Starting with the defeated female knight

Such a grand stage for pranks—anyone who can resist getting involved after realizing it is a true genius.

As for what to do with those spirits?

After confirming that it really was just a reconnaissance team, and that they behaved themselves afterwards.

Green simply started raising them like living figurines.

And they didn't seem to have any objections; in fact, they seemed to be enjoying it.

In short, the little episode involving the elves has come to a temporary end.

the other side.

Although during this period, Green devoted a lot of attention to raising his children and causing trouble in the capital.

But Dawn City, of course, did not stop at the same time.

The cathedral continued to operate as usual, and in addition to Edith's Faith and Miracles class, Morphia's Pharmacology and Orc Miscellaneous Studies class, and Tania's Warrior and Physical Fitness class, a Mathematics and Magic Reaction class, recently brought in by Uri, was added.

"Mathematics and magical reflexes are compulsory courses for every mage."

"As for the reason?"

"In short, the essence of so-called 'magic' is that magicians use their own minds, through their understanding of the world and their own calculations, to trigger a chain of magical reactions and ultimately achieve the results they want."

To put it more simply, in this world where cognition has power, magicians can use their trained minds to draw upon the omnipresent 'magic power' and trigger something similar to a chemical reaction.

But just like faith, no matter how much one's spirit is trained, it's hard to say how strong it can become.

Unlike the church and priests, magicians did not think about unity or how to store water. Instead, they used their knowledge and calculations to first use small dewdrops to induce a small magical reaction, and then use this small magical reaction to induce a larger magical reaction.

And so on, like dominoes, layer upon layer, until finally a huge boulder, far larger than a dewdrop, is topped down.

That is, the 'magic' that is ultimately formed.

This is why magicians must be intelligent.

only......

"Let me teach students? No way—"

Uli emitted a sharp, explosive sound.

"Please, I'll do anything, even hang me up and whip me every day, as long as it's not teaching students, I'll let you train for eight hours a day, or even become a soldier."

Uri initially refused Green's invitation.

He even showed an expression of greater fear than if he were facing a billion murderers.

The reason is simple: although she herself has never taught students, as the vice president, she has seen how other magicians teach.

Especially when teaching students with little magical foundation, the pain, the helplessness, the frantic state of mind—even just watching from the sidelines—was unforgettable for her. She even felt that the academic cliques within the association weren't so inhuman after all.

After all, although there were many restrictions, not to mention the research before the truth of the large family was exposed, even afterward, in order to make the slaves do more work, they would at least teach the slaves things, and they would also have to go through that pain.

Therefore, Uli's attitude towards teaching students, especially young students with zero foundation, cannot be described as resistance, but rather as a deep psychological shadow, to the point that she would rather exercise for eight hours a day.

I've been working on something interesting lately that could be used in your 'megastructure' concept.

[If you agree, that thing can be supplied to you first, and depending on the situation and results, I can provide more support for your mega-project.]

"...But then again..."

In short, Uri ultimately couldn't resist Green's temptation and was pulled into becoming a teacher at the cathedral.

Then, after she actually started teaching, she suddenly realized that the children in front of her were not as difficult to teach as she had imagined.

He even outperformed most mages.

[A standardized, systematic basic education, kid!]

Yes, basic education.

Although Green definitely can't handle anything too advanced, let alone university level, he'd be in trouble even teaching high school level knowledge.

The problem is that the basic education in this world is really terrible. Let alone high school, even if you make up for the lack of knowledge in elementary school, you would be considered a top student among ordinary people.

As for school?

Although, aside from nobles who had private tutors within their families, the association and the church also had corresponding classes, the quality...

It’s just hard to describe.

The church, needless to say, is a place for cultivating faith. Its main teaching content is basically telling various miracle stories over and over again, followed by reading comprehension exercises.

Moreover, because rational thinking can hinder the resonance between faith and miracles, the church deliberately ignores or even obstructs this aspect of education.

The final result will naturally not be good.

The problem is that even this kind of church education is better than that of the association.

When Green first heard the news, he thought Uri had made a mistake or was being sarcastic.

After all, mages are a group of seekers of knowledge, and those who choose to become mages are generally intelligent. How could their educational effect be worse than that of the church?

But that's the truth, and it can be summed up in a single word.

Selfish.

As intelligent people, no one understands the value of knowledge better than magicians. At the same time, they also know better how to omit details, and can miss all the key points when things seem similar on the surface.

Moreover, if other magicians could learn real knowledge in school, who would join other factions, and who would spend money to buy their knowledge?

Therefore, even compared to church schools, whose main job is to cultivate faith and whose secondary job is to teach various knowledge and skills, this is still a problem.

Associations and schools that clearly have higher levels of knowledge, more talent, and a wider range of skills are actually worse.

Moreover, unlike these two types of schools, a systematic basic education can cultivate something different from fragmented education.

That is a more rational way of thinking and the ability to reason logically.

For adults who have already matured, this is something that even Green finds difficult to change or cultivate.

But for children who are still developing and whose thoughts and wills are not yet formed, even if they have received the wrong education before.

However, as long as they are nurtured in a specific way in the future, they can be easily brought back and nurtured.

This is why Green values ​​children.

As for Wuli, it was a resounding success: "Wuhu, take off! I've never had such a wonderful start!"

I never imagined that teaching students could be such a comfortable thing.

After all, these children not only received foundational training from Green, but were also top talents selected from among the best in Dawn City through several rounds of screening.

The teaching environment was already quite comfortable, and with the assistant nuns recruited earlier for the cognitive experiments, even miscellaneous tasks were handled by others.

As for teaching, considering that many tentacles secrete mucus during various tentacle experiments, it can easily make things messy for both teachers and students.

In addition to the various new fabrics and products in the tailoring area, for safety and efficiency reasons, Greene decided to get them some experimental equipment.

Originally, he planned to make something similar to rubber gloves.

However, due to both material limitations and the fact that the design was unattractive and disliked by children, it was ultimately rejected.

After further research and discussion, they came up with an even better solution.

Silk gloves and thigh-high stockings.

"Lightweight and breathable, even through gloves, you can clearly feel the texture and condition of your hands."

"The material has undergone a magical reaction and sanctification treatment, making it tough, highly corrosion-resistant, resistant to abnormal conditions, and non-sticky, so it can be rinsed off with water."

"The stockings are to prevent sticky liquid from the ground, and it's not just for experiments; sometimes the marks you leave when you crawl around can also be sticky."

"The design was decided upon through discussion among everyone, and we also made some improvements to the original nun's habit."

"The nun's habit you designed is indeed comfortable and fits well, but it is not really suitable for various experiments, especially the nuns' 'cognitive' experiments."

"To be more specific, it means the fork has been raised, there are more small nodes to facilitate partial detachment, and some hidden little openings specifically designed for easy access..."

"Although the amount of work has increased, the overall cost has decreased due to the reduction in fabric, and there is nothing wrong with the appearance."

"...provided that you don't touch those small nodes."

Each one sounds like a very proper and reasonable change.

But for some reason, after all the changes were completed, looking at the rows of white silk hands and feet, Green had the illusion of entering a cold storage.

No matter which direction you look, it seems to be all rows and rows of ice cream.

During the tentacles experiment, they were even rubbed with ice cream sprinkled with milk, creating a very subtle tactile sensation.

It's just weird.

But it's quite comfortable.

The newly improved nun's habit, in particular, although it sounds a bit terrible, is actually very convenient for all kinds of experiments.

But I don't know why, even though after the improvement, with more removable nodes, the original peeling and exposure are no longer needed during the experiment.

But the feeling is more subtle.

In addition, given that a very few students in the first batch had exceptionally outstanding academic performance, such as Eve,

In addition, Dawn City is currently lacking in teaching staff. Although she is only a child who has been studying for half a year and has to attend classes, Green still had the idea of ​​asking her to help as a teacher—even if it's just as an assistant teacher?

Moreover, there are precedents for someone who is both a teacher and a student. Although Edith plays the role of a teacher in the Course in Faith and Miracles, she also has to learn at other times, especially in the Tentacles class.

However, when Green told Eve the news and asked for her opinion...

Eve was about to nod, but halfway through, she suddenly realized something.

"If I were like Miss Edith..."

"Then, can I apply for a course separately?"

【what? 】

The tentacle paused for a moment, then looked Eve up and down.

[That's possible, but didn't you learn all your courses from them?]

If you want to offer a standalone course, it should at least be differentiated from the existing courses. You...

"I know."

Eve nodded.

"I really don't know anything beyond what the teachers taught me, and I have no knowledge that I can show off."

"But after studying for this period of time, I feel that a very important aspect has been overlooked. Although I am not very clear about it or good at it now, I want to give it a try."

[Is this a very important aspect?]

The tentacles bent slightly, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"That's your feeling, and the feedback we're giving you."

Eve said earnestly.

“We have always been grateful to you, but we have rarely been able to give back.”

“I know you may think that the current situation is enough, but I'm afraid that, both inside and outside the church, we cannot agree with your perception.”

"Moreover, you rarely pay attention to yourself. I can sense that during the tentacle class, you made us do all sorts of tests on the tentacles, and even when you dissected them, you felt uncomfortable or even in pain."

“I think this is wrong and needs to be corrected.”

"Although I don't know exactly what to do right now, that's why I wanted to create a course so that everyone can work together to find out how to give back to and take care of you."

She lowered her head slightly and gently kneaded the tentacles in front of her with her small hands clad in white silk.

The force and speed were just right, causing the tentacles to wriggle involuntarily.

Seeing this, Eve gave a genuine smile.

She really liked this feeling, especially seeing the Tentacle Master happy, which made her feel very comfortable.

and so.

"As for the course title, I plan to tentatively name it 'Serving and Bearing Grace'."
