God's Apostle: Rebirth of a Lazy Genius

Ethan was almost six years old and his birthday was near, days were passing by in the blink of an eye and he was getting by just fine. He now had more mobility around the mansion and he also gained more knowledge.

His facade was still on and now everyone was convinced that Ethan surely had some sort of problem in the head. Ethan did not care what others thought of him and just kept doing his own thing.

Although he liked to chill by himself it wasn't always fun and games. He also felt bored sometimes but his problem was soon solved as Albaer had invited some well-known teachers for him to begin his formal education which mostly consisted of Language, history, maths, strategy, literature, music, etiquette, and much more.

Ethan decided to take it seriously as he was in a completely new world, unforeseen circumstances might occur at any time and only knowledge would save him.

But there was a big problem with how he was going to handle all this. He was supposed to act dumb and learn vigorously at the same time which was almost impossible without certain compromises.

But Ethan knew what he needed to do. It was necessary and it was something he had thought of doing anyways.

And so a variety of tutors arrived at the Mansion to begin Ethan's education.

Ethan was in his room and everyone else was told to leave and his first tutor was about to arrive. Ethan was sitting on the sofa and waiting for the person to arrive.

His body was already starting to mature bit by bit. He wore a formal noble attire which was a dark brown colored coat over a white loose shirt with full pants. The coat stood out as the texture was rich and it was also adorned with detailed golden designs.

Ethan's face which looked cute just a few years ago was now turning out to be devilishly handsome.

A knock sounded and a middle-aged man who wore neat clothes and glasses and had a very organized feel about him came in.

He entered and first bowed slightly and sat in front on the sofa in front of Ethan.

"Young Master Ethan, I am called Keith Heathman and I will be tutoring you on various subjects. Please do not hesitate to tell me if you have any questions." Keith said with a smile as he looked at Ethan.

Ethan simply stared at the man without saying anything. The silence ensued for quite a while and Keith became increasingly awkward.

His enthusiastic smile turned into a rather awkward one as he looked at Ethan. He shrugged it off for the moment and brought out a book from his bag.

"Young Master, I will begin now..." Keith said as he opened the book and went on reading it out loud to Ethan.

It was the same tale he had seen in the book but also included more details as well as told what happened in detail after the Gods left.

"Wait what? So is this really the history of this world?" Ethan thought.

Generally, on earth, folklore around Gods was considered Mythology and he did not expect that the people in this world truly believed in this kind of history.

But then again, this world also had magic-like powers so it wouldn't be that strange if that story truly was true but Ethan wasn't going to believe what was written without any proof.

Keith who was teaching Ethan about history was also observing his reactions sneakily. Usually, kids his age showed awe and bewilderment after hearing the story but when he saw Ethan he was surprised to see that he showed no reaction whatsoever. And yet the man continued teaching.

A few minutes passed and Keith looked at Ethan again and saw that he was literally dozing off. He felt insulted and honestly wanted to slap the brat, "What a disgrace for a Duke's son! If he wasn't, I wouldn't even have seen him in my entire life!" Keith thought.

A few more minutes passed and Keith said, "Ah. Young Master Ethan... Do you have any questions?"

Ethan suddenly jolted awake and stumbled a bit and looked around as if he had forgotten where he was surprised to have been woken up.

"Oh.. Right... Question..." Ethan said and made a pose as if he was really giving it a thought.

Keith looked a little hopeful and skeptical at the same time as he looked at Ethan and waited patiently.

"Ahh! Yeah I have a question!" Ethan said excitedly but even that somehow looked rather dull with the way he slowly clapped.

"Yes? What is it?" Keith asked finally seeing some hope.

"You said that Atrana Empire is ruled by the emperor and the royal family, right?" Ethan asked.

"Yes... But what is your question?" Keith asked.

"Well, then how come the emperor gets to rule over common people like that? Shouldn't the people get a choice if they want the emperor to rule over them?" Ethan said with a very innocent face but Keith started breaking into a cold sweat.

"That- Goodness... Young Master Ethan! You shouldn't say such things!" He spouted.

"Why?" Ethan asked with a sincere expression.

"Th- that is... Well. Please excuse me.." Keith finally gave up and ran away.

Ethan simply looked at the door with disappointment.

Strangely enough, Keith didn't show up the next day and very humbly denied tutoring Ethan saying, "Young Master Ethan is too wise and I am not capable enough to teach him! Please forgive my incompetence, Your Grace!"

After that, many others also came and went saying the same thing. Ethan showed the same kind of clumsy, dull, and incompetent impression to everyone who came. It was so bad that the list of tutors was starting to run out of names.

"Not him either... I need the perfect one to do this..." Ethan muttered as he once again sighed and looked at the door with disappointment from which another tutor had left.

The whole White Family except for the kids gathered in the mansion's meeting chambers.

"Brother... Another one refused..." Alier said awkwardly as he looked at Albaer.

"Goddamit! How dare they... Incompetent picking retards!" Albaer roared, "That's Enough!" Grandma White said and Albaer immediately calmed down.

"Even if he's.. a genius... he needs to have an official tutor. That's the tradition and cannot be broken." Grandma White said with a straight face.

Everyone knew that Ethan was no genius and why every tutor was refusing to teach him but no one would dare to say it out loud.

"He doesn't have to... We're here for him... He's the heir of the Dukedom and that doesn't need formal education anyways..." Aisha said.

"That won't do, we must get him a tutor who is at least well-known. A student is known by their teacher and a teacher is known by their student. That's how the Noble Society works before the child comes of age." Grandma White said firmly.

"But all the well-known scholars have refused..." Aisha said again. She was not disappointed in her son but just worried for him. She did not want him to be called by names in the Noble Society.

"Ahem... If I may.. I do have a suggestion... But.." Alier cleared his throat and said hesitantly.
