After I died of old age, I was reincarnated into another world and became a cat

"Nothing, this is what I should do."

La Luna said modestly, wagging her tail.

"No need to say more. I know how great your contribution is this time. If you need anything, just let me know! I am doing my best to satisfy you."

Chapter 67 Makes sense

La Luna tilted her head and thought about it. After some self-examination, La Luna suddenly found that she seemed to have truly reached a state of having no desires or demands in the world.

Because there is basically nothing in this world that can move me anymore, and I am still staying here instead of following the Lord God to the temple, probably because there are people I care about in the academy.

La Luna smiled and then shook her head.

"I am terribly sorry, Your Majesty, but I do not know what else I need."

Hearing this, the Emperor's high spirits were suddenly dampened.

The other party is God's chosen one, and a very strong one at that. His Majesty the Emperor has seen reactions like La Luna's before, but all of them are powerful beings who are about to ascend to the temple, and La Luna has probably reached that level now.

"Is that so... Then as a reward, I will allocate a large amount of funds to the academy for development. How about that?"

"In that case, I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of the students and teachers of the academy."

"No need. This is all thanks to you and has benefited everyone in the academy. They should be thanking you."

"Haha, Your Majesty, you are too kind. However, compared to money, what the academy lacks more is various repair materials. After all, after this snowstorm, I am afraid that most of the buildings are in danger of collapse. And it is not just the academy, the entire north will face the dilemma of being homeless after the snowstorm..."

"Well... you reminded me of this. Don't worry, when the time comes, you can send me a list of materials for the restoration of the academy. I will definitely give my full support."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"There is also the housing problem in the north...Due to this snowstorm, all the major cities in the empire have donated supplies, and with the support of the national treasury, I will send people to help local residents repair their houses after the snow."

"Your Majesty has mercy."

"Haha, after all, the North is half of my hometown. It's a pity that my child has no talent for magic, otherwise I would send the prince to the academy to learn magic like I did back then."

"Learn magic?"

La Luna tilted her head and rubbed her chin to think for a moment.

"Her Royal Highness the Little Princess...ah, should we call her the Duchess of Lodz? Her child came to our academy once before."

"Oh, are you talking about my little nephew Yrel? Yes, he does have a pretty good talent for magic, so my sister is planning to send him to the academy."

"Well, yes, but the child is not yet old enough to meet the academy's admission requirements..."

Just when La Luna was about to continue speaking, she was suddenly interrupted by His Majesty the Emperor.

"Hmm...haha, it's better not to talk about this kind of thing in the hall. Do you have anything else to report?"

All the ministers in the hall were silent.

"Okay, that's all for today. I hope you all remember what you should do. Now we're done."

His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, and the two summoners beside him immediately called the court to an end. The ministers below bowed to His Majesty the Emperor, and then left the hall one after another. After a while, the sound of lively conversation could be heard outside the hall.

"Please follow me to the study, Dean."

"Ah, please, Your Majesty."

La Luna realized at this moment that what they had just talked about were all family matters, and the place they were in now seemed to be a work area, so His Majesty the Emperor thought it was inappropriate to talk about such things here.

Moreover, it would not be good for the people below to hear about the emperor's family affairs.

So La Luna silently followed the Emperor into the study.

"Ah, I finally don't have to be so reserved. Being an emperor is getting more and more tiring. I hope my son can grow up quickly and take over this position from me as soon as possible."

After entering the study and dismissing the servants around him, His Majesty the Emperor sat down on the seat. Then, his face, which had been tense in the hall before, suddenly fell.

La Luna suddenly felt that the atmosphere around her became much more relaxed, and it didn't feel at all as oppressive as it did in the hall.

"Your Majesty has been working hard for the people of the world. It's really hard."

"Don't flatter me here. If it weren't for my duty, I wouldn't care about the people of this world. But there's nothing I can do. I'm an emperor. My job is to protect the people of this world and prevent them from suffering. But who can take care of our suffering?"

As His Majesty the Emperor spoke, he sat in his seat and stretched his muscles vigorously, making a series of crackling sounds.

"In the past twenty years, His Majesty the Emperor has changed a lot."

When La Luna looked at the emperor, she suddenly recalled the impression she had when she first met the emperor twenty years ago. It always felt like there was a world of difference between the two now.

"Tsk... I was young and frivolous back then and always wanted to do great things for the people of the world. But what great things can I do? It's nothing more than solving everyone's food, drink, defecation and urination problems, and making sure everyone eats, drinks, defecates and urinates better."

His Majesty the Emperor frowned and sighed for a while, thinking back on his experiences over the years, and suddenly realized that his job was completely different from what he had imagined.

"It's already been twenty years? Sigh, time flies by so fast. If I had given birth to a child with the queen earlier, maybe I would have been ready to retire by now? Damn it, if I were a city lord, would I have to attend court here every day?"

La Luna looked at the Emperor in front of her with an awkward smile. At this moment, the other party did not seem like the emperor who held the power of life and death over the world, but rather felt like she was facing a middle-aged man who was crying and complaining about his unsatisfactory career.

The more the Emperor thought about it, the angrier he became. When he was young, he spent almost all his time studying in the academy. But he never expected that after he ascended the throne, except for a few tours, he would have very few opportunities to leave the imperial capital or even the palace. When the Emperor thought of this, he suddenly envied his sister.

"Forget it, let's not say these discouraging words. What were we talking about in the hall before?"

"Hmm...it seems to be about Yrel's admission."

La Luna thought about it for a moment.

"Oh, by the way, regarding the issue of Irel's enrollment, I want to ask, regarding the issue of enrollment, do you feel that the age of students enrolling is generally too old?"

"Too big?"

La Luna was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then pondered what His Majesty the Emperor had just said.

"Yes, actually I have wanted to ask this question for a long time. In fact, it is most appropriate to start learning magic in childhood, right? And the academy only accepts students over the age of sixteen, so wouldn't the golden learning period of childhood be wasted at home?"

"Hmm... you make sense..."

Chapter 68 La Luna illustration Q version

La Luna nodded silently after listening to this. Although she did not learn magic in a systematic way like humans, for ordinary humans, children’s learning ability is indeed the strongest when they are young. In addition, the mental strength displayed by children at around five years old can determine whether they are suitable for learning magic in the future.

From an educational perspective, letting children start school at around six years old and be exposed to magic is the best option.

"But Your Majesty, if you let your child come to the academy to study too early, most of the other party's parents will definitely not be willing. After all, the child is still so young. I don't think any parent would be willing to let their child leave their hometown to study... Not to mention..."

"Don't worry about this. In fact, what you said is also within my consideration."

The emperor waved his hand to interrupt La Luna and began to explain to her.

"Actually, this is what I think. You see, the learning intensity for young students must not be too high. They should focus on cultivating their interests. In this way, there is no need for everyone to send their children to Alreis City. Our college can also allocate some resources to establish a small college dedicated to providing learning for young children."

"Kindergarten?"

"Kindergarten...? Yes! Kindergarten! Haha, this name is really good..."

After hearing the name said by La Luna, His Majesty the Emperor pondered for a moment, and then suddenly felt it was wonderful.

"We can establish a small branch of the academy among other organizations, which is the kindergarten you just mentioned. Let the children be trained and studied in the kindergarten first, just like those gifted academies, but we focus on cultivating students' magical abilities. When they grow up, they can choose whether to go to the Alreis Magic Academy for further studies according to their wishes. In this way, students can be influenced by magic in their early childhood and further improve the magical qualities of future magic academy students without causing parents to worry."

After listening to the emperor's opinion, La Luna sat on a chair aside and thought about it.

His Majesty the Emperor's suggestion is very good, and it is indeed the kind of policy that can change the future of the academy.

"But if we set up a kindergarten in other places, I'm afraid the cost and teaching staff are not something that the Alris School of Magic can afford alone..."

"You can rest assured about this. As for the teaching staff, the imperial capital will send a magic team to supplement them. As for the construction, I hope the academy can provide the general design materials and expenses, and the empire will bear them. What do you think?"

"Haha, Your Majesty, have you made up your mind to popularize magic in the empire?"

When La Luna heard that His Majesty the Emperor actually offered such generous conditions, she was slightly surprised and then said jokingly.

"Ugh……"

For some reason, after hearing what La Luna said, the Emperor's expression suddenly became a little gloomy from the high-spirited expression during the discussion just now.

"Uh…what's wrong? Did I say something I shouldn't have?"

"That's not the case. It's just that I've recently felt that the power that ordinary people can exert with the gift of God is too low in comparison to magic."

After hearing this, La Luna nodded silently. Indeed, ordinary people in this world are completely different from the Earth she once lived on. They all possess magical powers bestowed by God, and it is this power that enables them to fight back bravely when facing monsters and natural hazards.

However, after witnessing this kind of power, La Luna could clearly feel the upper limit of this power. For example, if a person is born with the power of fire, then he can only exert power related to fire in his life.

But magic has more, even infinite possibilities.

In addition to the singularity of ability, there is also the intensity of ability.

Because the upper limit of each person's innate ability is fixed, although in theory this ability can reach the level of the ninth level of the Dark Night, and the strength is close to the demigod level, such a person may not appear in a thousand years. Even the seventh or eighth level of the Dark Night is already the top level in the empire.

If we average out the average population, they are probably no more than earth level to forest level.

However, magic can help some people who are not naturally strong to improve their upper limit of strength, and it can also allow those who are naturally strong to go further.

"I have been sitting on the throne for so long. Although I have done nothing wrong, I cannot say that I have made any contributions either. I do not want to be one of those mediocre emperors in history books, and of course I do not expect to be like my ancestors. I only hope that, at least in the history books of the empire, I can have a slightly longer introduction of one and a half pages than other emperors."

His Majesty the Emperor cast his eyes on La Luna, who nodded in understanding.

"I understand. After this snowstorm is over, I will arrange this work in the academy. However, I have a small request."

La Luna stretched out her little finger and gestured slightly.

"Oh? Whatever you want, just tell me. I'll fulfill it for you."

When the Emperor heard that La Luna was going to make a request, he agreed without even waiting for La Luna to say what the request was.

"Hehe, that's about kindergarten teachers. They must pass the assessment of this college before they can obtain the relevant teaching qualifications."

After listening to this, the emperor pondered for a moment.

"I naturally agree to this little thing, but are you doing this to protect the power of the academy?"

"No, no, no. Although this will indeed monopolize the entire empire's kindergarten education rights within the academy, this is not my purpose. The reason I made this request is because it is related to the construction of the new magic system."

La Luna paused for a moment.

"You also know that although I proposed a new magic system and implemented reforms in the academy, it would be too difficult for me to promote the entire reform alone. And those magic conservatives... those so-called magician associations, their influence is too great, and they are a huge obstacle to the promotion of my new magic reform..."

"I understand. You mean to start with the children's education and destroy the influence they bring from the foundation...Okay! This Magician Association, I have actually been unhappy with them for a long time. If it weren't for our previous friendship, I would have wanted to discipline them long ago."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty. Is there anything else? If not, I will take my leave first. Although we don't need to worry about the impact of the snowstorm for the time being, it will still be troublesome for so many people to live on the same street."

"Well, please."

"Small idea."

Chapter 69 Illustration: Dean La Luna

"The snow this year is a bit too heavy..."

Tina looked helplessly at the falling snow outside the window. She was now living in a small hotel in the imperial capital. As a tutor, Tina should have stayed in the academy, but due to personal family reasons, she had to apply for a leave of absence from the academy to return home to deal with some practical matters.

"Ahhh, this is so annoying."

Tina rubbed her little head and recalled some unhappy things.

Originally, Tina planned to devote her whole life to the magic career, but because she was already very old and her parents were in their old age, they began to urge Tina to find a partner and get married.

So this time Tina went back actually for... a blind date.

This is a very troublesome topic. As a magician, although Tina has been influenced by La Luna in her thoughts, it does not mean that she will give up her proud identity as a magician and marry ordinary people.

At least the other party has to be a magician, right?

This is the problem. Tina completely looks down on the boys recommended by her family. But in the magic academy, who is not immersed in the study of magic?

The couple index among students is frighteningly low, let alone teachers of this age. Faced with the disdain of her family, the fact that she is not allowed to date in school, and her parents who are a little angry, Tina can only nod humbly and promise that she will find her ideal partner within a year...

What the hell.

A year is not enough to do a research project, let alone something like falling in love!

For Tina, who is almost a novice in emotional matters, falling in love is obviously much more difficult than doing research. As for what she had promised...she could just find a male colleague with whom she has a good relationship and bring him back to deceive her parents.

For example, Mr. Deman at the next desk, or Mr. Beddo in the project team, to be honest, most of the male tutors in the academy are of average looks, except for a group of magical researchers who have been staying in underground laboratories all year round and don't take care of themselves at work and in their lives. The reason they are a bunch of bald guys, most of the faculty in the entire academy are handsome men and beautiful women, including myself of course. Maybe this is the power of magic.
