Chapter 2128 Deans Meet
Raios's whole journey to the mountain was not exactly smooth, but he always found a way to defeat the opponents and step further. And every time the opponent always ended up dead.
Not just him, a lot of people were dying in other paths as well. Except for the people who quit as soon as they sensed danger, everyone else died a tragic death and Sam recorded all these deaths. He has a very specific use for these videos and he is sure that it will come in handy.
Soon it is the end of the day. It has become a norm that the pocket dimensions usually take three days to finish except for some special ones.
Sam decided to keep this as a three day challenge as well. Except the format changed a little bit. Other dimensions were mostly continuous challenges, but this one however has rest times.
And at the end of the day, the first break was given. An announcement has been made.
'Only top hundred people who were ahead in the path to reach the peak are left. The remaining candidates are eliminated and are waiting in the grey space for the competition to be over.'
That was the announcement.
Even though it is a bit odd for such a large number of people to be eliminated at the same time, it is not unheard of. Every pocket dimension has its unique traits and they just attributed this elimination as the unique trait of this pocket dimension.

The candidates were given a chance to not just rest but also check up on the formation they were currently in.
Meanwhile, the city of the Olympian region is in chaos.
Dean of the Zeus Academy made such a big decision to lockdown the whole city. Even when the city guards tried to persuade him otherwise, he didn't budge. He acted with blunt decisiveness and his words hit like slaps to their faces.
The personnel of the Zeus Academy searched every single person in the whole city with the energy signatures.
There weren't many people there. Most of them are inside the new pocket dimension. However, the people they caught were captured and forcefully dragged back to the Zeus Academy. The Dean decided to make them cough up if they do belong to the flaming skulls.
They even took out a special formation that could identify the truth from the lies.
It is not perfect and it is not as efficient as the one in the judicial court, but they work fine. Anyway, the Dean didn't need a full confirmation as long as they are suspicious enough, he is ready to do whatever is needed.
As things are like this, what the Dean didn't know is that everything is being recorded. Either from his own bird puppet or the bird puppets of other people, everything is being recorded and sent back to hub.
Icarus is collecting all of it intently.
Their primary goal in the Olympian region is to tear down the Zeus Academy and for that, this is the best opportunity.
"Don't be like that. Everyone of us here wants to get those legacy inheritances. Since the news is already out, there is no point in hiding. There are other pocket dimensions with the legacy inheritances as well.
There is a good chance the Flaming skulls know about it and we need to find them soon. We have only four days before they finish assimilating the first legacy inheritance.
You must have all seen the situation in the city right now. The external powers are all over the place. The players are increasing in this game. Tensions are high, if we don't come to a consensus now, everything will blow up in all of your pretty faces."
"Still, I heard what you were doing to them while interrogating. You are making them reveal their secrets. You cannot do that. Their secrets exposed, they will become way too vulnerable. I can't weaken my first graders. They are the foundations for the next."
Another Dean said.
"What would I gain by revealing their secrets. It is all to find out the legacy inheritance. The flaming skulls has been running rampant for a while. What do you think will happen if they get their hands on other legacy inheritances as well?
Do you think other forces will believe that we weren't able to catch them?
They will use it as an excuse and wage another war. Do you want another Academy war? I am sure you didn't forget the last war. It wasn't very kind to you."
The dean shut it down.
He didn't really want to remember that academy war days.
After some discussion, they finally agreed on one thing.
The Academy deans themselves decided to interrogate the marked the students. However, the other deans will also be present, but only the respective deans will be responsible to ask questions from their respective students.
The rest of them will just witness the process.
After everyone came to consensus, one of the asked.
"So, its all well and good with us. What about the Gambler Academy?"
Everyone turned to look at Dean of the Zeus Academy. They all noticed that Dean Wharton was not in the discussion. Its not because of the lack of invitation. He was invited, its just that he decided to ignore it.
He knew what this meeting is for and he doesn't want to allow his students to be interrogated, so he didn't bother feigning ignorance like the other deans. He was direct with his approach and just didn't bother attending the meeting.
"I will talk to him. No matter what the flaming skulls should be purged. I am sick and tired of it."
Dean of Zeus Academy said and opened the door.
"I wonder, if there is a hidden meaning behind Wharton's absence. After all, with all the tricks the flaming skulls perform, isn't it more likely that they could be Gambler Academy students?
What if it is true and he already know? What if he is just trying to hide it and that's why he didn't attend the meeting?"
