1435 Time To Leave!
The days took off like a hurricane, with many weeping with joy, sorrow, and other emotions.
"I did it! I got accepted to study law!"
"Awesome! You are now looking at the next great pretending to face the world!"
"I... I can't believe I've been accepted into the Arts, Entertainment & Beauty academy. This... This is too much of a dream!"
"Woooo~... I failed to enter the Management & Teaching Academy."
"Dammit! How could I have made such a blunder? Now I won't be able to enter the Academy of Hert, Weather & Atmospheric science!"
....
Whether it was the Baymardians themselves or the foreigners, people were still talking about their results about these public academies.
And maybe the most popular public academy was the Management &Teaching Academy.
There, they would not only be taught management skills that are popular in this world. But it was also said that these skills were somewhat refined too.
Additionally, one could specialize in being secretaries, front desk service helpers, amd just every other job involved with customer service.
Knowing how to make one's customer happy was a great skill that any business should have.
Plus, they would be shown various efficient ways to manage and even start up businesses, learning about what to do with the capital they acquired, how to create cumulative tracks of everything they did, and seeing what corners and risks were worth it or not.
In short, it was mostly about business.
So how could people not be interested?
Almost everything in this world revolved around trade. Whether one was a fish seller, a fisherman, a cook or even a hotel runner, or even a farmer.
And many ordinary folks in these medieval times just entered business and trades without even overthinking.
Some got cheated after selling grains, others lost money and ended up as slaves, while many more went into debt.
They were ignorant, and there was no one to show them the ropes.
Even the rich were greedy, not wanting to see those below them blossom.
So when Baymard began this Academy, many across the continent were scrambling to get in.
.
Things were truly rough.
The entrance quota was fixed, with some getting waitlisted to the next academy session.
And because of the rush and the high volume of examinees that came in frequently, the Academy had long continued to expand.
This academy was the most popular academy of them all.
No academy could beat its volume of examiners that came in often.
Of course, apart from ordinary business management, the academy also taught a lot about 'waste management.'... Though as a minor elective.
And because of this knowledge, many assisted other empires in handling waste and keeping the place clean.
Though all recyclables were sent back to Baymard... That's what they were taught to do with recyclables.
And bottles also got sent back.
For this, no one even needed to teach them what to do because depending on the size of the bottles... for every 8 bottles they sent back, they would be given a copper coon for them.
And now, within the many empires, there were waste management stations where people could exchange bottles for money.
Many ordinary folks saw this as a way to make a quick buck when in dire need of money.
And now, no one dared to throw bottles around.
They looked at the bottles as though looking at money.
Some even joked that if they were ever robbed, they wouldn't feel too panicked but go around the cities and streets looking for bottles.
And you know, depending on the bottle's size and weight, the amount given to them would be higher.
.
It should be noted that bigger bottles like campaign bottles were different from ordinary ones.
All these things were in their eyes.
In the end, Waste management in the academy was taken seriously, but those who planned to work with the government's waste management department in their empires.
Yes!
Now job opportunities have opened up, and many are getting employed.
When talking about waste... It was also linked with hygiene.
So they were told what to do about standing apostles of infected green water that probably stood there for long attracting flies.
Everything about waste, from rotting food to stagnant waters, stream maintenance, was covered.
And last but not least, the academy also taught others to specialize in the teaching profession.
There were many teachers in this world.
Being a teacher was a noble profession. And bettering one's skills on this was also a remarkable feat.
All in all, Baymard's public academies were very popular.
Similarly, the private Ma like the medical & Health academy, the Baymardian Institute of Science & Engineering, and many others were also hot cakes in these times.
Even those wanting to enter the Police Academy, Navy, Coastguards, and barracks felt itchy.
Indeed... These past days have been very turbulent.
And now, it was all simmering down with the official entrance examination week finally over.
Many who failed chose to stay back and prepare for the next entrance session 3~4 months later.
Others chose to leave, planning to return next year.
And as for those who succeeded, next semester for most academies started around August 15th~20th.
It was already the first week of June.
So they had a little over 2 months to prepare themselves and settle whatever they needed to do before school resumed.
All these public academies had a residence in the schools.
So for those who wanted to apply to live in school, they had to register now.
But while things were quenching down for most people, Landon's situation was different.
.
--Royal Baymardian Palace, Capital City.--
Seated in his office were 12 men and women, some who were Warrant officers, while others were First Lieutenants and Navy captains
And of course, Lucy and 3 others from her side were also there.
Everyone had serious expressions on their faces.
"Your majesty, all food preparation has been completed."
"Report! All ships ready to go!"
Landon listened to their reports one by one.
"Good. It looks like everything is prepared as per schedule. So, are the men ready?"
"Affirmative, sir!"
"Good! Then we leave tonight!"
