Chapter 2367

2367 - The Future of the Academy

Sacred Covenant Academy—Sector 99

"..." In deep silence and complete stillness, more than twenty people sat side by side.

Then, in a moment, one of them opened his eyes and muttered, "Hurry, hurry, quickly." Then he stood up and ran in a certain direction.

*Whoosh* *Whoosh* After him, another person who had been sitting closely beside him also stood up, and the two rushed together in the same direction down a dimly lit corridor, leaving the rest still seated in the same manner.

"Where exactly were you? The recording is about to run out!!" A girl wearing large glasses greeted them, then tossed two identical discs toward them.

*Tack* *Tack* The two caught the discs quickly, then closed their eyes and began infusing their spiritual sense into them for nearly a minute.

Then they opened their eyes and handed the discs back to the girl, "Here you go, a comprehensive memory recording for the required half-hour duration."

"Mm." The girl nodded, then gestured behind her, "Hurry back to your posts and don't be late again!"

The girl didn't wait for a reply or a greeting from the two. She immediately turned around and continued down the long corridor to its end until she exited it, where gentle sunlight struck her pretty face. She kept walking until she reached what appeared to be the area behind the platform.

She opened two cabinets full of neatly arranged discs, then placed each disc in a different cabinet in the proper order, closed them gently, and sighed, "Hoo~ another half hour will pass peacefully."

Then she tiptoed, stretching her neck slightly to observe what was happening in front of the Platform.

"Kee!" Instantly, the blood in her veins froze and she pulled back.

There were no fewer than 10,000 students and teachers looking toward her.

"Whoaaa!"

"Oh my!"

*BAM* *BAM* *CRASH*

"Haha, don't take your eyes off the right screen, Lord Hedrick is the best!!"

"Look, look, Lady Renara destroyed a large vehicle!!"

"How could it be her doing? She just pointed at the vehicle and it started cracking on its own, maybe the Note-4 vehicle did something!"

"It's definitely her doing, she's amazing!!"

Although there were about 10,000 students gathered to watch the giant screens, there was no kind of crowding at all.

Some were sprawled on the grassy lawns, some were hugging bubbles mid-air, some were sitting inside flowers and the mouths of large birds.

The square was clearly designed to hold a much larger number of students and their families... but it was *empty* today.

And that was due to Morgana's new policies.

The Cosmic Sacred Covenant Academy, which is currently considered the Mother Academy and the Supreme Council of Cosmic Academies as well, the source of curricula and expertise, and the headquarters for training Masters and convening directors... Morgana decided that it would not be treated like any other academy.

She issued a decree that it would be open primarily to the Children of the Burton Family and the Children of the Cosmic Elder—only those would be received without limits. As for any Behemoth attempting to send his children to them, tests would be administered to see if they were worthy of joining, and whether they deserved to become First Tier Sons or not.

Only the exceptionally talented and renowned Children of the Behemoths now had a chance to enroll!

As for the rest, they were distributed among other Cosmic Academies in Sectors 99 and 100, as well as other new academies established in their distant sectors.

And anyone who ignored the apparent exclamations of admiration and the excitement in the air, and observed the students closely, would find something strange...

"Look there in the background of Lady Renara, the movement of the Fleet over there seems suspicious." A young man with blond hair and steady eyes began analyzing the situation, "Isn't the purpose of the formations to protect the Mother Ship?"

"Note of Supremacy-4 is at the front, exposed to attack, while Note of the Flood-4 follows it, and finally the Note of Destruction-4 vehicles are behind it—what a formation! What do you all think?"

"Based on the surrounding conditions, I believe this formation is designed to use the Note of Supremacy-4 as bait, with the Note of the Flood moving to defend it in case of a major attack, while the Note of Destruction-4 stays in the rear to serve as the real attack arm. What a ruthless formation—many Note of the Flood-4 vehicles will be sacrificed in it."

"But in such a hostile environment, that formation will save far more lives."

"Hehe, today is your day, Burton family!"

From the side, a girl placed both hands on her hips,

"I'm certain some of our friends here won't be sleeping tonight!"

"Hehe." Beside her, a number of human girls laughed.

"Haha, please don't mock us." One of the young men pointed to his chest with feigned humility and obvious arrogance, "We still don't know who's the driving force behind these events or what their goal is."

"Pfft—please stop trying to be modest," the girl stuck out her tongue slightly. "Those are the Note Fleets, the Rapid Intervention, and the Phantom Shadow. And that's Renara, who works under Marshal Caesar's command, and that's Hedrick, who's said to work directly for Lord Robin. Who else could be behind this if not Lord Robin? Especially since the Sorcerer and the Cursed have been his open enemies for a long time."

"I don't know what to tell you." The young man shrugged with a smile and turned back to watch the broadcasts, pride dancing in his eyes. "Lord Robin does as he pleases; all we can do is watch and learn."

"Hmph." The girl pursed her lips, slightly annoyed, and turned to her brothers. "Where exactly is that old man? Why doesn't he do amazing things like this? I want to show those Burtons that we're not inferior to them—our Father is strong too!"

"Do great things?" One of her brothers shook his head with a laugh that showed self-mockery. "Years have passed since the Door of Return to Homeland opened for us, and no new brother has come through since. Could it be that he's forgotten us?"

"I wouldn't rule out that he's actually forgotten us. I just hope Lady Morgana doesn't demand academy fees from us—I don't have anything!"

"...Maybe he's making more brothers to send a serious batch all at once?"

"....."

"We must talk to him seriously about birth control."

"….."
