Chapter 2018 Academy Vision

As Emery followed the grand magus through the hall, they ventured deeper into the heart of the mountain core. With each step, Emery deliberately let out a deep sigh, a gesture that elicited a small chuckle from the graceful grand magus.

Noticing his sigh, Emery couldn't help but voice his thoughts. "Master, I hope next time you could brief me first before throwing me into such a situation," he remarked.

In response, the grand magus smiled reassuringly. "I knew you could handle it, and you did," she said with confidence. "In fact, you exceeded my expectations."

Emery sighed once more, reflecting on the events that had unfolded just minutes ago. The deputy headmaster had thrust him into a challenging situation, forcing him to prove himself and silence the dissatisfied outer realm instructors. Simultaneously, he had managed to identify those who could pose a threat to the academy's stability.

As Emery contemplated the fate of Coral and Sadis, pondering what actions the Deputy Headmaster might take against them, the grand magus seemed to anticipate his thoughts.

"Don't worry, those two will be removed from the academy," she assured him.

"Removed? Fired?!" Emery echoed, taken aback. After a moment of consideration, he nodded in agreement. "Yes, that would be for the best."

It was clear to Emery that individuals with such questionable character were unfit to serve as magus instructors. The age-old adage rang true in this instance: there were no bad students, only bad teachers.

However, the grand magus's response also served as confirmation of the Deputy Headmaster's true intentions. She was undoubtedly taking steps to purge the academy of instructors who didn't meet its standards. Emery couldn't help but recognize the calculated nature of her actions.

The deliberate decision to assign an instructor with his background to the last chosen hall seemed almost cruel in its execution. However, her reputation as an oracle, blessed with the gift of foresight, suggests that every move she made was deliberate and calculated. Perhaps, in her wisdom, she foresaw no harm befalling Emery despite the challenging circumstances.

Moreover, Emery recognized that the grand magus had to maintain impartiality and fairness, especially given the intricate web of factional interests that permeated the Magus academy.

After a moment of contemplation, Emery addressed the grand magus with a calm demeanor. "Master, I never envisioned you as someone who would engage in these kinds of actions."

Emery's contemplation delved deeper as he unraveled the intricacies of the system. The presence of various factions within the halls not only guaranteed security but also served to distribute responsibilities, thereby easing the strain on the academy's resources. This was particularly crucial during critical periods when enforcers and military personnel were needed at the forefront of conflicts. Additionally, the strategic placement of significant forces in three separate locations effectively established miniature bases, fortifying the quadrants and enhancing overall defense capabilities.

As Emery pieced together the puzzle, he began to appreciate the multifaceted benefits of this arrangement. Beyond security, fostering relationships between factions within their respective quadrants would not only promote growth and cooperation but also create a network of support that could be mobilized in times of need. The synergistic effect of nurturing talent while simultaneously strengthening security through inter-factional collaboration was an ingenious stroke of organizational design.

It became clear why the Magus Alliance council swiftly reached a consensus on developing all three academies simultaneously.

The grand magus provided Emery with further insight into the academy's management structure, revealing that only 100 magus levels served as internal staff shared among the three academies. This revelation shed light on the magnitude of their responsibilities and the careful allocation of personnel required to support such a massive undertaking.

To support such a massive task, Grand Magus Aurora was willing to assume the role of Deputy at Alpha Academy, Grand Magus Yvere at Beta Academy, and Delbrand was appointed Headmaster of Delta Academy. All of them operated under the leadership of Supreme Magus Altus, who now held the prestigious position of Senior Council overseeing the Magus Alliance's education ministry.

This information was eye-opening for Emery, offering a glimpse into the intricate web of leadership and decision-

making processes within the academy. It underscored the importance of each individual's role in maintaining the academy's operations and ensuring its continued success.

Emery seized the opportunity to pose a question, one that had been weighing on his mind since his appointment.

"Master," his tone earnest and inquisitive, "please tell me, why did you choose me?"

Emery's mind swirled with uncertainty as he pondered the reasons behind his selection. He couldn't shake the feeling of inadequacy, lacking both the resources and experience to contribute significantly to the academy's mission. It seemed improbable that he had been chosen solely due to his strength or personal connections.

In response to Emery's query, the deputy headmaster merely smiled, directing his attention to a massive door at the end of the hall. "We are here," she said cryptically, "and coincidentally, one of your answers lies beyond this door."

As they approached the door, the grand magus revealed a complex array of glowing runes adorning its surface. This high-grade locking mechanism was beyond Emery's comprehension, requiring the deputy's special key and token to grant access. A surge of anticipation coursed through Emery as the door swung open, revealing a sight that left him awestruck.
