Nigotta Hitomi no Lilianne Chapter 74 part1

Going to Reki-kun’s room was added to the daily routine.
It seems that Reki-kun’s room is near the training room of my siblings, so we often go the see the two doing their best.
Although I say that, there’s a problem timewise, so it’s not like we go to see the two’s training every day.
Theo seems especially busy recently.

「Lily, I intend to advance to the Knights Department, after all. I’m practicing at home, but diligently learning at school would be definitely better!」

「That’s right. Even though you are enrolled in the Knights of White Crystals, it’s no different from private army so properly studying at school is important」

「What should I do, I wonder~…… I don’t have any intention of advancing to the Knights Department, but there are no other departments I’m interested in~…… Ah~ why is there no Lily Department~」

「Lily Department, huh! That’s nice, Ellie! That is extremely nice! Let’s go to negotiate with the school right away!」

「Right! This is the time to use the power of the Christophe House!」

「Fufu…… you two are in fired up, aren’t you~」

「…… Annela-sama…… please, stop them……」

Theo is apparently graduating from the elementary school the next year.
After elementary, he will attend the junior high school where he will attend classes in the professional departments.

It feels somewhat like a little university? Theo is only ten years old, but he will already attend a junior high school……
Because he would need another two to three years in my previous world, I think this world is quite fast.
But, considering the different world’s standard where children have to work, the idea of school is unusual itself.

Regarding schools, it also appeared in Sani sensei’s lesson.
Surprisingly, five-year-olds are able to enroll in a school.
Ovent is putting a lot of effort into school management earning the nickname of the University Town.
There are several schools in the capital Ovent and Theo is attending the biggest one.
To be precise, the Ovent Kingdom’s Third Royal Academy.
It’s not a school, but an academy, it would be different.
What is surprising is that the fundamental studies are quite inexpensive. Most of the Ovent’s population have finished their elementary studies, and the literacy rate apparently exceeds 70%.
Having said 70% reminded me that this is indeed a different world, but it seems that simple calculations, reading, and writing are on a sufficient level.
What they learn in the elementary school is around that area, and I also understood that the calculations Theo had problems before were on a difficult level for his age.
The junior high school is divided into many departments.
Theo is planning to attend one of them, the Knights Department. As the name suggest, Knights Department is a class for prospective knights.
From the behaving and speaking as knights to the combat practice.
But, even though it’s junior high school, they are still ten years old children. About half of the classes is the extension of the elementary school, making the professional departments only a fraction of the studies.
This is also done in a manner of laying the groundwork for higher education.

The tuition fee of the junior high school is higher compared to the elementary school’s fee because it’s possible to learn specialized fields. Therefore, many children find employment after finishing the elementary school. However, in general, the children who go to the junior high school continue into the senior high school. It’s a matter of course as the junior high school lays the groundwork for it.
It isn’t an obligation to go to school. It’s the individual’s choice.

Nevertheless, Ovent’s situation is considerably good.
The other three countries have nearly no school system, and their literacy rate can’t be even compared to Ovent’s.
Their system is truly a system of a medieval age different world. Ovent has a considerably modern way of thinking.

Incidentally, there’s also the sorcery aptitude test when turning ten years old.
This is not done exactly at the age of ten, but at the end of the highest grade of the elementary school.
It seems to be the part of the school support.
The aptitude test itself is considerably large-scale, so doing it individually would be difficult.
Even those who don’t attend the school for some reason can come to receive an examination.
In case the reaction in the examination is positive, you will receive a lot of sorcerer support from the country.
Because it requires deep knowledge to become a sorcerer, the system is set in such way, so the children who didn’t go to elementary school or are planning to give up on junior high school are prepared ahead of time before the path before them.
There are not many people who show positiveness.
That’s why the Ovent’s King took political measures in such way that even one isn’t missed just because they were poor.
This policy indeed had a certain effect and had produced tremendous results in discovering the sorcerers in the making.

The country gives their utmost support because the sorcerers are scarce. Even if you are a sorcerer of a low rank, as long as you can use a magic tool, you can secure a high paying official work.

For that reason, everyone longs to be a sorcerer.
