"What's a school?" one of the females asked upon hearing this.
"I heard it's for teaching things, and many people in the tribe are planning to send their kids there. Anyway, there's nothing to do in the winter, so they might as well send their little ones. Also... meals are included. I heard it's free for the first three years, but they'll start charging after that."
"Take money? Who has nothing better to do than take money and then send a baby?" Upon hearing this, a female immediately spoke up, but someone still sent the baby anyway.
The children were about five and twelve years old. Haitang taught them literature, while Changning taught them martial arts. Of course, there was also extracurricular support, which was probably provided by Huoqiu.
The school is very large, about 500 square meters. Small stools and tables are placed not far away. The little children who came today are in front, and the older children are behind.
The classes are divided into female and orc classes. Orcs focus on combat strength, while females have literature classes. In the literature classes, two days are for combat and one day is for literature.
On the girls' side, there were two scholars and one warrior. Although the little female didn't know why she had to train as well, she still obediently followed along.
On the first day of class, the little beastman was taught first. Haitang, Huoqiu, and Changning were present, and Xiaohe was also there. Xiaohe was also the teacher of the literature class. Changning and Qiaoming were in charge of the martial arts class.
Qiao Ming put in a lot of hard work, Chang Ning took the children running to improve their physical fitness and athletic ability, and Haitang even made a lot of modern training machines for this purpose.
"Alright, stop arguing..." Huo Qiu said immediately, looking at the little brats in front of him. "If you keep arguing, I'll throw you out." The little brats stopped talking.
"You must behave here and not bully the teacher. Anyone who bullies the teacher will be made to stand outside as punishment. If the little female next door sees you, you'll be so embarrassed." Upon hearing this, the little beastman fell silent.
Honestly, orcs are men too, and men are naturally inclined to show off in front of women... to demonstrate their abilities. Especially for orcs, losing face in front of females would be a disgrace.
Today was the first day, and we went straight into a lesson on writing. Haitang asked Xiaohe to go next door to teach the little females. About fifty little females came, and there were more little beastmen, about a hundred.
Under these circumstances, Huoqiu and Changning also stopped to learn characters. When Haitang taught everyone characters, the first lesson was numbers, which were just numbers from one to ten.
Under these circumstances, the children learned very well. Orcs are naturally smarter and can remember things quickly. After learning, Haitang started teaching math after just one lesson.
"Mathematics is about arithmetic. Many times, you have to do the math one by one. If there are addition and subtraction methods, your numerical calculations can be much faster," Haitang said, as she could recite the multiplication tables and addition and subtraction tables.
Of course, we're taking it one step at a time now, teaching addition and subtraction formulas. Under these circumstances, the children are still listening very attentively; at the very least, they are eager to accept new things.
After the class, Haitang left many of the little beastmen sitting still, but Huoqiu asked Haitang, "Um... could you give me a piece of the incantation?" as he looked at Haitang.
“Okay.” Haitang nodded and said, “If you want to understand, 1, 2, 3… it will be easy to learn later. There are also multiplication tables. I want to teach you the addition tables. After you are familiar with them, I will teach you the multiplication tables.” Haitang looked at Huoqiu and said.
Huo Qiu nodded, and Haitang handed him a carved wooden board. Huo Qiu took it and looked at it. Haitang hadn't taught him the addition formulas earlier; she had only briefly mentioned the basics.
In this situation, after class, they would go out to eat. The school could provide a meal. When Haitang went out to eat, many of the females on Xiaohe's side would obediently follow. The rooms were almost connected to prevent the children from getting cold when it snowed in winter.
Especially for females, the school is built in the middle of the tribe, so the tribe will know immediately if there is a problem. The chosen location is also very large, but the school is still in its early stages and has not been expanded too much.
"Teacher Xiaohe, you're amazing..." Many of the little females chirped and laughed as they spoke.
The little females wore almost identical clothes, just long skirts and short jackets, all made at home. They were given patterns and learned to wear them from Xiaohe.
The little females who can be sent to class are all pampered babies, so they can still wear school clothes. Their beautiful hair is tied up in their backs, and their fair faces are smiling.
She was a whole level above everyone else. The little beastmen not far away were secretly watching the little female opposite them, and they all wanted to go over and chat her up, but Huo Qiu slapped them away, saying, "See? If you cross the line, you'll get a beating."
"..." How unfair! He looked at the little girl across from him but couldn't greet her. Normally, he could greet her whenever he met her in the village. He became a little unhappy.
There were some familiar faces in the school, including Xiao Yao'er. Of course, Ping An was too young to come. Children still had a lot of playfulness when they went to school, and coupled with their fear of the adult beastmen, the little beastmen were all obedient.
After the first day of lessons, Haitang assigned the children some homework, asking them to write it on leaves when they got home. Of course, if they didn't hand in their homework when they returned, they would have to stand outside so that the little females could see it.
This was a very severe punishment, so when they returned, every little beastman studied like a slave. When they came to class the next day, it wasn't a lesson on writing.
