Based under a mountain, the town of Roulimar was a home to many races, including demon race. and led by Lord Ragna Le Mat. The town itself looked beautiful, with its birch wood rooftops, granite walls accompanied with its view stunning mountain on the north, deep woods on the east, yellow dessert on the west, and blue sea on the south.

The main attraction was the Rula plantation, which was built 20 years ago and designed by the dwarf king himself.

Roulimar had an advancing economy, which was mainly supported by Rula agricultural, Rula wine, trading, animal breeding and baking. But Roulimar most well-known products were numbers of high skilled adventurers that originated from this town. However, because of this Roulimar lacked young people in general.

*****

As young Raj still grounded for the whole month, cleaning the floor, jealously looking at Ruby who was curiously playing with Cerberus, while Rose and the other servants building the wall back. Ragna and Rexar, headed toward a U shaped building. From the outside, this building looked old. It had been built with wheat colored bricks and has brown brick decorations. Small, half rounded windows brighten up the house and have been added to the house in a mostly asymmetric way.

The second floor was smaller than the first, which allowed for a roof garden on two sides of the house and had a slightly different style than the floor below. The roof was high and slanted to one side and was covered with seagrass. One small chimney sat at the side of the house. There were no windows on the roof.

'I thought this is an orphanage." Said Rexar while looking around.

"Eh... yes, this was an orphanage until your mother suddenly realized that we had no school. Since the building is big enough and there weren't that many orphans in this city, she decided to make this place as a school. Though the problem is once the kids able to read and calculate, they stopped coming." Said Ragna.

As they were talking outside, a hunched figure cloaked in black with a walking cane and purple haired nun came out from the orphanage and greeted Ragna party.

"Lord Ragna." The hunched figure spoke with a hoarse voice and nodded at Ragna. "What kind of business that brings Lord Ragna here?"

"Oh, granny Huberta, long time no see." Rexar slightly nodded to the hunched figure that also known as Huberta.

After Rexar spoke, Huberta put her cloak down, showing off her grey hair. Her grey eyes were staring at Rexar for maybe three whole seconds before the corners of her mouth raised into a smile and her eyes quit staring. She turned to the purple haired nun, her brilliant smile turned into a mischievous one. "Oh my, oh my look whose come Semestra, what a fine young man you have become Rexar."

"Yes, granny, I recognized him on the first sight." Said Semestra.

"So, can I drop the act? what kind of business that brings these many people? *Gasp* Don't tell me that Rexar wants to propose to Semestra? Kekeke" Said Huberta, followed by her signature creepy laugh. Though, trough out Huberta teasing, Semestra figure and expression stayed proper while replied Huberta with a complicated smile.

"Eh... actually you should stop that kind of act, granny. Speaking of which, Rexar here has an idea about making the school working again." Said Ragna.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

"Kekeke, this is the first time Rexar visit on that last four years and he is already doing a business? don't you have something else? Right young man? Kekeke." Huberta elbow was pushing Semestra waist the entire time she spoke.

"Granny, please stop teasing him." Said Semestra "Ah, how rude of us, please come in. I'll prepare some drink."

They sat on wooden chairs in a small and square room. The window was cracked, allowing a faint but pleasant smell of moisture into the room. The walls had the same wheat color, some of the stones were beginning to crack and chipped.

On a long wooden table, cups of tea and a bunch of paper were prepared. Some kids were peeping from the entrance.

"Eh... Granny, should I repair the walls?" Asked Ragna while looking at the cracked part.

"Kekeke, don't need to do that, that crack happens because the brats were playing soccer inside of the house. Anyway, speaking of the schools, what is your idea young man?" Said Huberta.

"Before I speak, may I know the procedure from the previous school?" Said Rexar.

"Three hour class, five times a week. Though this was only lasted for about a few months before the kid starting to get bored." Said Semestra.

"I see.. then how about making it so they can come and study anytime they want? but the problem will be... no, no before that we should be getting the children interest, then.... No... how about we do it like... No, no..." Said Rexar

" *Ahem* We can't read your mind Rexar." Said Ragna.

"Ah, sorry father. I'm thinking about making a free time school, like if there is a kid that wanted to read, the teacher should've taught them to read. If they don't want to do it again then its fine. Though, there are a few problems, like how to keep the children interest and the manpower itself. I have quite a few ideas, something about teaching them outside of the class, or maybe teach them some combat art and magic but..." As Rexar looking to his father.

"Eh.. you are worried about Zack? Well, if he wants to teach the little kid than that will be fine. As for magic, maybe us and few other servants can teach that. Oh, and Semestra can use some magic too, right?" Said Ragna. 

"Yes, Lord Ragna, though it is only some healing spells and the daily magic." Said Semestra.

"but I personally disagree with that idea, not only we don't know whether or not we are qualified to teach a magic, teaching magic to a child itself like giving them a fire. Just looked at Raj." Said Ragna with a smile on his face.

"Then, how about only teaching them mana control and sensing mana? that way, they'll be prepared. Still, this is the hard part, unless they are talented or blessed, like Raj and Ruby, I don't think most of the kid will be happy to spend their days, meditating." Said Rexar.

As the snoring of an old woman that had been sleeping since the word 'Three hours a day' became louder, and the light was fading, they stopped their conversation without reaching on a conclusion.

********

Later at dinner.

As Raj and his family indulged in their dinner, One family member; Rexar, kept scribbling at the paper without touching his food. 

"*Ahem* Rexar, put your quill down." Said Rose after the rest of the family already finished their foods.

"Ah, yes. Sorry mother."

Rexar, quickly ate his food while kept looking through the stack of paper, not less than five minutes he finished his food, all except the one Raj kept staring the whole time.

Young Raj, slowly walking to his brother with his watery mouth. "Hey, brother, do you need something else? do you need another copy of that book? do you want any help? how about a massage?" Said Raj while clinging to Rexar's leg.

Rexar, smiling toward Raj and rubbed his head. "No~ I'm fine."

"Then... can I eat that?!" Said Raj while pointing to the creamy pudding.

"Oh? You want it?" Rexar about to handing the pudding to Raj, but something crossed his mind and he stopped his hand on the mid-air; Raj's expression changed from a happy one to sour one. 

"Raj, Let's say... how about you take some book from my room and I'll give you the pudding?" Said Rexar.

Without saying a word, Raj instantly running toward the Rexar room

"Ah! maybe this can be used. Damn, I'm already old eh." Said Rexar while he heading toward somewhere else.

And from out of nowhere, Ruby walked to the dining room "Brother, can I borrow your book? Eh? Where is he?" Seeing that there was a whole pudding, sitting still on the table. "Oh~ How lucky~ the second round~" She ate it with a one gulped.
