Chapter 659 - The Busy Lives Of Caronians In Baymard

Amidst the raging hatred throughout the Pyno continent, some places were still as peaceful and steady as they usually were.
Well... their chaos was more or less due to excitement rather than rage.
.
'Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!'
In 3 bedroom apartment on Elms street, a very rude alarm clock hurriedly tried to awake Its sleepy master.
'Grraaahh!'
Its master grunted in displeasure, before finally covering his head in his blanket all the more.
Dammit!
The clock was a real hater for all sleep lovers.
'Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!'
'Puchuaahhh!'
"Cough...cough...cough...
Are you trying to kill me?" Said the awaking boy, who had been WWE'd by his sleepy black-haired ghost-like sister.
"Well, if you would've turned off your alarm, then I wouldn't attempt to murder you, would I?" She said, before slamming his door shut loudly.
'Bam!'
And with that, the morning monster had gone.
That's right, his adorable sister that everyone looked up to in school, was a total nightmare in the mornings.
It was truly a transformation for him, whenever he came down for breakfast in the mornings and saw her looking prim and proper.
What happened to the psycho who hadn't even combed her hair yet?
Sigh... Women were truly a mystery.
'Chaack!'
"What do you want now?"
"I forgot my teddy bear!"
'Bam!'
(Y_Y)
The boy quickly got up and hurriedly made his way to the bathroom before the monster came back again for the third time.
Of course, avoiding his sister's attacks wasn't the only thing on his mind.
He was in a rush to arrive early for his Road test.
That's right!
He was already 15 years old and had written the written driver's license test 6 months prior.
And during these 6 months, he had also paid for driving classes too.
So today would be the final day to test everything out.
He hurriedly freshened up and had breakfast alongside his Godzilla-like sister.
As for who he was, well... He was a citizen of Carona born and raised.
His name was Mathew, and he and his sister had temporarily moved into Baymard 2 years back for educational purposes.
He graduated 9 months ago and found a good full-time job here as well.
.
One should know that even though he finished his education, he had student loans to payout, which weren't too much in his case since he used to work part-time while being a student.
Actually, he could finish paying up his dept in a year if he wanted to.
But he chose to drag it out for 2 more years, as he was also sending money home to his parents and whatnot.
Plus he also took over the responsibility of paying his sister's tuition, which relieved her from any part-time jobs during school semesters.
Additionally, paying their rent and making sure that they had enough food and money for medicine also fell unto him now.
So, he decided that it would be wise to drag out the student loan payments for the time being.
And when he and his sister were done, they could go back to Carona and help develop the place.
After all, the Caronian government now welcomed graduates from here with open arms, as they wanted them to put their education to proper use.
Of course, another option was to go to the Caronian office here and have them carry the loans over to Carona.
That is, Carona would pay Baymard for the loans...and the students in turn would have to go back to Carona and work to pay off the loans too.
The payment plans and methods were also similar to Baymard's so everyone felt at ease with this arrangement.
Mathew would have definitely opted for that instead, but he had his sister who would graduate 2 years from now.
So he chose to stay in Baymard for the time being.
In fact, many many graduates who had completed their education went back home instead.
They were now eager and excited to make Carona better, so it was an honour to develop their empire.
.
Carona had changed from the way it used to be.
And now, after Baymard, one could say that Carona was second behind the list in becoming organized, clean and safe.
Anyway, he didn't know if his sister would go back with him after they graduated, because when asked what she wanted to be on career day... she said she wanted to be a chef.
So she might just have to stay here for a few more years and try her luck in getting into Baymard's Culinary and Bartending Academy.
It was the most popular one in the entire Pyno continent, and the hardest one to get in.
People from all over the continent sent chefs and people yearly to take the exam.
Everyone wanted to eat good food, especially after tasting the food cooked here in Baymard.
The difference was like heaven and hell.
Before, he only thought that meat could taste good after throwing it in a pot of boiling water or roasting it until the outer skin is charcoal.
Of course, he would put salt on his meat.
But after coming to Baymard, Dammit!
He had no appetite to eat what he was used to.
So kings, nobles, peasants and many others, sent their men or families to take the exams three times a year.
And those that got in typically had several perks even here in Baymard.
The competition was brutal, and only those approved could get in.
No shortcuts, just hard work.
And funny enough, this was the profession that his sister was leaning towards.
Sigh... he could only aid her by letting her cook and experiment in the house daily.
After all, she would need to be prepared when she graduated.
So during long vacations, it was best for her to work in a restaurant or whatnot.
Not for the money, but for the experience.
But during school semesters, he wouldn't allow her to work since she had to strictly focus on getting better grades.
That was for the best.
