◎First day of school◎
"I'm ready!"
Gu Ge put on his schoolbag and raised his chin with full energy.
In front of her, the skeleton warriors formed several circles, wiping their tears as they bid farewell to the only cub of the skeleton warrior tribe.
"Be sure to be safe," the Skeleton Warrior Chief Gu Hu choked up and couldn't speak clearly. He held the cub Gu Ge's hand and earnestly instructed, "Don't fight with other cubs, but if a cub bullies you, don't swallow your anger. Although we, the Skeleton Warrior Clan, are subject to the King, we will never let you suffer any injustice."
Gu Ge blinked and nodded obediently: "Okay, don't worry, I will get along well with the other cubs."
Watching their own cubs walk into the school, the skeleton warriors held their heads and cried. Their voices were so sad that anyone who heard or saw them would feel sad and cry.
The Bat Demon Chief, who was also sending his cub to school, looked at them in surprise and whispered to the Bone Demon Chief beside him, "What happened to them?"
Although all tribes cherish the cubs, they just go to school to attend classes during the day and can be picked up at night. It is not much different from the previous kindergarten. The whole school was built by their joint efforts, and the safety of the cubs is ensured in all aspects. Why do the Skeleton Warriors make it like a life-and-death farewell?
The Bone Demon Chief twitched his lips. As a race that was once forced to change its name by the Skeleton Warriors, he had deliberately inquired about the Skeleton Warriors’ news and had some understanding of this: “The Skeleton Warriors have only had this one cub in hundreds of years. They usually protect it very well and don’t even let it come into contact with other tribes.”
...
...
"Only one cub in hundreds of years?" The Bat Demon Chief was shocked. "Although the birth rate of cubs in our demon tribe is very low, this is too low, right? The Skeleton Warrior Tribe has more than a thousand demons!"
"The racial trait of the Skeleton Warrior Clan is immortality. With such abnormal abilities, it is normal that they have few cubs," the Bone Demon Clan leader shrugged. "It is said that the stronger the race, the lower the birth rate of cubs. Look at the four major clans in the Demon Realm before. Except for the Blood Wolf Clan, there are not many demons in the other clans."
The bat demon chief nodded suddenly.
Although they have no good feelings towards the Skeleton Warriors, the Demon Dragon has already tormented the Skeleton Warriors enough in the past period of time. The Skeleton Warriors, who have finally been freed from compulsory labor, are no longer arrogant. Not only do they strictly abide by the rules of the Demon King's Palace, they will even take the initiative to give way when they see other races.
Besides, no matter how much he disliked the Skeleton Warriors, the Bat Demon Chief had no intention of targeting an innocent cub. He asked the question because he was shocked by the miserable cries of the Skeleton Warriors. After hearing enough gossip, he no longer paid attention to the matter and enthusiastically discussed the construction mission of Bone Thorn City today with the Bone Demon Chief.
The Bat Demon and the Bone Demon walked away while talking. At the school gate, the Skeleton Warriors wiped their tears and watched their cubs disappear in the teaching building, feeling extremely sad.
A skeleton warrior hugged his own bony body sadly: "Our Gu Ge is so well-behaved and has never seen other demon cubs. What if he is isolated?"
The Skeleton Warrior Chief sobbed, "If I had known that when Gu Ge said she wanted to go to kindergarten, I would have let her go. At least she could have gotten to know a few cubs! Wuwuwu, it's all my fault!"
The skeleton warriors who had just stopped crying burst into tears again. The passing demons stared at them in shock, totally confused as to where these demons made of bones came from to shed so many tears.
Several races that were also bidding farewell to their young were originally quite strong, but after being disturbed by the Skeleton Warriors, they were actually filled with grief.
"What if our cubs don't learn the magic words and get scolded by the teacher? What if they don't get along well with the cubs from other tribes? We can't just play with the cubs from our own tribe!"
Everyone looked at each other. Although they were not familiar with each other at first, they now felt a sense of closeness and began to express their concerns about the cubs.
"You guys at least have a few cubs to hang out with, but our poor little Bone is all alone!" The Skeleton Warriors cried even louder, "She's usually so shy, she must be very lonely!"
…
"I brought some meat floss biscuits, let's share them together!" Gu Ge, the shy and timid little cub in the eyes of the skeleton warriors, waved the snacks in his hand and said loudly.
Surrounded by his classmates, Gu Ge showed no fear at all. With smiling eyes, he stuffed a coin-sized meat floss cake into each demon.
When she arrived at the classroom, it was still early for class. There were four blood wolf cubs and three bone demon cubs sitting in the classroom.
For a Skeleton Warrior cub, this was simply a hellish configuration - the Blood Wolf Clan broke with the Skeleton Warrior Clan as early as when the Skeleton Warrior Clan was preparing to capture all of them and take them to the Demon King's Palace to show their loyalty. The Bone Demon Clan was even forced by the Skeleton Warrior Clan to change their racial name. No matter which clan, the relationship with the Skeleton Warriors was tense.
Although they are still young, they have been influenced by the skeleton warriors and have an instinctive aversion to them. They look at Gu Ge with unfriendly eyes.
Until Gu Ge took out a bunch of meat floss biscuits from his schoolbag like a magic trick and distributed them to his classmates with a smile.
Even though they were now full of food, the cubs still couldn't resist the temptation of snacks. After taking the biscuits, they rummaged through their schoolbags and took out the snacks prepared by their tribe to share with everyone. They discussed which snacks were more delicious, and almost instantly forgot about the hatred among their tribe.
Gu Ge happily sat down next to a bone demon cub: "Hello, my name is Gu Ge."
"My name is Mie Wu," the little bone demon shook her hand, also very enthusiastically, "Why do you like grilled mushrooms? I brought a big bag of them!"
The two cubs munched on the dried mushrooms and quickly became familiar with each other. They chattered about their new school with carefree joy in their voices.
"The bone demons in my tribe all say that math is difficult," Mie Wu said worriedly, "If I can't learn it, the bone demon elder will definitely spank me."
"Don't worry, I'm here!" Gu Ge patted his chest, "When the time comes, you can hide in the tent of our Skeleton Warrior Tribe. Given the relationship between our two tribes, the elders of the Bone Demon Tribe will definitely not be able to pull you out!"
Mie Wu nodded excitedly: "I will definitely go! This is so much fun!"
The other two bone demon cubs who heard their conversation were: "..."
Mie Wu! Wake up! If you dare to hide in the tent of the Skeleton Warriors, you will definitely be beaten badly by the elders!
Perhaps this silent resentment was too strong, Gu Ge turned around and looked at them: "You are also welcome to play hide-and-seek in my tent! The four of us can play with building blocks!"
The two bone demon cubs hesitated for less than a second: "Okay!"
I might get beaten up, but it sounds like a lot of fun!
They were chattering away, and after a while, they heard the music of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. A nightmare demon walked into the classroom with a thick stack of slates in his hands. Smiling, he gave one to each of the cubs.
"Hello everyone, I'm your magic teacher, you can call me Yipi," said the Nightmare Yipi, counting the cubs in the class and making sure everyone was sitting still. "So first of all, let's introduce ourselves!"
The cubs sat on special small stools and stood up one by one to introduce themselves. At the end, they happily took the candies handed over by the teacher amid the applause of other classmates, peeled off the candy wrappers made of leaves, and couldn't wait to put them into their mouths.
…
There were bursts of laughter in the school, and the children's voices reading aloud revealed their happiness. However, the adult skeleton warriors working in Bone Thorn City were worried and sighed, worrying about the cubs' first day of school.
The demons in the Demon King's Palace didn't feel anything, like the Winged Demons, Nightmare Demons, Goblins, and the wandering demons that joined the Demon King's Palace later. Their cubs were already in kindergarten, and there were teachers who taught them to read and write. They were already accustomed to this teaching mode.
"My sister is going to school today, too," Youwu, a member of the construction team who is responsible for the structure and decoration of the house, said proudly, "She is in the fifth grade. The king said that there are only thirty-seven cubs who can enter the fifth grade now!"
The skeleton warriors who were hammering bricks into the soil looked at her when they heard the sound.
Although all their arrogance had been worn away by a month of compulsory labor, they still seldom communicated with other races. It was not just because other races were weak, but more because they felt it was too embarrassing to be forced to fertilize the shrubs while being watched.
But since it was about the cub, they threw aside all their concerns and asked Youwu: "Our cub is in the first grade. In addition to the necessary items for freshmen that the Demon King's Palace had released before, do we need to prepare anything extra for her?"
"Don't worry. The Demon King's Palace has assigned a special demon to each class to take care of the cubs' lives. They won't let the cubs suffer." Seeing the anxiety of the skeleton warriors, You Wu kindly comforted them, "If you must prepare something, maybe you can prepare some snacks? This way, the cubs can share with each other and make friends easily."
The skeleton warriors looked at each other and nodded solemnly: "Okay, then we will go to the grocery store to buy a new schoolbag for Gu Ge when we return to the Demon King's Palace tonight."
You Wu was stunned for a moment: "Hey, why do you want to buy a schoolbag? Didn't you buy schoolbags for your cubs before?"
"Because the old schoolbag is already full of snacks," the skeleton warriors tilted their heads in confusion, not understanding why Youwu asked this. "We have to prepare some snacks for Gu Ge to eat herself, what if the school lunch is not delicious!"
You Wu: “…”
Are the Skeleton Warriors' cubs too greedy, or are they too pampering? Is it reasonable to bring a bag full of snacks to school?
Not knowing whether the cub would be bullied because of its race as a skeleton warrior, You Wu worriedly thought that maybe he could ask his sister You Qi to help take care of it.
