As Anthony and Michael kept talking about the battlefield and him graduating, the Academy wasn't really in peace nor was it going in its normal academic direction.
The Academy was in a massive uproar as they received a mission complete notification from Meek on Anthony's orders immediately the three days limit was reached.
No one could believe their eyes, all professor and those in lower ranks were all dumbfounded.
Even the Dean and Vice president didn't believe Anthony could complete the mission, which was why the Dean called Collins in the first place to save the 'arrogant' Anthony.
Although some had thoughts that Anthony had cheated his way through in order to complete the mission, they quickly deleted such thoughts from their minds.
The Academy was anything but lenient when it came to their rules.
Some had tried exploiting loopholes during their Academy mission, but were they really loopholes or something just left by the Academy as they didn't really bother to even fill up the gap as they guessed that even the most brain dead would understand what should be done and what shouldn't be done.
During missions, duration of completion are given, and some can exceed the duration due to certain circumstances which the Academy understands as a battlefield remains unpredictable and ever changing.
But if that duration is exceed without any peculiar or particular reason, you would be fined by the Academy.
But during that duration, many people have done many other things during their course of completing the Academy missions.
Of course the Academy doesn't really care about this if it doesn't break any rules or risk people's lives.
During the mission, some opt to visit their family and friends, some tend to just relax and play around as they decided to take a break from the Academy under the pretext of completing a mission.
The Academy doesn't have any issue with this as long as you complete the mission within the duration given after galavanting and wasting time.
But if after wasting time, you didn't complete the mission or even exceeded the duration, the Academy would hit you with an absurd fine that would remove every thoughts of relaxing during a mission.
Everyone knows this, so even if people still dared to relax and chill, they immediately complete the mission afterwards.
Some choose to complete the mission on time then relax using the remaining time from the duration.
Some also accept missions and complete it together with other students, this is also fine.
But how you share the reward depends on the group and has nothing to do with the Academy.
But as usual, there are some dumb ones that refuse to even think before they act.
They take on missions that are beyond their abilities, then use their families power or hire people using quarks to complete the mission in their 'name' or together with them.
The Academy didn't even let such idiots exist within their vicinity.
Such act was a direct expulsion, no fine, no nothing, you just get sent home and that's all.
No matter how hard they try to hide the fact that they received help, they can't.
Also adding that factor to their movement route, the monsters that would attack would be endless and in waves.
And the final factor..... BETRAYAL
Although Meek made preparations to prevent other people from knowing what was in the van, if any Amos and his brothers or Zara and Clara found out what was in the van, they would definitely kill each other for it.
And in such a scuffle how could a student survive the might of Masters and a Grandmaster, the Academy simply didn't believe a student could survive this.
This was the reason why Meek didn't say anything about what was in the van.
If they found out, everyone would definitely attack him.
Although he has his Grandmaster bodyguard to protect him, against numbers and powerful and experienced Masters he would still die.
The difference between the Grandmaster rank and the Master rank wasn't like the difference between a Paragon and a Grandmaster where a Paragon could simply lay waste to Grandmasters effortlessly.
Although Anthony knew what was in the van, he simply didn't care about such 'trash'.
During the mission, Amos and rest guessed that whatever the monsters wanted from the van had to be incredible to make them fall into such a frenzy state.
But could the 'thing' in the van that they protect also help them.
They didn't have the answer to this, so they basically didn't attack each other just to get an unknown and uncertain reward.
It wasn't worth the risk.
The risk outweighed the reward.
So the Academy took in all these factors into play before placing a whooping hundred million Academy points as rewards.
So the reward was calculated in a difference of the student and the mission itself.
Any other students that touched that mission certainly won't return alive.
Although many had life saving treasures on them, you have to be faster than you opponent to even activate the treasure in the first place.
