Master Of None-Chapter 2757. Education first

It was easy to see those who liked this idea and those who did not. In terms of rulers, this idea was catching their interest. They had ideas about the ways that Genesis would expand education for various races since merchants had been bringing books already. However, in some kingdoms like the human kingdom, books were considered expensive. Or in the demi-human kingdom, books were only considered valuable if they were related to training in battle.

It was just about the cultures themselves and how they put value to a book. If it were another kingdom the reasoning would change, let alone if it was a race living within the elemental panes. Some of those races might not even see a benefit in having a book whatsoever since they did not even live near the races mentioned in it. The chances that someone from the elemental planes was to meet one of the races in such a book was so low that they might go their entire life without even seeing or hearing rumors about them.

The nibbles behind their king on the human side seemed to be a little rattled. They had their own beliefs of what should be done in terms of education. The fact that Genesis had plans to create an academy that had teachers from guilds and other kingdoms was already hard to accept. Yet, now they were trying to place a control of how to teach the young even outside of Genesis?

To them, that sounded like Genesis was trying to overtake the power of the king and the nobles of their nation.

However, there were those who saw this as a valuable usage of the investment put in to Genesis. The world was not at war, there were races who became whole again, saved themselves from darkness, or generally had finally opened up to the world outside of themselves. All these things meant that there was an immense gap to fill in understanding. This would help the younger generations in surviving the world they were born in to rather than the world that their parents knew their whole lives.

"I would like to hear more about this. What exactly would we be able to gain by letting them in our city? Will they be saleable to share crafting knowledge with our children?Magic? What about rune carving?" The king of the surface had been silent for the entire time. The dwarves behind him and the king of the deep were high ranked guards who could command many dwarven golems with very little movement to show to cause their armies to move. They had a strong presence.

"It is about culture. There will be knowledge about the dwarven people’s history, why they have three kings to represent the different aspects of their people. How they delve in to the darkest caverns to bring forth materials not seen by light and forge it in to the the greatest weapons or homes known to the world. It will tell of the elves and their love for their homes in nature, how they become one with it. It will speak of the goblin race and its struggle to properly become an intelligent race standing equal despite that being stolen from them in the past."

Walker knew he was the center of the conversation. He wasn’t holding back and made it very clear that knowledge about skills and classes or techniques would not be the goal of these thirty scholars. "The goal is not to influence others about how to do something or what path to follow. It is to introduce races that they have never met or seen. Please understand, this is not just for your children, but for those with curiosity and desire to come here or work with other races in the future."

"I would welcome them. I have sent my farmers to educate others about the best practices to feed a people even in times of hardship. I wish to know of the other races more closely. Why an elf carries a bow no matter their affinity? Why the echidna are so careful with nature. Why the harpies race one another while flying higher and higher." King Rorick spoke up. He knew this would diversify his people from their youngest age.

"I would like to share my people’s struggles. The reason why we split and how we reunited." The forest elf queen did not show any sign that her words were more or less of what she said. She genuinely wished to tell the story. It was a place of pride and woe for all elves. Something that was a fact of who they were and would always influence them.

"If we can learn about all the races we now see daily, I would be very glad to support it. Many humans have lived blindly as if we are the only race looking at the world. What if we began larger programs and supported education in these ways? What sort of world would we be able to live in?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

It sounded like the rulers were taking their stances. "I already saw the young learning. They can read, write, and even find their own paths younger than any I have seen before. Genesis is one of my homes and will be that until the day I pass my pickaxe on to the next king of the deep caves." With both dwarven kings in agreement, the meeting shifted to how well the basic education was going. How much of a difference had already been made thus far.

The conversation did drift back to the other races outside of the world and what training would be kept for the lowest standards of travel to the weakest outer areas of the elemental planes in turn. It was clinical and many of the attendants who were not needed left to work on trade, exploration of the city, or general quests from their leaders.

By the time they finished the meeting, the four rulers had decided to have a meal alone to allow for their arrangements outside of Genesis to be organized. With the changes in the world the wilderness areas being mapped would need to be kept closely observed for safety. Since they had all bordered some of these places, they wished to be able to see the grand mapping hall and learn more while relaxing a bit. Walker didn’t need to be there but he found the young princess ready for the very thing she had wished to see the most.

"I promised you a tour of the magic tower base didn’t I?" her head bobbed in excitement. She didn’t seem to say too much but he could tell the many thoughts racing through her mind. "That will also bring us to the library and grand archive. I would say that you could read ten books a day and still find yourself lacking to keep up with the new books brought in or copied."

Her face crinkled and the king gave a small smile before leaving. He knew that Walker would more than take care of his daughter. Walker treated every child and citizen with the same respect and kindness. But the look she gave him was like he had just insulted her in every way possible. "I will read them all if they are about magic." Her determined response made Walker laugh. The other just glanced over knowing that Walker might have a little more work in store for himself now.

Without anything else holding him back, he offered his hand to the little princess and stepped forward. She didn’t expect it, but Walker had used space magic to teleport them a short distance outside of the building and right in front of the magic tower. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head since she had suddenly been surrounded by the magic and mana she loved the most. The colors and flow of mana she saw was something she could barely comprehend in comparison to the wisps she had seen before.

"If you want to learn even more about space magic, you should consider how it is affecting all things around us. You can make someone teleport by gathering a higher density of any mana, but it is not balanced and requires a proper exchange. But using space mana and allowing it to guide you to where you wish to be, it will carry you there properly. It might not be the grand form of teleportation that brings you across continents, but it is very unique."

The princess tried to speak but her eyes were moving back and forth in awe. She couldn’t get her senses calmed enough to respond. She might have developed faster because of her unique traits but that wasn’t enough to really break her away from the fact that she was still a child. This was a wonderful event that she had never expected or experienced before.
