"Wow!"
With thinking eyes, the Duo and many others gasped in appreciation, looking at the stunning through the bus window.
Vrmmmmm~~
The many school buses drive into a Grand property that took up a vast amount of space as though it were an estate.
[Nature's Research & Observatory]
That was the name of the place they had just driven into.
It was stunning and had a very open landscape, designed to make one feel as though they were within some luxurious botanical garden of some sort.
Catchah!
The bus drivers opened the bus doors, allowing the stream of pupils to leap out excitedly.
And standing in wait before the buses, we're a few staff and guards, who were here to welcome and take them in.
A tall lady in a white lab coat, a blue gown and a pair of medical glasses on her face, calmly stepped forward with a warm smile.
"Welcome, pupils, to Nature's Research & Observatory. I'm miss Dinna, one of your guides on today's fun adventure in the wonderful world here. And beside me are a few members of my team, who will be joining us in our little adventure journey."
Everyone smiled molar to molar, looking at the team of people joining them from here on out.
The beautiful Miss Dinna chuckled while looking at everyone's enthusiastic expressions: "Alright. Before we start, we'll be giving you all badges, which will be your passes on sight. And, each and every one of you will also wear lab coats and gloves too... Now, it's time to suit up for the journey!"
"Yeah!!!~"
Clovis was just too excited. Oh boy. They were going hard on the field trip today!
(^0^)
.
Everyone giggled at the class clown's loud exclamations.
And before they knew it, they were taken towards a room and suited up just as expected.
Nevis kept his trustee jotter and pen in his pocket, ready to write down all he saw today.
After all, there was no free lunch in this world. Just because it's free to you doesn't mean that another person didn't have to pay for it.
This supposedly fun Field trip was good and all. But they still had to write an essay on this matter, which was due 2 weeks from today's date.
So yes. They were having their 'fun now to labour for it another day.
Of course, this entire thing was supposed to be educational. So the majority of them would honestly study, remember and take into heart whatever they learnt here.
Unlike modern times, the people in this era relied on knowledge to survive.
So if one faintly heard that the weakness of a Bat-spider was its eyes, then you best believe they would keep that information just in case they had to fight it one day.
They also knew how to mix common herbs to treat stab wounds and other injuries.
This, to them, was common knowledge that even a 5-year-old child was supposed to know. It was all just like breathing.
Their brains and mindset have been conditioned to absorb knowledge without forgetting for a long time... be it forcefully.
They didn't study to cram things for an exam, but did so to truly understand and master the key to survival.
So you best believe that whatever they learnt here today, many of their essays would be very detailed, giving their own take on several topics.
.
Again, this is why Landon valued the minds of people in this era.
And that's why times like Research Mania, and other opportunities, allowed various companies and establishments to collect submissions from countless people who had ideas and suggestions.
Do you know that a year ago, the batch that visited this same Institution had a pupil of 10 who suggested something so simple yet very practical that improved their results by 7%?
Their ideas were valued.
And during matters such as these, their essays would also get passed onto the various institutions they had a field trip with. Sometimes, what they write allowed the staff to realize if there was a problem with management, security or anything else that needed improvement.
And just like the ancients of those times who wrote very diligently, as though writing a work of art, many of these students took their calligraphy and writing style very seriously.
After all, in many places in this world, becoming an official scholar working for their empire meant that one's calligraphy and writing skills should be impressive.
The literate focused on perfecting this art as the years went by.
Crooked writing was not allowed.
Thus, even with pens and pencils, they began practicing how to make it magnificent.
Paintbrushes weren't the same as pens or pencils. So understanding pressure application was a must.
One could tell a person's character from the way they wrote.
So unlike modern people, these pupils, though highly young, were quick thinkers that would put many 20 or 30-something-year-old people on earth to shame.
.
Now, everyone was suited up with their visitor passes around their necks, which had their names and school's name on it if they got lost.
Already, the many children were quick to stand close to their friends, forming little cliques and talking to one another merrily.
Soon enough, Miss Dinna clapped her hands, calling everyone's attention: "Alright... Is everyone ready?"
"Yes!~"
"Are you all sure? Is everyone truly ready to enter nature's wonderful world?"
"Yes, miss Dinna~" The pupils all exclaimed excitedly while holding their jotters and pencils, ready for action.
"Then, in that case, what are we waiting for? Onwards we go!"
"Yeah!~"
(^w^)
Like so, the Nevis and the rest barged out of the room, following behind Dinna, while a few other staff and teachers carefully moved around them, ensuring that no one got left behind or ran into another direction from the side.
The gang of children moved on with firm yet childish expressions on their faces, taking in all they could.
Well, it was time to see what this Nature's Research & Observatory was about.
