Living and Learning

After the news of the war, a month had passed, and with that, I was finally able to finish kindergarten and go to graduation.

It was very similar to William's graduation, with the difference that Katerine was also there, so it ended up being messier than usual.

Poor thing, she was euphoric, saying that she would never have to go to school again. Little does she know that she still has a long way to go... I think.

School education does not seem to be very developed, at least for peasants. Peasants normally go to school when they are children and do not go to school until they are 10 years old.

Daycare is easy to manage. You don't need someone with average or advanced knowledge to teach; you don't need a very large place, and you don't need a lot of teaching materials, so daycare tends to be the most common means of education in villages.

After daycare comes preparatory school, which goes from 6 to 10 years old. It's basically an elementary education. Because it needs people more capable of working, it is almost impossible to find a village where there is such a school.

Those who study in preparatory schools are the nobles, as they have to pay to study. But, these schools, just as the name says, are preparatory, so they are not essential for joining an academy.

From what I read in different books, the scientific and technological knowledge of this world is between the Middle Ages and the Modern Age of my old world. I was never a fan of history in my old world, but I have a little idea about it.

Academies are places where students perfect what they want to do as a profession, in addition to gaining more knowledge with professional support from teachers and masters.

I would say that academies are like colleges. To enter them, you need to take tests and exams, and depending on your score, you enter.

That's why most who study at academies are nobles, as they already take the test in preparation for school.

The most sought-after academies are Skylar and Voel, and to enter there requires a lot of dedication, even from the nobles, because to enter the academy, you need to take tests, which means that the nobles need to compete with each other to enter.

Those who suffer from all this are the poorest, i.e., the majority of the population.

If it is already difficult for nobles to enter Skylar's Academy with all the privileges, it is almost impossible for peasants.

Academies and Magic Academies are different places. Magic academies focus on subtly studying magic and mana, giving less priority to other subjects, and preparing the student to be a mage or swordsman.

Normal gyms tend to pay attention to each area of this world. Geography, history, science, etc. The more you know, the more likely you are to get a job. This is the focus of the teaching academy.

Now that I've graduated from kindergarten, I think the natural path is to try to get into the Magic Academy.

There is no need to enter a preparatory school. In these schools, they prepare you for the academy entrance exam.

The tests are carried out in the usual way.

Magic academies do a test and a physical test. Therefore, there will not be many questions involving classical school subjects. You will probably have questions about magic.

Well, anyway, I still have a lot of time to prepare for Skylar's test, so I guess now it's not a problem.

After graduation, two months passed, and another year passed. Consequently, my 6th birthday came.

In this tricky life, another year's gone; watch out, ladies, I'm moving on.

During the second month of the year, Mr. Titi once again passed through the village, throwing newspapers into the air.

What can it be now?
