Current You'd think after like 15 years I'd stop feeling like a fraud when writing posts but I still do which is both a statement on my self confidence and a compliment to how good my partners are as writers

Well yeah, but look at it this way. Say you discovered a feral child, and you wanted to make them a functional member of society. Would you lock them away and only see men in white lab coats? Or would you want them to meet more people and get a variety of experiences and conversations?


Have you ever seen L'Enfant sauvage? Because it's literally about a feral child being unable to learn anything by meeting people/being put in academic institutions up until a doctor takes him into his home and teaches him.

This is also based on a true story so clearly the way to go isn't to put the feral person in a school where he won't understand a thing OR to put him in a lab, but to pawn him off on some unfortunate old doctor and have him sort it out.

Also, sorry, Vita, I'll stop now

Now you're forgetting the most important question of all: would doing it in a lab be fun?


I mean...I assume it would be for the scientists. Probably not for the subject but then...what subjects ever have fun in labs. Maybe the mice if they get cheese.

I was expecting you to say that.
Being 22 doesn't matter. Kodor has no formal education and speaks only a little English. Or I guess technically Japanese, but we write it as English, because that's our common language.

Secondly, the magical schools that exist seem to be rather secretive. This means that one building is going to house a larger portion of the magical society, so this school could actually encompass high school, but also middle school and even university ages.
But what's more important than Kodor's education is Kodor's use FOR education. As I said previously, psychologists and sociologists would have a field day with someone like him. So while he's learning things like reading, 'riting, and 'rithmitic, he's also learning to integrate with society and in the future he'll be useful as a guide in his homeland, a dangerous wasteland filled with rare and dangerous things.

One might say his existence at the school is a little odd, but the school teaches wizards and demons. If half your student body is pyromancers, Kodor's almost normal for you.


If half the school is witches and wizards, a berzerker prone to fits of rage would still be unusual. It would be like if in Hogwarts they had Grawp taking lessons with the students. Yeah Grawp might fit in with the overall world, but he doesn't fit in at Hogwarts. You can claim that Kodor fits the lore (and really what lore is there other than 'magical school like a Zero no Tsukaima or something) but the setting is a different story.

If someone like Kodor was discovered today people wouldn't send him to high school. They wouldn't send him to college either. Because they could accomplish everything you mention in a lab.

The bio totally makes sense in-universe. There's still lots of untamed and unexplored lands in the world, from northern tundras, deep forests, barren deserts, and the secret underground second layer of Earth hidden below Antarctica. And in this scenario it's got, like, minotaurs and stuff.

And a school contains professors. Professors actually usually engage in scientific studies, and a person who's grown up apart from any known civilization is a huge find. They're especially helpful if they know about the area being explored and its flora and fauna. So knowledge about Kodor's homeland is useful to biologists, archaeologists, alchemists, monster studies, etc.
Reintegrating Kodor into society by itself is a psychologist's dream study, a task that could earn a Nobel prize.


I mean, a 22 year old person is probably more likely to be studied at a university rather than a high school.
@MiddleEarthRoze If she doesn't shout 'DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY!' at some point then I'll be very, very sad.
@MiddleEarthRoze Acceptable.
