Chapter 229
Ihan’s home visits turned out to be an unexpected success.
“…At this rate, it’s basically unanimous consent, isn’t it?”
Amazingly, nearly 90% of the cadets had turned in signed forms approving the visits.
The few who didn’t—like Blackdog and Taechang—had complicated family situations, meaning that for all intents and purposes, the entire cadet corps had agreed.
Considering that home visits weren’t exactly a common practice in this world, Ihan found it surprising. Just to be sure, he asked the cadets directly.
“You remember I said this was voluntary, right? This isn’t mandatory.”
He was worried there had been some kind of misunderstanding, but his concerns were completely unfounded.
“No, my parents were actually really happy about it. They said they were curious about my grades.”
“The moment they heard they could meet you, they signed immediately. More than just my grades, I think they’re also curious about how my swordsmanship has improved so drastically.”
“S-Same for us.”
“…My parents said they absolutely want to hear your opinion on my future.”
…Did this world also have an obsession with academic achievement?
Ihan was beginning to feel the weight of parental ambition firsthand, and it left him with a sour expression.
Apparently, no matter the era or world, parents worrying too much about their children’s futures was a universal constant.
“…This is too much. Visiting 73 households is going to be hell.”
“Then why not do it like last time and have the parents come to us?”
“That wouldn’t be a home visit anymore—it’d just be a parent-teacher conference.”
“So, are you really going to visit all of them?”
“…I’ll pass out a new form.”
It was the only option left to him.
Originally, he hadn’t expected even half of them to agree, let alone this many.
So, he decided to let the cadets decide how they wanted to proceed, but even then…
“There might still be families who can’t make it. If anyone’s in that situation, let me know. I’ll definitely visit those homes.”
- Thanks to you, Sir Turtle, I can finally walk around with my head held high! My child’s grades have improved, but even more than that—their swordsmanship has skyrocketed! The teachings of the renowned White Silver Lion are truly exceptional. So, if I may ask… could you provide some personal lessons for my youngest? I’ll spare no expense! Our family might not have a long history, but our wealth is equal to any noble house. Surely, that would be a fair exchange, no?
- U-Um, do you think my child can become a knight? P-Please, instructor! T-They can, right?! Right?! If you say they can become a knight, I’ll do anything! Please, make them a knight!
- Wait… they’re in the Academy? When did that happen?
What do you think?
