Chapter 266: The Bustling Professional Academy
Watching Yaya frowning while doing her homework, Leanna sat beside her, supervising seriously, with an unconscious smile softening her usually frosty expression.
She ignored Yaya's attempts to charm her, maintaining a stance of "No more snacks until you finish your homework."
The little girl propped her head on her hand, her eyes darting around as ideas popped into her mind, only to be interrupted by Leanna.
Matthew gave Leanna a thumbs-up, feeling that entrusting Yaya to her was definitely the right decision.
"Huh? What are they doing over there…"
Guoguo's words were cut off as Elona quickly covered her mouth, not daring to upset Yaya.
As a Druid with outstanding perception abilities, she could clearly feel the pressure Yaya exerted on her, no longer just causing her to shiver.
Yet, it was precisely because of this that Elona felt fear, realizing that Yaya had grown beyond her perception capabilities!
The fear of Yaya was something instinctive, emanating from deep within…
"Let's go; I'll take you to see the Druid Greenhouse."
Matthew's gentle voice snapped Elona back to reality, and she silently followed behind him.
Bay City.
Professional Academy.
A cacophony of noises filled the air.
On the spacious training ground, everyone was exercising diligently under the guidance of their instructors.
No matter the type of professional, having a healthy body lays a solid foundation.
Matthew did not want them to become professionals too quickly.
Knowledge and mindset would be their main focus for the next few years.
They might not all become talents, but they must not become hazards!
The future was already difficult enough; Matthew did not want to add more challenges.
"Hehe, currently, the academy is divided into seven grades."
"Besides the preschool class for those under six and the professional class for those over fifteen, the ages six to fifteen are divided into seven classes."
"Apart from physical training and learning professional knowledge suited to their talents."
"They also study subjects you set, like literature, mathematics, history, biology, physics, common language, and ancient dragon language…"
"Every month, the academy conducts an assessment to ensure each student shows progress compared to the previous month."
"In addition to cultural courses, moral and ideological education is the most significant subject, ensuring they grow up healthy."
Arnold looked at the students training in the distance, his face breaking into a bright smile as he continued:
"Students have breakfast and lunch at the academy, with the option to choose dinner."
"Currently, even the children of temporary residents receive the same education, with rotating teachers…"
"Every child studies diligently, and I don't allow them not to work hard…"
Arnold's tone was full of confidence, and his wrinkled face radiated energy.
He was passionate about teaching these children.
After seeing the cultivation plan set by the Lord.
Arnold had decided to dedicate the rest of his life to this great cause.
Every child would be treated equally, maximizing each individual's potential.
Not even mythical tales spoke of such a legend!
"As long as Bay Territory develops, no, Bay Territory will definitely develop!"
"An academy that continuously nurtures professionals will be remembered for centuries, and as the first headmaster, hehe…"
This was why Arnold could be described as an old fox, wise and seasoned.
After introducing all the student situations, Arnold continued to complain to Matthew:
"Currently, the academy has 12,542 students, but only 334 teachers, which isn't nearly enough!"
"I know, I know, every teacher carries great responsibility."
"Each one of them has to go through multiple selections and tests, but I wanted to ask if we could recruit some from elsewhere…"
"I happen to know a few. They may be a bit old, but they're far from outdated!"
"Good! Thank you, Lord. I'll have people contact them right away!"
"Take care on your way…"
"Hehehe…"
Arnold, having achieved his goal, cheerfully turned and left, running toward the Lord's Mansion as fast as he could.
Butler Ralph was still over there…
Watching the Lord's smiling face, Elona couldn't help but recall the previous scene, feeling a strange sense of excitement, her mind filled with what she considered unrealistic fantasies:
"Can everyone really receive the same education?"
"What about us? Can we half-elves enjoy that too?"
Temporarily setting aside her excitement, Elona watched the joyous children, overwhelmed by a surge of indescribable emotions.
Matthew gazed at the bustling Professional Academy, recalling his experiences from the old world and past development paths, further solidifying his resolve:
"Cultivate every individual to the fullest, ensuring no genius slips through the cracks!"
Yes, doing this would inevitably come at a high cost, requiring vast resource investment.
However, for Bay Territory, investing in the children who represent the future is worth it.
The Professional Academy would only get busier in the future.
Crossing the obstructive construction walls, Elona saw a familiar and heartwarming scene.
Large golems were tirelessly working and laboring.
They were no longer just bodyguards or battle tools for most human lords but were now fulfilling a different mission.
What intrigued Elona even more were the kobolds scurrying around the construction site.
Their somewhat scrawny bodies were constantly engaged in various tasks.
Seeing the second academy zone beginning to take shape, Elona felt an immense thrill.
"Maybe, one day, they can also…"
Waving to Elona, Matthew approached the entrance to the underground area.
Elona recalled the former underground space, feeling a touch of anticipation.
What would the Druid Greenhouse, coveted by many Druids, be like?
Would it truly belong to her?
What tasks would the Lord assign?
These thoughts kept swirling in Elona's mind, filling her with mixed emotions and eager anticipation…
"Over here, you idiots…"
"Ahem, I promised the Lord I wouldn't call you that!"
"Hurry up, watch out for those things!"
"Don't be clumsy…"
The chattering voice painted a vivid, talkative image in Elona's mind.
She couldn't help but look over, catching sight of a tall, slender dragonborn kobold, cracking a whip while commanding a large group of kobolds.
In front of him, a magical scene unfolded before her eyes!
