[He nods slowly. Sure, there's were teachers in Hoshido. But mostly as tutors to nobility, like himself. Or taught at the collages that trained the bureaucrats and samurai. Most village people learned their trades from their families or someone in the area that was already an expert. Temple schools were becoming more common too, so it wasn't too strange for a few people in a village to know how to read and write and spread it around. Just not to this massive degree. Was this entire building a school?]

I think I understand. Do they just teach these things here, or did you learn writing as well? And numbers?
