"Have you made up your mind?" After wearing the crown for more than 20 years, the young and reckless lad had become more dignified, and the way he did things was something the nobles in the country could not find fault with. Perhaps those whose interests were damaged would have complaints, but they would not dare to show it. The king was quite powerful in all aspects.
However, there were still people in this world who were not afraid of him, and his son, who was not related by blood, was one of them. However, although Juan Javier spoke bluntly to most people, he had never let the royal family suffer any losses when he did things.
If there was anyone who could control this great mage, it would be his biological mother, Queen Catherine. However, this queen rarely showed anything in front of people. She always silently supported her men, no matter whether they were young or old.
"You don't want to think about it?" Jose Carlos, the president of the Leon District branch, asked. He would be lying to himself if he said that he had no complaints about his student's decision. The affairs of mages should be handled by the mages themselves. It was not a big deal to hand it over to the nobles. Even if the other party was the son of his old friend and his student.
"There's nothing to think about. There's no point in copying that guy's failed experience."
As the original owner of the Tower of the Great Sage, a certain person's movements were closely watched. The establishment of the Orange Eaton Academy and the subsequent performance of the academy had, of course, attracted a lot of attention. Those who were simple-minded just wanted to send talented children from their own families to the academy; those who were far-sighted wanted to establish their own academy.
It could be said that none of the mages who joined the Orange Eaton Academy as teachers did so purely for the meager salary. Everyone had their own goals. Even Juan Javier had only joined the academy for the sake of learning Language P.
As a result, after staying for more than a year, this great mage who played around in the world had some different ideas. He first let the two people closest to him, who were also powerful, carry out work similar to the Charles Richard Foundation in the Sijia District to popularize magic knowledge to every corner of the Leon District and the Kingdom of Vilva.
However, compared to Hahn IV's unstinting support, President Carlos did not have such great courage. Or it should be said that the organization of the Leon District branch was quite large, and a president could not make the final decision. Especially since this was a waste of money that couldn't be recovered in the short term.
The profits from Cupwood's Browser and several other magic spells were actually all cut off by the various sub-guilds, and the money was divided up by the higher-ups of the Association in the name of various reasons and subsidies. Although in the beginning, the reason why the money was intercepted was to imitate the actions of the Charlie Richard Foundation.
Compared to the bloated Society of Sorcerers, the Kingdom of Vilva, under the leadership of a powerful king, did not have such problems. As for the bulk of the funds, other than the funds provided by Hahn IV, there was also the output of Marquis Javier's territory.
After all, a certain someone thought that how could he spend the money alone? An entire marquisdom was still too big. After deducting the administrative expenses of the fief, even a mage would find it difficult to squander all the money he had for his personal use.
Therefore, the magic stones in the Kingdom of Welva were much more common than in the Leon District. Even more delightful news came from various places. Indeed, some children with magical talent had been discovered. He only needed to wait for an opportunity to bring them back and conduct a centralized magic education.
However, that opportunity came earlier and more abruptly than expected. By the time Juan realized it, he had already returned to the palace of Vilva.
Establishing an academy was an idea he had had a long time ago. However, he had never thought about what kind of academy to establish. When this matter was imminent, he had no choice but to think about it seriously.
During the time when he returned to the kingdom, Juan Javier was preparing for the official establishment of the academy. A large part of it, with the strong support of Hahn IV, was progressing rapidly. For example, searching for the academy's school building and dealing with some non-magical affairs.
Juan and John Goodman had also discussed a lot about what kind of personality they should have in their own school. To a certain extent, the Orange Eaton Academy could not be considered a success. Other things aside, as the most important person in charge of the academy, he was actually chased out by the apprentices. Juan was speechless when he saw the unlucky guy's behavior.
Therefore, Juan did not intend to keep some rules that he did not like. The first rule that he removed was to accept the apprentices sent by other mages to receive magic enlightenment education. This was also the part that his own teacher, Jose Carlos, was most dissatisfied with.
Juan, who had decided to become the dean of the academy himself, intended to go one step further and take all the apprentices as his own students. Of course, their status would be different from the apprentices who followed him like An Marie. The most important thing was that with this additional title, any apprentice who intended to betray him could be happily sent to hell.
The mages had the power to kill their own students, even if the other party had graduated from apprenticeship. Of course, after the student became an official mage, he would also have the ability to resist, unlike the apprentices to mages, where the difference in strength was one-sided. Therefore, unless the crime was unforgivable, no mage would intend to cripple their own apprentice. Another big reason was the possibility of being killed instead.
If he wanted to strengthen his control over the apprentices of the academy, of course, he could not accept the apprentices of other mages to be sent to the academy. However, such an attitude and practice would only be implemented in the early stages. Juan had plans to make adjustments based on the future situation.
Old John's role was still the same. He was still the main driving force to "motivate" the apprentices. However, after obtaining the "last words" of that man before leaving Orange Eaton Academy, Juan and John decided to bring loyalty to this group of apprentices, loyalty to the dean of the academy, and loyalty to the Kingdom of Vilva that cultivated them.
This was something that John Goodman, who was born a Warrior, also understood the importance of. At the same time, he also had a set of methods to encourage and motivate them.
This was also one of the reasons why the academy that Juan wanted to establish could not be hung under the branch of the Society of Sorcerers. The atmosphere of the Society was too liberal, and could even be described as loose. It was difficult to find a central idea to unite everyone.
However, for a kingdom, Hahn IV only saw one thing, and that was the army of mages. It was the army that all kings and lords wanted to have the most, but it was also the most difficult to establish. Money was not the most important thing. The most difficult part was how to find enough loyal mages and gather them together.
Apart from the Duchy of Claud in the Eastern Continent, which was a country of mages and had such a standing army, only the Five Great Empires had the same organization. Apart from that, the Society of Sorcerers in various places would temporarily organize a mage army when faced with a great enemy that mortals could not resist. At other times, which mage would have the patience to stay in a military camp and eat public food?
Under these conditions, Juan did not intend to accept apprentices who were willing to study at their own expense for the time being. His experience in Orange Eaton Academy made him understand how these people who paid money could destroy the original atmosphere of an academy.
Since they did not intend to make a profit, they could only continue to inject funds. Then, apart from national organizations, no one had such strength … The unlucky guy who was chased away by his own student was an exception. A few groundbreaking spells could be found in almost every corner of the Sinan Peninsula. Although the price was very low, the number of people who used it was huge, and that person's purse was also enviable.
Therefore, Juan's response to his own teacher's hope that he would change his mind and establish an academy in the name of the branch of the Society of Sorcerers in the León District was simple. Learning from Guebrach Lin Tripwood's method, he put the plan and budget in front of his teacher and said, "Some unlucky guy said that running a school is burning money. Teacher, it's not that I look down on you, but if you go back to León District to run a school, where's the money? "
Perhaps the plan and budget were not to the extent of being exhaustive, but the main point was already grasped. With the financial statement of the Orange Eaton Academy in front of him, Juan estimated the possible cost of establishing a new academy not far from the mark. And that number, in the eyes of the two people in power, was also quite frightening.
Ignoring the sad gaze of Hahn IV, this junior, Jose Carlos stroked his white beard and said with difficulty, "When we go back, we will have enough."
"Yes, I believe that a few elders, gritting their teeth, should have enough. Then, who should I listen to? "
"With your temper, how can you listen to anyone?"
"Well said. But when I go back to your side, it is impossible for the group of people who pay not to interfere. In the end, if they are unhappy, I will be unhappy too. Why bother? I stay here, with the old man paying, he can't control me. I can do whatever I want. Such a good place, I am stupid to go back and look at the faces of those people. "
It should have been a very heartwarming speech, but Hahn IV's eyes were even more sad. The princes below also felt wronged that their father was so despised, but they dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything. Because this elder brother who was only half blood dared to beat people, and did not look at the occasion and did not give any face.
Other than the Crown Prince, which younger brother had not been beaten? No matter how arrogant and despotic their personality was, they would be beaten to a psychological shadow. What was especially hateful was that no one could control him. Even that dear mother, as long as she was not dead or disabled, did not care about the violence of the elder brother. Needless to say, father was also afraid of being beaten.
But no matter how self-centered he was, Juan still gave some face to his teacher. He said, "If you want to set up an academy, don't always stare at me. Why don't I just do it myself? The one in the Sijia District has all the data publicly available on the forum. Just look for it, and it can be used after some modification. "
Jose Carlos said helplessly, "I still hope that there is someone familiar to do it."
"Those old fogeys are trying to take advantage of me. That's the truth. They don't think that I will be like the one in the Sijia District, so soft that I can be bullied. I will flip the table. Are they mentally prepared to use those thoughts on me? "
