Endless Journey: Infinite Realms 398 CALAMITY AND PROSPERITY: THE DIFFERENT ERAS OF THE FOUR MOONS WORLD

"This world was nearing its ruin, especially during the Calamity Era. Factions of different powers waged silent battles with each other, while frightening monsters threatened the very fabric of life of our ancestors. The innovative abilities of our ancestors allowed them to survive, although these abilities were only enough to keep the dangers at bay. In the end, it took the help of a benevolent figure to save this world."

The one who said these words were Wisteria, who did so while speaking in a solemn tone.

Her posture as she talked right now was as straight as a board, which made her look respectable. This respectable image was further amplified by the book that she held on her left hand, and a marker that she held on her right. The combination of these objects made her appear serious, although the slight smile on her face made her look approachable too.

"Snap."

After Wisteria finished talking, she abruptly closed her book shut, while she started rapping her marker on the smooth board behind her. Slight impatience could be seen on her face, although she quickly smoothed it out as she narrowed her eyes.

She then looked at her audience, which was comprised of 20 small kids that are all staring at her with rapt attention.

She ignored the messy state of the room as she started pointedly at one of the kids, who was sporting a bright, green spiky hair.

"Tony, since you seem to be interested on history, can you please tell me the person who quoted the words that I just spoke earlier?" Wisteria said with an enthusiastic expression on her face. A wide smile accompanied this enthusiasm, which made the kids feel more at ease with her. "If you can answer this well, I will give you a star. You want your parents to see a star, right?"

"Ah Teacher! It's the great historian Cyrus who said that line! And he said it on his famous book!" Tony, the green-haired kid said as he excitedly jumped up from his seat. The wings attached on his back flapped as he continued jumping, which made the kid behind him cry as the wings hit the poor kid in the face.

Tony ignored these cries as he continued to talk in an excited tone.

"Teacher! How about that? Can I get a star now?"

"Very good Tony. You clearly are reading books. Your parents will be happy about that." Wisteria said as she patted Tony above his head.

The marker on her right hand was now gone, as a small, star-shaped stamp appeared on its place. Wisteria quickly stamped this stamp on Tony's right hand, making Tony squeal in delight.

"There, Tony. That's one star for you. If you want to get more stars, then just answer more of my questions." Wisteria said in a doting tone as she observed the star image that is now engraved on Tony's hand. "Now sit down and apologize to Steve. He's still crying because of what you did."

"But teacher! It's Steve's fault that he got hit by my wings! He's just too slow to evade it!" Tony said in an aggrieved tone as he glared at Steve. Steve was still crying at that point, and it only intensified after he received Tony's glare.

"Waah Teacher! Tony is so mean! He's hurting me! Waaah!!!" Steve cried out as he wiped his tears with his uniform.

This made him look messy, and Wisteria could not help but click her tongue upon seeing the snot stain his shirt.

Of course Wisteria made sure that none of the kids can see her irritation, as she approached Steve only with an apologetic look on her face.

She then proceeded to pat Steve in an effort to calm him down.

"Steve, if it really hurts, then I can bring you to the clinic now. Do you want to go to the clinic?'

"Hic, I don't want to go Teacher! Hic, the clinic is boring! I cannot play there!"

"So are you okay on staying here? Are you sure that you don't want to leave?"

"Hic, Teacher, I am a strong boy! I-I don't feel painful anymore! I don't need to go there!"

"Are you sure?"

"Y-yes, Teacher! You can spank me if I am lying!"

"What a courageous boy. Your parents must be happy with your guts." Wisteria fondly said as she fixed up Steve's still messy face.

Wisteria did her best to not wince as she wiped Steve's tears and snot, although she almost cussed out when she accidently touched the wet spot on Steve's shirt. Luckily for her, she managed to clean Steve up before she reached her breaking point.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"There, you're all good now. Now, if you still feel bad, just tell it to me, and I will do my best to help you. Are you okay with that, Steve?'

"Yes Teacher!"

"Okay. As for you Tony, I will have to send a letter to your parents regarding your conduct here. They need to know about what you did to Steve, especially your refusal to apologize to him."

"Hahaha! Tony, you are getting spanked by your mommy later! Serves your right!"

"Hey Steve! I did not even hit you that hard! You are just weak! That's why you cried!"

"H-hey! I am not a crybaby! I am a strong boy too! You just hit me in my weak spot!"

"Hmph, crybaby crybaby crybaby crybaby!"

"Waaah! Teacher, Tony is bullying me again! Waaah!!!"

"…"

It was just the start of the day, and yet Wisteria was already close to blowing her top off.

Two kids bickering in her class was enough to make her almost explode in rage. For one of them to cry while making a mess on the floor just made it worse.

"Boys…. If you continued to argue like this, I will make sure to make your parents know about this too." A vein on Wisteria's forehead almost popped as she said these words. "Now, why don't you two sit down and listen to my lesson. That's why you went to this institute, right?"

"Yes Teacher…" Both kids looked like they wanted to argue more, but the eerie smile on Wisteria's face made them lose any courage to disobey her.

Both of them sat back on their seats as they kept their mouth shut. They then looked back at Wisteria as she went back to her original position.

"Just like what I told Tony earlier, his answer to my question was right. It was the great historian Cyrus who quoted that line. And he did it on his first book, which was titled [CALAMITY AND PROSPERITY: THE DIFFERENT ERAS OF THE FOUR MOONS WORLD.]" Wisteria started to say as she felt her rage slowly fading into a slight simmer. An intellectual gleam slowly appeared on her eyes as she went back on her teaching mode.

"This book talks about the entire history of the Four Moons World, staring from it beginning until the present times" Wisteria said as she rapped her fingers on the book that she was holding earlier. "Now, I know that everyone of you had read this book already. After all, this book was your topic book last year."

"Yes, teacher. We have read it!"

Wisteria did her best to not snap at the talkative kid as she continued her lecture. "Now, who among you can tell me an abridged version of the history of this world? You had read Cyrus' book already, so someone from you should be able to answer it. Oh, the one who answers this will get 5 stars from me."

"Teacher, I can answer that!"

"Teacher, choose me! I memorized it!"

"Teacher, me, me, me!"

"Teacher, I want to pee pee!"

Almost every kid raised their hands after hearing Wisteria's question, except for that one kid who wanted to go to the comfort room.

Wisteria's face was filled with appreciation as she looked at the enthusiastic kids, which made her look like a dedicated teacher. However, she was actually only feeling boredom right now, and she was only using her willpower to stop herself from yawning.

"Bruce, you don't need to ask me if you want to pee. You can just do it by yourself. The bathroom is just there." Wisteria said as she gave a chiding smile at Bruce. "You can pee by yourself by now, right?"

"Yes teacher…"

"Then go. You can do it!"

"Pit pat pit pat."

As the little Bruce began to run towards his salvation, Wisteria looked back at the remaining kids, who were still raising their hands. They were still waiting to be chosen by Wisteria, and none of them appeared to be willing to put their hands down.

"Okay… all of you are willing to answer. This is good." Wisteria slowly said as she gave out a teasing smile to the kids. "Hmm… who should I choose here? Aha! I choose you, Steve!"

"Yay!"

"Teacher! That is not fair! Why are you choosing Steve? I am better than him!"

"Tony, you are just jealous that I got chosen! Teacher likes me more than you!"

"Hey that's not true! Teacher likes me more!"

"No, she likes me more!"

"No, I said it's me!"

"It's me!"

"Boys, do this one more time, and I will call your parents right now." Wisteria said as her eyes began to twitch. "Tony, sit down. As for you Steve, go and answer my question already."

"Okay…"

As the dejected Tony sat back on his seat with a sulking expression on his face, the clearly smug Steve began to stand in front of the class, with his arms behind his back.

He appeared to be extremely pleased that he was chosen by Wisteria, and he drove that point home when he made a face at Tony.

"Steve, behave."

"Okay Teacher…"

After receiving another light 'warning' from Wisteria, Steve had no more choice but to stop teasing his classmate. He went back to his serious mode as he began to answer the question that he was supposed to answer already.

"Umm… at the beginning, I think this world only had normal people in it. They are just like normal! They don't have powers at all!" Steve started his answer with these words, with the tone in his voice similar to that of a person struggling to reminisce something. "And then um… the moons appeared, and they gave people powers! Then the people who had powers formed their own teams!"

"Good, go on Steve."

"And then um… the moons also sent their calamities, which the people with powers fought! The Celestials, the Devourers, and the Symbolist did their best to fight the calamities! But um… it was not enough! The final calamity was too much for our ancestors, and they almost died!"

"That's it Steve. Just continue."

"And then the Great Emperor Litch came in and saved this world! He um… He brought his powerful subordinates and army to save the world! He… he became the messiah and our savior!"

"And what happened after that Steve?"

"Um after the Great Emperor Litch saved us, he… he included our world in his Undying Empire! He then improved every aspect of our life including our technology! He then um… abolished the faction system in our world! And then um…"

"You're getting to the end already, Steve. Just say what you can still say."

"Umm… because of the abolishment of the faction system, everyone can now marry each other! Um... this allowed a Celestial to marry a Devourer, or even marry a Symbolist! Yes, that's it Teacher! Everyone can be lovey-dovey already!"

"That's a nice detour Steve, but that's not the end of the summary. You still have something to mention."

"Oh! Because of the benevolence of the Great Emperor Litch, we can now also go to space! We became cool space travelers! That brings this world to the Space Age!"

"Is there anything else that you want to say, Steve?"

"Umm… no Teacher. That's all that I can remember."

"Bravo, Steve. Just like Tony, you have been reading books too. Now come here and get your reward." Wisteria said with admiration as she pulled out her stamp again. Of course she was not impressed at all, but for the sake of her job, she had to make these kids feel good.

"Yay! I have more stars than Tony! Teacher really likes me more!" Steve blurted out as he smugly displayed the five stars stamped on his arm. "How about that Tony? Can you get more stars than me?'

"Teacher! I want more stars! Please give me more!"

"Hahaha! Tony is jealous! Tony is jealous!"

"Hey, I am not jealous!"

"Then why are you angry! Haha, you are jealous!"

"Waaah! Teacher, Steve is bullying me! Waah!"

"...."
