Chapter 1892: Why Don’t We Build A New School?
In the kitchen, Mag’s eyelids twitched when he saw Irina and Luna come in together, smiling and chatting.
However, he was relieved when he saw that Luna was smiling without any embarrassment.
Seems like I have judged a noble person unfairly with my own despicable mind.?Mag scolded himself inwardly, and calmed himself down. A stable harem could indeed calm a man’s heart.
The guests had all arrived, and all the children came downstairs. Everyone made a toast to celebrate Amy winning the Magic Caster Tournament, and the dinner began in a happy atmosphere.
Amy’s accomplishment was so astounding that it actually didn’t cause any stress to the other children. After all, it was too surreal to compare with her, so it lost the impact of education instead.
Meanwhile, Amy didn’t care about this supposedly incomparable accomplishment in others’ eyes at all. She didn’t change the way she interacted with her friends.
The scrumptious food made the gathering’s atmosphere cheerful and enjoyable. The children were also busy eating.
Jessica pointed at the champion trophy on the shelf behind the counter, and asked, “Amy, did you win that golden trophy?”
“Yes. I bit it. It’s really made of gold.” Amy nodded her little head and smiled, revealing her neat teeth.
“Wow…”
All the children’s eyes glowed. Although they didn’t know how precious this trophy was, since it was made of gold, it could be exchanged for many good foods.
“I heard that Little Boss is the youngest magic caster in the history of the Magic Caster Tournament. She’s even better than Princess Irina back then. She has really done our Chaos City proud,” Gjerj said with admiration.
Miranda pinched his thigh under the table, and gave him a look.
Gjerj, who was puzzled over why he was pinched, suddenly realized he had said the wrong thing when he saw Irina sitting across from him with an unfathomable smile. He instantly had an embarrassed expression.
“Yes. Little Amy is indeed very formidable. She’s much more formidable than I was back then.” Irina smiled and nodded. She wasn’t angry at all, as it was her daughter who was being praised.
“Erm… Princess, I don’t mean that…” Gjerj rubbed his belly embarrassedly. This was the elven princess after all. He wouldn’t dare to say she wasn’t good enough no matter how tough he was. Fortunately, she didn’t mind, so he heaved a breath of relief.
“Teacher Luna, I heard that you are setting up a foundation recently, right?” Irina asked Luna, who was sitting next to her, gently.
Luna nodded, and replied, “Yes. The foundation is mainly to support the children to go to school, and assist them with their daily lives.”
Irina smilingly said, “That’s great. I want to contribute a little to it. May I donate 10,000,000 copper coins to the foundation?”
“Thank you so much if Miss Irina wants to contribute your love to the children.” Luna quickly got up and bowed to Irina.
Irina got up to help Luna up, and sincerely said, “You’re being too polite. This is just a small token. You are the one who is working hard for the children.”
“I’m just doing whatever I can. There are still many things that I didn’t do well enough,” Luna replied embarrassedly.
Amy looked up, and said to Luna seriously, “How can that be? Teacher Luna is the kindest teacher in the world. Super fantastic teacher.”
“Yes. Teacher Luna is the best.” Jessica nodded too.
“You little ones.” Luna looked at the two children, and smiled naturally.
The two little ones had wandered on the streets before, but now they both had a happy and blissful life. That comforted her.
Mag picked up the wine glass to take a small sip of the red wine as he looked at Irina with admiration.
This woman was just like a rich red wine. The more he savored her, the more exquisite he found her to be. He was lost in her helplessly.
After they almost finished the dishes, the children went back to play, and the adults continued to chitchat.
Luna went to sit next to Mag, who was making tea, and smilingly asked, “Mr. Mag, I have something to talk to you about. Are you free to talk to me now?”
“Please give me a moment, Teacher Luna. Let me serve them the tea, and we can talk slowly.” Mag served the tea to the chatting adults before returning with the tray, and making two more cups of tea. He gestured to Luna to sit by the table at the side. “What can I help you with?”
“It’s regarding the foundation. The new teaching building in the Chaos School is complete, and the facilities inside were almost all set up. We can enroll another 500 children in the next term, and have already started to recruit more teachers.
“Currently, we have already come up with a list of 3000-odd children of school-going age who needed help, and provided them with assistance in their daily needs. However, there are still many children who cannot go to school on time. I would like to listen to your opinion.” Luna looked at Mag with a worried expression.
Mag also frowned when he heard that. The foundation had received plenty of donations, but it was restricted by the Chaos School’s teaching ability.
It wasn’t that the Chaos School wasn’t doing anything. Chaos School was a comprehensive school, and had students from all the various races. The teaching contents ranged from basic languages and words to combat techniques that were suited for all the various races. It covered many subjects, and had a higher requirement for the teachers. It had already tried its best to enrol 500 more people in such a short time.
However, this meant that over 2000 children couldn’t go to school. Time and tide waited for no man. Perhaps by the next year, some of these children would reach the age where they would have to work to support themselves. They would have missed the chance for the rest of their lives.
After pondering for a while, Mag said to Luna, “Why don’t we build a new school?”
“A new school?” Luna looked at Mag with surprise.
“Yes. Since the Chaos School cannot expand and recruit on a big scale within a short period of time, why don’t we use the foundation’s money to build a new school so that those children can go to school on time.” Mag nodded before continuing, “This new school will be different from the Chaos School. We will only teach the basic cultural courses, which are mathematics, common tongue, words, and basic common knowledge, but we won’t teach courses like combat and magic.”
“I see…” Luna pursed her lips as she pondered about the feasibility of Mag’s suggestion.
Mag waited for a moment before continuing, “I think for these children, magic and combat are matters that are very far away from their lives. Their current objective is to survive. If we can teach them practical knowledge that could enable them to step out from their current social class, we might create some beautiful changes to their future.”
Luna’s eyes gradually lit up. She looked at Mag, and nodded. “I agree with you. Even for the students of the Chaos School, the majority of them can’t grasp the high-level magic and combat techniques. Basic knowledge is their greatest gain. It will be a good thing for them if we can let those children learn basic knowledge too.”
