2115 Dean's Visit

Sam and his team watched as the Dean went to talk with other Deans and the representatives from other regional academies.

"Why are you here?"

He asked them directly.

"You know, why we are here Dean, you owe us an explanation? How does Dayus know about the information regarding the legacy inheritances? And how come you didn't share it with us? I thought we were all friends here."

"The information was acquired by the student himself and he said that he acquired it within the Dimension. He tried to find it, and as you might know, the flaming skulls obtained it."

"Are you sure, there is nothing more to the story?"

"Yes, there is nothing more."

"Then how come, we came across this?"

They spoke as they played out an audio clip. It was actually a video recording, but the image has been replaced with a black screen.

The Dean was stunned when he heard the clip. Because it was the conversation between him and Dayus. It was their discussion of plans regarding the legacy inheritance and stuff.

"How did you get this?" The Dean's face darkened. After all, the conversation took place in the privacy of his own room. There is no way, he could feel secure anymore."

"You don't expect me to reveal that, do you? We all have our own means. Anyway, since the cat is out of the bag, we are requesting you to bring out that kid named Dayus. We would like it if he can answer all of our questions honestly."

Dean gritted his teeth and stayed in silence.

"Come on, you don't want to repeat whatever happened in our last Academy war, do you? I am sure this time it will be worse, particularly to the Zeus Academy. With all the heat you are attracting, it wouldn't be a wise decision to resist all of us."

…

The meeting went on with all of them spewing some veiled and some even open threats to Dean's face. They gave Dean some time and told him to think over.

The Dean walked back to his office where Dayus was waiting.

He slumped into the chair and said.

"This cannot go on. I need to fix this, immediately. I am going to leave the Academy realm now. I think it is better if you come with me. Without my presence here, I cannot guarantee your safety."

Dayus was surprised.

"But don't we have the trials tomorrow?"

"Let them be. The first trials are against Sam anyway. For some reason, I have a feeling he will come out on top once again. So, there is no point for us being here."

Dayus didn't resist anymore. He is also sure that his situation is in a bit of jeopardy, so he decided to follow.

Sam and his friends are a bit surprised by this decision. Even Sam didn't expect this. After all, he has been the biggest pain in the ass for every dean, particularly the Dean of Zeus Academy.

So, he expected that they come full force against him for the trials, but it seems the legacy inheritance issue is much more dangerous to the dean that he thought.

He didn't worry too much though. He had hundreds of cases on his head, but he is sure he can move past them. Sam turned to his team and spoke.

"We broke the news to the world and attracted them all. As expected the possibility of gaining more inheritances definitely restrained them from extreme measures. But that won't stop them from seriously pursuing the Flaming skulls.

Not just the Academies, every greedy student from freshman to the grade 4 will be after the flaming skulls.

And I believe this is the right time for us to exhaust this chess piece called the flaming skulls.

We are not going to take anymore assignments, except for the ones Dayus planted, that too if he wants to pursue that idea more.

As for the rest of the students, when someone places as assignments, we will just ignore them and if any of them takes some drastic measures like stalking our possible locations, wreaking havoc in hopes of finding us out, we will just divert their attention to something else.

I am sure, all of you knows what that means."

They all nodded.

"That's great. Now, go back to your academies. Once again, put pressure on the Deans, if they don't take a rigid stance against the Zeus Academy, tell them that you are quitting immediately.

That is something they cannot afford right now.

They already have information regarding the legacy inheritances, so, they know that these are only available in pocket dimensions suitable for freshmen. And you happened to be their star freshmen. If you are not there and work independently to get those inheritances, your chances will go way too high.

They will not let you go. So, let's play around with that."

After discussing a few things, everyone went their own ways.

At the same time, the Dean exited the realm secretely with Dayus. They went to the same mountain region that Pearl went to meet Theron.

After travelling for a while, they reached the place the next day. They were at least faster than Pearl.

Theron was sitting under the same waterfall as he did when Pearl visited.

"What are you doing here, brother? Did you miss your little brother after such a long time?"

Theron asked the Dean.

Dean looked at him coldly.

"You know why I am here, Theron. Please don't play these word games with me."

"If you are here for Pearl, then please don't bother. That girl used up all of my favor and squandered it. She has to repay me."

"I need to end the issue with her and the pseudo-hell back at the Academy realm. This will also help her stay safe. You know what will happen if the Judiciary proceedings against her take a turn for the worse.

If she is punished by the Academy realm seriously, even if you try to save her, the pursuit of the Enforcers will be endless. You will not have any peace. I am also sure that you do not want to sabotage your relationship with the gods at the moment."

"There is a IF before your theory, brother. IF the trial goes for the worse and even if those kids out there manage to get her maximum punishment, it is still up for debate, whether the enforcers can keep up the pursuit."

"Don't do this Theron. She will be in constant danger. The more she resists, the severe the punishment gets. And I don't trust you to be her protector for the rest of her life. Once she is out of your sight, she will be dead."

"Are you really so concerned for her? A part of me is telling me that this is all bogus and you just want to cover your ass.

You of all people should know where my reluctance stems from."

"Two Elders from the Academy were caught. They were helping out a Titan's Divine Incarnation and conducted a massive ritual. They are currently in my custody. I will handover them to you. They are key players within the organization supporting that divine incarnation.

"You are afraid that the Academy elders will user her as scapegoat and let her die to appease the other academies."

"You are right. She can die for all I care. But she cannot die before she repays me. I will send her to you after the debt has been paid. You can just go ahead and use her as a scapegoat after that.

I don't have that much time.

That is why, I am here to repay the debt in her stead."

Theron finally opened his eyes as he looked at his brother. He was curious as how his brother was planning to do that.

"Two Elders from the Academy were caught. They were helping out a Titan's Divine Incarnation and conducted a massive ritual. They are currently in my custody. I will handover them to you. They are key players within the organization supporting that divine incarnation.

I am sure, you can make use of it."

Theron was amazed.

"According to the rules, do they not have to attend the trial?"

"I can handle that. A few judges owe me a favor. I will cash all of them in. I will play out a fake execution in front of the Academy realm. I will hand them over to you. Neither me nor the Zeus Academy will interfere in this matter.

Whatever you find from them, is exclusively yours to take.

I am sure you can strike some deal with the Olympians regarding this."

Theron went into a deep thought.

"Alright, that is fine by me. You can take her on your way back. Is there anything else?"

"I heard you interfered in the Pseudo-hell and I came to know that Sam…."

"Oh, that arrogant bastard? Don't worry, I am not going to pursue it for now. At least not immediately. You can relax for now."

"Thank you."

"Anyway, who is this creature that you brought along?"

Theron asked as he looked at Dayus. Dean thought for a moment and said.

"He is a new special student of the academy. Recommended by Zeus. He is attracting a lot of attention lately, so I kept him by my side to save him."
