Early Life
Mr. David Durant was born into a middle class working family. He was an only child, and was frequently spoiled by his parents.[1] David Durant's mother, was a housewife while his dad was the owner of a small bakery in East Pai'an. David started school in the Makea Primary School in East Pai'an in which he'd score top of his class. David was known for his talent, and would be seen by his parents researching political topics, ideologies and beliefs when he was only 9.[2] After finishing primary school at the age of 12, David moved to Pai'anian Secondary School and later graduated with a diploma.
After completing secondary school, David Durant decided to take 2 years off to get a job and help his parents pay for his university degree. His first job ever was working at his dad's baker (The Durant Bakery, which still exists today). He worked there for 2 years. At the age of 19, he took out a student loan and attended the National University of Cintralia. Allegedly, this was very expensive on the Durant family's end, as he had to move to Cintralia (which costed at the time around 1,000 C$ as well as 5,000 C$ for transportation, food and other supplies) as well as pay for his degree. David Durant got a bachelor's degree after 4 years, and then got into the master program and got a master's degree in 2 years.

David Durant joined the military, and completed his 1 year of mandatory service. After that, he decided to continue for another 5 years. His salary as a soldier made his life a lot easier, but he still wanted more glory and success even after commanding the 66th Army of the Coalitanian Army as a General.
