Chapter 5 - School

Triss is already now 7 years old. The only thing he was doing until now was sleeping, helping his mom, playing with his toys or going on errands by himself. Emma didn't have any insecurity of sending Triss to errands as the place they were living was actually well protected. Also one of the shop for buying daily groceries was nearby their house.

When he started doing errands for his mom that he learnt about the currency of the kingdom of Derole. Starting with 1 Ro ( half a dollar) and 1 Ero equivalent to 100 Ro's ( 50 dollar). Ro's are made out of copper coins while Ero's are in the form of notes and gold coin.

The average middle class family earns monthly is upto 8 to 14 Ero's. His dad earns upto 10 to 12 Ero's monthly. His monthly salary is included from both the land and his job as a supervisor. From this they are maintaining themselves as middle class family.

Other than doing errands,he has nothing to do. Because there is no one at his age in the street, where they are living. Well there are two 11 years old and one 12 years old but they attend school.

The government has made mandatory for all children to join school at the age of 7 to learn all the basics before joining academy or other facilities. Even nobles are not exempt from this rule. The school itself is free to attend as it is funded by the government itself. Here in the school children learn the history of the kingdom, the basics of mathematics, geography etc.

The children must attend school till they turn 13. Obviously after that children can join other various academy, facilities or military training etc.

Well obviously some nobles didn't like that their children as to attend govt school along with commoners, so there is also school's called noble school, basically it's funded by nobles rather than government. Although government school itself maintain high standards, the staffs and everything can rival noble school, still nobles make their children join prestige school in order to maintain distance from commoners, peasants and likewise.

Only some low ranking nobles or other nobles make their children join govt school in special occasions like financial problems etc. As those noble school puts burden on their finances or other things.

There are 32 govt school and 4 noble school. Total of 36 school's in the city of Dextro.

Emma wanted Triss to start learning at home itself at age of 6, well to get good grades and all when he attends school. But Triss didn't agree, because he was lazy. Although if other people were reincarnated in his position, they might have already started learning. Well obviously what would they do, for 7 years they have nothing to do. But Triss was not like others, he just wants to be lazy.

Still in order to reassure his parents he had told them that when he starts attending school he would get first position in every aspect. Well he is lazy genius. And also children of his age can't hold candle towards him, as he is a graduated university student and also genius in his previous life.

...

Sun started rising and bathed the city of Dextro with its glow. Today was Monday and also the day where Triss will attend the nearest govt school. " Triss, wake up today is your first day for the school. Always lazy Huh.. my boy i said wake up" Emma started waking up Triss who still sleeping soundly in his room. " Huh mom just 5 more minutes, there is still 2 more hour time right. Please..." Triss pleaded while blanketing his face.

After hearing Triss, Emma suddenly pulled his blanket and told "No, i don't want you to be late. Now come get ready yourself. I have already prepared breakfast." She pulled his blanket and made him stand up.

" Huh mom, there was still 2 hours." He complained but Emma didn't listen to him and made him wash his face.

Triss soon woke up completely who was still in daze, and started wearing uniform which was provided for him, when had they had gone to make his admission for the school. He combed his Black hair and stood infront of mirror mumbling " As always i am handsome huh. Well obviously i might be a MC so i should have good features. This neon blue eyes is worthy for me." He started to self esteem his facial features.

Emma who had already prepared breakfast called Triss, as Gary had some important matters to attend regarding Shop so he had already left without eating anything.

Soon Triss came and started eating, while Emma prepared everything that was needed for Triss in school. After his breakfast there was still 1 hour left, as school would open at 10 AM.

Emma started preparing herself to send Triss to school. Both of them traveled for about 20 min and they had reached school.

...

At the first day of the school nothing really happened as all students were sent to their respected class, where a teacher took attendance, and self introduced herself to students. After that she started speaking with some students, as it was first day of children attending school while leaving house some were crying while some children made friends with other's.

Triss and 2 other students were actually sleeping in their first day, although teacher glanced at them but didn't speak anything. As it was the first day of school, staff had already Announced to their parents to pick their children at 1 Pm.

Emma also came to pick Triss, soon both of them met with each other and started walking towards home. While walking, Emma started asking Triss questions regarding school while Triss answered. " Triss did you make any friends."

As she asked this question Triss didn't know how to answer as he was only sleeping in the class because teacher gave free time for them. He started pondering about the question and replied " hmm.. yes, although we didn't talk so long but we asked each other names. His name was John. He was a nice guy and has same habit as mine." Although he hadn't spoken, but he heard his name as he was sitting beside him. Also the habit was also true, as he was also sleeping.

After hearing Triss, Emma laughed lightly and spoke " Is the habit of your friend is sleeping or being lazy huh. Make friends, but don't get involved into bad habits ok." As they were talking they soon reached home.

Triss went to his room and started changing his dress, which was already drenched in sweat.
