After the researchers dealt with a terrible hangover, and the hunters spent some time getting to know Uhms, I started my annoying job as a full-time translator, alongside Hailwic. We would switch each day and one of us would work with the linguists, while the other with the anthropologist.

Sudarshana Patel and Vladimir Fedorov were to learn and register as many words of Uhms' language as they could. In both written and spoken form. The alphabet they were using was called Ao and was consisting of hundreds of signs.

They usually were circles inside circles, with dots or lines. Some words were a mix of those signs.

This was an incredibly boring process. Since all I would do was just repeat stuff I already knew. Not to mention the fact there were many people in Arc who could do this, so it felt like a waste of time.

The days when I worked with Jakub Kowalski were more interesting since I could learn stuff about the Uhms' belief system, or hierarchy in their society.

,m They were actually a matriarchy with some interesting exceptions. Usually, the woman chosen from the elders, by elders, would rule. In case of her death, the village chief would take over until a new 'head', which was the official title of their ruler, would be chosen.

Village chiefs on the other hand were kinda like the quartermasters. They made sure that agriculture was functioning properly and were collecting food for the elders, who usually wouldn't work since they had other jobs to do. They would also oversee the community construction projects.

Each village had its own chief, but the main settlement chief was like their supervisor.

This all was due to the fact that women had a significantly longer lifespan. Average male Uhm would usually reach the age of 80 years, while the women would go as far as 140. They were also more intelligent.

The Despised had their own structure, but in the end, they would also answer to the head.

They had two units. The scouts, and the defenders. Both of them are quite self-explanatory. Ole was the supervisor of the first one, while some master was taking care of the other group.

They were kinda like society in society. Normally regular Uhms would avoid them, and they would live in solitude. Rarely tying their lives with some widowed females, still it happened from time to time.

Some time in the middle of acquiring all this knowledge, Hatta contacted me just to check on us, and to inform me that school was formally established in Ark, and also that Will's son arrived to spend some time with his father.

I was informed that with most of the stuff quite firmly established on the line of us and India, my friends also formally started hunting again.

Dustin's father stayed obviously. To spend some time with the kid. Train him in the sword, and also help him with the homework taught in the new local school.

The didactic level was quite high with all the egg-heads around, and small classes where teachers could spend more time with a single student.

To my amazement, I found out that quite a bit of xuzards started educating themselves. There were also a bunch of people from the poor parts of the world who didn't get a proper education.

Fortunately for Dustin, the lizards proved to be quite similar to him in both interests and height.

Eventually, though, the time to return came, since the voice recorders got full, just like notebooks, and also our supplies started running low.

I didn't really want to go all the way on foot, so I decided to just shadow walk everybody back to the city. This took the researchers by surprise, and many of them asked me why we didn't use it before. I shortly told them I couldn't and ignored further questions.

- So we returned home - said Tihana, with Tam in her arms, as everybody else dispersed.

- Yep. Time to go to school.

She sighed.

- It's gonna be horrible - she added.

- You will survive - I reassured her. - And who knows, maybe if you do good, your dad might drop you some nice fat crystals to upgrade yourself.

- Is that a promise?

- Who knows, maybe? - I shrugged my shoulders. - Only one way to find out.

- You know that I could just upgrade my brains and wouldn't need this school thing at all?

- Yeah, but you wouldn't learn a thing about the hard work, and would remain a spoiled little brat.

- I'm not spoiled. I used to be homeless, you know?

- Yeah, but then your knight on a white horse adopted you, and now you are a daughter of a rich badass.

She snorted but smiled nonetheless.

- You can't just let slide a chance to flex, can't you? You are such a dork dad.

- Watch your mouth brat.

She stuck her tongue at me, and then left, shouting:

- I'm going to Irina! - as a goodbye.

- Say hi to her from me!

I watched her vanishing in the alleys, and then shadow walked to my own house to take a shower.

There was a possibility to wash yourself in the Uhm village and let the fishes eat your dead skin straight from your own body, but I still wanted a proper shower. I also shaved for the first time in a while, since I was looking more like a homeless guy, than a millionaire.

Then I went to my own, nife and fluffy bed to have a proper sleep for the first time in around a month. I was very much used to sleeping on the ground, but nevertheless, I really enjoyed having a nice mattress under my body, a pillow under my head, and a blanket, to cover myself with. Pretty much because I could enjoy them only on rare occasions since most of my time I was spending outside of the city.

The day came to an end with 24 330 290 points remaining on my account, and 21 class points.
