I adopt the male lead

chapter 14

"Well... arithmetic and composition?"

"Is that all you've got?"

Karina asked back a bit startled. At that rate, Roland and Melissa would have mastered it.

The shock was even greater because the school Karina knew from her past life's memories taught her much more than that.

"Isn't that enough? What else should they teach you?"

"Well, history or..."

Wilder burst into laughter.

"Mrs. Bloe, if you teach history at school, your parents will rise right away! Why are you teaching things that are of no use to the children? Use a tutor to teach them."

Karina thought about school on her way back home.

'It's about arithmetic and composition, so is it really necessary to send them?'

Both were essential to magic, so it was one of the harshest lessons from the time the siblings came to Lord Lenque's mansion.

If Wilder is right, the children won't learn much after going to school. But Karina decided to ask the children's wishes for now.

The children had a hard time understanding the concept of school, but at least they liked the fact that they didn't have to stay in a stuffy inn all day.

"What are we learning?"

"Umm, I heard they teach arithmetic and writing."

"We won't do magic?"

"You won't."

Roland was visibly relieved, but Melissa looked slightly disappointed. After all, learning meant nothing but magic for them.

Seeing that scene made her feel like that she should go to school instead.

'Yeah, if they don't like it, they can just stop. What's the problem?'

Karina drew out a magic card that could persuade the children in an instant.

"You guys, don't you want to make friends?"

"Friends...?"

Roland's and Melissa's identical new blue eyes widened.

"There must be a lot of kids your age at school. You can go see them, and if you don't fit in you can quit."

"We want to go!"

The two children's eyes lit up.

Everything went smoothly after that.

With Wilder's help, Karina enrolled her two children right away at school and bought them a stone slab that they need to go to school.

The children played so well with the stone slab that she wondered if she should have bought them from the beginning.

Karina often found magic circles on Melissa's stone slab but decided not to say anything for the time being.

On the children's first day of school, Karina returned to the inn with her heart pounding as if it was her school day.

Even in the morning, the children looked a little nervous, so she was half worried and half looking forward.

But as soon as she opened the door to their room, all her worries disappeared when she saw the children running towards her.

"It was fun!"

Melissa shouted more energetically than ever.

"It was really fun. The teacher said I read really well. I even got candy today!"
