Chapter 277: School and the Start of the Term

Lolth had heard many songs in her past life that were both catchy and deeply moving.

However, she didn’t plan to make it too complicated.

The song that matched both the atmosphere of Hillenbrand Town and this organization, the most famous one that came to mind, was that particular song.

It was simple, easy to understand, and very popular; the uplifting melody and empowering lyrics inspired people.

After writing that song on a piece of paper, Lolth nodded in satisfaction. She didn’t put her name on it but instead wrote the name of the original author.

Since she wasn’t born in a peaceful time where entertainment was valued, there was no need to increase her fame through such things.

If Tina and the others asked about the origin of this song, Lolth planned to say it was discovered in ancient ruins—after all, there were many ancient ruins, and since they were all from different times, no one could prove her wrong.

After making these decisions, Lolth continued to write the next part of the textbook.

With this good start, Lolth, who grew up in a place with strong and systematic moral education, quickly became skilled at writing these materials.

"Lesson Two: The People of Hillenbrand Town."

Unlike the highly summarized introduction of Lesson One, this lesson is divided into three sections.

The first section covers the rights and duties that the people of Hillenbrand Town need to know and fulfill, the second section talks about the moral qualities and good traits she encourages the people to develop, and the third section explains how Superoperators and common people can realize their self-worth in this town.

"Lesson Three: The Laws of Hillenbrand Town."

Also divided into three sections, the first section introduces the basic laws, highlighting serious illegal actions that are absolutely forbidden; this section is the main focus for Lolth to prepare for the mercenaries.

The remaining two sections include more detailed laws that are useful in daily life and work in the second section, and the third section emphasizes to the mercenaries the importance of knowing and obeying the laws and the principle that the laws protect everyone’s basic rights.

"Lesson Four: Life in Hillenbrand Town."

This chapter focuses on daily life, work, and study, providing a detailed introduction to the current situation of Hillenbrand Town from different perspectives in the south, west, and the town itself, while also presenting several "lifestyles" advocated by Lolth.

Simple values such as "balancing work and rest," "hard work brings wealth," "everyone is equal," and "harmony and unity" are also included.

After finishing her writing, Lolth felt it was enough and nodded with satisfaction.

"Great, this should be enough for now."

She neatly organized the parchment and used magic to rewrite a fair version, then took the designed town emblem, slogan, and song with her as she left the torture tower and headed towards the west district.

With a slight use of Magic Perception, she quickly found the direction where Tina was.

And there were the twelve mercenaries who were visiting the schools in Hillenbrand Town—clearly, Tina had found them an available classroom.

Lolth walked straight to that classroom, as she had designed the plans for this school, so naturally, it resembled the schools from her past life.

Although the materials were magical and some details were completely different, walking in this building, which had the overall style of a public middle school from her previous life, and looking through the transparent windows at the neat desks, podium, and blackboard, Lolth felt as if she had somehow traveled back in time.

She even occasionally saw Hillenbrand Town residents coming to "visit," as well as mentors who had passed the selection process, getting to know the environment and practicing their lessons.

In this moment, she felt the presence of Kanor and Dorothy—two little girls who were not in the kitchen today; instead, they seemed to be practicing lessons for Kanor here.

In this atmosphere, such youthful events felt even more beautiful and inspiring.

"I really miss those days."

Although Lolth was not someone who liked to reminisce, she couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental.

After walking through a long hallway, Lolth found Tina and the others at the end of the stairs in the classroom.

The former Moon Elf Princess and now the acting lord of Hillenbrand Town, Tina Leinster’s voice came from the classroom.

"This will be the place where you will learn and attend classes in the future. According to Mistress Lolth’s instructions, the daily study time will be about two hours. Although you currently have a ‘good’ rating, if you become complacent and think you can just get by… you won’t be able to fool Mistress Lolth. I advise you to give up any hope of getting away with it. Also, the other ninety students may mix with you in class, so if you don’t want your position to be taken, work hard."

Tina spoke in a rather serious tone, and there was no dissent or rebuttal from the mercenaries.

Her dignity seemed even higher than Lolth’s.

Lolth gently tapped on the door and then pushed it open.

"Tina—I’m coming in!"

As she said this, she walked into the classroom.

When Tina saw Lolth arrive, her usually serious face lit up with surprise, her lips curling into a smile, but it quickly turned into a faint grin.

She quickly walked to the edge of the stage, lifting the hem of her maid outfit, and moved towards Lolth while being watched by the mercenaries, lowering her voice as she spoke to Lolth at the door.

"Mistress Lolth—why are you here?"

"I have finished writing my teaching materials," Lolth said, waving the parchment in her hand, "and I also wrote the town song for Hillenbrand Town and designed a territory emblem. It’s not just for the mercenaries; the residents should learn it too."

"I understand… Truly impressive, Mistress Lolth. Your efficiency is amazing!"

Tina took the parchment and quickly followed with praise.

"It’s not too bad… So when does school start? In two weeks?"

Lolth asked with curiosity.

"Tomorrow, my lady Lolth. All the courses and teachers have been set up with City Hall before you, and everything is ready to begin informing residents and choosing classes," Tina replied immediately. "The housing arrangements are all done. All the former Holy Alliance members have moved in, the police station and hospital are partially operational, and City Hall is slowly moving to the west side… Once the mercenaries are settled, the entire phase two project will be completely finished, from construction to operation."

As Tina spoke, her tone was quite proud, and her face showed feelings of pride and anticipation for compliments.
