The sisters greeted each other and kissed each other for a while before returning to their original positions to continue their previous tasks while waiting for Attie and the others to finish preparing the meal. Tisdale, on the other hand, walked over to Mia and Mordred's side. She looked down and saw that the two of them were playing Monopoly …
This game was similar to chess, which was popular among professors. It was a game Baiyi had created to pass time. However, this game of rolling dice and moving squares was more popular among the students. He did not expect Mia and Mordred, who had been promoted to full professors, to enjoy playing Monopoly. Perhaps they had matured as they grew older, but they still retained a sense of innocence and childlike innocence in their hearts.
Both Kitsune and Owl were there to play along, but they quickly lost the game and stood aside to watch, leaving Mia and Mordred to play with each other. The two of them, on the other hand, played the role of business consultant. It was a simple little game, but it made everyone happy. It was not a bad thing.
Tisdale, on the other hand, had no interest in such games. She casually lay down on the two-seater sofa and stretched out her slender body into a comfortable position. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "When will Vidomina be back?"
"I don't know. I think she went to deal with the students who were fighting," Mia replied.
"What happened?" Tisdale asked. She was now the assistant dean of Da Xue, which was similar to a secretary. She was the second-in-command of Da Xue, and she was involved in all matters. Naturally, when she heard that there was another student fight, she was more concerned.
"It was a group of Northern students. They got into a fight with the Dragon Riders," Laeticia explained. "I happened to pass by and tried to stop them. Vidomina then took both of them away," Laeticia explained.
"Is it these two brats again?" Tisdale sighed helplessly. Her gaze then fell on the other brat in the room.
In the second year of Da Xue's founding, Aya, the dragon-lady, had suggested moving the dragon knights to the Da Xue's realm. Her reason for doing so was that the rental fees were too high, and her father was getting on in years. She had to teach in Da Xue's realm, and it was too much work for her to do both.
Baiyi pondered for a moment before agreeing. He then went to the Emperor to discuss the matter with him.
At that time, Baiyi's plan had yet to be fully implemented, and his relationship with the Empire's higher-ups was still in the honeymoon phase. His prestige was so high that even the Emperor was put in a difficult position. Coincidentally, ever since the dragon knights had moved from Gouve to Isythre, they had not accomplished anything at all. They had been idling around, and the Minister of Finance had been having a headache over their high expenses. Now that someone had stepped up to take over the dragon knights, the Minister of Finance pushed forward with all his might.
At that time, some of the ministers had voiced their concerns, but Baiyi's reputation was too high at the time, and the Empire's finances were in dire straits due to several natural disasters. The Empire desperately needed Baiyi's help, so the two sides argued back and forth. In the end, due to Baiyi's reputation and the pressure of reality, Baiyi got what he wanted.
Baiyi paid for half of the dragon knights' expenses, and they successfully enrolled in Da Xue. He built them a new base in a small mountain range far away from the Da Xue's realm. The new base was even bigger than the old one. No matter how small the Da Xue's realm was, it was still bigger than the territories that Isythre and Isythre had claimed. The dragons finally had the freedom to roam freely, and Aya was so happy that she wished she could marry Baiyi.
Just like that, Da Xue's Dragon Rider Academy was born. The addition of a new course of study was not a big deal, but the main reason was because of Baiyi's relationship with Aya and Mordred, who were the heirs of the dragon knights. In other words, the dragon knights were under his control.
However, when Baiyi finally revealed his true intentions and began to push forward with his plan, which inevitably led to friction with the Empire's higher-ups, it was too late for the ministers to regret their decision. They could only watch helplessly as a powerful military force was handed over to them. Not only that, they had to pay half of the maintenance costs, according to the contract they had signed.
The Empire had always viewed this as a humiliation, a humiliation that would be engraved on the Pillar of Shame. The conflict between the two had escalated to this point because of Baiyi's despicable act. The reason why the Chancellor hated Baiyi so much was also because he had become a rich man instead of a rich man.
However, Baiyi did not have it easy either. Even if he only paid half of the dragon knights' expenses, it was still a heavy burden for Da Xue. Most importantly, the dragon knights could not be of much use to Da Xue at the moment, so they could only burn money to keep it going. Thus, for the next two years, Baiyi's life was very tight. Fortunately, the Blood Tearstone that he had seized from Da Xue had been processed by the Alchemy Faculty and sold to the market, alleviating most of the financial pressure on Da Xue. Otherwise, Da Xue would have been gobbled up by the giant lizards.
Da Xue's financial crisis only began to abate after a series of new industries were put into production. For the first few years, everyone was living on a tight budget. Mia and the other girls did not even get a new dress for two years. It was not until they graduated and became Da Xue's teaching assistant that they finally got their first paycheck that they changed into the latest short skirts.
Although Baiyi's financial situation had been stabilized, the dragon knights were still causing him trouble. Aside from the vengeance from the nobles, the internal troubles were already giving him a headache. The dragons, who were even more ferocious than Mordred, had caused hundreds of disturbances in Da Xue. Not only did they severely affect the lives of the students, but they also caused minor conflicts with the fairies from time to time. For example, there was a battle between a dragon and a unicorn mythological beast, which had driven Baiyi crazy.
Even now, when the situation had stabilized, the dragon knights were still causing trouble for Da Xue. Although the dragons had mostly settled down, the students of the Dragon Rider Faculty had learned their lesson from Mordred, the Vice Principal of Da Xue's Bear Spirit. Their fighting rate was much higher than that of the students of the other faculties. On top of that, the dragon knights and the Dragon Rider Faculty were semi-independent, with Aya and Mordred in charge of the administration. Baiyi could not fully take over the Dragon Rider Faculty, and the Dragon Rider Faculty had become a concentration camp for troubled children.
Baiyi's head hurt every time he thought about these troublesome children, and he even began to regret accepting the offer. There were a few times when he thought about using the dragon knights as a bargaining chip and tossing it back to the Empire. However, when he saw the little dragon looking at him with tears in her eyes, asking him if he was going to abandon her, Baiyi could not bring himself to do so.
At the end of the day, he could not bear to part with either the massive military force or Aya, so he had no choice but to let it go.
Under such circumstances, Tisdale's first reaction when she heard that the students of the Dragon Rider Faculty had gotten into a fight was to keep an eye on Mordred. Although Tisdale was still young by the standards of a dragon's age, she was destined to lead the dragon knights in the future. Even the Fifth Walker would shudder at the thought of a mischievous child leading a bunch of other mischievous children.
However, Mordred, who was the key figure in the matter, was still playing a game with Mia calmly after hearing that her own students were causing trouble. When Tisdale glared at her, Mordred immediately felt that something was wrong. She quickly raised her head and waved her little hand. "Big Sister Tisdale, this has nothing to do with me!"
"Then why are you still sitting here playing a game with Mia?" Tisdale asked sternly, taking on the aura of an older sister.
Mordred quickly hid behind Kitsune's back in fear, only poking out half of her head. "Mom went to deal with it, and I missed Attie and the others, so I came over first," she said, a little embarrassed.
"Big Sister Tisdale, don't be so mean to her. If she went to deal with this, it would only make things worse, wouldn't it?" Mia quickly stepped forward to defend her friend. However, there was something wrong with Mia's explanation, and it did not sound right at all.
"Mia, she's now the vice-commander of the dragon knights, and also the vice-principal of the Dragon Rider Academy. She's going to be the next commander in the future. This kind of thing …" Tisdale said, but then she thought better of it and did not finish her sentence.
How should she put it? Ten years was a long time for humans, and it allowed them to experience a lot and grow a lot. However, for dragons, ten years was just a short moment in their long lives. If Mordred was to deal with this kind of thing, it would really be like what Mia had said: the more she helped, the more trouble she would cause.
According to what Tisdale knew, there had always been a strange rumor circulating in the Dragon Rider Academy. Before the most outstanding Dragon Rider could conquer a dragon, he had to conquer a unicorn to prove his courage and strength. This rumor had led the students to covet the unicorns of the elves. According to some of the students, this rumor happened to come from the mouth of their beautiful and powerful Vice Principal.
So, to Mordred, she was probably more concerned about the details like whether her students had won or not.
When Mia thought of this, even though she was protecting Mordred before, she also remembered that she would have to go out with this brat leader and the other brats in two days. It was impossible for her not to feel a headache …
At that moment, Mordred, who had sensed that Tisdale's anger had subsided, ran to Mia's side and shook her arm. "Mia, it's your turn to throw the dice …"
Then, of course, she was thrown out of the window by Big Sister Tisdale with magic, and fell to the ground with a thud.
