The next day, at Guiyun Fifth Middle School.
Miri Dreamwell, as usual, was absent-mindedly participating in the morning reading session with all her classmates.
The e-book on the stand scrolled up and down continuously with the content being read.
In this era, paper books had long been phased out.
To protect the natural environment of Blue Earth, the government of the Divine Continent had started massively reducing the production of paper books 60 years ago.
Although paper books are still produced today, they are mostly preserved in libraries, with only one or two copies remaining.
Ordinary households no longer touch these old books that are particularly heavy yet can’t hold hundreds of thousands of words.
Moreover, e-books can also help reduce the burden on students. If all the books for various subjects were combined, they could easily weigh up to 15 kilograms.
This weight, carried every day, has a very negative impact on students’ physical development.
Now, the books for all subjects are condensed into a single e-board, compressing the weight to within 500 grams, significantly reducing the burden on students.
Of course, this doesn’t mean completely abandoning paper items.
For example, homework—writing on paper offers a tactile experience that a glass board can’t match.
Compared to a glass board, paper actually allows students to better practice their writing skills, which is why schools still require homework to be written on paper.
However, when submitting homework, students still need to take photos.
This is quite convenient, as students don’t have to queue for a long time to submit their homework; they can just take a photo and send it directly.
Moreover, when students graduate, they can simply leave the e-book behind, passing it on to three generations of students before updating it, which is perfectly fine.
In the teachers’ office.
Pippa Dreambloom asked Eve Nightburn to sit beside her and wait for a while.
This woman was Miri Dreamwell’s homeroom teacher and would also be Eve Nightburn’s future homeroom teacher.
After all the twists and turns, she had finally returned to school…
Eve Nightburn forced a smile, but in her heart, she was crying behind her hands.
The true history of the human world is something one must inevitably experience.
Although the two didn’t speak, their inner thoughts were quite rich.
Pippa Dreambloom knew exactly what Eve Nightburn was, which brings us to a man named Lucian Blue from a few days ago.
That guy seemed to have been sent by the government, and Pippa initially thought she was being targeted for some wrongdoing.
But as soon as Lucian Blue opened his mouth, he said, “Do you take in problem children? A compensation of 10,000 per month.”
At that moment, Pippa was completely dumbfounded.
After Lucian Blue’s continuous explanations, Pippa finally understood what was going on.
So, you want me to babysit a nuke?
Pippa then毫不犹豫地送给这家伙一个字：“滚！”
Pippa thought, you want me to take care of such a thing? How could I live up to my noble teacher’s ethics?
Should I just ignore my other students?
If it weren’t for this guy, I wouldn’t have to work overtime to catch up on lessons recently, you know?
If my students fail the high school entrance exam, whose fault would it be?
But who is Lucian Blue?
He’s a guy with a face thicker than a city wall.
When Pippa asked him to leave, he immediately added a condition: “How about 20,000? Work for two and a half years, and I’ll get the principal to promote you.”
Hearing this, Pippa immediately put on a heroic face.
“Sir, don’t worry, it’s just a matter of taking care of a child. How about this, transfer 10,000 to me this month first, and I’ll try to get along with the child and see how it goes.”
In the adult world, it’s all about simplicity—money gets things done, and the quality of the work is directly tied to the funds.
Hearing this, Lucian Blue was immediately displeased. What? If you can’t handle it, just make her drop out and leave, right? Do you really think the country needs her to learn anything?
The country simply wants Miri Dreamwell, the Magical Girl, to keep an eye on Eve Nightburn and prevent her from causing any trouble.
“Stop!” Lucian Blue immediately made a stopping gesture, indicating that such thinking was unacceptable!
“I don’t need you to get along with her, Ms. Pippa. The country doesn’t care about Eve Nightburn’s grades, school performance, or how well she integrates into the class, thank you!”
“What we need is for Miri Dreamwell to keep an eye on her, from middle school to high school and even university, ensuring she poses no emotional risks.”
“Got it? That’s your task. You just need to ensure that this child remains emotionally stable during middle school. As for the rest, we don’t care.”
After saying this, Lucian Blue left, leaving Ms. Pippa to figure out the rest on her own.
And now we’re here.
Pippa Dreambloom was still using her computer to grade the weekend homework of each student in her class.
As for Eve Nightburn, she had been left here since early morning, following Miri Dreamwell to her school in a daze.
After finishing grading the homework, Pippa checked the time on her phone and realized the school cafeteria would open in 10 minutes.
“Haah~” Pippa yawned, turned off her computer, and stood up from her seat.
“Let’s go. After breakfast, it’s my class, so we’ll meet the students then.”
“Mm! Mm!”
Eve Nightburn immediately nodded in agreement, jumping off the stool she was sitting on, afraid of displeasing the other.
As her future teacher, or homeroom teacher, how could Eve Nightburn dare to show any attitude?
Back when she was in school, Eve Nightburn had already learned one thing—whatever the teacher says goes!
No matter if the teacher’s words make sense or not, as long as she agrees, there won’t be any major issues.
At the cafeteria, Pippa ordered two bowls of wonton soup, one for herself and one for Eve Nightburn.
After finishing their meal, Pippa didn’t choose to leave.
Eve Nightburn, seeing that Pippa had no intention of leaving, felt extremely awkward.
Pippa glanced at the time; there were still 15 minutes before class.
There was still plenty of time.
Pippa then put away her phone and noticed that Eve Nightburn had been staring at her.
“Your name is Eve Nightburn, right?”
“Mm,” Eve Nightburn nodded, “I am…”
From Eve Nightburn’s trembling voice, Pippa could tell that the child was probably scared of her.
However, Pippa didn’t choose to reduce Eve Nightburn’s fear of her.
Saying whether she’s a good or bad person is ultimately weak; there’s plenty of time in the future for her to judge for herself.
Instead, Pippa had something more important to explain.
“Eve Nightburn, I need to tell you something that will require your cooperation in the future, okay?”
“I’ll make sure to complete the task!” Eve Nightburn immediately raised her hand in a salute, trying to leave a good first impression.
“Mm,” Pippa paused, organizing her thoughts.
“You’re the most special student I’ve ever had. Although most students take the college entrance exam after graduating from middle school.”
“But you’re different. You’ll only follow your sister Miri Dreamwell to another high school, so I won’t have any requirements for your grades.”
Huh?
Eve Nightburn was stunned by the first sentence. So, she’s here as a royal companion? No, Miri Dreamwell is a girl, so she’s a princess’s companion!
