He submitted his papers and even his extra work to the head rune-smith but kept his own symbol that he made. Something inside him told him he would need it later. He left the class and headed to his next one and so the day went on till lunch time. (the normal length of a dwarf day is 36 hours)
Aran shouted: "Over here! Saved you a spot for lunch you slow poke."
"Am not, been busy that's all" Ramur said and then showed him what he had done in Runic Crafting class.
"Oh, wow that's cool, just what is it. What does it do?" Aran said with a look of confusion on his face.
"Don't know honestly it just came to me as I was making it will have to try it out later" Rumar said looking a little embarrassed.
After their little chat both of them ate their lunch and planned to meet up after school as normal to do a little mine exploring on the 6th level.
The day passed as normal, they laughed and learned. As it neared closer to the end of the day, the last class Ramur and Aran both had and hated was to do with ruling classes and infrastructure. So, the two friends slowly made their way to the last class room 304. Even the door looked old and out of place. As they both entered the room it let off a creeking sound, showing off just how old it was. When they got there, the teacher was already there and waiting.
"Be seated" he said in a low and harsh voice.
"Yes, Historian Melgus" Said both boys, then quickly made their way to the seats. As the last few students arrived, he began his class.
The class went on, questions were asked and answered until Ramur was asked to list off the structure of the class system for all the class to here.
"Yes, sir but it would be easier to draw it if I may."
"Yes, you may but be quick about it" he said
Ramur was quick to draw it out from what he understood of the current system.
"Now class can anybody tell me what Ramur forgot to add to his drawing."Said the teacher. The teacher then points out at the bottom and says: "he forgot to add the slave borns to the list." He said with a laugh making the boy blush a little. Slave borns are when to Serf have a child together meaning that there surrent owner would have rights to that boy or girl as if it was an object because by law they are not born a peasant or commoner. They can how ever buy their bith right at a very pricey some set by there owner. In this age and system class, who would not want free labour for life?
Ramur sat down and listened in on the class, they even went over even bit of his drawing and what fit where, not that it mattered to him since he did not know his true family name.
Aran could see that this was bothering him and tried his best to make Rumar feel better. After all there were over a handful of people that knew about this secret. The final bells rang telling everyone that it was the end of the school day.
