Thirty Days of Classes, part 1 (before battle)

Zilu and Saude appeared to have aged several years overnight, their faces sunken and sallow.

… Finally,

After referencing the idiosyncrasies and various statistical data available to us regarding each Sinner… we managed to come up with an appropriate curriculum.

…….

Miss Zilu?

Ah. Apologies…

Sleep deprivation has… reaved me of clear mind…

The path of an educator is truly a grueling one.

Marching to battle would be… much easier.

Ha ha. Still, thanks to Mister Jia Qiu's methodology you shared, we did manage to find a way to make this quite efficient.

Mm.

Efficient, huh…?

To be a true Family Hierarch, there are dozens - hundreds of virtues one must understand and master. However…

… to do so in thirty days as promised is an implausible effort.

Thus, we have categorized the countless virtues into three supercategories.

And they are called…

…?

Uh... what are these supposed to be?

Zhi, Yong, and Ren.

Zhi - Wisdom(智) - the wise lose neither people nor words.

To hold one's silence in need of speech shall cost them people; to speak in need of silence shall cost them words.

A reasonable sequence of logic.

Yong - Courage(勇) - the ability to overcome fear, to act decisively.

Have too much of it, and risk becoming a brute; have too little, and risk becoming a craven. It needs harmony and balance.

Uh-huh. So how far are we allowed to go with corporal punishment, again?

I recall no instance of any discussion regarding corporal punishment...

… And Ren - Humanity(仁) - is the benevolence of the heart; the compass of behavior that dictates respect toward every human.

Hmph, clearly, most of the faculties of this 'school' are severely lacking in all three of your criteria. Just how do you think they'll be able to teach the students anything?

Yeah... like a certain someone who needs a lesson in "Ren".

Are you sure I'm in good hands? Just what the heck am I supposed to learn here? Where's Wei?

Mister Wei and Miss Zigong are currently quite preoccupied with handling the monumental task of… paperwork.

Ah, right. Mister Wei wanted me to deliver this message to you.

Be strong... my lady...

WEIIIIIIII!!!!!

Despite her protestations…

The thirty days of classes commenced.
