Chaos School was an educational institution under the Gray Temple. It consisted of two sections—primary section and secondary section. Children went to either of the two sections based on their age and skills.
Students between 5 to 12 years old were educated at the primary section. They would study rudimentary knowledge, common language, arithmetic, etc.
Meanwhile, their special talents and skills would also be developed there, like magic skills, observing skills, calculating skills… Prior to entering the secondary section, they would be tested first, and those who passed the test would gain the right to receive further education at the secondary section.

After they graduated from the secondary section, most of them would join the Gray Temple. Their skills and loyalty would become the fresh blood in maintaining the governance of the Gray Temple.
Mag wasn’t averse to this educational system, because every graduate had the right to choose whether to join the Gray Temple or not.
Of course, they had to pass another test first. It reminded him of the civil service system in his previous life.
The best thing about the Chaos School was probably that it was the first to bring knowledge to the city.
The interaction between species had promoted the integration of human language and elf language, and thus the common language had appeared and become widely used.
Yet it wasn’t easy for other species to master this language, so even Haga, a chief’s son, was barely able to use the common language to communicate.
The primary section of the Chaos School received over 1,000 students each year, and the yearly tuition was only 5 gold coins, which was a lot less than other schools’ tuition fee—at least 50 gold coins a year.
Moreover, students from different species studied together in the Chaos School. It was very common for a human child to sit next to a demon, an elf, a dwarf, or a troll, which was a unique scene that one could only find here, in Chaos City.
After a hundred years of development, Chaos City had achieved peace and harmony, and all of this would be impossible without the Gray Temple and the Chaos School. When two people from different species met on the road, they might recognize each other as classmates or schoolmates, so the hatred faded gradually.
And the people here had a much higher educational level. They also contributed a lot to the peace here.
Mag and Amy were standing at the gate of this large Chaos School, and school was not over yet. An old man and a big orc standing at the gate had declined their request to enter. They had to contact Luna after school, and only then they could enter.
Amy glanced at the grim-faced orc and tugged at Mag’s clothes. “Father, we can sneak in,” she said quietly.
Mag was taken by surprise. “Sneak in?”
Amy nodded. “Yes. There is a secret passage. I have used it many times.”
“I know which classroom Teacher Luna is in. This way, Father.” She grabbed Mag’s finger and walked to the left quickly.
The teaching buildings were built of stone and wood, two-storied, and had walls made of black square stones. The roofs and second floors were made of wood. There were windows in two walls to let in as much sunlight as possible.
The sound of students’ reading came floating out of every building. All the teaching buildings had been painted sky blue and grass green, looking lively and fresh. Some walls had children’s paintings on them—paintings of different cultures. Such a harmonious sight!

“Maybe you’re right.” The sound of children’s reading put Mag in a good mood.
Amy nodded. “Me too. I’m super excited.” Then she put a finger on her lips as she pointed to the building nearby. “Teacher Luna teaches in this classroom. Let’s get closer quietly.”
Mag nodded and said nothing. He stepped softly and followed Amy slowly to the window.
Below the windowsill were two black rocks. Amy hesitated a moment and stepped on them. Now she was just as high as the windowsill.
Luna’s voice came out of the classroom. It was such a sweet and comfortable voice that it could easily attract children’s attention.
Amy listened attentively, her eyes shining in excitement.
“Meow…” the kitten cried out.
