Chapter 40 Military Academy Part 2

The Supreme Council is made up of mages from The Mana Ruling Family, The Supreme Council tries to control PSA-graduated mages.

They made various efforts such as coercion, negotiation, threat, doctrinalization, and other ways to instill Mana Ruling Family hegemony in PSA-graduated mages.

However, the development and growth of PSA-graduated mages cannot be stopped by The Supreme Council.

Many of them ended up protesting and rebelling against the Mana Ruling Family.

Some of them even call that the Mana Ruling Family was the new Mana God.

The atmosphere between the Mana Ruling Family and the PSA-graduated mages grew heated.

Until the Mahdavi Clan did something that was never expected by both parties.

Mahdavi Clan send the children of their families to enter PSA and study together with the common people.

Their actions were strongly criticized by The Supreme Council.

They thought that the Mahdavi Clan had betrayed the Mana Ruling Family and moved to support PSA-graduated mages.

However, The Supreme Council's condemination was ignored. In fact, the Rangkuti Clan, which was close to them, supported the Mahdavi Clan's actions.

The Rangkuti Clan showed their support by doing the same thing by enrolling their young people into PSA and studying together with ordinary people.

The Mana Ruling Family was split apart.

The House of Spencer and the House of Badakar strongly condemn the actions of the Mahdavi Clan and Rangkuti Clan.

While the other three families took a neutral stance.

Gradually, the relationship between the Mahdavi Clan and Rangkuti Clan with PSA-graduated mages grew closer.

The mages who graduated from PSA in the following years did not only come from ordinary people, but also came from the Mahdavi Clan and Rangkuti Clan.

The mages of the two clans did not return to their families after graduating from PSA. They join forces with other PSA graduate mages and fight together in battle.

They cooperate with each other and support each other against the onslaught of the elf troops. Even mages from ordinary people considered two families to be part of them.

However, it is different with the other Mana Ruling Family, especially the House of Spencer and the House of Badakar.

They thought that the Mahdavi Clan and Rangkuti Clan had betrayed and favored more PSA-graduated mages.

With their influence, the House of Spencer removed the mages from both families from The Supreme Council.

The expenses of these two families from The Supreme Council made the House of Valya angry.

They felt that the House of Spencer had no right to expel the two families from The Supreme Council.

The Supreme Council does not belong to any family, The Supreme Council is a committee formed by the agreement of the seven families.

So that every decision must be based on the approval of the seven families without any family being excluded.

Then, The Supreme Council is subject to all seven families and does not have the authority to remove any family from the committee.

The House of Valya felt that The Supreme Council had become a tool of the House of Spencer to dominate other families.

They decided to leave The Supreme Council and rejected all the rules made by the committee.

The exit of the House of Valya from The Supreme Council made the House of Spencer and the House of Badakar feel threatened.

The influence of The Supreme Council in PSA is getting smaller and the influence of PSA graduate mages is getting stronger.

The seven Mana Ruling Family became divided and all of this started with the formation of the People's Security Agency.

They felt the formation of PSA was the worst decision they had ever made.

None of this would have happened if the knowledge of mana, mana flow, and constellations were still fully held by the seven families.

They decided to destroy the root of all these problems.

The two families gathered their troops and mages and prepared to attack the People's Security Agency.

However, before the troops could move, the Wuhan Clan summoned the entire Mana Ruling Families.

The Wuhan Clan is the second strongest family after the House of Spencer. They are famous for their trading abilities so they have a considerable influence on the other Mana Ruling Family.

Unlike the House of Spencer, which acts like the sole ruler, the Wuhan Clan puts forward a win-win solution to solve the problem.

So when the Wuhan Clan asked for a meeting, the entire Mana Ruling Family respected it, even for the House of Spencer.

The Fourth Family Meeting was located in the Wuiven Kingdom, the core of power and trade center of the Wuhan Clan.

With the Wuhan Clan as mediator, the seven families meet again.

During the meeting, Tayyib el-Safar explained his Clan's reasons for joining PSA in a speech often referred to as the 'Mana Ruling Family's Hegemony Has Already Ended'.

"The seven families are a hidden power and are the cardinal card of the human species.

We always rule behind the scenes and let the kings be our pawns.

We are not the lead, supporting, or other roles in the drama of human civilization.

Rather we are the directors and writers of human civilization.

We are never at the forefront but we can still enjoy all the resources and strengths of our domain.

It's not that we don't have enemies, it's the greatest folly to say we have no other enemies before the elves.

We have many enemies, other families, treacherous family members, and actors who want to escape our control.

Even though they didn't have the power of the elves, they still pose an equal threat to us.

But we remained in power for hundreds of years because we were never heroes and rulers.

With all our strength and power, We are not that greedy so as to want to control every aspect of human life.

We remain in a hidden position even though kingdoms are at war with one another and humans are killing one another.

We are an elite that no human has ever known, We are the protectors and rulers of mankind from the shadows.

But the war with the elves forced us to be the leader and the main actor, something we had never done before, except for The Great Human War which happened hundreds of years ago.

With the formation of the People's Security Agency, we know the true potential of human beings.

Even a farmer who only knew how to wield a hoe all his life could become a powerful mage who beheaded enemy generals.

This is something our spoiled children cannot do!!

We realized that strength and power had slipped from the hands of the Mana Ruling Family.

This happened long before the formation of PSA, it happened when we decided to step up and become actors of this drama stage."

Tayyib el-Safar finished his speech with a sad bow. The Mahdavi Clan also did not want to lose the power that had been in their hands for so long.

However, he knew that the development of PSA-graduated mages was unstoppable. Even if they destroy PSA this problem will not become solved.

The number of PSA graduate mages is more than all members of the Mana Ruling Family.

If they were harsh on them, the seeds of hatred would grow, just like the seeds of hatred for humans that grew in the elves.

One day there will be a PSA graduate mage whose strength exceeds all the mages in the Mana Ruling Family.

When that happened they could only hope that the seeds of hatred would not blind his heart and slaughter their entire family.

The Mahdavi Clan took a very tough decision they had to forget their hegemony and power and return to being ordinary people.

They will start from scratch and make humans recognize that their family is a family that deserves respect for humans.

This confession from the Mahdavi Clan shook the entire family, except for the Rangkuti Clan, who had previously heard it directly from the Mahdavi Clan first.

The Fourth Family Meeting ended without any new disputes, decisions, or regulations. The whole leader of families returned to their respective territories and thought about their family's future.

Not long after that the House of Valya and the Wuhan Clan sent their young people to join the PSA and study together with the common people.

Then, not long after that the Zietsman Clan left the Supreme Council and shut themselves off from all outside communication. Their family disappeared amidst the vast Picfell Savanna.

The House of Spencer and the House of Badakar still hold on to their Supreme Council, but the committee no longer has any power.

Until the strongest mage that has ever existed in human history appears. Stent Gaht.

Coming from an ordinary soldier, Stent climbed his career and fought with flesh and blood in the wars with the elves until he reached the pinnacle of power the human species had never seen.

Stent became the idol of all mages and was hailed as a hero.

The House of Spencer and the House of Badakar know that their time in power is up.

Started by House of Spencer and followed by House of Badakar, they started following the other Mana Ruling Family and enrolling their young children into PSA.

The Supreme Council was declared disbanded and stopped working.

The People's Security Agency changed its name to the Human Alliance Military Mage Academy or better known as the Military Academy.

To take care of the administration and determine the educational curriculum an committe was formed from strong mages.

Its members were chosen not based on ancestry and families, but based on their achievements during the war, no matter if the mage was from the common people or from the Mana Ruling Family.

The institution was named the Guru Committee. A simple and humble calling for those who teach about mana, mana flow, and constellations.

Sound familiar right?
