Chapter 2680: Headmaster II "The people had been asking in the academy when do you plan to have them make a breakthrough," said old women marla, while she silently created the invisible field to block the screams. "Oh, so they could not continue further," I said with a smile; to be honest, their persistence lasted longer than I had imagined. The old woman is very good at managing people; she now said it, which means even she isn't able to control the chorus. "We will begin next month; as long as they have the capability and are on the list, they can breakthrough," I said with a smile. I am already quite surprised some of them have been able to control themselves for long. Though, I would have very much liked it. If they had stayed in the Master class longer, it would have been not only safe but also given a greater chance of creating the core, but the core is not for everyone. "I will provide you the list of people; you can select who can make a breakthrough to Grandmaster," said the old woman, considerably excited. "Ok," I replied with a smile. I have been helping the people of the Academy even before the project began; the work I did on the people of the Academy formed the base of the data I used in the proposal of the project, and since the project began, I have focused on them even more. I am not so selfless that I would focus on other organizations and not mine. The Riverfield Academy is getting stronger slowly, with a very strong base. If they revealed their full power, even the council would be surprised by it, despite keeping a close eye on the Academy. Now, the Academy has forty-two Masters, over one hundred fifty leaders, and over three hundred elites. No Grandmasters, we had Grandmasters, but not anymore; both Elina, Professor, and I could project the power of the High-Grandmaster. It would be good if the Academy had some Grandmasters; it is time for that anyway. If I had wanted to, the Academy would have had the Grandmasters months ago, but I waited and still would be waiting when it comes to truly important people. Those who will be leveling up to the Grandmaster class would be those without the potential or will to reach the greatest height. All the councilmembers and other important people will be at peak Master, till they form the core. No matter how long it takes, I hope they wait till they create the core, as only the core could give them the potential and future. I have big plans for the Academy, and to realize that, a maximum number of powerhouses need to form the core. Thankfully, most of them have good Inheritances and are capable of creating a core given enough time and resources. Some of them are close; this old woman is one of three people in the Academy who will form the core. "When are you planning to come to the Academy, Headmaster? There are some things you have to do, some secrets you have to know," asked Councilman Edward. "Soon," I replied with a sigh. I haven't returned to the Academy in person in more than a year, ever since that incident after my breakthrough. Even when they had formally made me the Headmaster two months ago in a quiet ceremony, I was still in Pyramid, and only my projection had gone to the Academy. It is not like I did not want to go back to the Academy, but I could not due to many reasons, but most important being safety. Academy is not safe; though there are some defenses that could even stop the Grand Lord, even I could not activate those defenses and not mention those defenses are for emergencies, and each time they are used, they would be reduced in power or simply spent. "Good, the members of the academy, need to see you in person and not just your projection," He said, and I nodded. "The members of the academy are doing well in the war; their performance is rapidly matching with the members of supreme," I said. The members of the Academy have above-average strength, but it was nothing compared to supreme. Now that is changing; when I pulled up the records a few days ago, I was surprised to see the progress they are making in the war. "It is all because of you, Headmaster; your prestige is making them work harder," the old woman replied, which made me pleasantly surprised, as it is very hard to get praise out of her mouth. "Though, some of them took too much inspiration from you and are needlessly charging into the danger and ended up losing their lives," she said while giving me a glare. There it is, the praiser is rare from her, and even if they came, they came with the complaints. "It is very hard to control the young people; still make them understand the gravity of the war before they join the battle," I said with a sigh. Not that it is going to do much, as I had said, the young ones are very hard to control. The teenagers specifically, even when they idealize, will not listen, even when I tell them to be careful. I have done that many times, but it has not produced any result. I talked with them for a while before turning and flying toward the flower; the huge flower is called the myrie hansa flower, a very rare flower, especially one that reached High-Grandmaster class. This flower may look big, but it is extremly delicate, withering instantly at the undesirable change. When I found its seed, I did not waste any time and planted it inside my core, and that's to my trip to the ruin; I was not only able to grow the flower but also take it to the High Grandmaster class. Drip Drip Drip Soon, I was above the flower and took out a tiny glass bottle, which contained a dense milky solution. I activated the formation on the bottle, and drops began to fall, each drop landing perfectly on the center of the small blue formation painted on each petal. This is no ordinary solution; it is called erwyn cleansing dew, a very complicated solution. It is also an extremly expensive one, requiring the resources such as stainless blood soul lotuses. This is one best thing that came from Jim; the solution had reduced the amount of stainless blood soul lotus I use for each cleansing by four times, with the help of other resources, which are also extremly rare but not as hard to grow as stainless lotuses. Usually, most people only go through the single cleans ing of stainless blood soul lotuses, but these people are damn lucky that they belong to the Academy. They already went through one cleansing last month, and today will be their second cleansing, and some might even receive the third cleansing if I think they need it or are worth it. Within a few seconds, the whole formations on the flower turned milky white as the cleansing had begun. Looking at the meta-scans, I don't think they will need a third cleansing; the combination of flower and dew will clean all their impurities and strengthen their body and soul from within. Though, the final decision would be made after I looked through their data carefully.
