The legend of Will still soars through the skies along the route…
Currently, colleges and universities across Sandy have begun enrolling students.
The houses built were not particularly beautiful, but they were large enough to accommodate children from every region.
In places with vast land but not many people, there is a college only when they are quite far apart.
Once more and denser colleges are built, the population of Sandy Territory may exceed tens of thousands.
As the territory expanded to this point, the village head went to the city and heard about it. He then went around the countryside talking about the main children in the territory going to school.
Yonggangtun was the original settlement of Sandy.
Ron used to fish here when he was very young, and the old folks in the village still remember the young lord.
Lord Lance started a free academy, and out of trust in him, when the village head returned and told everyone, every household started discussing sending their children to school.
The academies in various places are still called "Magic and Martial Arts Academy," but they mainly focus on basic courses such as literacy.
Unlike Toby Magic Academy, which is full of noble and wealthy children, many of whom have had private tutors who teach them to read since they were five years old.
Back then, Ron's baronial family was quite impoverished, and Ron's tutors were actually his father, Borg, and his mother, Tina.
Children from poor families don't need to worry about having proper upbringing.
Ron originally wanted to set the minimum school age at five, since he himself started practicing with his father using a wooden sword when he was five.
But after thinking about it, Ron still set the minimum school age at six and the maximum at fifteen.
In other words, children under the age of 15 may attend school together with six-year-old toddlers.
Since everyone is literate anyway, Ron would love for all his subjects to be literate!
Only when the basic qualities of the people are in place can development be fundamentally accelerated; otherwise, few people will appreciate things like songs and storybooks.
Industries actually include both soft industries and real industries.
Nearly two months after Ron took office, families from all over the territory brought their children outside the academy for the first time.
Almost all the school-age children from the region came, which, without coercion, can be considered a demonstration of the lord's credibility.
Some concepts don't need to be explained to others. Ron was reviewing documents in the manor, mainly to check on the progress of free education...
On the first day, Qiao Ban brought his little boy to Yonggang Magic and Martial Arts Academy.
The small academy had the words "Magic and Martial Arts" added to its name, but unfortunately, the people couldn't understand what was written on the notice.
Surprisingly, local residents, including Joban, also spotted subspecies such as the cat people.
Does this mean they have to go to school with children of subspecies?
When the township head first spoke, Qiao Banben was somewhat worried. It had only been nearly two months, and the sense of unfamiliarity between different ethnic groups was still there.
Trusting the lord, and following the village chief's call, Joban still brought little Eugene.
In a village, the small academy was packed with people, including their parents.
Suddenly, the academy gates opened, and a human man emerged alongside a fox spirit.
The man's name was Langman. He was a pastoral magician in charge of several villages. Upon seeing a familiar face in a high position, the adult villagers felt at ease.
And look at the beautiful fox spirit beside him, she's really gorgeous. ^_+
Leaving the children aside, even the middle-aged and elderly men couldn't help but glance at them a few more times.
Even older children's eyes light up. *_*
What made the fox spirit Dale happiest was that a human girl who was a little over six years old said, "Teacher, you are so beautiful!"
Overjoyed, ~_~, U_U, x_x, suddenly, the fox-girl Dale felt that teaching might be an interesting thing...
Even the noble mages were tempted by magic crystals to become teachers. In fact, at first, the fox girl Dale was more interested in accumulating a large amount of stable magic crystals, coupled with the orders from Chief Nika...
Eight hours a day, seven days on, two days off, fixed hours.
However, for the children, it is a semi-mandatory teaching method, taking into account the overall teaching environment of the Oran Continent.
Students still only need to pass the final exam, and skipping grades or taking exams early is even more welcome. Those who are confident in proving themselves to be geniuses are welcome to take the exam. Sandyland is still in dire need of a large number of talents of all kinds.
Semi-mandatory means that students must attend school in the afternoon, while attending in the morning is optional. It mainly depends on the individual student and the quality of the teacher's instruction.
For physical reasons, the area is vast and the colleges are quite far apart, at least for now. It's not certain I can get to the college in the morning…
The semi-mandatory system doesn't actually involve any real punishment; even skipping afternoon classes is allowed. However, the local education department encourages teachers to make home visits to see what difficulties might be causing the situation.
Reporting it to the lord's manor can help resolve the issue.
Things that magic crystals can solve are not a big deal for Ron; Ron always has an ultimate weapon.
If you're completely out of magic crystals, take your offering token to the Kingdom of Gil's treasury...
Just think about it. Auctioning off someone else's kingdom's treasures would only cause trouble for the royal family. Ron has never done that.
The national treasury's resources are best left for personal use. :-x
Before entering Yonggang Magic and Martial Arts Academy, the male teacher, Langman, invited the eligible students in.
School has started.
A simple opening ceremony was held, with a group of parents listening outside.
Langman was thinking of showing off his eloquence in front of the fox woman, fantasizing about the importance of literacy, and hoping that one day his students would become pastoral magicians like him and serve the great lord.
Unfortunately, Longman's plan backfired; his official speech only made the clever fox spirit think he was hypocritical.
...
When it was time for the fox girl, Dale, to speak, she gently swayed her fox tail, and her two fox ears stood up slightly.
Dale only said one sentence: "My students, study hard and earn more magic crystals in the future."
Suddenly, the fox spirit Dale's eyes seemed to glow with the light of magic crystals.
Magic crystals are great, but their usefulness is limited in legendary realms...
From this position, it's clear that the fox woman's words are more likely to resonate with the parents in the distance...
Ordinary people are just ordinary.
After the opening ceremony, parents leave temporarily and can pick up their children after school. Older children don't even need to be picked up.
Another job, school bus staff, is being prepared.
However, there aren't enough beast tamers in the territory right now...
Mutant beasts are not easy to tame, and development will have to proceed slowly.
Inside the school.
A scene of great historical significance has unfolded.
o_o
In front of each student was a sand table. The initial free education, which taught literacy and calligraphy, began with writing characters on a wooden stick in the sand table.
Cardboard is still scarce, and designs for mass-producing paper are still under research. As demand arises, research progress is accelerated.
Lacking the necessary facilities, he practiced calligraphy on a sand table.
The fox-woman, Dale, didn't notice anything amiss, and before she knew it, her fox tail was swaying even more vigorously.
Back then, the fox clan was in a bad situation. The fox mother taught the common language of the continent of Dale by drawing lines in the sand. If we could go back to those days...
She, Dale, can now experience what it was like for her mother to teach others.
"Children, repeat after me, I!"
"I!"
"I!"
"Again, me!"
"I…"
"..."
"Okay, children, write it down."
The rustling of branches, the sound of birds perching on the green trees outside the wooden window, all drawn by the sound of reading.
The people didn't understand the lord's concept of greenery, but the birds perched and chirped, creating a very natural atmosphere.
After teaching multiple characters in a row, before we knew it, the large hourglass next to the classroom was about to turn over.
The soft ticking of the hourglass stopped, and the children suddenly understood something.
The fox-woman, Dale, said, "Time's up, children, get out of class is over and you can rest."
On their first day of school, whether they were children of the human race, the cat race, the rabbit race, the fox race, the wolf race, or the dwarf race, they were still writing in front of the sand table.
"I, you, him, we, they, everyone..."
The next lesson was given by a human pastoral mage.
