Chapter 2 Campus Daily Life 03
The Happy Encounter was sunk
"Hello everyone, I'm a happy encounter from Earth, originally a student by profession, and now a druid, and I hope to live happily with you in the next few years. 」
After a brief self-introduction, he returned to work, while the classmates next to him whispered.
"That's a human from another world, and I don't think my physical fitness is as good as that of the native humans of Golantia. ”
"Human beings are not all like that, fragile and something. ”
"But he's smart, when Xiaode doesn't have to care too much about his physical ability, he can transform anyway. ”
"Hehe, he doesn't need a druid's transformation ability......"
This is the disadvantage of hearing too well, whether you want to listen to other people's comments or not, it will run into your ears. When I was secretly distressed about the small troubles brought about by high perception, one after another shocking self-introductions began. So I met happily and planned to take this opportunity to meet new classmates.
..............................
"Hah...... At least half of my classmates are races I've never heard of, and I still need to make up for my knowledge of this world. And I feel that most of my classmates are very difficult to speak, and the self-introduction is more outrageous than the other, but my simple one is the most polite and normal......
Lying on the bed in the dormitory, the happy meeting began to be broken again. The concept of an otherworldly race, which I haven't been able to get used to in the academy for two months, has begun to be affected by the culture of another world after the start of school.
"I also know that there is something wrong with my thinking, they are all intelligent races, and coming to the academy means that they will abide by the rules of the academy. But I can't stand seeing the group of monsters who originally belonged to the legends of the earth wandering in front of me, and I don't have a sense of security at all, and I always want to strike first...... But think about it, I can't beat any of them, including that goblin Yuda, the little goblin is actually a sword master, this academy is really not simple. 」
"Earthlings, I always feel that your current state is very unstable, do you want me to enlighten you?"
It was his ranger roommate, the half-elf Leach, who stopped the happy reunion. A half-elf is a mixed-race race in which one parent is an elf and the other is a different race (usually human). This race combines all the shortcomings of humans and elves, and is largely unpopular with both parent races.
"Please enlighten me, I've been a little stressed lately. 」
Happy to meet is still self-aware, knowing that his intelligence level is not high, no matter how much he thinks, it is difficult to have a result, so he immediately did not hesitate to ask for help.
"Actually, most people in this world think about the same as you, and they like to make direct conclusions about these races, judging that the whole race is harmful or evil, so most people have always been very unfriendly to these races. Actually......"
"The evaluation of the actual race as a whole does not necessarily apply to the individual, just as Germans are not all Nazis. Intellectually, I don't think they're necessarily harmful. But ......"
"The humans of this world are mostly harmed by some barbarian races and monsters, so there is a prejudice against them, which is a historical reason, but you as an alien will not be affected by this. So you just can't get over this hurdle, which is also the common nature of human beings...... Or rather, the sensitivity of the weak. ”
Speaking of which, the half-elf Leach began to pick up the warm stone used for heating and stared at it.
"Humans are inherently too vulnerable, and therefore suspicious of those races that are stronger than humans and feel superior to those who are weaker than humans...... It's strange that most other races don't do that. Most races are in awe of the strong and slave to the weak. Ah, I didn't say the rest of the words. ”
"Yes, humans are special. 」
"So you're overly sensitive to them because you're too weak and you're upset. You've said it before, and you're feeling insecure right now, right? As long as you become a strong person, you will no longer have fear of other races, and you will naturally be able to jump out of the stereotypes and observe other races seriously. In fact, this is also the lofty ambition of the traveling scholar organization, to explore the way of multi-racial and multi-civilization coexistence. ”
Looking at the sparks in the half-elves' eyes when they mentioned the way of coexistence, Xi Xiangyu remembered the rumor.
"Half-elves are the product of a curse, and they have inherited the shortcomings of their parents. ”
Half-elves are very hard in both human and elven societies, and it is no wonder that Leach is so longing when he mentions coexistence, presumably he dreams of one day being able to live happily ever after with his relatives of different races.
"Actually...... I wasn't just upset because I was afraid of the races that looked like monsters. Whether it's a monster or not, as long as it's killed, it will die, which is no different from a human. 」
That's right, from the very beginning, it was not the strength of those alien classmates who were afraid of the meeting.
He still remembers when he was a child when he went to play with relatives in the countryside and ran to the cemetery at night to catch crickets and mention ghosts.
"Ghosts? Even if it does appear, don't run, just punch it and laugh at the other party's bruised face and admit that you are pretending to be a ghost. 」
I still remember what he said when he was in the dormitory and his roommate in the dormitory watching Xiansan on his mobile phone.
"Youkai? Even if he did, take Gatling with a shuttle bullet to see if he would die. Oh, our national firearms control is coming, then use compound bows, use earth bombs. 」
Convinced of materialism from the age of five, he never compromised with anything unknown, and for him those mysterious phenomena were nothing more than unknown natural phenomena. He has always hated those fortune tellers and masters, and he has always hated those monks and Taoists.
"They are parasites of human society, maggots that hinder the progress of human civilization. 」
"I don't deny that there are a lot of unknowns in the world, they seem to be supernatural, mysterious, but in fact they are just unknown natural phenomena. Humans can't recognize things they can't, just as humans didn't know about bacteria many years ago. Those unknown natural phenomena that are beyond the upper and lower thresholds of human perception will inevitably be stripped of their mysterious cloak one after another with the progress of science and exposed to the eyes of human beings!"
But now......
"Ghosts exist, dragons exist, magic exists, and gods exist. Ahhhh
If that wasn't enough to break the Joy Encounter, then what Heras said to him shattered his faith for nearly a decade.
"Oh, I didn't expect the beasts of the other world to be so powerful, you are stronger than the beasts of Golantia, I don't know where to go. What? You say there are only humans on Earth? Hahaha, you're funny, aren't you a pure-blooded human?"
Happy Encounter, Sunk!
