"So, teacher, what's your solution?"

Roxy sat up straight, propping herself up on the edge of the bed. Although her cheeks were still flushed from the alcohol, her speech had returned to normal.

I mean, I want to send both of them to school.

"Go to school?"

Luo Ge paused for a moment, "Aren't Norn and Aisha already attending school? The prestigious private academy here in Millis."

"No, I meant going to Ranoa University of Magic in the north."

"... Ranoa University of Magic?"

Luo Ge tilted his head.

Roxy's gaze suddenly became somewhat distant, as if she were searching for a long-forgotten memory.

"Luo Ge, have you forgotten? You asked your teacher a question when you were a child."

What's the problem?

"You asked me what's on the other side of the mountain."

Luo Ge blinked.

Of course he doesn't remember.

How old was he then? Four or five?

Having been transported here for a short time, he was filled with curiosity about this world, asking about everything he could get his hands on.

Roxy had just become his tutor at that time, and he was overwhelmed by her questions.

Roxy looked at his bewildered expression and couldn't help but smile, her eyes filled with nostalgia.

"My answer was, 'It's the Ranoa University of Magic in the north, and the professor graduated from that university.'"

"Ranoa University of Magic..."

Luo Ge suddenly seemed to understand something, but then frowned. "Sending them to school? I have no objection... but is that really okay? Isn't it a bit too far?"

"Ranoa University of Magic is in the Ranoa Kingdom, and it is indeed quite a distance from Millis."

Roxy nodded and explained to Luo Ge, "But I think that university has a very free teaching style, and its core purpose is to promote the development of magic and elevate the status of magicians. It doesn't discriminate based on race or identity, and it embraces all magic researchers."

She held up one finger and continued speaking earnestly.

"It doesn't matter if you're human, Demon Race, or beastman; it doesn't matter if you're a noble, commoner, or descendant of a sinner. As long as you have magical talent, you can enroll."

"No discrimination against Demon Race, education for all... completely opposite to the noble schools Millis Religion."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ge already had some ideas in mind.

But he still asked, "Won't they get bullied?"

Clearly, this is what Luo Ge is most worried about, because in this other world, there is something called the Will of Domination, which is omnipresent.

Letting his two younger sisters study in a foreign country seems a bit unreliable no matter how you look at it.

"Luo Ge..."

"I know the vice-principal of the Ranoa University of Magic."

"He was once my mentor. Although he has a bad temper, he is a very good person. I can write a letter... asking him to look after Norn and Aisha."

My teacher's teacher.

Luo Ge looked at Roxy expression was serious.

Moonlight slanted in through the window, illuminating her face, where the faint blush of intoxication hadn't completely faded, but her eyes were earnest.

He believes in Roxy.

This kind of trust needs no reason.

From the moment he transmigrated to this other world, Roxy taught him magic and liked to nag him about life principles.

Although he was mentally an adult at that time and didn't need to be taught... he still treated Roxy with great respect.

If Roxy says the vice principal is reliable, then he is reliable.

So Luo Ge thought for a moment, then turned to look at his two younger sisters who were still standing there.

"Norn, Aisha."

"Now that you've all heard it, what are your opinions?"

The two girls lowered their heads, neither of them speaking first.

They were both still hesitating...

Luo Ge waited a few seconds, then said softly, "If you don't want to go, I won't force you. You'll have to stay here in Milishion."

"As for the journey to the Begaritt Continent, the dangers involved are no joke... It's far too far for you, so I'm sorry... I can't take you with me."

"But as your elder brother..."

"I'll give you time to consider whether to leave Milishion to study at the Ranoa University of Magic in the north, or to continue in Milishion..."

I respect your choices!

After a moment of silence, Aisha suddenly looked up and asked a question.

"Elder brother..."

"So, do you want us to go to school?"

Luo Ge looked at her.

There was a cautious, tentative look in Aisha's eyes, as if she was terrified of hearing a dismissive answer like "whatever."

He thought about it carefully.

As someone who was reincarnated from the China people, the deeply ingrained belief in my mind is that children should go to school and receive education when they reach a certain age.

Having spent so many years studying in his past life, he knew that reading was not necessarily the only path, but not reading certainly limited his options.

Moreover, judging from Roxy's description, Ranoa University of Magic is indeed a respectable place.

Regardless of background or race, such a school would have been a model of educational equity in my past life.

Aisha and Norn's situation, staying here is indeed not a good idea. Norn is alright, but Aisha is the most awkward and superfluous one.

If Norn gets bullied, someone will help him. After all, he had only met his aunt once before, and his first impression of her was that she was a very good person.

Therefore, he wasn't worried about Norn... Norn would definitely grow up healthy if he stayed here.

On the contrary, Aisha was very worried about Luo Ge, very worried about her...

Although Luo Ge had never experienced this feeling of being dependent on others in either his past or present life, he knew very well that it must have been extremely torturous.

Luo Ge would rather give Aisha a different environment to grow up in than watch her live in pain every day.

Therefore, when faced with Aisha's question, Luo Ge thought about it seriously for a long, long time before giving her a positive answer.

"Of course I hope so."

"I hope that Aisha can grow up happily and never be bullied by anyone... Besides, with your Aisha, it's such a waste for you to stay a maid forever."

"As your older brother... of course I hope you can become an even better person."

After hearing these words, Aisha suddenly took a deep breath, as if she had made a major decision, and put her two little fists on her hips.

"Since my brother has said so, Aisha is willing to go to school!"

"Aisha, you need to think this through."

Luo Ge crouched down, looking her straight in the eye. "If you go to school, you'll be alone in an unfamiliar environment... You'll need to learn how to make new friends, how to get along and communicate with people, and how to build relationships. No one can do these things for you."

"Brother, I can do it."

Aisha raised her head, her eyes bright, and glanced at Roxy beside her as she spoke.

"I Aisha, and I'm sure I'll become the person my brother looks forward to, just as outstanding as Sister Roxy, and someone my brother will love..."

Roxy was a little embarrassed by this sudden admiration and turned her head away to touch her nose.

As for Norn's gaze towards Aisha, it already carried a hint of envy.

Similarly.

A sense of loss gradually crept into my heart...

It seems that compared to his Aisha, the older brother actually prefers Aisha, right? She's the younger sister he doesn't expect anything from.

Just then, Norn lowered his head.

When your mood hits rock bottom.

Norn suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder; it was his brother... his brother had put his hand on his shoulder.

Like her father's, it was a pair of hands full of warmth and encouragement.

Luo Ge then looked at Norn.

Compared to the clever and quick-witted Aisha, Norn seemed like an ordinary child—timid, indecisive, and prone to backing down in the face of challenges.

Luo Ge didn't make the same demands of her as he had of Aisha.

He softened his tone.

"Norn, if you really don't want to, there's no need to force yourself... Actually, I suggested you stay..."

"Really..."

Norn felt a sharp pang in his heart, as if something had stabbed him deeply. He had high hopes for Aisha, wishing her to become an even better person in the future.

Yet they treat themselves with such indifference... as if simply existing is enough.

Norn was not expected of her by her brother.

Just as Norn was about to nod and accept the arrangement, Aisha's lips curled up slightly.

She suddenly leaned close to Norn's ear and whispered something provocative.

"Hey, Norn, are you scared?"

"I didn't!"

Norn abruptly raised his head, his face flushed red.

She stared at Aisha for two seconds, then turned to Luo Ge and took a deep breath.

"Brother, I've made up my mind... I want to go to school up north too."

"Was this not a spur-of-the-moment decision for Norn? Or did he think it through carefully?"

Norn nodded vigorously.

She had just made up her mind; Norn wanted to become the person her brother hoped she would become.

Luo Ge didn't ask any further questions.

He reached out and gently patted each of his two younger sisters on the head, then stood up.

"I will personally inform Father about this matter later."

After Norn and Aisha left, Luo Ge still looked at Roxy with some unease. "Teacher? Do you think it was right or wrong for me to send them to school?"

Who would know such a thing?

"I don't know if going to school is right or wrong, but... if someone grows up in a repressive environment, the almost suffocating pain... I've experienced that firsthand..."

Just then, Roxy suddenly felt a pair of hands on her shoulders. Looking up, she saw it was Luo Ge staring at her intently.

"Teacher! From now on, I will always protect you..."

I will never let you suffer even the slightest harm again!
