Chaos Academy is an educational institution under the Gray Temple, divided into Green Sprout Garden and Vast Ocean Garden based on students' age and learning stage.
Children aged five to twelve attend Green Sprout Garden, where they receive introductory education, learning the common language of the continent and basic knowledge such as arithmetic and general knowledge.
Simultaneously, special abilities are developed, such as magical abilities, sensory abilities, calculation abilities, etc. Once they reach a certain level and meet the requirements of Vast Ocean Garden, they automatically advance to Vast Ocean Garden for further study, where they are taught by dedicated teachers.
Students who fail the assessment by age twelve will be expelled from Chaos Academy, losing their chance to continue their studies. The ratio is approximately five to one.
A large proportion of students graduating from Vast Ocean Garden are absorbed into the Gray Temple, becoming its fresh blood and maintaining the high quality and loyalty of its members.
Mai Ge wasn't opposed to this complete supply chain, because whether or not to ultimately work for the Gray Temple was a choice each graduate could freely make.
Moreover, the Gray Temple didn't accept every graduate, they needed to pass an assessment, which reminded him of the civil service system in his previous life.
Furthermore, the most remarkable achievement of Chaos Academy was its pioneering large scale dissemination of knowledge within Chaos City.
After the multicultural integration of the entire Nolan Continent, the languages of humans and elves merged, becoming a generally accepted common language.
However, learning this language and script was no easy feat for other races. Even Ha Ga, the son of a tribal chief, could only barely communicate using the common language.
The Green Sprout Garden of Chaos Academy enrolled over 1,000 students annually, with tuition costing only five gold coins per year. Compared to private schools that often charged fifty gold coins, this was practically free education.
Moreover, students at Chaos Academy were not grouped by race. Your classmates might be a demon and an elf, with a dwarf sitting in front of you and a troll behind you—a unique experience in Chaos City.
The harmonious atmosphere that Chaos City has achieved over the past century is largely thanks to the Gray Temple and its subordinate Chaos Academy. After all, two people of different races walking down the street might be classmates, usually from the same school, so everyone recognizes each other, greatly diminishing racial animosity.
Furthermore, the residents of Chaos City have a much higher average level of education than other parts of the continent, which is another important reason.
Mai Ge, with Amy, stood outside the vast gates of Chaos Academy. It was currently class time, and the old gatekeeper and the tall orc had explicitly refused their request to enter, telling them to contact Teacher Luna after school to be allowed entry.
"Looks like we're early." Mai Ge said, glancing at the large clock at the entrance. It was 10:30, the third period hadn't ended yet, and school wouldn't finish until around 11:30.
"Daddy, we can sneak in." Amy said softly, glancing at the stern-faced orc and tugging at Mai Ge 's sleeve.
"Sneak in?" Mai Ge looked at Amy with some surprise.
"Yes, there's a place over there where we can sneak in. They wouldn't let me in before, so I always sneaked in." Amy nodded.
Ten minutes later, Mai Ge looked back at the gap hidden by two thick branches and couldn't help but smile, patting Amy's head. The little one was quite clever.
"I know which classroom Teacher Luna is in, Daddy. Let's sneak over and take a look." Amy said, grabbing one of Mai Ge's fingers and expertly heading to the left.
Mai Ge could tell that Amy genuinely wanted to see Miss Luna, so he went along with her. After all, she often watched from outside the classroom before.
The classrooms in Chaos Academy were two-story buildings constructed of a mix of stone and wood. The four walls were made of square, black stones, while the roof and second-floor floor were wooden. Windows on two sides ensured adequate lighting inside the classrooms.
The sound of students reading aloud drifted from the school buildings, all painted a bright and refreshing sky blue and grass green. Many walls were adorned with whimsical drawings, likely by students, reflecting various ethnic styles that blended harmoniously together.
"The person who founded the Gray Temple must have been a visionary sage." Mai Ge thought, looking at the drawings, seemingly seeing the future that person had envisioned.
If this idea could spread outwards from Chaos City, truly uniting the entire continent, then the racial war of a century ago would likely never happen again.
"This idea coincides with my own. If all the races on the continent were to merge, the number of half-races would inevitably increase. When they become an important part of the continent, discrimination against them would naturally disappear." Mai Ge seemed thoughtful, a smile gradually spreading across his face. "Perhaps in my lifetime, I can witness the arrival of a great era. If I could contribute to its development, that would be a good thing."
"Daddy, what are you laughing at?" Amy looked at Mai Ge, a little puzzled. After thinking for a moment, she added, "I know, you're excited to see Teacher Luna, aren't you?"
"Perhaps, may be." Perhaps it was the sound of those students reading aloud that made Mai Ge feel much better.
This atmosphere was truly delightful. Next year, when Amy reached school age, she should attend school. It would be much better than her staying home with him everyday. With Amy's fireball spell, he wasn't worried about anyone bullying her at school.
"Me too! I'm so happy!" Amy nodded, but quickly put a finger to her lips and pointed to the nearby school building. "Teacher Luna teaches in this classroom. Let's sneak over without making a sound."
Mai Ge nodded silently, following Amy quietly to the window.
Two black square stones were stacked under the windowsill. Amy hesitated for a moment, then slowly stepped onto them, reaching just the right height.
"Looks like these stones were specially prepared for Amy." Mai Ge looked at the two stones with some surprise. There weren't any under other windowsills, and the height was perfect for Amy.
Miss Luna's voice drifted from the classroom. Standing outside, it sounded quite gentle, the kind of voice that could patiently guide students to learn, making one feel at ease and comfortable.
The content of her lectures was simple single digit multiplication. Because there was no multiplication table or decimal system, the algorithm was very complicated. Just one 7×8 problem confused Mai Ge. It was really difficult for those six or seven years old children.
Amy listened quietly, her eyes seemingly shining as she looked into the classroom.
Mai Ge also stood quietly behind her. Listening was one thing, but disturbing someone's lesson was a bit inappropriate.
"Meow~" Just then, a cat's meow rang out.
