Chapter 741: Ike's Scholarship?
Oriana's careful thinking amused Jano, and he didn't care about a certain degree of artistic modification, as long as he didn't write himself as a villain.
Because they were still chatting at this time, he didn't rush to open the expedition log, but gave it to Jiena and let her read it for herself.
After all, the story recorded in this book has something to do with Jiena's birth. The place where the story takes place is also where Jenna was born, so it's good for her to know about it.
"Come, Jenna, this book is a record of our story, let it be your enlightenment reading, it will be very meaningful!"
Jeno succeeded in arousing Jiena's curiosity with two sentences, only to see her take the initiative to stretch out her hands and open the expedition diary of the book with a long title, titled "The Adventures of Jarrow Light Feather: The End of the Shadow Isles".
Well, between the lines, a strong sense of narcissism comes to my face.
While Jenna was concentrating on reading, Jeno and Orianna anticipated that Jenna was preparing to enter school. When it came to enrollment, Oriana naturally asked Geno which school she wanted to send Jenna to.
"Jiena should go to high school first, if she goes to the academy, she still has too many qualities. As for which school to go to, it's better to go to the name of Philos. โ
Jeno didn't have a systematic education in this world, and he couldn't tell him which school was good, but he still trusted his own school.
And if he is a shareholder, if something happens to Jenna at school, it will be easy to suppress it after all.
"Is the border market the one that just opened?"
After a moment's thought, Oriana knew exactly which school Jeno was talking about.
During the Great War with Zeroth, the Border Market was badly damaged, and a sinkhole was blasted out by the rampaging arcane magic. After the battle, the land was bought by the Philos family, and a low-cost school was built for public welfare.
The so-called cheap means that the tuition fees are lower than those of the aristocratic schools, and the average Zuan family can afford it, let alone the wealthy Piltover family, but the cost of the school is not low.
The school has a college branch and a higher secondary school branch, but due to the construction progress is not fast enough and the resources of teachers and students are insufficient, only the college branch was opened in the first half of the year, and more infrastructure is still under construction, which will be opened one after another, and various teaching equipment is also waiting to be completed.
In short, the money is in place, but the productivity is insufficient. Many of the ordered equipment are still on the production line and cannot be put into use, so only one experimental class has been recruited. But fortunately, because of the low tuition fees and the school's welfare policy, the students have forgiven me.
However, after more than half a year of exploration of the teaching mode and the successive completion of teaching facilities, after the Winter Solstice Festival, the two branches of the school will be open for enrollment. In addition, the branch of the college also boldly invited a heavyweight professor, that is, Professor Heimerdinger. A few decades ago, he was hailed as one of the most innovative and respected inventors Piltover had ever seen, and although he had recently disappeared, his fame remained.
As for Heimerdinger being a Yodeler, and the general hostility towards Yodelers, this is also easy to address. Because they are magical creatures, it is always difficult for ordinary humans to recognize the original appearance of yodelers, and Heimerdinger has lived in human society for many years, and has developed the habit of disguise, and disguised as a dwarf can basically hide his identity.
"Why would the Philos family want to get involved in the education industry?"
Oriana couldn't help but sigh that the recent Philos family is really not "peaceful", and they have to mix everything with one hand. In life, more and more products that are visible to the naked eye are labeled as the Philos Group.
"The importance of education is self-evident, and at first I just wanted to make it possible for some people to go to school, and to build a cheap school. But there are some things that you want to do best when you have an idea, and it ends up being what it is. โ
Jeno replied thoughtfully, his thoughts were far more complicated than what he said, but they could be summed up in three words: charity.
On the one hand, he wants to give the young people of Zu'an a bright way out and promote the integration with Picheng; On the one hand, it is also to repay Ike for saving his life, and after he saved Oriana, Jano has not thanked him.
Although Ike may have forgotten that he saved Oriana, because he has saved many people, Jano and Orianna are just two passers-by who meet in the water. But Jeno knew that he had never revealed a wish to anyone, not even his parentsโhe didn't want his parents to send him to Picheng School with the hard-earned money he had accumulated over the years, and he wanted to spend more time with his parents, who were aging very quickly.
Jeno has the ability to fulfill his wishes, but he is not changing the fate of Ike alone, but the fate of many families like Ike.
The location of the school was chosen in the border market, which is very close to the screaming elevator, which is very convenient for the students of Zu'an; The free elevator and the construction of more elevators also make students do not have to worry about high travel expenses, they can go home if they want to, and they do not have to stay in the school all year round in order to save money for their families.
Without any physical contact, there was no premise for using talent, and Orianna had the heart to guess what Jeno was thinking, and suddenly mentioned the person in Jeno's mind:
"I see. I heard of a Zaun guy named Ike who got a prize from the school in his first semester. โ
"Bonus? Is it a scholarship? What did he invent? Jeno asked curiously.
If it was an invention prize, that money would be enough to greatly improve Ike's family conditions. And, with the precedent of Z-drive in the foreground, Jeno was looking forward to Ike's creativity.
"It's not the kind of scholarship you think, it's an incentive bonus for righteousness and bravery." Orianna shook her head and told her what she had heard: "There were no guards in the school during the first semester, so Jinx broke in, and it is conceivable that the next thing is her bad prank, that guy is simply a good hand at the demolition office. But in the end, she was chased away by Ike without any damage to the teaching facilities. After the incident, the school was guarded, and nothing like that happened. โ
"Because they know each other, and they know that Ike is studying at school, so Jinx doesn't do it. If I can get the prize money in this way, then I'll have to change the rules. Otherwise, if Jinx and Ike work together, they will not be able to cheat the school's prize money casually. โ
Although Jano admires Ike and knows Jinx's character, he knows that they can't be in the same boat. But it has nothing to do with trust, since there is a loophole in the rules, it must be filled, and no one can be allowed to take advantage of it.
