The Legendary Farmer's
Chapter 8 - Teacher

Paijo opened his eyes slowly as his consciousness returned. Then look to the left and right to determine where he is. After a moment of observing around and getting used to the pain in the back of the head from the previous hit, Paijo woke up from sleep and leaned against the wall behind him. Paijo only realized that it was on the porch of the house that he had previously visited after finishing scanning the surroundings more thoroughly.

"Finally you're aware too" said someone.

Hearing someone speak, Paijo immediately turned to the source of the voice. A humanoid creature was sitting in the corner of another terrace. A cup is perched in his hand which indicates if the figure is enjoying a warm drink.

Paijo could not determine what kind of figure it was from what lineage. But if seen in plain sight, the face of the figure has a human-like texture, dark brown skin and filled with wrinkles. The flap-cut white hair on his head looked thick, each strand was two millimeters in diameter. He also has a beard that is also white and long. Around his neck were sheets of blackish-red color resembling a crown of flowers, stacked and wide.

"Status!" Paijo is curious about the figure and decides to see who he really is.

Name: ???

Race: Matandur

Verenians

Level ???

Rank: ???

Rebith ???

Talent: ???

???: ???

"Ras Matandur! But why so many signs? Uh! It must be because my level is still low." Paijo spoke to himself so slowly that it sounded like a hiss. Paijo deliberately let out a sound as slow as possible so as not to disturb the figure who was still engrossed with his drinking cup.

"Basic doesn't know manners!" The figure who had been busy enjoying the liquid in his wooden cup suddenly raised a voice. There was anger that wrapped up his every word.

Feeling the anger of the figure across the porch fixed on him, Paijo immediately took a position of praise and said, "Sorry Master! Because they entered without permission. Please forgive me for this sassy! "

Spontaneous attitudes that directly lower self-esteem make Paijo sure if his actions break into Safe Farm will be forgiven just like that. But what happened was far from Paijo's expectations. Instead of forgiving, the figure spoke again, this time in a loud and snapping voice. Paijo who just realized that he had missteps can only be shocked and confused what to behave.

"I'm not talking about that. But what did you just do!"

"What did I just do?" Paijo. Not understanding the meaning of that figure. If remembered, the biggest mistake Paijo of course entered the Safe Farm without permission. But that's not what I meant. Thenwhat? Is it because Paijo observes the whole farm and remembers what was seen in this place? "Or don't-don't..."

"Seeing someone's status without permission is tantamount to harassment. Don't you know that? Especially to someone who is far above your level." Before Paijo could finish his sentence, the figure still sitting in his place cut. His tone was full of insinuations as well as threats. Although the look of his eyes was thrown far into the farmland, Paijo could feel anger exploding in the mind of the figure.

"Eh! So you know if..."

"Don't equate me with anyone else! And don't ask me how I know!"

Knowing his mistake, Paijo bowed deeply and pleaded again, "Please forgive me Master! Not one bit I intend to harass you. But if you do feel very offended, I am ready to be punished in any way. I'm ready to do anything for you to forgive me. I didn't ask you to leave this place. I will surely fulfill it. Because I'm…"

"You shouldn't have been here from the beginning. Didn't you see the entry forbidden text at the gate?"

Paijo. Paijo was sure there wasn't any writing at the gate. Other than the two solid door leaves and the signboard perched on the archway, there was nothing else like the wrinkled-skinned figure. Although there are only pieces of wood that are destroyed by being eaten by termites. It was already lying on the ground and covered in thick dust.

"It looks like the writing you're referring to is broken." After thinking for a moment and weighing what is in the front gate, Paijo guessed if the piece of wood that is almost eaten by termites is what is meant.

"really?" The figure in the corner of the terrace was quite surprised. He did not expect that what had been a tool to trick anyone who wanted to come to his residence had been destroyed. Found the fact that the figure who is still sitting in his place suspects that the appearance of Paijo in his residence is certain because there is no prohibition board at the gate. That means Paijo is not entirely wrong. "I should have used harder wood from the beginning. So what was your purpose in coming here?"

Hearing the question that had been awaited from the beginning, Paijo immediately upheld the body. His expression turned enthusiastic as well as hopeful. Without thinking any more, Paijo replied, "I want to learn farming. I want to master what you master as a Farmer. I will master everything as quickly as you never imagined. I want to be like you."

The figure in the corner of the terrace spouts a drink that is still stagnant in the mouth cavity. Paijo's words were no doubt like a crushing blow to the figure. How not? During his life in Gedhetenan Land for the first time there was someone who wanted to learn the talents of farmers to such seriousness. Usually, anyone who wants to farm is just desperate people who have given up living a hard life in this world, and just want to live life without caring what is called level. If they could eat, that would be enough for them. Moreover, the talent of the farmer is only a low-level talent that only produces food. In contrast to the talents of fighter types that are very useful for exploring the world.

"Are you serious?"

Paijo nodded. No doubt was raised from his eyes. "So serious, Sir!"

Seeing the seriousness of Paijo, the expression of the white-haired figure also turned serious. After placing his wooden cup on the table, the figure took an upright sitting position. His eyes glimpsed Paijo before being thrown back into the farmland saying, "What's your goal? Better give me a satisfactory answer. Otherwise I'll kill you on the spot."

"My destination? Of course not to starve." Paijo said what exploded in his brain. His words were light as if it was only that which became the end point of his struggle coming to this place. Even the figure that had been silent in place immediately stood up and stared with fury. His hands clenched because he felt toyed with and prepared to execute one of his skills to finish off Paijo. But before that happened, Paijo spoke again.

"Not just for me but for everyone. Yep. For all those who are starving for not being able to face the cruelty of this world. Wherever food is, it is the foundation of life. Whether as strong as it is, whether it is an individual or a large group, all need food in order to keep climbing the steepness of the world. I believe that by mastering the talent of the farmer, I can help others even if it is just a small piece of food that will run out in just an instant. Farmers are not a talent that can change the world, but a talent that will always be able to turn a life."

Laughter suddenly exploded from the mouth of the figure at the end of the terrace. His voice was loud and blaring to the farm. There was a satisfaction now emanating from his two eyes.

"Good! I'm Aman gonna raise you as a student. I hope you won't let me down."

Paijo hurried to his feet and slightly bowed and spoke, "Good teacher! I'm Paijo going to learn as well and as fast as possible."

"good. I like your spirit. Now home! And come back in the morning!"

"Eh! That's. Anu's... " Paijo scratched his head. His gaze immediately fell onto the floor of the terrace made of a wooden cut arrangement. Confused and embarrassed, Paijo hesitated to continue his words. "Can I just stay here?"

"Whatever! But remember! Don't ever come into my house! And never intend to peek inside."

"Good teacher!"

This is the beginning of Paijo's journey. A start that will change the whole course of life in all of Gedhetenan Land. The initial step that will make the human race that was previously always underestimated and viewed online will be very calculated and respected.
