1550 A Great School!
Din. Din. Din. Din. Din.
On the warm sunny morning, a massive influx of people stormed into the Baymardian P.E.Jh Institute of Higher Education.
The abbreviation for P.E.Jh stood for Preschool, Elementary school (from Kindergarten, grade 1~5), and Junior High (Grade 6~9).
So massive!
Everyone's eyes lit up as they stared at their very massive surroundings.
Stepping in, one would first meet a massive roundabout with flowers and all shorts of bushes shaped and carved into letters.
Even the lawn was more than perfect, spelling the school name.
But this wasn't all.
Fountains, statues, stylish black street lights, and the many slabs and outdoor seats were also well positioned, making the place look more massive than It already was. And from a distance, one could also see that the buildings were designed differently too.
Cyprian and many felt the images captured by the portraits and pictures did no justice to seeing the actual site before them.
And yes... They had already done security checks before getting this far in.
As parents and relatives to those studying here, how can they not be pleased seeing this?
Good.
In these times when assassinations and murders were rampant, this much eased their worried hearts. And coming in, they hadn't seen a single student, except for the first years and newly accepted students who seemed to be having an organized tour.
From what they knew, this was still orientation week, though a majority of school classes had already begun.
It was now 9:23 A.M.
Typically, all classes begin at 8:30 A.M.
And on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, the students had morning assembly at 8 A.M.
.
"Welcome, guardians."
A welcoming and audible voice echoed out, calling everyone's attention,
The man wore black pants, a tie, and a gray shirt.
His hair was tied in a high ponytail, and his sleeve rolled up to his elbow neatly.
His voice was very calming, making many feel less tense than they already were.
How did he do it?
One minute they felt a choking force on them when stepping onto the site, and another minute, the man-made them chuckle with his few silly remarks.
He had mastered the ability to control the scene with his every word and action.
That is, they couldn't see through him at all. He only showed what he wanted them to see.
Instantly, many influential people's eyes lit up in acknowledgment. Even the common folks subconsciously gave the man respect without realizing it.
Was this the strength of Baymard's Institute? In that case, would their children learn such skills too?
The man spoke not too slow and not too fast, yet very entertainingly, with a certain charm that captivated them all.
One might think he looked yet. But they also felt a sudden wolf lurking within him.
Many of noble breed inwardly nodded, appreciating the man's talents.
Well, at least their children/relatives had such outstanding teachers to guide them during their time here.
.
With a broadened smile, the man clapped his hands as though ending his fun with them.
"Now then, it's almost time for the conference to begin. So please listen carefully."
At present they stood in the massive roundabout with the gigantic school fountain behind them.
This roundabout had 4 main roads branching off it that led to several other roads and pathways moving forward.
And as the man spoke, he gestured towards 3 of the main 4 roads branching off the Roundabout.
"All preschool guardians, please follow the path to my extreme left. And remember, do not branch off or stray away from the path."
There were over 20 different small roads that branched out along their way.
So if they took a wrong turn, they might head into the maze gardens, the sports fields, or someplace else.
Hmm...
Everyone nodded vigorously like obedient squirrels.
Who would want to be late or miss the conference because of their carelessness?
"Elementary school Guardians, please follow the 2nd Path till the end. And for Junior High Guardians, please follow the 3rd path in a similar manner."
Yes, yes...
"Thank you, sir." Many said respectfully, quickly meaning their way through the various paths shown.
.
Cyprian's children were both Elementary school ones.
And once again, Cyprian was blown away by how big this school was.
The roads all grew further and further apart, so much, with each region now having a distinct decorative aesthetic about them.
For example, the purple lotus trees differed from the pink lotus trees he spotted earlier at the beginning of the Preschool path.
And as for the trees along the Junior High path, they were also Lotus trees, but yellow.
Though he didn't know what the other regions inside these different paths would look like, they could also tell they were made and designed differently.
Maybe to prevent others from getting lost?
Anyway, from the little information he knew, Preschoolers had their facilities, Elementary schoolers had their own facilities, and Junior High students had theirs too.
There were thousands and thousands of students from over the many U.N empires.
So of course the school had to be made this gigantic. And even their morning assemblies were done in their various sectors too.
But let this not fool anyone.
The morning assemblies in the great announcement halls were full.
Junior High students (grade 6~9) filled their halls in their region, and so on.
Only during sports and other public activities would everyone see one another.
Again, the school was arranged this way, primarily because of the preschoolers (ages 3~5).
In the end, they were just children. And if they cried next to others who were trying to study, it would affect the mood of many students.
Thus, the preschoolers had their own world, the elementary school students had their own world, and the Junior school students had theirs.
It was as though Landon had combined 3 different school grounds to create this massive one.
From the unused land at the back of the Academy, one could see there was still Re m for expansion if the school became overcrowded.
After all, in the future when every nation in the world joins the U.N, the influx of students will be even greater.
Yes!
The school was indeed massive, like an elite academy but for the young and developing!
