Amelia sighed at this last comment wondering who would ever destroy a book. She started to daydream a bit and she started to stare out the window. She quickly came back to this planet and looked up at Selene. "Cool."

"If not many people can read, what's the point of textbooks? Is this essentially a military academy?" Deke was surprised that illiterate people even existed. How could they survive? He had never met one, and wondered what they were like.

"It's both," said Selene quickly. "I hope. There were a few people who couldn't read, but most folks just learned a few basic words, addition, and subtraction, so they wouldn't get cheated in business deals." She finished off her soup in a final slurp. "I'm going to the library." She got to her feet.

Deke got up (or down, actually) "I think I will follow them," he said to no one in particular. "Are you coming, Ebeth?" He ambled off to the library, still wondering about these people that his father called "uneducated".
