Chapter 86: Day 4 of Mond's Chapter
"You mean, let Klee study and arrange classes like... the teaching academy of Xumi?"
Qin asked hesitantly.
There is no concept of schools or academies on the continent of Teyvat. Families that can afford it will hire special teachers to teach their children literacy and knowledge, while those who are poor and cannot afford private tutors will naturally let their children do whatever they want. Except when the family needs to work, the children on the continent of Teyvat live a very happy life.
Xumi is an exception. As the kingdom of wisdom, Xumi can find any knowledge needed by the people of Xumi in the void since the birth of the void, a system full of knowledge. But even so, only those who meet the requirements are qualified to embark on the path of pursuing knowledge, and not all Xumi people can do so.
Liyue also has some insights into this. Emperor Geo once ordered the establishment of various private schools in Liyue, and ordered the people of Liyue to teach their children to recognize characters so that they can understand the various instructions issued by the General Affairs Department. However, the more profound things are the private teachings of each family and will not be easily taught to outsiders.
As for Mond... well, everyone is free, so not many people really care about this aspect. At least ordinary Mond citizens will not force their children to take courses or anything like that.
When the Knights of Favonius recruit new members every year, they also arrange various aspects of learning to train some prospective knights who have insufficient education due to poor family conditions.
"That's right. I don't know if you've noticed, Jean, but the reason why Klee gets into trouble again not long after being released is because of her love for bombs and because - she's just too idle."
Shui Qingli nodded. Whenever he walked on the streets of Mond, he could see children running everywhere. The children in Mond were so happy and had no pressure at all.
"Just like you, you are always immersed in work and have almost no time to do other things. Even your own personal time is pitifully small, right?"
Qin nodded thoughtfully, as if she understood something.
"You're right. Because Klee is still young, the Knights generally don't assign her any work, so they use study instead to make up for her time. This also prevents her from always wanting to go out and get into trouble. Is that what you mean?"
"That's what it means, but that's not all."
“Klee is a genius. Her talent in developing bombs is no less than that of an alchemist. It is normal for her to want to experiment with her creations, but because she is a child, she has no concept of [restraint].”
Shui Qingli glanced in the direction of the snow-capped mountains and continued.
"[Restraint] [Mercy] [Humility] [Fairness] These are the virtues that the Knights Temperance teaches to prospective knights, but Klee has not received such education since she joined the Knights Temperance, so she does not understand the harm her actions will cause to innocent people."
This was actually Jean's negligence. Klee joined the Knights Temperance as an exception because Lady Alice asked her to take care of her. She herself has such strength, but apart from her strength, she is still a child who knows nothing.
"I think... I think I understand what he means, Jean."
After listening for a long time, Lisa finally put down the book in her hand and continued their conversation.
“The world of children is very simple, but they also need guidance. Otherwise, they are like a boat that has lost its direction and is drifting aimlessly. They need careful guidance from adults.”
Lisa smiled gently, she was just blinded by one thing, not all children were as well-behaved and obedient as her lovely little apprentice.
"When Grand Captain Falga entrusted Little Wolf to me, he couldn't even speak. I put a lot of effort into teaching him."
"That little girl, Klee, really needs to learn other things besides making bombs."
Jean crossed her arms, looking troubled.
"I understand what you mean, but I'm worried about what kind of teacher to find for Keli. Her situation is special. I found a tutor for her before, but he quit within three days."
After all, Jyn is from the Gunhild family, and she certainly knows the importance of education, but there are too few teachers who can teach Klee.
Hmm? Shui Qingli looked at Lisa in confusion.
Isn't it there? Such a big one is placed here. Lisa is praised by the Church of the Order as a rare genius in two hundred years. Her strength is unfathomable and she is very leisurely every day.
Why didn't Qin think of asking Lisa for help?
The Rose Witch smiled at him faintly. There was danger hidden in that charming smile. Shui Qingli's mouth twitched.
I see. Lisa probably thought it was troublesome and that Klee's high energy would take too much time. Anyway, putting her in solitary confinement would restrain her actions, so she didn't remind Jean.
Come to think of it, Jean should be the only Wind-type who hasn't lost a Lightning-type friend, right?
For some reason, this idea suddenly occurred to him.
Oh no, there seems to be a deer? He has no lightning friends.
Qin was still thinking hard about how to make Klee learn.
"Everyone in the Knights' Order is usually busy with work, and their strength may not be as strong as Klee. If Captain Falga is here, I can ask him to do it..."
I see. So when Falga was around, it was Jean who worked for the Knights of Favonius, right?
Shui Qingli understood what she meant instantly. The Grand Commander was also a powerful knight who was good at slacking off.
"How about asking Mr. Albedo for help? No, no, Mr. Albedo will only help Klee improve the bomb formula..."
Shui Qingli couldn't bear to listen any further.
There is a reason why Klee has been able to run rampant in Mondstadt for so long. Apart from Jyn, there is almost no one in Mondstadt that she is afraid of.
"Why not open a school in the name of the Knights of Favonius? Many children in Mondstadt are eager to join the Knights or the Adventurers' Guild, but they don't have the conditions to receive a good education. The Knights can open a school to recruit students for free or at a low tuition, and then arrange teachers to teach."
"The Knights of Favonius are a gathering place for the top talents in Mondstadt. Jean, you can let everyone take turns to teach. This will surely attract many Mondstadt people to sign up. By the way, it can also train future knights, which will be of great benefit to Mondstadt."
"As for Klee, let her go to class with the other children. The teacher is someone you knights are familiar with, so he can keep an eye on her better. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
Shui Qingli said it all in one breath. He had really wanted to complain for a long time. The Knights of Favonius were almost becoming the nannies of the people of Mondstadt. Why hadn't they ever thought of teaching them to be self-reliant?
All those giant babies who are giving up should learn from me. Education should start from childhood!
