Dean nodded slightly. A few days ago, Gray and his wife had talked to him about this matter. They hoped that he could inherit Gray's sewing skills and become an excellent tailor. But Dean had a goal in his heart, so he directly refused.
Gray couple was not angry. It was a good thing for a child to have his own ideas. They were not a serf family, so they were worried that their child would get into trouble.
"Unfortunately, it is too difficult to become a doctor. If you had followed me from childhood, then there would be hope to learn." Jura pinched the vegetable roll. She felt some regret. Dean was a smart child, but unfortunately, he was too late. When he became a doctor, he had passed the age where the doctor's senses were the most sensitive.
"Tell me, what do you want to learn?" Gray smiled.
Dean looked up at them and said: "Law."
"Law?" Gray couple was startled. Jura asked: "Dean, do you know what profession this is?"
"I know. It is one of the three civilian professions, just like doctors." When Dean got the list of professions given by Gray, he locked on to this profession. For him, it was the most suitable profession to understand the difference between this world and the modern world.
Gray solemnly said: "You have to think clearly, law school is the most difficult, even more difficult than being a doctor. It requires a very flexible thinking and logical ability. Although you are a smart and well-behaved child, you did not receive any basic learning in the orphanage. If you want to graduate from law school and become a qualified priest, it will be very difficult!"
Dean looked straight at him and insisted: "I want to learn this."
Gray frowned slightly. This was the first time that Dean was so persistent in front of them. He did not know how to refuse. Since the last time he was rejected by Avril's family, some of his thoughts had faded. He regarded Dean as his real child, so he didn't want to easily hurt their feelings.
Jura saw that Dean was so serious, so she pulled Gray's sleeve and said: "Since the child wants to learn, then let him learn. Even if he can't enter the magistrate, it is good to be an ordinary lawyer. At least he is familiar with the law, and won't break the law. He will be safe."
Dean looked at her and silently said in his heart: "I study the law, not to obey it, but to break it!"
Gray sighed and said, "Alright, let's listen to him."
Dean was relieved. He looked at them and said: "Thank you!"
Gray smiled as he heard Dudian's words: "Since you have chosen, then stick to it. If you don't want to learn, then come back and learn sewing from me. Be a textile worker and you can support yourself."
Dean nodded.

When the Black Death Season arrived, the temperature warmed up a lot.
On the third day before the academy reopened, there was a special holiday called the Day of Prayer.
Every family gathered in groups and headed to the Cathedral of Weyar in the middle of the residential area. They prayed to God the Father to let them safely survive the Black Death Season, so that the plague and disease would not befall them.
It was a grand ceremony.
Gray and his wife also went to pray with Dean. Dean saw the world's faith for the first time, the Holy Church. However, this was just a branch of the Radiant Church built in the residential area. A huge statue of a four-winged angel was erected in the middle of the square. Its two arms seemed to embrace all the believers, full of benevolence and peace.
The Day of Prayer passed. Three days later, the various schools began to enroll students.
Dean was led by Gray and his wife to the law school about ten kilometers away from his home. He saw bustling parents and children waiting here. These parents and children were dressed in simple clothes and had clean skin. They were completely different from the ordinary workers who were emaciated or had rough skin. After all, the tuition of the law school was also notoriously expensive. Ordinary working families could not afford it.
"I heard that if you want to enter the law school, you need to pass the assessment."
"I already know. Do you think it is the same as the Sewing School or the Geology School?"
"I don't know what the assessment will be."
Some parents whispered to each other.
Gray asked: "Is there an assessment for the law school?"
"Of course, it is the same as our medical school." Jura blinked and bowed to Dean: "You have to work hard. I remember that the assessment will be some simple things. Our medical school tests memory. It should be the same here."
Gray smiled at Dean: "It depends on your own performance. If you don't pass, we will go to the Sewing School to sign up."
Dean rolled his eyes in his heart. If it was really a memory test, he could kill the examiner in minutes. His IQ was 142. In the olden era, this was already considered a 'genius' IQ. Those with an IQ of 120 to 140 were considered smart, and most people had an IQ of 90 to 110. As for that monster of a sister of his, her IQ was 168. That was what it meant to have a photographic memory. At the age of 12, she was accepted into Harvard University.
The siblings' IQ was so high because they inherited the genes of their parents. Both of them were scientists who had won international awards. If it was not for the outbreak of the disaster, they would have won another international award with the invention of the "freezing chamber".
At this time, the parents in front went in one after another. Soon it was Dean's turn.
"Parents stop. Children come over to take the assessment." A middle-aged man stopped Gray and his wife.
"Dean, come on!" Jura encouraged Dean, but Dean felt that the smile in her eyes was too cheerful.
Entering the spacious room, he saw two middle-aged examiners, a man and a woman, wearing black robes with complex golden silk embroidery patterns, simple and gorgeous. They saw Dudian, smiled and said: "Child, come here."
Dean stepped forward.
"Let me ask you a question. You have a frying pan. It can only fry two fish at a time. It takes one minute to fry one side. How many minutes does it take to fry three fish?" The middle-aged woman on the left smiled.
"Three minutes." Dean replied without thinking.
The two examiners were surprised. The question was not difficult, but even some smart children needed to think a little before they could answer it. But Dudian didn't think about it and directly said the answer. Moreover, it was correct!
"You passed, child. You are very smart." The middle-aged man on the right smiled and said: "Take this and go to the side for a physical examination. If there is no problem with the physical examination, you can officially go to the Law School." He handed a small note to Dean with a few words written on it.
There is a physical examination? Dean frowned slightly, nodded and turned to leave the room.
"So difficult!"
"I said four minutes, but they said I was wrong. Isn't it four minutes? If you want to fry both sides, it must take four minutes!"
"There is a problem with this question. Why do you want to fry fish? I don't like to eat fish. What's the relationship between frying fish and the law?"
"Yes, my father is a chef. He can fry three fish in one minute. They don't believe me, humph!"
As soon as Dean came out of the room, he heard a few children coming out of the assessment room and complaining about the exam. His mouth twitched slightly. He pretended not to hear those words and turned back to the waiting Gray couple.
"How is it?" Gray smiled. He also heard the children's words. Although he didn't know what the specific exam was, it seemed that it was not so easy to pass.
Dean faintly looked at him and said: "Passed. Next is the physical examination."
Gray's smile stagnated. He was somewhat discouraged. But when he thought that Dean was smarter than the other children, he beamed with joy.
"The physical examination is to test the radiation value in your body. Judging from Dean's skin color, the radiation value is certainly not high. There will be no problem for you to pass." Jura seemed to know something.
Dean's heart was moved. Nuclear radiation lines were everywhere in the world when the global nuclear war broke out. The silver-grey clouds in the sky also gathered a lot of nuclear radiation dust. That's why there was a rainy season. The rain was extremely dangerous for the world. It could even be fatal. If you got wet, you would get sick. If it was light, you would get sick. If it was heavy, you might even die.
However, he had just come out of the freezer. He had lived here for a few months, so the radiation value in his body should not be high.
However, he was very curious. What did these people use to test the radiation value?
Was it an instrument? But the steam era hadn't entered here. How could they know about electricity?
At this time, Jura took him to a room next to the "physical examination". There was no line inside. After all, not many people could pass the first assessment. There was a middle-aged woman sitting inside. She saw the small note in Dean's hand and smiled: "Come over."
Dean went forward and looked around. He didn't see any instrument, but there was a row of glass tubes that looked like thermometers.
The middle-aged woman took the note from his hand and glanced at it. Seeing that it was real, she picked up a clean glass tube from the side. There was a fine scale on it. She pointed the sharp end at Dean's small hand and said with a smile, "Child, don't be afraid. It won't hurt."
Dean didn't think that the thing to test the radiation value was such a small glass tube.
The sharp end of the glass tube pierced into Dean's finger. Soon, dark red blood penetrated into the glass tube. At this time, Dean noticed that there was a hair-like red line on the scale of the glass tube. It rose slightly and stopped at the first grid at the bottom of the scale.
The middle-aged woman looked at it and confirmed that she wasn't seeing things. She couldn't help but look at Dean in astonishment. She noticed that Dean's skin was much whiter than other children. Even the girls of the same age didn't have such a white skin.
There was a trace of understanding in her eyes. She looked at the Gray couple next to her and said: "Such a low radiation value. It's the first time I've seen it. It's incredible. I guess only in the commercial district can such a healthy body appear."
Jura obviously knew the radiometer. She was also shocked. She looked at her husband and said: "This is a radiometer. It's specially used to test the human radiation value. Dean's radiation value … is quite low, even lower than ours. It's estimated that he's comparable to those noble children."
Gray knew the importance of the human radiation value, but he didn't care. Jura said that he was comparable to the noble children, which made him happy. He lovingly stroked Dean's hair.
Dean glanced at the red line on the radiometer. He suddenly felt that the line was slightly twisting. It seemed that … it was a living thing!

On the night of Dean's registration, in a castle in the commercial district.
