Time to make up some stories.

I hesitated for a second, "Well, the truth is, I did do all of those things. I guess I suddenly had an epiphany and decided to grow up and act more maturely. I do regret my actions and I hope that in the future I can make up for all of my mistakes. That's why I asked you to come to my tea party."

"You invited me for that reason?" Sir Leonard looked surprised. "But your past behavior never affected me directly. Why would you need to apologize?"

"It never affected you, but it did affect your brother, right? Isn't that how you heard about my behavior?" I said in response.

Before he could reply, I spoke again, "I made a scene in front of the First Order of Knights about two months ago and broke some of their equipment, which is why they've banned me from visiting their training grounds. However, today, the tea party is being held near them, so I wanted you to be there as a witness of sorts. If they try to kick me out, just vouch for me."

He thought about this for a moment. "I understand, but just be aware that my words may not be enough to help you."

He turned towards his briefcase, pulling out a thick looking textbook.

"Seeing as we don't need to work on math or English, we can focus on history instead," he said, while flipping the book open to the first page.

I looked at the tiny words on the paper and wilted. "How long will it take to go through this whole book?"

Sir Leonard pushed his glasses up. "There are twenty-one chapters total. Each chapter has between seven to twelve lessons. If we can complete one lesson a day, it will only take around a year to finish."

"I'll be making a quiz every day at the start of the lesson, and a full test at the end of each chapter. Be prepared for those," he continued.

TWENTY ONE CHAPTERS!? Quiz every lesson!? I didn't graduate just to go to school again!

I sighed out loud, but opened a notebook to start writing notes.

Oh well, learning the background of this story will help me in the long run...

Sir Leonard started the lesson, beginning with the details of the earliest recorded past.
