Actually, that sounded a lot worst than what they were doing now. Eino didn't want to fake die, move out of his home, change his identity, rise and repeat Merlin knows how many times. "In the end, wizards still couldn't openly live with muggles, so what's the point in having to go through all that if we can just live how we do now?" Not to mention that before there was the risk of some people dying, including Muggles.
Kurumi turned her attention to the discussion Eino was having with Jake. Eino did bring up a very valid point. Where they really all that much better off now? Sure, there were not any non-magical people chasing them with pitchforks and torches now, but they still did not have freedom. “
Doesn’t anyone else feel like we are prisoners?” Kurumi asked the class at large really more thinking aloud than anything else. “
I mean, I am not saying that wizardingkind should be above non-magical people, but why do we have to suffer for being different? Historically, we know that there was much persecution among non-magicals based on race…isn’t this almost the same thing? When they were forced to recognize those difference and live among each other, sure, there were a lot of riots and fights, but things did get better.”
She paused for a moment to collect herself.
“
People have been saying lately that in a perfect world we could coincide. But, the reality is, there will never be a perfect world. Do we really have to hide forever?”
