instructions.

　The school is divided into three grades: 1st grade, 2nd grade, and 3rd grade.

　From this age onwards, to cultivate perseverance, it is like a military education.

　Any attempt to move or talk to someone next to them is punished with education.

　It is an educational policy that is absolutely unacceptable in the previous world. If you are a parent of monster parents, you will scream.

"..."

　It's a quiet moment. Instructions for first graders take time.

　Throughout the first year, we will determine whether you are good at classroom lectures or taijutsu. It's up to you to decide which class you want to take.

　However, most children decide which class they will take before entering school.

　In three months' time, the first-year students will be promoted to second grade, so this morning the first-year students are asking questions about their aptitude and what they don't understand about the lectures, in order to alleviate some of their anxiety.

　Normally, I feel like that's something you do after school.

　...However, the teacher leaves immediately after class, so you can only ask questions during this time.

　I think it's better to ask questions during class if you don't understand something about the lecture.

　Normally this would be the case, but it's not normal so things like this happen.

　The reason for this will become clear as time passes.

　We third-year students have given up on this, so no one asks the teacher any questions during this time.

　Accelerate your thinking while you wait. It's time to remember the heroes of the previous world.

　When I came to this world, I was deprived of the time to think about the heroes, so I cherish the time I have the most so that I can keep them in my thoughts even just a little.

　Well, what kind of story should I think about today?

──※──※──※──

"Then, give instructions to the final year."

　My attention turned to the person in front of me, called Sensei.

　Today too, the fun time was over for only about 10 minutes, and I was immediately brought back to the depressing reality.

"Those who aspire to be civil servants should take lectures. Those who aspire to be officers should do taijutsu. So that they don't cause any problems. For those who have any questions... it seems like they don't have any. Well then. That's it."

　With that said, the teacher sat down in the teacher's seat at the end of the classroom and began to fall asleep.

　yes. I'm going to fall asleep soon, so I can only listen to it at that timing.

　Once school is over, students feel as if their role is over, and even if they ask questions after school, they are simply told to ask questions tomorrow morning.

　This person called Sensei received two years of education in the city.

　Although he was not summoned to the royal capital, it seems to be a job that can be taken by those who have achieved relatively good results in the city.

　Basically, one teacher, one official, and three soldiers are dispatched to the village. Compared to mere serfs and weavers, these people have a much higher social status.

　Everyone in the village is reduced to currying favor with these people.

　Therefore, the exact population composition of the village is ``5 people with positions'' + ``300 villagers'' + ``things.''

If I say so myself, the word "thing" sounds really bad, but I guess it's more convenient for those in power.

　If the assertion of human rights were to be called out and rebellions broke out in various places, this could become a factor that would cause the country to deteriorate.

　That may be why culture has developed to the limit where it can be stretched, and local civilizations have been brought down to the point where they can be quickly controlled and subdued.

"Kai, you looked so happy and disgusting today. When the teacher started talking to us, you suddenly said, 'Musu!'"

"That's right. As always, you looked like you didn't know what I was thinking."

"It's a happy time for me. Ah, I'm disappointed that it's over. I was a bit confused at the end."

"Okay, let's go first Kai. See you later."

"Yeah, see you later"

"Then Kai, fight me!"

　Thus began the day at school.
