Again, those few benefits weren't all that Carona was getting from this treaty.
.
Education!
No matter what academic facility it was, tuition was essential for its maintenance, teacher pay out and general upkeep of the facility.
Generally, there were a lot of things that went into their student fees.
Things like healthcare was a must for the students to have... especially the international ones, lest they fall ill and need treatment.
And in addition to that, money was needed for several bills.
Be it paying for electrical bills, field trips, teaching services, items like lab equipments, chemicals, chairs, and so on.
In short, all of these added to the cost of one's tuition per semester.
.
In general, each class within Baymard's public school... had children of various ages.
>Preschool (ages 3-5) for each semester
  ▪Baymardians: 1,500 BAYs
  ▪Treaty-signed territories: 2,000 BAYs
  ▪The Rest : 2,500 BAYs
*one should know that each semester was 4 months, so it perfectly evened out for paying the teachers and so on.
So each month, the Baymardians would have to save just 375 Bays (copper coins)....  so as to pay out 1500 Bays.
One could look at 375 Bays as $ 375 .
Sure, it seemed ridiculously small to save up and pay tuitions... but in this era, it was just right.
>Elementary School (ages 5 - 11), from Kindergarten, Grade 1... all through Grade 5.    
  ▪Baymardians: 1,800 BAYs
  ▪Treaty-signed territories: 2,650 BAYs
  ▪The Rest: 3,200 BAYs
>Junior High (ages 11 -15), from Grade 6 all through Grade 9.
  ▪Baymardians: 2,200 BAYs
  ▪Treaty-signed territories: 3,000 BAYS
  ▪The Rest: 3,800 BAYS
Of course after this grade, they would graduate... and that was it.
.
From this price list....  it was clear to see that Carona was still getting a good deal, compared to others.
With respects to pricing, Landon would charge students according to what class group they were in... and not their ages.
For example, elementary school usually took in children from ages 5 to 11.
But previously, there were students at 14... who didn't know how to write, and were placed back at elementary school.
So instead of charging them the price of a Junior high student (11-15), they would get charged as elementary students instead.
.
But no matter what educational level they were at..... at age 15, they were seen as adults.
Hence it was graduation time.
There was nothing Landon could do about it, as that was the coming of age period here.
Of course as time went on, more and more people would get educated..... as well as place their children in school at an early age.
And by then, things would even out on their own.
So Landon wasn't too worried about this.
.
Also.... the school also allowed to give out scholarships to the Baymardians, treaty-signed nations and the rest.
These scholarships were there to encourage and reward those hard working children.
And apart from that, there were student programs that allowed minors from ages 9-14 to work.
But they could only do very light jobs, if they wanted to aid in paying off their fees with a monthly plan.
One should know that apart from the nobles, peasants would also be attending this school as well in the nearest future.
So giving them numerous opportunities for success, was definitely a necessity.
.
Actually... even back on earth, children could work.
However, the amount of time they put in..... and the amount of work that was meant to be carried out, needed to be extremely light.
For example, they could dog walk in the parks, help in gardening local areas, window cleaning, lemonade stand selling and so on.
Children also made money as well.
.
Normally, an adult could work up to 8 - 10 hours a day.... but for children, it would be advisable for them to use 4 to 5 hours max.
Of course even though this era was completely different from the one back on earth, Landon had still chosen to stick to earth's principles.
But he knew that eventually, some children would grumble and ask for an increase in work time.
After all, children here worked just like adults.
At age 6 and even 7.... some of them were already serving at bars and restaurants for 8 hours straight.
While others worked at stables for close to 10 hours without sleep.
.
They were some who even worked by the seas, and carried heavy boxes daily.
Some also did babysitting, did house cleaning, and worked in the farms like pros.
So 4 to 5 hours for them, was like no work at all.
But just because they could do it, didn't mean that it was the right thing to do.
Working like that at a young age would definitely affect them when they got older.
Hence 5 hours per day, was the max that Landon could allow.
.
For the work they could do, Landon had already thought of few.
They could work as 'underage part-timers' at the Ranch.
There, they would be given a special badge.... that showed their underage status, as well as other special work documents.
And no matter what job they did, they would always have to do it under someone's supervision.
Anyway... at the Ranch, they could wash the horses, brush their hairs, feed them foods like apples, and even clean up their poop.
Provided it wasn't tedious, Landon didn't see any reason why they couldn't do it.
.
They could also work with Baymard's Gardening Company as well.
There, they could help gather up fallen leaves, plant flowers and even cut bushes from their client's backyards or work areas.
They could be posted at the park, other public areas, or even someone's private property.
But of course, they would never be working alone.... as everything would always be under supervision. 
They could also work at the Baymard's cleaning company... where they would clean windows, mop hallways, sweep rooms and so on. 
.
In essence, there were so many light jobs for them to do... so making money wasn't going to be an issue for these incoming international students.
And just so that their school work wasn't affected, they were only allowed to work on weekends.
Again, if they couldn't pay up all their fees at the end of the semester..... then they could apply for an extension payment plan, and work during all holidays here.
.
Generally, Landon wouldn't allow international students to stay within Baymard during the long holidays.
But if they still owed the school and wanted to work for their pay, then by all means... they could go right ahead and do so.
With this, Landon decided to change his initial stance on having students stay in Baymard during the holidays.
Now... he would allow them to stay, but they had to apply for a stay before doing so. 
Regardless, if they decided to stay..... their maximum work hours during holidays like, would be 25 hours a week.
(*5 hours × 5 days)
.
Tackling Student Visas, it wasn't logical to have students change visas every 3 months.... since they would essentially come back and study till they graduated.
But even so, Landon couldn't give them anything that went over a year.
Hence, he had decided that their visas would last for 1 year max.
And if they wanted to renew it again, they just had to prove that they had registered for next year's semester....  and that would be all.
What if he gave some people 5 year Visas, and then didn't bother to show up again?
Or worse, their Visas got stolen?
.
Everything Landon was doing, was trying to reduce identity theft to a minimal scale.
Compared to other empires that allowed all assassins, crooks and thieves to sneak or bribe their way into larger cities just like that.... Landon was trying his best to make this place a safe haven for his people.
Hence all these checks were damn important in stopping criminals from getting in.
Sure, some would definitely get in, but the numbers had to be few.
.
Moving on, 1 year was a lot compared to ordinary visitor entries.
Hence, be it international culinary students, or public school international students... they would have specific passport covers as well.
•All treaty-signed international students would have 'GREY' passport covers.
•And the other international students would have dark 'BROWN' coloured passport covers.
The reason why Landon truly wanted to differentiate everything.... was so that those  who worked at the port, would have an easy time identifying different persons.
.
If one saw someone with a Blue passport, they would know that this was a citizen from a treaty-signed territory.
Likewise, if they saw other Baymardians or even students..... they would automatically know as well.
Of course Baymardian students didn't need special passports.... as their RED colored ones were more than enough to carry them through.
Afterall, all Baymard citizens would be able to keep the same passport for 10 years.... before it would finally expire.
.
With all that said, as per the treaty....  Baymard had given educational discounts to Caronians if they decided to study here.


Chu Yi dies in a car crash and becomes Landon Barn, the illegitimate son of king Barn, ruler of Arcadina. Because his mother was a maid and the king’s greatest disgrace, his father had always despised him. The same could be said for his half-siblings. 

When he turned 15, his father had announced that the city of Baymard would be given to him, and would no longer be under the empire's control. It was a well known fact that Baymard’s lands were barren, and poverty stricken.... For god’s sake, this was banishment.

His deadbeat father had indirectly banished him from the empire.

Chu Yi woke up in a carriage, on his way to Baymard with a system

"So what if my father hates me? So what if I’m banished?.... I will turn my territory into a modern society"

Author here, thank you all for tuning in..... english is my second language... so I promise to try my best.

P.S, please dont compare my Novel to others... not all world development novels have to have the same format.

That night a Black Acura TSX parked at the front of a classic villa.

VILLA VERONICA; A ranch ,consists of a thousands acres of land,privately owned   by the CIMARRO's family,it was named before the mother of JenCarlos ,Mrs.Veronica Cimarro,it was a beautiful place tucked away from the lights and sounds of the big cities, with spectacular landscape.

An ancient Greek-god, tall man with a wide shoulder, broad,strong chest,thick and perfectly shaped eyebrows, with a face of collectedness and composure,well-toned man,with full buttocks, alighted from the car,wearing jeans and leather jacket and white T- Shirt inside.

Despite his wealth and being the only male heir,he prepares to drive car having a price well below his means,he doesn't mind if it is a cheap car as long as it was safe and comfortable and especially not ostentatious .

"Good evening Senyorito...!!!" the butler and maids bowed down and greeted him at the door.

"Good evening...!!!JenCarlos,looked at them with a genuine smile ,showing his perfect pearly white teeth and natural red lips,such a very striking view,all of the employees that are present gasps in awe and their expressions were a mix of disbelief that such a perfectly fine looking man do exist  in this world and smiling at them right  now,they look at him with complete admiration as he nodded his head,as a sign of acknowledging them. 

Spending half of his life under the care of his grandmother and grandfather makes him grow up with equal respect to anyone regarding what their status are,his grandparents mold him and his values into a positive and good way. He walked passed them and at an enormous living room ,and go straight to the dining room.

Inside the comfortable dining room,with a size as wide as the living room, with a wonderful colors and details, with an inviting ambience,and history feel,it has a very odd design , because it has a  bookshelves,well what can we expect from the house of the family that owns a school,from Elementary up to College. 

Even their dining area was designed for multitasking, as a study room,a place to do homework and a spot for spreading out newspaper while drinking coffee,there are sconces that was put in place 52 inches from the ground between bookcases,and consists of chandelier and other lights that was place in multiple levels and places other than overhead.

" How are you, my son...?a joyful voice could be heard ringing inside the dining area,coming from the middle -age,blond hair,sharp forehead and perfectly arc eyebrow,brown eyes,small nose,tin upper lip shape,fair skin and a diamond face shape,an older version of Weng, Mrs.Veronica  Cimarro's ,as soon as the familiar sound of footsteps hit her hearing.

She was seated at the head of the large rectangular table,good for up to 12 seater,having dinner. Being a widow for almost 4years ,she got used for having dinner alone. She has a very soft and lively features that anyone will find her comfortable to be with, well thanks to her many decades of experience in successful dealing and connecting with different groups of people that come and go to the office with different emotions.

JenCarlos took a big stride forward, towards his mother, "Good evening,I'm fine, Ma." ,his greet to her as he kiss her  forehead.

He pulled a chair and sit comfortably, preparing to start eating,suddenly he raised his head and scanned the room as if looking for something. "Ma ,where is Weng ?."

" I could clearly tell,that I loved you,the first moment I saw you and I will always remember,the moment I watched you,there dancing in the rain,because that was the time I realized that somehow the rest of the world vanished,when I am looking at you."

Newly graduate Georgia Spears,very beautiful ,smart girl. Her faith made her live in JenCarlos villa.

JenCarlos Cimarro,a very handsome heir,whose eyes seem to peer directly into her soul.He had the looks,wealth,power and women if he wanted,in short he got everything he ever wanted in life.

Georgia is a mystical creature,who does not know she is one until the blue moon after her 18th birthday.

A very bizarre and mysterious thing was carried on her bloodline but only female is infected,and she has to suffer every  blue moon.

Does the love of Georgia and JenCarlos, worthy and strong enough to last until the end?.We will find out as Georgia enters the villa and into a romance with her soulmate.

&quot;Today, we will break off into groups and pretend to be a family. You will each take on the role of the mother, father, and younger siblings, and then talk about how that made you feel. Is that clear?&quot;
&quot;Yes, Ms. Kim~&quot;

Though she felt bad for 'Julian,' class was still just class, and everyone had circumstances of their own. Sure, first graders needed as much love and attention as possible, but 'Julian' was only one out of the thirty-two students Hee Yeon had to look after. She couldn't cancel class just for him alone.

She proceeded to divide the students into groups of four or five and gave them time to decide individual roles. Once the roles were clear, and students had chosen who was to be the mom or the dad, or even uncles and grandparents, the family play began with no issues.
&quot;Here,&quot; said one of the students playing the mother role. &quot;Take this money and go buy whatever you wish to eat.&quot;
The student then pretended to give the &quot;son&quot; some money. This likely stemmed from the student's wishes that their own mother would do something similar.

&quot;No, no. Let go. You can't do that. I told you not to do that. Why can't you just listen for once?&quot;
The students who had taken on the mother's role tried their hardest to be harsh and reprimanding, and the other students cheered and clapped their hands at the superb performance.

&quot;Hey,&quot; said one of the students. &quot;Can you give me some money? I want to play games.&quot;
&quot;What role are you playing?&quot; Asked Hee Yeon, approaching one of the groups
&quot;It's my uncle.&quot;
&quot;…&quot;
Hee Yeon couldn't help but give a small, sad smile.

'Julian' and his group were up next. Surprisingly, 'Julian' had taken the role of the father. Three girls played the part of the mother and two daughters. The mother cleaned the house while the older daughter volunteered to help sweep the floor. The younger daughter, on the other hand, grabbed onto the mother to beg for cookies, which made the rest of the class laugh. Indeed, watching the daughter cling to the much shorter mother was enough to make even Hee Yeon chuckle. In the midst of all this, however, 'Julian' behaving quite oddly, swinging an imaginary axe away from the rest of the family. When asked about this, he had simply answered, &quot;I'm cutting a tree to make a chair.&quot;

The other students seemed amazed by this, letting out a collective &quot;wow.&quot; Even Hee Yeon thought it was quite the spectacle. Making a chair? And not even an assembly type, but from scratch, by cutting down a tree? It just was not possible, according to all logic and common sense. After all, in the Republic of Korea, it was illegal for an individual to freely cut down trees. While Hee Yeon was lost in her thoughts, one of the students shouted out. &quot;How can you make a chair? You don't even have a dad. It's all a lie.&quot;

Such a response was to be expected of a child so young. Children, after all, acted maliciously without necessarily meaning any harm and lacked the ability to even distinguish good from bad. On top of that, only having been in the profession for three years, Hee Yeon lacked the proper experience to respond to such provocations in a timely manner. She hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to take care of this emergency. Just as she regained her composure, an awkward smile plastered on her face in an effort to make things better, the boy spoke.
&quot;There was a forest right behind our house.&quot; He said, as the students all stared at him. &quot;About…thirty minutes into the forest, there were many red cedar trees. You make chairs with them. Red cedars have smaller burls than other trees, so the wood is prettier. It's good for making chairs and tables too, because it's much lighter and harder.&quot;
He spoke calmly, his voice neither too loud nor too quiet, and Hee Yeon let him continue. She had no intention of stopping him now.

&quot;You use a saw to cut the wood down into the appropriate pieces for a chair. It's crucial that you cut along the grain. My father said that if you cut against it, the chair will be too weak and won't last as long.&quot;
The boy stopped speaking for a moment, and silence reigned in the classroom. No one could bring themselves to interrupt.
&quot;Once you have the wood in the adequate size and shape,&quot; the boy continued once again, &quot;you have to sand it down. I can start helping from this point. I smooth out all the edges and corners and then dust it off so that Dad can oil everything. You leave it out to dry, and three days after you sand it and oil it again. If you repeat this process two more times, the wood won't rot so easily, and it becomes a chair warm enough for our family to use. That's what my father said.&quot;

As he spoke, the boy's gaze had gradually dropped lower and lower, and when he had finally finished explaining, he had dropped his entire head to look at the floor beneath him. Looking at him, even the children knew better than to make thoughtless remarks.

****

&quot;Well, maybe he read it in a book?&quot; Asked the librarian after hearing Hee Yeon's story. However, Hee Yeon was wholly unconvinced, and tilted her head to the side skeptically. &quot;You think so? He described it in so much detail, though. It really felt like he was speaking from experience.&quot;
The librarian, Miss Lee, took a sip of the coffee she had been staring at, noticing that the instant coffee mix was much too sweet for her tastes, and began her rebuttal.
&quot;Well, I wasn't there to hear it, so I guess I'll just have to take your word on how &quot;it really felt,&quot; but I'm sure you'll find some books on woodwork in this library, if you look hard enough. To be honest, I think that boy is clever enough to embellish his stories to make them sound true. You know, kind of like that one condition where you believe your own lies. What was it…&quot;

Before Hee Yeon could even think of answering, Miss Lee continued without missing a beat.
&quot;Oh yes, Ripley's syndrome! I'm sure he has some inferiority complex or another, considering all the other children have parents and he doesn't. So he made up a pretty little story about an all-talented father who makes him chairs just like that. I guess that's what he considers to be admirable, the young thing. Who makes chairs by hand anyway? In this day and age? You can buy premade, fully functional chairs nearly anywhere.&quot;

Upon sensing that she had become too engrossed in her own story and Hee Yeon was now noticeably glaring at her, Miss Lee quickly fumbled for an excuse to make up for this mistake. &quot;Of course, I'm not saying the child is bad in any way. I'm also rather fond of him. He's the only one who comes to the library first thing in the morning. He can be a bit shy, but who could ever have anything bad to say about such a diligent, reliable child?&quot;

Wholly disregarding the librarian's feeble attempts to placate her, Hee Yeon felt that it was a very plausible explanation for the boy's behavior, even if she was morally inclined to disagree. Should she notify the institute about this?

The boy in question was reading in the classroom, blissfully ignorant of his teacher's dilemma. Morning classes had already ended, and he was now waiting for the after-school classes held in the afternoon. Today's class was math, which was one of the main reasons he had come to love school so much. The first and most important reason would always be reading. Though elementary level math was nothing too impressive, the boy thought it wondrous, almost like a subject that only mages in fantasy novels would be able to master. No one in the peasant town ever dealt with numbers, and the only example of counting they did was counting piles of wood. The boy had learned, for the first time in his life, that precise numbers could be used in daily life.

For a child so eager to learn everything that he could, curricula had no meaning. As the phrase went, &quot;a word to the wise is enough,&quot; especially when it came to mathematics. If a child, any child, took an interest in numbers, they could easily grasp the idea of three-digit numbers in first grade, even if it's meant to be taught in second grade. From there, the concept of four-digit numbers or greater would hardly be an issue. Moreover, elementary school math focuses on practical applications of numbers, providing various situations in which children must use operations to solve problems, and as such, the boy easily taught himself the basics of the subject simply by reading through the textbook. The after-school classes also had great impact, and while his classmates learned numbers up to fifty and the concept of even and odd numbers, the boy had already mastered the concept of addition, subtraction, and even multiplication, and reviewed this knowledge by solving math problems on his own.

In the classroom, as the boy kept reading through his textbook with the faintest of smiles on his face, a pair of eyes watched him furtively. It was his classmate, Kyung-eun. She was a tall girl, taller than most other classmates, which meant that she sat in the back during morning classes, away from the boy. She had started to take interest in him quite recently. To be more specific, she had started to take interest following the 'incident' a few days ago.

In the beginning of the semester, she had been busy befriending other girls in the class, and after that, she had extended her friendship and interest in boys as well. For example, her main object of interest was Jihoon, who was always being reprimanded by the teachers and yet had an outstanding reputation among his peers. As her interest in boys developed, she was taken aback by the interesting &quot;dad&quot; performance that the boy had shown. Until that point, she had only thought of him as an exotic looking, lonely classmate. After his performance, however, she began to think of him as a &quot;mysterious boy full of secrets.&quot; Still, she was much too shy to talk to him after almost a full semester of not even making eye contact, so all she could do to express her interest was to steal a look at him every so often.

But something was different today. There weren't that many students attending after-school classes, so there were less witnesses to her embarrassment. Thus, she decided to let her curiosity take over.

&quot;Hey…&quot; She began hesitantly, but the boy kept writing numbers down in his notebook. &quot;…Plaster face.&quot;

As soon as the word left her mouth, she knew she had made a terrible mistake. She had seen the other children call him that, and she had used his nickname without really thinking about it. Realizing what she had done, her face burned scarlet, but her initial goal had been met.

The boy turned towards Kyung-eun and looked at her.

&lt;The New Semester (2)&gt; End

A boy who was living an ordinary life in another world suddenly came to the present world.

Social systems, way of life and morals... They have all changed.

How will the boy try to survive?

What kind of life will the boy live?

The Jones children came to live with their godparents who are also their aunt and uncle when their parent and them were in the car versus semi accident. Jane and David Jones died on scene. So the children when they were released from the hospital came home with their aunt and uncle to live on a ranch. Alexis was fourteen, Trevor was nine, and Rainy was two months. They instantly loved being in a bigger family and on a ranch. Alexis and Jessica became best friends over the years. The kids all called Danajo and Dustin, "mom & dad." The ranch is about 160 acres and most of which hasn't been established into farming land yet.

Danajo is a teacher and teaches children from local towns around them to lower end families who can't afford the school fees. She teaches from ages five to eighteen. She averages around twenty students a school year and with the help of her good friends Linda and Faith they are able to teach the children and help them with anything that they may need.

The girls have three unique best friends that are from a nearby town but Danajo teaches them so that their parents can feel better about them going to school. Jasmine Paris, Mason Jackson, and Gabriel Tropics.

The Journey To Present Day
From the age of fifteen, the five teens worked with horses, trained on them, and went to competitions all around the states. At the age of seventeen teens developed the company Fun on the Ranch. It's a company that helps underprivileged children from ages eight months to twelve. They also have a part of the company for children that are handicap. They would have summer camps and a week long winter camp for all children to get away and have fun. The Waters boys offered to help by driving the buses that they bought. On the ranch they took four acres to have a horse stable, activity center, and lodge for the children. Dustin helped them build everything up. The adults helped them spread the word about their company once they got it approved by the state to be a company. When the teens graduated high school and started college they did college from the ranch on the summer in the evenings so that they could run the company.

When Alexis moved to the ranch she met a sweet guy named Henry Waters and they became sweethearts. They later married at the ages of twenty-one and twenty-four. Alexis and Henry lived on the ranch together with Alexis' family since the Waters boys lived in the HeartInn. The young married couple bought a small twelve acres from Dustin near the company. The plan on building a three cabins there and a brick wall around the company area and their land so that they can always have some alone time, but still have access to the company area. They drew up three cabin similar in design. First cabin for them, Second cabin for Jessica and Jasmine as a surprise, and Third cabin for Henry's brothers, Mason, and Jackson so that they wouldn't have to travel far anymore and they could be close to their company and the ranch. Together the group owns about twenty-five acres for both the company and themselves.

They work very well together at establishing this company. Over the years the company grew to be a big top notch origination to help underprivileged children and special needs children. They grew to have twenty states with a facility and over 1million workers. Everyone that went truly enjoyed their visits. Some places even had hired people that came their way as children. The life of each child that came to their facilities were changed with a single smile and hope that times will change for them. No employee ever went without spending time with a child to lighting up their day. No matter how the employee's day was going every child always had them and they had to child to put a smile on each others faces.

Green Wood academie; a boarding school led by the government and the only school with an escalator system from elementary to college. 

And the first school on the list of preferred schools for the influential families in K City, that have power and money in hand.

The school has a long standing and tradition, grooming heirs and heiresses from many families to be outstanding and glamorous, evoking awe and admiration among the common citizens.

And every year this school had given a limited amount of scholarships for students with outstanding abilities all over the world. 

Having made it a hotspot for ambitious families in other countries. 

Just the possibility of making contact with other children of other power households, or even establishing relationships with them made those families drool in their dreams.

It was like a toad eating swan meat. Just no beauty present. So who did not want a piece of this lucrative cake?!

Everyone did!

Whereupon the various households, began fighting for the scholarship and possibil relationships. 

But soon, this outside-talent snatching sheme was stopped entirely. 

And this once a year chance fell completely on the head of the citizens within the K Country. 

Why this sudden change? No one knew the reason, it was withheld from the public.

However, some nosey people with more background knowledge could identify that this decision was made right after, an article, of an medical lab burning down through an unsuccessful experiment exploding was published.
...

So now days, Green Wood had less new faces and if, then their own citizens from other classes.

That was why a blond guy with light brown eyes looked very surprised to hear from his teacher, that he had to go welcome two new students, who would arrive this afternoon. 

He was notified of this on a very short notice, and it was in the middle of the school year! 

Green Wood does not take outside students, and that certainly not in the graduation year to boot! 

And with his high standing being chosen, got to mean, the newcomers being valued by a prominent person on some kinda degree.

Being cleared off of some of his doubts by the teacher, he set off on his way to welcome them.

Right now he was walking to the meeting point murmuring inaudible things to himself. "Weird. Teach told me to pick them up through dad's asking. But since when did I have a cousin?"

The explicit thing the teacher told the blond student was, to pick up two newcomers due to his father's, Sasha's request, admitting in a relative and his childhood friend. 

And that was how those two students entered the school without scholarship. 

Since Sasha had influence within the school, taking in two students unauthorizedly in was no problem.

But even with Sasha as the backer, there would be some gutsy people protesting against it. 

Yet with some money tipping their objecting a$$es would just shut up.

After all, with money comes the power to do things outside the rules.

Yet Leevi did not set his mind on the misuse of Sasha's authority over Green Wood's inner council, he was more bugged at where this cousin popped out from. 

He did not remember having a close enough relative to call cousin; both his parents were only children. 

Well, he did have cousins of different degrees, but they are addressed as distant relatives and nothing more.

Standing in the parking lot, where they should arrive, he brought out a small box. 

Inside were candies in tiny plastic packages. He picked one out, unpacked it and was about to put it in his mouth when...

..someone came him one step ahead and snapped at the candy in his hand. 

Taking not only the candy in his mouth, but Leevi's fingers, which held the sweet commodity.

"WHAT THE!" What is going on?!

Leevi was shocked. Why are his fingers shoved down in some guy's throat?

Only some centimeters and his hand, split him and the guy with fluffy, dark chocolate hair. 

Leevi opened his mouth to bring out his flabbergasted state, when a pale hand behind the candy-thief ripped him away from the candy and his hand.

"What are you doing? This is not a way to make an entrance by assaulting a bystander!"

The pale guy reprimanded the candy-thief of his behavior, whereas he just pouted at the nagging and defended himself.

"Milié! I NEEED SUGAR! The last time I saw and ate sweets was three months ago in Emil's hidden stash! So let me enjoy this bit, please?" Aria asked, his voice sensitively getting softer, than at the start.

Nevertheless, even with a softer approach, Emilié decisively cut his request in shreds. "No. Don't forget the message."

Bringing up the message from Sera, Aria kept further plea attempts shut, starring with longing at the sugar piece -what looked unappetizing after being coated with his saliva.

Leevi, the 'bystander', silently watched their short exchange, until coming back to himself through the wet and sticky feeling on his hand.

He worked hard not to show the disgust on his face, even though he was shuddering from the gross feeling. 

He was really thankful of his good-natured personality, if it were someone else, that person would surely be enraged and give the candy-thief a hard time.

He brought out a tissue, peeling of the salivated candy and drool off his hand.

Throwing then the tissue into the nearest waste bin on the parking lot, and disinfecting his hand afterwards. 

He was doing all this, while Emilié and Aria watched him at the side. Aria's complexion tinting to a rosy taint. 

How embarrassing! He really did not realize, how shameless he has behaved, untill he saw the mess he did. 

'Don't blush! Don't blush! Your face should be as thick as uncle Emil's face!'

"You guys are... the newcomers?" asked Leevi with a queasy voice. 'Please don't be!'

Since both of them wore the school's uniform, it was very easy to see that they were students of Green Wood. 

However, with their rude demeanor towards him, they could only be new students. 

The older one's knew who he is, and therefore take accordingly to his standing a respectful approach. 

And not so unimpededly venturesome like this candy-thief.

So his wishful thoughts are shattered in a matter of seconds, without waiting for the answer, but it was worth a try.

Maybe, just maybe..

"Ahem" Aria shook of the embarrassment off of him and reached up his hand to shake his's. "Yeah, we are."

...or not..

"I'm Aria by the way. Nice to meet you.. and sorry about the snatching earlier, hehe."

Leevi did not reach up to his offered hand, and pulled out a courteous smile. "Leevi. Leevi Evans, a.. nice meeting you too."

He had no interest to initiate any contact to this one weirdo. He really hoped his dad made jokes, when he said one of them is his cousin.

He parted his eyes away from Aria and finally gave Emilié his attention. 

A second later, 'If it is not a joke, I'd rather want to be cousins with him.'

The first meeting with her older brother after so long, and off the bat, Emilié got an immediate positive evaluation from Leevi.

[Trigger warnings, especially at the early chapter. Please, read with caution!!]

Snail Village – Pei Household

Raindrops trickled down from the edges of the roof. The left and right wings of the house had been rebuilt. There were several bamboo trees planted along the recently built walkway. Several orchids could be seen beneath the window, freshly planted as well.

Pei Zi Yun raised his pen and started writing when he heard some people entering his courtyard. He paused for a moment before continuing to write. After writing several words, he put his pen down and left the study.

“Young master!” There were several men waiting outside in anticipation. Upon seeing Pei Zi Yun they immediately rose to their feet.

Pei Zi Yun hurriedly said, "We are all part of the same clan, don’t stand on ceremony. We should all erect a shrine for our ancestors, what do you guys think?”

An old man stood up and spoke, “Young Master, this is definitely a good idea. We can earn our keep from this since you are the one paying for the expenses. We can get started once we’ve bought several planks of wood. The plot of land for the shrine would be around fifteen mu, of which we can use some for a school.” Among the men, he was the most aged, and it was evident that he was wise. It looks like he was the former leader of this clan.

Everyone’s surname was Pei, it was clear that they were all related to a certain extent, although it could be distant. However, since they shared blood ties, and were in a foreign land together without many connections, they decided to stick together. 

Pei Zi Yun picked up the map and took a closer look, it was a simple illustration of the village. He asked, "Third uncle, which location have you chosen to start building?”
“To the north of the village sits the Zhang clan, and they’ve already built their own temples. I’m afraid we are unable to occupy that area, besides, it’s not suitable.” Third uncle Pei continued as Pei Zi Yun nodded his head in agreement, “The south of the village isn’t bad, there’s arable land there that we can use. Most of our families live here anyway and it is close to the river.”

Pei Zi Yun nodded his head, "If we wish to build it south of the village, how much would it cost?”

“These plot of land costs about 5 taels of silver per mu of land. We can approach the Li family to buy it over. 15 mu of land would cost 75 taels of silver. We can build three shrines and it wouldn’t cost too much. We just need some money for the workers salaries and  the materials cost and we can start working.” This was close to two hundred taels of silver. Third uncle Pei turned his head to look at Pei Zi Yun.

Pei Zi Yun smiled and waited for some time before asking, "Mother, the clan genealogy that you and third uncle have traced, did you miss anyone out?”

Pei Qian Shi replied, "We’ve gone through it several times, and we haven’t forgotten anyone.”

As soon as the words went out, several families from his clan approached him, which wasn’t an issue since they were all related in one way or another, and everyone present looked at him expectantly.

After the ancestral shrine is built, they can offer incense to their deceased ancestors.

By joining their families to this clan, they can take advantage of the fact that there’s an Elementary Scholar in their midst. Not mentioning other benefits, just the fact that they can get additional food by “kicking grains” would be the deciding factor for them. 

“Kicking grains” was the unspoken rule of grain collection. When the officials come to claim their harvests, the farmers have to gather all the grains and put them in a huge knapsack for measurements.


These sacks will be filled to the brim. The farmers are then allowed to kick the sack and collect all the grains that have spilled to the ground. This is a way of compensating them for all the hard work and to give to the masses since food and warmth are what they are the most worried about.

Furthermore, contributing to the clan's lands would ensure that their children are able to attend the school built there. This is definitely a huge blessing for them. 

Realizing that everyone was looking at him, Pei Zi Yun said, "Then this is how we shall do it. Mother, you will purchase the land. Third uncle, you can start preparing the bricks for building.”

“All the money will be provided by my family.”

As he said this, everyone became overjoyed. At this point someone said, "I am a mason. As long as there's food provided, I will contribute.”

“I will help too! I will go up to the mountains to cut down some trees for wood.”

Soon, everyone was voicing out how they would contribute. The original Pei ancestral shrine had been destroyed during the previous dynasty. Seeing the clan being reunited once more, this time with an Elementary Scholar among them who's willing to pay for all the expenses, everyone decided to contribute and do their part. 

They even agreed to stay for lunch while the discussion continued till the afternoon, before they happily dispersed. As they returned home, some of them shouted, "Don't worry, we will be able to finish building it within a month.“

Seeing them leave, Pei Zi Yun couldn’t help but smile proudly.

It was said that there was strength in unity. As far as the authorities are concerned, the weaker the clans are, the better. But for a person and his clan, the stronger the bonds between each other, the stronger they are. This was similar to the world he was originally from. In order to get a job, the more connections he had, the higher his chances of success were. Then all he had to do was to pick up the phone and make a call to get whatever he wanted. 

If someone was an orphan, even if they were to beg for help from their mother or father, no one would come.

The situation can’t be more different here. As an intelligent individual, Pei Zi Yun sat upright and felt that people of the same clan should gather together. A person was prone to ups and downs in his lifetime, who could guarantee that all his offsprings would prosper and become officials? However with a clan, the hardships couldn’t be tougher than the hardships faced alone.

“Brother Pei!” Just as he was lost in thought, a cheerful voice rang out. Pei Zi Yun smiled and stood up to open the door. Once the door opened, the wind brought in the rain that started pouring a while ago.

“So it turns out to be brother Tang!” He exclaimed as Tang Zhen walked through the door.

Pei Zi Yun and Tang Zhen could be considered of the same rank and thus got along relatively well. The both of them greeted each other with a salute as Pei Zi Yun brought Tang Zhen into his house and offered him a seat. 

Tang Zhen laughed and spoke cheerfully, "It’s been a long time since we’ve last met. Ever since Brother Pei has returned home, he had many accomplishments. He even annihilated Black Cloud Sect with a flick of his sleeve!”

Pei Zi Yun looked at Tang Zhen and exclaimed, "That is embellished. I am a student, how could I claim the lives of such infamous bandits? It’s just that we’ve been threatened one time too many by them, and so I approached the Chief Patrol Officer for help. The Patrol Officer is a just man, and immediately acted in a decisive manner to wipe out the entire sect. That is the might of the Imperial Court and his excellency, the Patrol Officer. How would I dare to claim credit for that?”

These words were indisputable and didn’t cause Tang Zhen to suspect otherwise, “Regardless, it was brother Pei who convinced the Patrol Officer to act, and thus, achieved the desired outcome.”

After pausing for some time, he continued, "But after the matter has concluded, Brother Pei started staying at home and hasn’t left his house. I wonder what’s the matter?”

Pei Zi Yun pointed at the ink and paper and replied, "Brother Tang is aware of my heritage and knows that I used to have relatives in court. However, my family met with some difficulties and moved here, in Slow River county, where our connections run thin.”

“I was extremely fortunate, as well as astonished, to achieve Elementary Scholar status. However, my mother has been urging me to attempt for High Scholar status. Only then will my Pei household be stable in the county. Since my mother requested me to attempt it, I dare not refuse her. Which is why I’ve been preparing myself for the examinations, and reading more to ready myself for this year’s spring examinations. 

Seeing Pei Zi Yun’s sincere demeanor, Tang Zhen couldn't help but admire and respect him for that. He replied, "Ever since the release of brother Pei’s examination papers, many scholars have praised your works. They said that brother Pei’s essays are reaching its peak in maturity. If you continue like that, the upcoming exams will be too easy for you.

Pei Zi Yun shook his head, "In the upcoming Spring Examinations, there will be three thousand Elementary Scholars participating and only thirty three will be successful. There are plenty of heroes under the heavens, how could my talents in literature compare? All I can rely on is fate.”

“Brother Pei is such a forthright person!” Upon hearing his words, Tang Zhen was moved. He didn't think that Pei Zi Yun was being overtly modest, in fact he knew that he was being sincere. He too had seen Pei Zi Yun’s essay and agreed with the masses that he was indeed talented. Although for him to rise at the top of the entire country, he still had work to do. 

Clearly, he did have a good chance of succeeding in the Spring Examinations. However, there were many capable candidates. Every three years, only thirty three candidates would succeed. Evidently fate and luck played a crucial role as well. 

Tang Zhen didn't voice his thoughts and changed the topic. They spoke about famous students, especially those who had humble beginnings from Slow River county. 

As Pei Zi Yun listened on, he felt a sense of indescribable happiness and said, "I returned to the county to pay respects to the elder generation of my village. If it weren’t for the fact that I was preoccupied with family matters, I would welcome more of your visits.”

Tang Zhen then replied, "Ai, I know that brother Pei is busy lately. But going out and have some fun occasionally can be good for you. Not only do you get a good opportunity to let off some steam, you can exchange knowledge with other people and make more friends.”

“I’ve heard that there was going to be an upcoming literary event, and I think brother Pei should attend.” He retrieved an invitation and handed it over to Pei Zi Yun, who paused momentarily before taking it and reading its contents. 

“It seems like there is an event organized by the county’s Elementary Scholars, and they invited all worthy students to participate and have fun. This was a tradition upheld by the Elementary Scholars of the county.” Pei Zi Yun wanted to accept the invitation but glanced over at Tang Zhen who was smiling. A wave of uneasiness crept over him as his heart seemed to flutter. He thought to himself, ‘If this were any other normal literary event, it would be fine. But after the commotion at the Silver Dragon Temple, and if rumors could be trusted, Tang Zhen is now an outer disciple under Zhang Jie Yu. I’m afraid Tang Zhen isn't the simple scholar he once was.’

With suspicion in his heart, he looked at Tang Zhen once more, ‘He looks pale and his eyes give off a strange look. It seemed like he’s been drinking more than he should be, and had recently been rescued from his alcoholic tendencies. In the short span of time that we’ve drifted apart, he’s returned with an invitation. Is there something up his sleeve?’

With these thoughts in mind, another thought from the original owner entered his brain as well.

The original owner had wasted five years of his life before barely reaching Elementary Scholar status. Since the original owner had taken a longer time to become an Elementary Scholar, he had missed this particular event altogether. No wonder he had no recollection of this event happening.


In the county, there was a youth of the Jin household, whose name was Ji Xing. Although he was still young now, he would become an Elementary Scholar in three years time after which he would meet Zhang Jie Yu. Apparently he would go on to compose many great poems. 


Jin Ji Xing would go on to participate in the Elementary Scholar literary event but for some reason would offend the Mentor and cause his Elementary Scholar status to be cancelled out. A few months later, he would be found, drowned. 

As these thoughts flooded his mind, Pei Zi Yun smiled and nodded his head, "May I ask how many people will be present at the event? 
Tang Zhen paused, before rattling out a few names. It seemed that they were all names of popular students. Pei Zi Yun was apprehensive, ‘This event turns out to be rather lively. Looks like the original owner did have some impression of the event despite not being there. The people mentioned by Tang Zhen showed up in the original owner’s time and will show up here as well!’

‘What is he trying to do?’

According to the diary and the original owner’s memory, Zhang Jie Yu was a cultivator of Holy Jail Sect. There had been clear proof connecting the sect to the bandits. Furthermore the commotion at the temple cause some trouble. Could this be a ploy for revenge?

If he declined, another malicious plan might hatched, and quite possible one that he couldn’t thwart and he would lose the upper hand. He smiled and said, "Since everyone’s going to be there, how can I miss it?”

“Fantastic!” Tang Zhen was all smiles, "Brother Pei is such a spontaneous person!”

“Then it’s settled.” As he said that, Tang Zhen said his goodbyes. Pei Zi Yun nodded his head, stood up and saw him out.

After he left, Pei Zi Yun’s expression turned cold. The rain was gradually receding but the sky was still overcast. He retrieved the sword hanging on the wall before leaving his house.

Elementary Scholars were permitted to carry a sword with them, therefore he kept his sword in its sheath unconcealed, as a proof that he was armed. Most of the Elementary Scholars carried it for show, and weren’t proficient with it, but Pei Zi Yun was different. 


Pei Zi Yun had been reciting the mantras from the manuals. Although he didn't have any spiritual abilities and thus was unable to enter the Dao, he was physically strong. The sword techniques in the manual were designed for entry into the Dao Sect. But as a form of martial arts, it has increased his skills by leaps and bounds.

In the light drizzle, Tang Zhen got onto an oxcart as it hurriedly departed.

Pei Zi Yun followed closely behind, with a sigh in his heart. Thankfully it was just an oxcart, if he had rode a horse instead, there would have been no way to catch up with him. It seems like this Tang Zhen does indeed have a guilty conscious. He was very cautious and edgey, sticking his head out of the carriage regularly to see if anyone had been following him. Only after he felt safe did he order the carriage to proceed.

The first time Tang Zhen looked back, Pei Zi Yun was caught off guard and thus was almost discovered. With this as a warning, Pei Zi Yun didn't dare to go too close and hung back far behind. 

His heart was growing increasingly suspicious.

The Protagonist. Who are they? They are the main character of a story. The protagonist is at the center of the story, makes the key decisions, and experiences the consequences of those decisions. 

Eroge. 

What is an eroge? Well, find out for yourself.

In most Eroge, the protagonist's parents are usually absent. Why would they never show up?

That is because if they are (absent), they can't have the protagonist's sister or childhood friend wake him up in the morning, or to make it easy for a girl to sneak into his room. Simply just anything to suit the writer's convenience.

Though in some cases, the parents would accept it as the norm. Just like you see in anime or manga.

Reasons are presented such as the parents are working overseas or he is living in a dorm, away from his parents. 

There are even some instances where the parents themselves don't exist in the first place.

That's a bit extreme if you think about it. Surely questions such as, "How was he born if his parents don't exist?" would be brought up.

Well, the scriptwriter will think of a way that doesn't really make sense to get away with it.

Anyways, the protagonist is a man that is living in an environment that has a lot of unique circumstances.

There's also a special ability exclusive to Eroge protagonists called the [Eroge Protagonist Correction].

Now don't ask me why it's called that. Someone had to come up with a term for it right? 

Anyways, for example, the protagonist who cross-dresses and goes to an all-girl school. Why doesn't anyone notice that? It is so obvious to the extent it makes you think that he would be found out ages ago if there wasn't some kind of special power helping him out.

You might even pull out your hair and become bald while screaming "How the hell did they not find out?!" from all these events that somehow don't expose him.

There are a lot of times where the protagonist is supposed to be exposed, like when the protagonist came running with a big stride in physical education class but his wig still doesn't come off.

Why does it easily come off so suddenly with just so much as a little brush from the heroine? Well, it couldn't be helped since he was fighting with the heroine huh.

Although we deviated a little from the main subject, the thought that a man attends an all-girl school while cross-dressing is already an abnormal setting, a normal person wouldn't be able to wrap their head around that.

However, this is just an ordinary event in the Eroge World, even if you are not an expert in Eroge you can still immerse in the story without discomfort. Those who would feel such a sense of wrongness would be only just those novice that just got introduced to an Eroge.

On another point, the fact that the protagonist is so popular with the girl might be one of the powers of his [Eroge Protagonist Correction].

For example, the protagonist is always surrounded by a beautiful sight.

A beautiful little sister or sister-in-law who would call him Onii-chan. A beautiful childhood friend who even though you didn't ask, would come to wake you up early in the morning every day then proceed to flip your futon without permission only to witness your morning wood and send you flying with a slap. 

A talented, well-dressed student council president with strict looks who suddenly turns meek in an ero-scene. Or even a teacher who should already have graduated from university but no matter how you look, she still looks like an elementary school kid. For one reason or another, they all lust after a boy with little to no redeeming feature aside from the fact that he is a little kind. 

Be that as it may, the only abnormal one here was not only the protagonist, even the heroines are abnormal.

In reality, you wouldn't find a woman who has such a surprising high fighting power who just happened to be a ninja falling for you or a housewife who already has a child in high school but still looks younger than even her own daughter, a heroine that looks like an elementary schooler no matter which angle you look at her from.

However, no matter how young they looked, before the game starts there would be a disclaimer stating that "All of the individuals in this game are of the age of 18 or above" that made all the gentlemen (Eroge players) able to zealously perform their self-stimulation with a peace of mind.

To put it in a word, An Eroge's world is a special world that commonsense can not be applied to.

If you have entered such a world and you are the protagonist then there wouldn't be a problem. (Except for some games)

The protagonist is the center of the world and because of that, you will definitely become popular.

"This is weird, This is definitely weird...."

The me that is reflecting in the mirror right now, he is me but also not me. No, the reflection moved as I move but the body I see is not mine, saying it that way would be more accurate.

The face in front of me… "Who is this? This unseemingly handsome face?"

"Was there a character like this?" I wondered as I stared at the reflection in the mirror.

What? Did I become an eroge character?

What? I'm just a regular mob character?

Why does my face look different?

This is all wrong!!!

It was cold.
 The strong winter breeze kissed the child's delicate skin, sending shivers down his back, as he travel to a place of hope. A place of learning and growth: Elementary school.
 Adults in thick linen and scarves lined at the school gates as they await their children's dismissal for the winter break. 
 The child felt envious.
 He glanced at the paintings that he made on broken planks of wood, hoping that he'll sell some for supper. Hands shaking and stomach grumbling, he approached the aisle of parents and asked each and everyone of them one by one to consider his art.
 The paintings he made wasn't really magnificent. But for a child at his age, they were extraordinary. Adults took a glance at this work, then turned. 
 A loud sound was suddenly heard. The bell. 
 The gates were pushed open, unleashing an ocean of children, running towards their parents above the thick snow.
 The child smiled. Would they want to play with me? He thought.
 He approached some. But what the parents are, are also the child. Not a single one of them paid attention to him. The cold air drizzled around his body and the cold atmosphere encapsulated his heart.
 He wanted to leave that place. And so he did. He tried. Before he could take a step, a hand pulled the hem of his shirt, stopping him from walking away. 
 A hand of a student. Approximately at the same age as him. "What?" he asked. "Aren't you s-selling those?" the student asked, pointing at the painting that the child had made. "Yes."
 "I'd like to buy that one," the student pointed at the painting of a cat, looking at the moon. "How much would you give me for it?"
 "I don't r-really have m-much, but I have this c-coin," he showed a coin. "What's this? It looks different than a normal coin. It's even thicker than usual. Is this worth anything?" the child interrogated.
 "Uhm, uh. You c-could just say no if you don't w-want it," the student replied.
 He thought for a moment. He knew that the coin might give him nothing. But a part of him wanted the feeling of someone, appreciating his work. He agreed and the student left happily with the painting.
