Chapter 479

Although the school is now divided into several grades, in reality, the school does not restrict what students study.

As long as their grades meet the required standards, they can even skip grades without any issue.

After junior high school, students can start selecting and specializing in various fields.

Then comes high school.

However, high school knowledge is too complex to be learned quickly.

It requires time and patience.

As for university?

It hasn't been established yet.

Basically, by the time students reach high school, they will have already learned a great deal.

Perhaps in the future, a university will be built.

Students who graduate from this school will receive a certificate.

If they graduate from high school, they can obtain the title of senior alchemist or senior artificer.

This system was designed by Zhongli.

A lot of knowledge is divided into three levels.

In the first to third grades of elementary school, students study cultural subjects such as literacy.

After the fourth grade, they begin learning alchemy and mechanics.

Once they enter junior high school, they choose specific subjects based on their interests and talents.

In other words, students specialize in a field according to their abilities.

Whether it's astrology, alchemy, mechanics, or another discipline, there are dedicated courses for each subject.

Upon completing junior high school, students receive an intermediate certificate.

After graduating from high school, they can earn an advanced certificate.

However, graduating is not easy.

Students must pass a rigorous examination.

The assessments for alchemy and mechanics are serious and challenging.

No room for jokes.

Klee and her friends could only start from the fifth grade.

If they learn quickly, they will be placed into specialized courses in junior high school.

Most likely, these girls will be placed into different classes.

Klee will definitely study alchemy.

Qiqi and Yaoyao will likely pursue pharmacology.

As for Sayu, she will probably study martial arts.

The school offers courses in that field as well.

This school has a vast curriculum.

Seeing that Klee had settled in, Takumi continued speaking:

"Klee, you should study hard here."

"Remember, don't cause trouble, understand?"

"Especially you, Klee. If you blow up anything, you will have to pay for it."

"You don't want to lose all your pocket money to the school, do you?"

"And, the principal of the school is Mr. Zhongli!"

Hearing this, Klee was stunned.

The principal is Zhongli?!

Klee knew very well who Zhongli was.

That's Morax, the Geo Archon!

Realizing this, Klee immediately became nervous.

Never play with bombs at school.

If she got caught, she'd have to pay.

Even though she had a lot of pocket money—after all, Takumi gave her a lot—she couldn't afford to keep paying compensation.

She still needed money to buy materials for making bombs.

How could she waste it on fines?

Thus, Klee made up her mind to be a good student!

Seeing that his warning had worked, Takumi nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, go to class now."

Takumi patted Klee's head before turning around and leaving.

He headed straight for Zhongli's office.

At that moment, Zhongli was drinking morning tea.

He was feeling overwhelmed and somewhat unhappy.

The biggest reason?

His money had been confiscated the previous night.

Since he had made a lot of money recently, it had become difficult to manage.

His house was now filled with more and more antiques.

Seeing Zhongli's extravagant behavior, someone in charge of his finances became upset and confiscated his money.

They even warned him:

If he continued to waste money on unnecessary things, he would have no place to stay in the house.

This left Zhongli feeling quite depressed.

Had Morax ever been treated like this before?

Sighing, Zhongli silently contemplated where to get more money.

"What if... I use school funds?"

Just as he muttered this thought, Takumi entered the room and overheard it.

Takumi's expression turned strange.

"Good grief!"

"Are you seriously thinking of embezzling public funds right in front of me?"

Shocked.

A retired Archon actually contemplating embezzlement?

Hearing Takumi's words, Zhongli was speechless.

"I was just thinking aloud."

"Don't take it seriously."

Would he really do such a thing?

Takumi smirked.

"You better not be serious, Principal Zhongli."

"Your financial management skills need improvement."

"By the way, where's your money?"

"Didn't you just receive a large sum from Childe?"

Curious, Takumi sat down.

Didn't Zhongli receive a hefty payment from Childe?

Takumi had even lifted the bounty on him because of that.

And now it was gone?

Hearing this, Zhongli fell into deep thought.

"It was taken away in the end."

After a long pause, that was all he could say.

Hearing this, Takumi burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

"I never thought I'd see the day!"

He genuinely found it amusing.

Zhongli's money was taken back?

Nice job!

Zhongli didn't want to continue the conversation.

Pouring a cup of tea for Takumi, he asked:

"What brings you here today?"

Hearing the question, Takumi chuckled.

"I brought Klee and the others to school."

"Alice wrote a letter saying Klee should attend."

"And I also brought Himeko here."

Hearing Alice's name, Zhongli's eyelid twitched.

That troublemaker!

Klee?

That little menace was in school now?

Hmm... looks like I need to reinforce the school's defenses.

Can't have Klee blowing it up.

Zhongli thought to himself.

"By the way, here are Himeko's textbooks."

"Take a look."

"I asked Nuwa to have copies made, and they'll be delivered this afternoon."

"Her courses are electives."

Hearing Takumi's words, Zhongli nodded and accepted the books.

He flipped through them curiously.

Reading the contents, Zhongli was slightly surprised.

A completely different approach to explaining the world?

Interesting.

He understood the material and found it impressive.

"Excellent."

"If these concepts are combined with mechanics, they could be even more effective."

"No wonder you brought her here."

Placing the books aside, Zhongli acknowledged the potential.

"Of course!"

"Next, I'll have Himeko organize her knowledge."

"Her world's technology is highly advanced."

"If we had their technology here..."

"We could conquer the world in minutes!"

A dangerous statement.

Zhongli sighed.

"Put away your dangerous thoughts."

Why such reckless ideas?

He was a peace-loving individual.

World domination was unnecessary.

Speaking of which... Zhongli looked at Takumi suspiciously.

Something seemed to have happened in Sumeru recently.

Was this guy involved?
