In this corridor, excluding the officer, there were 10 rooms. Five of them were classrooms and five were children’s dormitories. The dormitories were full of small beds and each one could accommodate 100 people. According to Lin Zuo, the Garden of Eden consists of 10 such corridors and each one held children of the same age. In other words, there were 4,000 children close to the age of six.

“Once the children turn six years old, most of them will be sent to the outer city for adoption. However, now that the outer city has fallen, the main city has to take over the education work after they are six years old. There is a shortage of manpower so it is fortunate that you are here.” Lin Zuo continued, “We don’t dare to hand over children under the age of six to newcomers so this group of children will be assigned to you once they turn six years old.”

An Zhe said, “Okay.”

“At present, further educational arrangements haven’t been. Can the two of you follow me to familiarize yourself with the process?”

Colin nodded. “En.”

Lin Zuo smiled and took a few manuals off the shelf. “This is the textbook and the rotation arrangement. Take a look at it first and ask me if you have any questions.”

An Zhe took his share.

There were two education courses here. One was language and literature and the other was mathematics and logic. An Zhe had received the language and literature textbook. The six year old children had already mastered basic reading and grammar. The textbook consisted of short fables and poems. An Ze had learned these things well so there were no syllables or words that An Zhe didn’t recognize.

After examining the textbook, it was time for class. An Zhe moved a set of tables and chairs to sit in the back corner of the classroom. He held a child’s seating chart. Lin Zuo had told him to attend class and gave him the task of recording the children’s attendance. If a child took the initiative to answer questions or ask questions, they should be given extra points. If they whispered or did irrelevant actions then points should be deducted.

The children all turned their heads and looked at him. Their skin was very soft and their eyes were pure and clean. They wore uniform white clothes, black shorts and had similar short hair styles. Thus, it was hard to distinguish if they were male or female for a while. They whispered a few times as they continued to look at An Zhe. An Zhe smiled at them.

Several of them also smiled at him. One of them blinked, eyelashes fluttering as he asked, “Are you the new teacher?”

An Zhe said, “Yes.”

“Wow.” Another child whispered. “You’re beautiful.”

“Thank you.”

The cub replied, “You’re welcome.”

Another child asked, “What is your name?”

An Zhe told them his name.
