Chapter 2302: It’s Good To Be Young

The next morning, the ladies from Mamy Restaurant were woken up from their dreams by an alarm.

They got up from bed groggily and saw the greeting note from Mag: Good morning, employees!

The ladies stood in the living room and fell silent for a while with varying expressions.

However, after they washed up and braced the cold wind to arrive at Mamy Restaurant, they found a little blackboard hanging on the door that said: “Day Off Today”

Everyone: “…?”

“Wasn’t this… written by Boss yesterday? Did he forget to take it down?” Miya asked with a frown.

“But it must be an off day. Otherwise Boss would never hang a little blackboard.” Firis shook her head.

“But we just rested yesterday. Why are we resting again today?” Gina asked.

Before they could figure it out, the restaurant door opened. Mag stood at the door and said with a smile, “You’re all here. Come on in for breakfast. I forgot to notify you that Hope School is opening today. I am going to attend the opening ceremony, so the restaurant is closed for the day.”

Everyone finally understood. Mag had another identity right now: a teacher.

“Can we go over to watch?” Miya asked.

“I can bring you in later. There is an area for parents to watch the ceremony.” Mag nodded with a smile.

Amy came down in Hope School’s new uniform. She skipped over happily to Mag. “Father, what do you think of my school uniform?”

“Mm. It’s beautiful.” Mag nodded with a smile.

Gloria was the one who donated Hope School’s uniform. There were two types, the winter uniform and the summer uniform. The design was a simple blue and red set. It was made of very warm and thick cotton and the pants were very appropriate for children who were at an active age.

Mag did not participate in the school uniform’s design. He heard that Gloria did it on her own and he could tell that she had put in a lot of effort.

Amy had chosen to transfer to Hope School and Mag did the transfer application for her a couple of days ago.

Amy was not eligible for free admission to the school, so Mag had to pay 3000 copper coins as school fees. Amy would be going home for her meals, so Mag did not have to pay for school meals.

This was discussed between Mag and Luna before. Hope School was primarily set as a charity school but that did not stop their ambition of transforming it into the best school on the Norland Continent.

Therefore, children from poor families in Chaos City could be admitted for free but students from well-to-do families, who entered through Hope School’s admission test, had to pay school fees every semester.

It could not be a long-term plan for the school to depend solely on charity funds to operate. Moreover, the teachers from Hope School had benefits on par with those from Chaos School. The city lord’s castle would not be funding this high cost, so Mag and Luna had to find a source of income.

By improving the quality of the education to make Hope School reputable, more parents would want to send their children to Hope School and that would naturally bring in a source of funding.

“But I’ll still have to go back to Chaos School for classes after attending Hope School’s opening ceremony. Teacher Krassu said that the magic classroom can’t be moved over for the time being,” Amy said dispiritedly.

“It’s alright. I’ll send you over later.” Mag smiled and stroked Amy’s head. After that, he brought out breakfast for everyone.

The opening ceremony started at eight a.m. so Mag and the rest had to set off to Hope School after breakfast.

At the gate of Hope School, children wearing their new uniforms beamed brightly as they walked into the school with their parents with them.

These children were not of the same age. Some of them looked around four to five years old while some of them seemed to be almost 13 to 14 years old. However, all their eyes were glistening with hope.

Mag could not help but pause in his tracks. His eyes became moist as he watched these children.

Mag had done many things after coming to this world. However, what made him really feel that he had done something good was this scene of the children walking into campus with their school bags.

He saw the information of some children that were with Luna. Some of them had to dig coal at a very young age, some of them were forced to beg on the streets, and some of them had already learned how to steal from the pockets of others.

Luna and the teachers of Hope School went to look for them one by one and brought them to Hope School.

“Children are full of energy. School is indeed the most beautiful place. How envious.” Miya watched these children walk into the school with envy. “If I was born a few years later, I probably could go to school too.”

Elizabeth held her hand gently.

“You can listen to my class any time you want,” Mag said with a smile.

“Really?!” Yabemiya’s eyes lit up.

“Of course.” Mag nodded.

“Thank you, Boss!” Yabemiya jumped for joy. This could make amends for her regret of not going to school.

Mag and the rest walked towards the gate. Mag, Gina, Vivian, and Shirley had work passes so they could walk in by showing their passes.

“These are my family members. They would like to watch the opening ceremony. Can I bring them in to watch?” Mag asked the guards.

The guard recognized Mag and upon hearing that, he sized up the group of beautiful young ladies. He looked at Mag again with admiration and gave him a thumbs up as he said, “Impressive! Go on in.”

Mag was puzzled by what the guard said. However, he still led the ladies through the door and to the observance area on the left.

“Gina, I’ll go to check out the traces of the God of the Sea with you after the opening ceremony,” Mag found some time alone with Gina and told her.

Gina looked at Mag in surprise but nodded very quickly.

Everyone was having a whale of a time yesterday, so she did not mention it, thinking that Mag had forgotten about this. She did not expect him to say that he would go with her today.

Mag brought Gina and the others to the teachers’ area. Today, the teachers were all dressed simply and were standing diagonally around one meter in front of the main stage. Even the retired teachers were standing tall to display the pride of being a teacher from Hope School.

The students reported in their classrooms first, before the homeroom teachers of each class brought their classes down to the field in a neat row.

Hope School’s classes were split based on the learning phase, just like in Chaos School. The children’s race was not one of the factors in the splitting of classes.

Therefore, all the classes would have students of various races. Although they were not all of the same height and size, which looked a little messy, the ambiance and environment were very harmonious.

“Amy’s there,” Babla told Mag.

Mag had already noticed Amy and Jessica who were holding hands. The two small children were right at the front of the line and they had attracted many looks.

“That little elf is really cute. So is the little girl beside her.”

“Yeah, they are so small. They look about only four to five years old.”

“It’s good to be young.”
