After waking up from sleeping Zei started to crawl out of his bed, even thought There where some wood keeping him from falling When he's sleeping it was not that high at all if he stood up it would be to his kness, the bed itself was on the floor aswell making it easy to escape.
After getting over the bed he started crawling on the floor to the living room where there was a small bookshelf and started reading again, there was nothing to do so he just read again. But as he looked up.
"Zei What are you doing playing with the books what have i told you about playing with them" mari looked at him with a helpless look on her face and just left, she knows he did not listen to her and she could not really so anything about.
She tried once before taking the book from him but he just started crying for a hole hour. untill she gave him the book then his face changed as if he never cryed to begin with. So she just gave up and left him be.
This book itself was about the gox territory, it consisted of 5 major clans the gox clan, the dei clan, the ox clan, the z clan, and the liv clan. They where the major ruling clans in the territory, it does not say how big it is but it's pretty big. The gox clan is the clan in the middle of all other four clans.
The dei clan was in the left side, ox clan on the right side, z clan on the south side, and liv clan on the north. the gox clan was in the middle like a cicle, and all the other clans was on it's side like a shield or something making the territory they occupy round.
Maybe it's how it got the name as the gox territory. Zei thought and after countinuing doing nothing for most of the time. Time passed.
…
Zei was now 1 year old
He was able to walk when he was 6 months on both his legs and this made the parents happy and made him also almost never see his dad home.
He was wondering where he was and that he also should go there right now to check it out he was getting bored at home, but then scratched that idea to the back of his mind because even of he could sneak out the house it was no guarante he would survive in the woods alone as he is right now.
he could say words now that are easy to say such as mom, dad table and other basic words. He could talk like a adult but he did not want too much attention or maybe even death.
But because he was raised in a diffrent way he did not really study about how long exactly babbes need in order to speak the most basic words, and understand them so his parents thought he was a geniues when he was in her arms while she was talking to his dad. Zei's belly rumbled so he said he said, "food", "food". In a demanding way.
Mari stood there some seconds in a little bit of shock, then she started to question him "can you understand me zei" she said and looked at him in a hopeful glance his dad also intressted looked at him.
This was when zei relaised that he should have just kept quiet and that he misscalculated how long babbes need in order to understand and speak the basic things,
In the organisation he was raised in, it was common for babbes of 1 year to be able to say the most basic thing with teknologi that helped, they went through hard mental sessions but not enough to break them just enough to speed up their understanding even further.
So now he just played dumb and continued to say nothing.
Mari relised she may have overthought things and just gave him milk, then she said "mark when till the tournument start again"?
"It's in 4 years" mark said in a deep voice, while stroking his medium beard and looked at zei.
"Hopefully he will pass the tests and join the citys most powerful school ill start to train him in about 1 year, he better be ready or ill make him ready" mark said in a heavy tone.
"Don't be too hard on him darling he is our son afterall" Mari said while feeling bad about it. Mark was about to head out when he turned his head and with his brown eyes looked at mari and said "he could already crawl when he was 3 months and walk at 6 months he has talent i beleve in it". Before leaving.
Zei who could understand all this was feeling nothing really, he was even suprised that his father would wait a hole nother year just to train him, and not start basic stuff now. But he already had that covered so it does not matter. He did all exersises he could and he was pretty ripped for a 1 year old.
Even his mother complimented him when she was changing him. but after his father left, Mari let out a sight, "you know he has been working extra hard just to be able to get you inrolled into the schools tests, it cost alot, and if you manage to pass the school maybe the academy will also take you in, if you're talented enough but that's far fetched" she said outloud to remove the stress from the situation.
She then kissed don and said "even if you fail we will always love you" before going off to do the Dishes.
Zei however was starting to get existed over this test he will be taking but he knew it was going to be challenging, maybe if they knew he is already training they whould not not be as worried, only time will tell.
