In her room, Chiara wakes up during the day, her hair looking messy She walks towards the door, exits.
Chiara was seen walking in the hallway, passing through the empty living room, there was no one. He checked the living room, there was no one.A moment later he smelled the aroma from the kitchen, he just found Aleyna who was cooking.
"Where is Zaid?" Chiara asked her mother.
"He was put in the foster home by your father this morning" replied Aleyna. He focused on his work.
"Oh..." Chiara. "E, but why?'
"You're saying that kid has powers too, we don't have much time to train him, you know?"
Chiara recalled that she had told him a few things about Zaid, when Zaid and Elena went to sleep after listening to his story.
"E, but maybe I can train him," Chiara said confidently.
"Aleynq chuckled. "You're not enough yourself. Your father wants the boy trained harder so that next year he can pass the selection and enter the magic academy of the early middle level."
Chiara was somewhat surprised to hear that fact. "But, won't it be difficult for Zaid to pass the selection later? Especially if you only practice for a year.
"Mama knew for herself, to pass the selection, Zaid had to fight children who had previously practiced magic at the elementary level for 6 years. Zaid never even knew he had powers before, nor did he have any companion animals of his own, Zaid too-"
"That's why your father handed it to Master Zhang, Chiara," explained Aleyana, cutting Chiara's sentence.
Hearing the name 'Master Zhang', Chiara knew her mother meant Zhang Xiao, the owner of the orphanage. He didn't know much about Zhang Xiao, who obviously knew his father was close enough to him.
"Your uncle was once trained by Mr. Zhang," said Aleyna again, "but he said he didn't really feel trained by him."
Hearing that, Chiara became astonished, how would Master Zhang train her harder if Uncle alone did not feel trained by her? Think Chiara.

Meanwhile, at Zhang Xiao's orphanage, Zaid is disguised alongside a pair of Ichi and Icha twins, who are two years older than Zaid; they are 14 years old. In addition to Ichi and Icha, there is also Ryan who is the same age as Zaid; 12 years.
"Ichi-Icha, both of them have dark brown curly hair, their eyebrows are not too thin, not too thick, their skin is pale, their noses are pointed. However, what is unique about this pair of twins is their eyeballs, besides being clear, the color of their eyeballs are striped; the other is green, the other is blue. Both are very difficult to distinguish, especially when viewed from afar. The difference between the two lies only in the eyeball; Ichi has green eyes on the left, blue eyes on the right, while his sister, Icha, on the other hand.
While Ryan, he is a descendant of the Esia/Indonesia tribe, his skin is yellow, his eyes are black, his hair is cut short. He told Zaid that he had been in the orphanage for 7 years.
"I'm happy to have a roommate who's the same age as me, even more so he's a boy."
That's what Ryan told Zaid this morning. He was also enthusiastic about showing the four of them on the roof.
now the twins, Zaid, Ryan and the others are gathered in a fairly large room, a dining room filled with 4 tables, on each table there are two long chairs arranged face to face. One table can be filled with 4 to 6 people.
"Everything," Zhang Xiao exclaimed loudly, "take enough food and spend it, Lest anything be exhausted. And remember to wash the spoon dishes, and your old cutlery eat each one of them! If anyone disobeys, I will punish them!"
And as the children began to dip the rice in the baskets available on each table, pouring out side dishes, Zhang Xiao stepped his foot, about to go out through the door.
"Ah, come on Zaid, don't be shy, " said Ichi, who shifted the warm rice basket to the face of Zaid. Ichi himself had already sniffed his rice.
"Yes, don't hesitate, eat" added Icha, her sister. He tried to smile kindly. Ichi-Icha sits next to each other. While Ryan beside Zaid had already started eating his food voraciously, he paid no heed to Zaid.
Zaid began to sneak his rice and take the side dish.
"Oh, yes," Zaid said after whispering. He ventured to speak. "Will all children really be punished for not obeying his orders? I mean for a kid like him, "Zaid glances at a little boy who looks like he's 5 years old at another table. "Do you need to be punished?"
"Yes," replied Ryan with a mouthful of rice, all will be punished, without exception even small children. "
Ichi chuckled. "all the children will indeed be punished, Zaid," he explained. "But Mr. Zhang will also give a punishment that is appropriate for their age, sometimes the punishment is also a little harsh but not really harsh. And again the punishment given by Mr. Zhang, also a useful punishment, such as finding firewood, well... Although the boy actually could not get such a punishment, anyway. And other punishments such as added practice time, cleaning and others. When to get hit or just stand in the corner, because he said it did not provide benefits. It might make a deterrent, but it'll make the kids be scared and not open to it."
Zaid understands. "But, are all the children here washing their own clothes?"
"Not just clothes." This time Icha answered. "All children aged 5 years and over are required to be independent in any case, washing clothes and dishes, cleaning, tidying bookshelves, and almost everything. And for a 13-year-old, he will be taught to cook, while a 10-to-12-year-old can only observe, memorize and write the recipe."
"But that 5-year-old boy" whispered Zaid, "can he wash clothes? If you can, don't you pity? it's too much for him" Zaid said, disagreeing.
"Yes, for children 5 to 7 years, they will only be taught how to wash, while the other clothes are mostly washed by teenagers; 13 years and above. Children who are too young only wash 1 to 2 pieces of clothing to learn to wash."
"And--"
"Take your food Zaid" said Ryan, "don't ask me, just later."
"Oh, sorry." Zaid glanced at Ryan's plate, it was already half over.
Zaid was about to try his food, hesitating at first for fear of being bad, but his guess was wrong. It was delicious, it tasted exactly the same as the food on Earth, yet it was much tastier.
Zaid immediately ate so voraciously that he choked. He smacked his chest.
"God slowly Zaid," said Icha, he poured water in the teapot and thrust it at Zaid.
"Thank you." Zayd accepted it and drank it straight away. After it was over, he felt better.
"It turns out there's something more voracious than me" Ryan chanted, "I have to hide my snack."
Ichi-Icha laughs.
Zaid scratched his head, misbehaving.
