[POV: 3rd Person]
[Scene: Hokage Office]
[Track Change: Naruto 'Oh! Student and Teacher Affection']
After such a long meeting, a [FIGHT], and awakening Naruto and Sasuke's Magic, both Asriel and Renjiro were very drained. As such wrapping up the meeting and resting were important. However, with a certain vulpine companion finding a place to rest for under 600 Ryo was an impossibility. Renjiro also knew that if the clan heads wanted to awaken their children's Magic that Asriel would also have to teach them how, and Renjiro when, to use it properly. So, Renjiro needed to ask for a subsidized house from the village. He began,
"Lord Fourth, as we are not native to Konoha we do not have any accommodations, and with Kurama-ojisan needing to stay with us, I'm afraid an inn will not be able to or willing to accommodate us. Additionally, in the future we will need a space for teaching Naruto and Sasuke about when and how to use their Magic, and this will require a decent sized accommodation, especially if the clan heads wish to accept our offer to teach Magic."
"You make a good point, I will arrange some accommodations for you and Kurama. Do you have any requests for location?" Minato agreed before asking.
Asriel spoke this time, "Lord Fourth, with our abilities we would like to be able to work at the hospital, if an available accommodation is near the hospital that would be our first choice. Otherwise, if we end up taking multiple students then an accommodation located more centrally would be convenient for our students and their families."
Koharu Utatane, the elder in charge of the hospital's operation during Tsunade's absence, upon hearing Asriel state his willingness to work in the hospital was ecstatic. However, as an elder she felt the need to keep face, so with a happy yet composed expression said,
"That's a great suggestion, the hospital is very understaffed, having another medic will be an excellent opportunity. However, we will need to test your knowledge before allowing you to start procedures, I hope you understand."
"Of course, Elder, we understand the responsibilities that come with working in a hospital. An inexperienced medic can do more harm than good. Renjiro-nii has studied for many years in Health Science and got a degree in Medicine. He is very impressive, he helped me find where and how to treat Kushina-sama and Naruto-kun." Asriel said, almost bragging about his brother like it was his own accomplishment.
"A degree? What's that? You mentioned it before." Homura Mitokado asked, puzzled.
Renjiro seeing the confusion on both elders and a few clan heads spoke,
"A degree is a type of certification, my degree in Medicine, is a certification acknowledging my comprehensive knowledge of the Human body, various diseases, clinical skills, ethical integrity, diagnosis, and basic treatments, not including surgeries. The only way to earn such a degree is to attend a college or university. To compare to Konoha's education system, Age 6 is the start of Ninja Academy and my world's Elementary School, both lasting 5 years.
However, due to my world being one where war is rare and not thought of or seen by many, our first 5 years revolve around learning to communicate comprehensively as well as reading, writing, basic arithmetic, morals, and ethics. The Academy, however, teaches all of this and the basics of Chakra, basic Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Bukijutsu, stealth, trap setting, intelligence gathering, history, and advanced mathematics.
While I understand that different worlds, situations, and careers can change how children must be raised and taught, in my opinion such an accelerated schedule can be a double-edged sword. Some children need to be given a challenging curriculum for them to achieve success, while others cannot handle such a fast-paced schedule and fall behind, causing anxiety and leading to a 'as long as I pass, I can fake it until I make it' mentality. This can lead to otherwise successful Genin either dropping out or graduating woefully unprepared."
