Chapter 347 Shala And Narita



"That will make the kids who can use magic even more arrogant, and the normal kids will think of themselves as useless."

"Like that, the gap between those who possess magical abilities and ordinary people would widen."

"We can't turn that distance to zero, we have to shorten it and help those two groups of people live together peacefully."

Shala and Lori heard that and realized Hikaru's true purpose.

Lori smiled and said, "So… master, what do you think we should do."

Hikaru nodded, then he spoke his mind: "I think your opinion and Shala's are very good. Although everyone's opinions are partly right and partly wrong, that doesn't mean that your opinions can't be used."

"I think it's a good idea to sum up your opinions."

"First of all, at the elementary level, everyone is the same. Whether that student knows magic or not they all have to go to school just like any other normal student. The use of magic is forbidden in the school, of course."

"In elementary school, students learn to read, and write the common language, and they may also learn the basics of this world."

"After completing high school, students will be divided into three groups."

"Group 1 are ordinary students, incapable of magic. They will be taught how to work or learn a certain profession."

"Group 2 are students who have the ability to learn about Rune knowledge and create Runes, this number will certainly be small but these students will play a very important role."

"Group 3 are students who are able to use magic. These students will be trained to become adventurers or Enchanters…etc. according to each person's talent."

"Of course, the program is for you adventurers to keep thinking about, this is just my opinion."

Shala and Lori were startled after hearing that, they felt that what Hikaru had just said was absolutely perfect.

Just as Hikaru said, even though his opinion didn't completely eliminate the gap between those who could use magic and ordinary people to zero, it still shortened the gap a lot.

Besides, even people who don't know magic or ordinary people can work and build territories.

No one is useless.

Everyone can work towards a better future.

"Master." Shala immediately spoke up, her eyes turned into two stars filled with light, as she looked at him: "Your opinion is absolutely amazing."

Lori nodded and said, "That's right. It is a perfect plan. Although the curriculum needs to be prepared to make the teaching go smoothly, we will try to work with it."

Hikaru smiled and said, "Don't worry. If you're short on time, tell me, I'll give you more time."

That's right, Hikaru possessed the Void Space skill, which no matter how long the job was, he could shorten it.

Shala and Lori knew what Hikaru meant, and they both nodded.

"Good!" Hikaru stood up: "In three weeks I will let the school start operating, hopefully by then you'll have everything ready."

"Ah! If you lack teaching tools then tell Darnag or Damian, they can help you."

"Besides, you also need to contact Norra's team to help you draft a set of laws specifically for education and school rules."

"Yes, master!" Lori and Shala said in unison.

Hikaru nodded as he was about to leave Shala spoke up again: "Master, can I talk to you for a moment?"

Hikaru heard that and he felt that something was wrong, could it be that Shala was following Mika, and she intended to do something with him?

Hikaru shook his head, he didn't think Shala would do the same. He said, "Okay, let's go out into the corridor, we'll talk as we walk."

Outside in the corridor, Shala walked about 2 steps behind Hikaru.

Hikaru felt a bit of a headache, he stopped, turned his head to look at Shala and said: "If you walk behind me like that, it's hard to talk."

Shala smiled: "Master, my status is low, it's not equal to you."

Hikaru sighed, "Haizz, okay, what's wrong?"

"That's right. Master, I also don't want to complain to you but my workload is a bit too much right now, could you…"

Shala didn't finish the sentence before she went silent, she felt a little embarrassed. In fact, Shala knew that Hikaru trusted her, that's why she assigned her so many tasks, however, because of too much work, she can't do everything well.

Hearing that, Hikaru also felt that he himself was a bit heartless. Yes, he gave Shala too much work. From watching over the people who appeared from the Race Gate to the management of the population.

Now he's letting her take over as principal and throwing her even more work, even a machine can't do that much.

Hikaru sighed, he said: "Haizz, okay, for the time being you can help me manage the population. The education issue is temporarily left to Lori, I will find more manpower to help you."

Shala heard that forced a smile: "Master, I'm not lazy, it's just… I'm afraid of too many things, I can't do all the tasks that you have assigned, I am afraid that I will disappoint you. "

Hikaru smiled and patted her head. Shala didn't dodge either, she even bowed her head so that he could more easily pat her.

"I understand, don't worry."

Hikaru patted Shala's head while using the [Maximum Evolution] skill on Shala.

Shala was also startled, she felt her body changing clearly. She became stronger and full of energy, and she even discovered that she had many other special abilities.

"This is my reward for your hard work. However, I also don't expect you to spend all your time and energy working."

"Take your time to live for yourself, don't work to death, understand?"

Hearing Hikaru's words, Shala smiled and nodded. She felt that her heart was filled with sweetness like the cakes Nekomaly had given her.

"Master, don't worry, I'll work even harder."

"Heh?! Do you understand what I'm saying?" Hikaru felt a headache when he heard that. Are there many people in this world who only live to work?

Shala smiled and did not answer.

Hikaru sighed now he felt a headache as he had to find personnel to help Shala.

He can evolve monster cards and summon them, however, he was not sure if the intelligence of the monsters he summoned was enough to do this job.

Even if they had the same intelligence as normal people, it was unlikely that they could take on the same job as Shala is doing.

"Ah! I can use Narita."

That's right, Narita doesn't have too many things to do right now. His main job is to assist Hikaru in solving minor problems surrounding the management of the territory.

Even if Narita takes on more work, it's fine because Narita is now a Skeleton, so he doesn't need sleep or rest.

Hikaru immediately called Narita to this place.

After Narita arrived, Hikaru explained to him about his new job as the principal of this school, and Narita  immediately sighed.

"Haizzz, I feel like you're trying to squeeze out my hard work, right?"

"Ack!" Hikaru was a bit startled, he forced a smile and said: "Hahaha.. Narita, don't say that. I trust you, that's why I let you do this task."

"Besides, you're the one who knows Runes the most, I think you could help Shala and Lori in drafting a textbook for elementary runes for students."

"What?!" Narita heard Hikaru's words and he quickly  shouted: "Are you crazy? Runes are secret knowledge, and only those in the royal family are allowed to know about it."

"Do you know how important Runes are? If other people learn of the existence of Runes, or worse, they learn the knowledge of Runes it would be extremely dangerous."

"Hikaru, you should think again. This is extremely risky, and besides, commoners can't learn Runes, their abilities aren't enough to help them learn and create Runes."

Narita talked a lot but Hikaru pretended not to hear anything. Hikaru smiled and said, "Um! I know, so… I'll ask you to prepare a beginner's course on Runes."

"Wait! I…" Before Narita could say anything, Hikaru disappeared, and in the end, Narita could only sigh.

"Hahaha… Narita, don't worry. I will help you."

Hearing Shala's words, Narita felt even more tired. He didn't think that one day he would have to prepare Rune training for commoners rather than nobles or priests.

"Hm… it seems you still don't like commoners and mixed-bloods, do you?"

Narita heard Shala's words and shook his head: "No, my thinking has changed. It's just that the knowledge of Runes is so important and dangerous."

"You also studied Runes and know how wonderful it is, right?"

"Runes can help us with many things, but if Runes fall into the hands of commoners, with their hatred of nobles, they will do terrible things."

Shala was confused, she tilted her head and asked: "Hm… I don't know what you mean. However, if you're afraid that commoners who learn Runes will be dangerous to nobles, then that means Nobles are afraid that commoners can use the knowledge they've learned better than Nobles, right?"

"Hm?! What the hell are you talking about?" Narita was startled, he quickly explained: "Nobility is not afraid of commoners. No matter how much knowledge a commoner holds, he won't be able to use it like a Noble."

"Heh… So, what are you afraid of?"

"?!!" Hearing Shala's words, Narita suddenly realized a huge question.

Yes, what was he afraid of?

If Nobles were confident that they were better than commoners then even if commoners learned the knowledge of nobles, they wouldn't be able to compete with nobles.

So… what was he worried about?

Was he afraid that the nobles would lose to the commoners?

The answer in Narita's heart right now was "no".

Then he didn't need to worry, as he just had to do as Hikaru said.
