Extra. Adam\'s day

====

A bright sunny morning. Adam slowly opened his eyes, momentarily blinded by the vivid sunlight reflecting on the glass. The first sensation he felt was a slight weight on him.

"M-m-m..."

A soft moan escaped him as Adam realized someone was tightly embracing him. Looking down, he saw Amarantha, peacefully asleep, paying no attention to anything. Smiling, Adam chuckled and ran his fingers through her hair, then began to survey his surroundings.

"It seems the girls left a while ago. I overslept... what time is it now?" he thought, squinting and checking the wall clock, which showed ten in the morning. He sighed, "It\'s so unusual to wake up at this time. Feels like I\'ve been asleep my whole life and just woke up."

Adam got up from his bed effortlessly, having learned how to slip out of Amarantha\'s embrace quietly over time.

Exiting his bedroom, Adam was already dressed in his classic attire – a solid gray double-breasted suit with matching trousers, a top hat on his head, and a cane in his hand. This look was somewhat unfamiliar to him, as he was used to jeans and oversized clothing, but he enjoyed the possibilities it offered.

The man had many connections with prominent traders. He collaborated with Ricky, a renowned designer, and Sabrina with Marina, who understood fashion well and could assist him. Thus, he could always look stylish and impressive.

Adam\'s day started with a cup of coffee... or not! The first thing he had to do was enter his office and issue orders for the construction of the new city, allocate funds to Veridia Company to stand against Branks Company and other competitors breathing down his neck.

And such a daily routine made his nerves heat up to incredible temperatures. However, all these challenges had to be overcome to ensure a comfortable life. That\'s why he worked so hard, tirelessly.

Chirp. Chirp.

In Adam\'s office, Ekaterina was already seated, filling out papers and checking documents. She was one of Adam\'s most important assistants, handling matters that he didn\'t have time for, and his direct involvement was not required. Additionally, she managed the estate and the maids; her work was indispensable.

"Good morning, master," respectfully greeted Ekaterina, preparing to stand up but stopped when she saw Adam\'s gesture, indicating her not to rise. She sat back down and lowered her head, saying, "Master, in your absence, I received requests from Mr. Ricky and Mr. Avalon for financial assistance in creating new branches. I found their explanations worthy and gave permission."

"Well done, good job. I trust you in financial matters, and I\'m confident that you understand better than me where it\'s worth investing money," he said with a smile. As he passed by her, he gently patted the girl\'s head.

"M-m..."

The seemingly cold-looking maid showed a sweet reaction, blushing like an enamored girl, looking at Adam with her beautiful dark green eyes filled with adoration and worship. Undoubtedly, she was infatuated with him but concealed these emotions well from others.

Sitting at his desk, the man picked up a random piece of paper and started his workday. The rustling of paper was the only sound that could be heard during their work, as both understood the importance of focusing their attention on the internal affairs of Veridia Company and the city of Sedyon.

Stepping outside, Adam looked at the fallen snow. The weather in this world was too unpredictable, making it hard to predict what today would be like. However, it couldn\'t be ignored that the scene was beautiful. He took a cigarette from his case and lit it.

Pfshh-h-hhh.

Smoke mixed with his breath emerged from his mouth, creating a mist. Meanwhile, a light snowfall began again, peaceful and gentle. Small snowflakes fell on his shoulder and instantly melted, while children nearby giggled, attempting to build a snowman from the freshly fallen snow, but without much success.

"Hey! My snowman doesn\'t want to come together!" the boy said in a disappointed voice.

Near the estate, there was a playground with many amusements. Four children had gathered there, two boys and two girls, playing together. Adam extinguished his cigarette and approached them. He smiled when he saw that the kids were struggling to make a proper snowman since the snow was still too soft and melted easily.

"What\'s up, little ones, having trouble building a snowman?" he asked with a smile, putting his hands in his jacket pockets.

"Uncle Adam!"

The man was familiar with these kids; they often came here to play. The one who called his name was Susie, a little girl with long, light, curly hair and a red ribbon. She was kind and friendly, always helping others.

Another girl was named Cassidy. She was a sweet girl with long black hair. The other two boys, Fritz with freckles, and Gabriel in a black-and-white striped shirt.

"The snow is still too soft, so it\'s hard to make a proper snowman. But... magic always helps!" Adam said with a playfully exaggerated voice, clapping his hands cheerfully.

Suddenly, snow began to rise from the ground, forming into a ball and then into a snowman. Adam snapped his fingers, and stones flew out from under the snow, flying towards the snowman\'s face, creating eyes and a mouth.

"Wow!"

The children were genuinely surprised by this display of magic. Adam didn\'t see anything cool in it, as he was long accustomed to it. However, the children joyfully smiled and jumped around the snowman, making him smile too.

"I have a little nose from my broken toy!" Gabriel suddenly said, putting his hand in his pocket and taking out a nose resembling that of a teddy bear. He jumped and stuck his nose into the snowman.

"Well done. Now we\'ve got a cool snowman!" Adam praised them and smiled.

Other children started approaching them – Charlotte, Vanessa, Michael, and Elizabeth.

Today, Sedyon was filled with cheerful children\'s laughter.

***

Adam secretly went to visit the schools of Sedyon, which he had relatively recently built. Many children had already been sent there, and the total number of students in just one school exceeded two hundred. Fortunately, most of them were passionate about their studies and achieved good grades, but some struggled to learn.

There were twenty candidates for scholarships from the school, representing the future of the city. They were dedicated and sincere, already instilled with patriotism for Sedyon. Adam tried every method to teach the children that Sedyon was the only place where they would be welcomed.

And though it was harsh, he wanted to build a solid foundation for the future. That was his vision.

"The building is well-made, there\'s heating, a cafeteria, all the amenities, and good security," he thought as he walked towards the school entrance with his hands in his pockets.

There were a total of five such schools, each equipped with all the comforts and protection to provide good living conditions for the children. Teachers were selected very carefully, and any slightest blemish in their past could be a reason not to hire them.

The school operated on a five-day schedule, but those who wished to receive a scholarship had to opt for a six-day learning program. There were seven lessons per day, each lasting 50 minutes, with a 25-minute break and a one-hour lunch break. The lessons started early at 8 AM and ended closer to 3 PM.

It was challenging, indeed. The workload on the children was substantial, but most of them didn\'t complain because they understood that their future depended on it. Teachers always emphasized that graduates could get prestigious jobs where they would earn more than 500 Dragon Stones per month! Such an amount could allow an ordinary person to live comfortably for two years without the need for frugality.

Naturally, people from poor families were much more diligent.

So, the first lesson for the children was always literature. Each of them had to learn to read and write at the highest level. The second lesson was arithmetic, the third was history, the fourth was fencing and magic, the fifth was creativity, the sixth was exploration, and the seventh lesson was for the children to undergo various types of tests.

Explaining in more detail, starting from the fourth lesson, children are taught various crafts to help them find a skill and uncover their talents. For example, in the creativity class, they can try different crafts and learn them. Meanwhile, the sixth lesson is designed to teach them to explore ancient runes and magical pentagrams.

In the seventh lesson, tests are often given that need to be solved within a time limit. These are various types of tests – psychological, and mathematical. In simpler terms, it\'s a knowledge check for teachers to understand where the student has gaps.

Watching the progress of the lessons, Adam had his thoughts on this matter.

"Most children are focused on their studies, but only 5% out of a hundred can become great talents," he thought, standing up when the bell rang.

The level of education was as he wanted. The children carried out assignments without complaints, while teachers did everything possible to fill the gaps in the children\'s knowledge.
