“If we are doing a full school, I want to do this right. Cal is planning to run this whole loop fully. That means we have twentyish years to get these kids fully trained, and unlike every magic school I’ve ever read about, we aren’t skipping their real education either. They will come out of this fully capable graduates,” Ethel said, the moment everyone had sat around the table.


    That everyone was composed of herself, Sarah, two capybaras, and Captain Lightspeed. She had invited them all here as they had shown the most interest in helping to run the school. She was also planning to see if any of the people who surrendered to Bug had any areas of knowledge that could be useful. If they were going to run a real school, she was going to make sure it actually ran correctly.


    “Are we going to focus on just the kids or include all the animals that are starting to gain their intelligence in the Gardens?” Sarah asked.This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    “Everyone. Generally, it has taken more than a single loop to really get an animal up to speed, but that could be because of my lack of focus and resources. So, this time, we are going to go all out for this loop. I have Harold reaching out to a friend for me as well, one of the best teachers I’ve ever met. Not sure how he will take the surprise of this place, but I think we will want his help,” Ethel said.


    “Bart and I can handle the meal planning and housekeeping tasks as long as we can recruit the kids for chores as well,” one of the capybaras said.


    “Of course, thank you, Martin. Lightspeed, you can handle physical education,” Ethel said, glad the horse had been happy at the idea.


    “Where are we building the school?” Sarah asked.


    “The Mother Tree is working on a good spot right now. I will give you all a tour once it’s ready,” Ethel said. Hopefully, it would be good to go in the next week. She wanted to get this moved along quickly.
