Pulling a fresh stack of dots from the side of her desk, she unfolded the top page and sed its tents. “New Renovations for the Education of the Youth of Jo City.”

  She let out a small hum of approval. “Oh… Alice finally finished drafting it, huh?” she murmured, flipping through the ly written proposal. Without wasting time, she began reading and making adjustments where necessary, her quill scratg softly against the part.

  This dot outlihe proposed new regutions and structures for Jo’s education system. While Ravenna had direct authority over what would be taught in Jo’s schools, she still had to adhere to the imperial system’s guidelines. Moreover, as part of her agreement with the Herptian Church, she had promised to support the spread of their faith in Jo.

  For the most part, Ravenna had chosen to delegate the trol of education to the church. Uhe mainnd empire, where literacy rivilege of the nobility, the Herptian Church had long ehat Jo’s native popution was literate. Given this adva wasn’t necessarily a bad idea to allow them to tinue operating the schools—especially si provided a valuable loophole in imperial w.

  The empire’s strict ws prohibited oners from learniain disciplines—administration, legal studies, advanced alchemy, higher-level magid geopolitics—all of which were reserved for those of noble in.

  Previously, these ws explicitly stated "of noble birth," but during the reign of Ravenna’s great-grandfather, the nguage had been subtly revised with the support of the Herptian Churow, the w stated that only those of ‘noble in’ were eligible fher education.

  This distin oorly defined, which allowed for exploitable loopholes. Nobility wasn’t solely limited to birthright—it could also be grahrough honorary titles or positions within the empire’s reized religious institutions, including the Twelve Faiths.

  Ravenna saportunity.

  By officially pg the Herptian Chur charge of Jo’s education system, she could recssify students who pleted their basic education as honorary members of the faith. Once reized as disciples of the Goddess Herptian, they would, by teicality, qualify as nobility under imperial w—making them eligible fher education in fields normally reserved for the elite.

  “This is bound to nd me in hot water with the imperial court sooner or ter,” Ravenna muttered, tapping her quill against the part. “But it’s a risk worth taking.”

  Jo needed skilled administrators, legal experts, chemists, and magic schors if it was going to survive in the long run. Without these reforms, the isnd would forever remain a depe backwater, its people at the mercy of the empire’s whims.

  Ravenna expahe curriculum beyond traditional subjects. Advanced chemistry, mathematics, and physics were now being introduced, along with other modern educational discipliypically found in high school and middle school.

  Thanks to the reputation system and the i, she could easily acquire textbooks and materials that covered these fields. However, she knew better than to overload the current popution with highly sophisticated cepts right away.

  “Subjects like advanced medical studies, programming, and stific research… They’re beyond what the people of Jo grasp at their current level.” Ravenna muttered to herself as she flipped through her notes.

  The transition o be gradual.

  For now, these advanced subjects would be taught to adults and the priests of the Herptian Church first. Ohey had a solid foundation, they could bee teachers themselves and pass the knowledge on to the geion.

  It would take time—years, perhaps even decades—before Jo could produce its own doctors, engineers, and eists. But even so, the isnd’s popution would soon surpass the mainnd empire in educational knowledge.

  Ravenna smirked to herself. "A single well-educated geion ge the fate of aire nation. It help the isnd a lot"

  With the foundation of Jo’s education system id out, Ravenna turned her attention to structural reforms. The way the Herptian Church currently handled schooling was chaotic at best, with css schedules scattered throughout the week and little sisten teag methods.

  That o ge.

  She established a unified curriculum system, ensuring that students would attend school five days a week, with Saturdays and Sundays designated as holidays. This structure would not only bring stability but also allow families to pn around a sistent schedule.

  However, academics weren’t the only .

  With the influx of former sves, tensions were bound to rise between them and Jo’s native citizens. Social division could lead to discriminatioment, and even violence—problems that o be addressed before they could take root.

  To bat this, Ravenna implemeriti-bullying and anti-discrimination policies, making it clear that any form of harassment or prejudice would not be tolerated within the education system.

  She also standardized school uniforms and study materials, ensuring that every student—regardless of background—would receive the same attire and learning tools issued by the churd schools.

  Oh, bullying often stemmed from eiequality, social status, and appearance. By removing visible markers of wealth or poverty, she could at least minimize the divide that might form between Jo’s freed sves and native-born citizens.

  But that wasn’t enough.

  Discipline o be enforced.

  She drafted firm school policies against bullying and harassment, p more personal attention into these guidelihan she had with anything else so far.

  Perhaps she was being too passionate about it, but she couldn’t help herself.

  After all, in her past life as Joy Kim, she had experienced bullying firsthand. The scars of those days still lingered, and if she had the power to prevent others from going through the same suffering—she would.

  She was about to move on to the set of dots when a sharp knock echoed through the room.

  “e in.”

  The door swung open, revealing Marie, slightly out of breath as if she had hurried over.

  “Master! High Priest James has asked me t you to the church! He says all the preparations for the ceremony are plete!”

  Ravenna pced her quill down and stood up from her chair, dusting off the hem of her coat. “I see.”

  Her gaze sharpehe preparation for the public execution ritual ceremony was ready.

  This event would serve a crucial purpose, a defining moment that would permaly shift the people’s stan crime in Jo.

  Without another word, she turo Marie and nodded. “Well the’s get going.”

  the streets of Joing to witness a ge ohat would ensure order and loyalty for years to e.
