Chapter 73 Burning Through Daycares!

"Yep, the Magic Academy!"

Jack uttered as if it wasn't a big deal!

"Aren't you a little too young for that?! How the hell do you expect the Academy to accept you?! Do you think they'll just go: oh, a baby? Sure, we'll take him!" Aisha blurted.

There was so much wrong with this! What kind of plan was this?! Not only would it screw the school's reputation… but it was downright preposterous!

"Is that so? Are you 100% sure?"

"100%? I'm 200%, 300%, a thousand percent sure!"

She wasn't done either. She kept saying higher percent numbers as if it mattered. But a second later, her maw hung loose, her eyes about to burst.

Jack had activated his Evil God's Body.

"What about now? Think they'd let me attend?"

"Y-you… you?! How did you do that?! No… wait, that's your plan?! You'll attend with this body?! But how are you going to fool the Flame Lord?! She won't—"

"Easy, you'll be attending the Academy! I'll simply tag along. She trusts you enough for that. Besides, it's the best place to start FoxZone. The students will happily try our services!"

The older one was, the more rigid their thinking. A fox-based delivery service would undoubtedly succeed with younger customers, if only because of their cuteness!

The more he spoke, the more it made sense. Aisha even found herself nodding along, envisioning the whole thing. "Y-you, how long have you been scheming this?!"

"For a very long time…." Jack took a mysterious pose, hands behind his back as if contemplating the universe. "… at least five minutes!"

This was a long time?! If that was, what should she think of the countless nights she had remained awake, agonizing over improving her mercantile skills?!

"Sigh…"

"Pfft— Kid, that's one daring plan! Still, I don't see why the Flame Lord would just let you go! As far as she's concerned, the daycare option makes way more sense, doesn't it?"

"Hehe, of course! We'll just have to give her the idea… and make her believe she's the one that thought of it in the first place. Even if she's strong, she's still human! Leave it to me!"

Jack assured his ghost Mentor.

The latter quickly gave up convincing him otherwise. One had to admit that he was actually looking forward to his disciple's antics. How would he do it?!

It didn't take long for everything to begin.

Aisha returned home with one and one directive only. She'd have to apply to the Magical Academy, and fast! Luckily, this should be easy for the Hendersons.

As for him, he waited with the foxes, the Flame Lord quickly coming back to bring him away. In the few hours she had left, she had somehow found him a daycare.

As they arrived at the "Happy Gold-bear", Jack almost felt like vomiting.

Kids, kids, everywhere! The little buggers went wild, grabbing any toys they could get their hands on and putting them into their mouths! Then some were downright eating boogers!

While he didn't have anything against them… there was no way he could blend in and remain sane! No fucking way! Luckily, he wouldn't be here long…

"Welcome, welcome, is this little Jack! Why don't you come in? We'll take great care of him. You can be sure of it!" The workers ushered him in with warm but stressed smiles.

They didn't dare to neglect him, knowing the hell that would await them if they did. Thus, they gave him special attention, which only made everything he did more noticeable!

Jack had been resolved to get kicked out ASAP!

He inwardly apologized to the kids, but he was a man on a mission!

Playtime? He acted like a little tyrant, quickly establishing the pecking order. In the first five minutes, he had already monopolized all the daycare toys.

Any kid feeling peeved about the whole thing? A single look at them was enough to make them reconsider! As for the adults… the same thing actually worked!

Lunchtime? He had the other kids lining up before him to offer their deserts up as offerings. The workers wanted to intervene… but they, too, had their deserts stolen!

Nap time? Jack didn't care at all for it. With his current body's specs, he could go for a few days without sleep! He even forced the poor workers to sing his favorite lullaby.

By now, their only hope was the outdoor play time— except it was worse! Somehow, Jack had all the other kids erect him a mud fort as he played the emperor!

Hence once the Flame Lord came back…

"W-We're sorry, we're not competent enough to care for him! He's too much of a g-genius. We'll give you a full refund, so—" they begged in tears.

Thus the next day, Jack was shipped to a new daycare, where he once again repeated the same— or similar process. He'd quickly enslave the clueless kids, traumatizing the workers.

Thus he went through daycares faster than days in a week!

Happy Feet Daycare —> Kicked out!

Gentle Sunny Rays Daycare —> Kicked out!

Azkaban's Daycare for Problematic Children —> Still admitted… how?!

The latter was such a shitty daycare that they didn't even raise a brow when he started ordering other kids around. They even laughed about it.

Heck, they didn't even mind as he established a "pirate crew" and had his new minions rob the restaurant next door. They were totally unhinged and unapologetic!

Luckily, or unluckily, the whole place just happened to burn down by a magical fire that might or might not have started because of a Fiery Fox.

Either way, the Flame Lord was soon out of options.

It reached a point where she almost turned toward the other Dawn Lords to ask for parenting advice. But just as she despaired, she remembered a certain young girl.

Aisha had just been preparing her suitcases when the Flame Lord invaded the Henderson's Mansion! "You, you're great with kids! I need you to attend daycare with Jack!"

"T-that… I applied to the Magic Academy and—"

"That works too! I'll send Jack with you!"

At this moment, Aisha felt like the world had turned upside down. What the heck was wrong with the Flame Lord? Why did she seem like she was handing her a time bomb?

She could only sigh as she kept preparing…
