Chapter 2206 On the Day

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The day of the expedition.

The streets are bustling with first graders as they hurried towards the pocket dimension. The hub is devoid of activity except for the few people here and there. Icarus checked the surveillance of the whole city from the hub.

The city is operating as usual.

As smoothly as it can be run in such a chaotic time.

He couldn't help but chuckle as bit as he saw everyone being too involved in their own activities. They don't know that this is one of the biggest days for the Academy realm. One that would surely be remembered in the history.

Only it would still be a question if the people will actually know that a first grader is behind this whole change.

Icarus asked Sam why he is doing all this. He wanted to know the proper reason and all he got was.

'I hate Olympian gods. They are a bunch of assholes.

That is all he said. Even though that could be considered the gist and Icarus there is a bigger explanation behind it. But to imagine that a kid did all of this just because the Olympian gods were assholes? One can only laugh out loud.

Icarus made sure that all of Sam's friends safely entered the pocket dimension.

This is the task Sam assigned to Icarus in secret. Sam is not confident that his friends, particularly the trio. Sam is not dumb enough to assume that his friends haven't seen the huge loophole in his own plan.

Everyone has an alibi, everyone has a purpose. Once the hub executes this operation, there is no way for the people who are already suspecting Sam to sit back and just pick their own nails. They are going to want to know some answers and for them Sam was the only link they could think of.

They will be after Sam.

They will come after him with full force. However, Sam hasn't explained the plan of his own escape or any shield that he might have prepared.

Sam is worried that they might just want to stay back to back him up. And based on Icarus' investigation, there were indeed signs of it, he had to forcefully make them abandon all of their plans, before seeing them enter the portals leading to the pocket dimensions.

After they were sent, he tried to contact Sam, however he disappeared at dawn. He didn't leave behind any contact means nor any other extra instructions.

Icarus and the rest of the managers decided to perform the first step of their plan. The step that will create very minor level chaos in all of the regions of the academy realm.

He just pressed a button on the screen and just like that it began.

At the same time, Dove is sitting in the student council room of the Gambler academy. She is currently in the middle of a meeting. A meeting held because of the message that she received on the night before.

The sender is someone unexpected. It is none other than Icarus. This is also done based on Sam's instructions. The message was not sent as a personal message from Icarus, rather it was sent on behalf of the 'friend' that previously encouraged Icarus to make a deal with the Gambler academy students.

"Last night, I received a message from a certain someone. This person is the one that solved our crisis of coin payment with the Hub. Because of this friend, we are able to avoid the same crisis that the other academies are undergoing.

This is the message."

With that she projected the message she got on her wrist band through the bird puppet.

Everyone started reading the long text message.

'Hello Dove,

This is the friend of the Gambler academy. The same one that helped you guys out before.

I am reaching out to you through Icarus, because I wanted to give you a heads up about some pretty big things that are going to happen in the Olympian city and the academy realm tomorrow.

First and foremost, a message will be spread around the academy realm. A message regarding the discovery of some new realms that was meant to be for everyone of the Olympian academies and how the Zeus academy has monopolized it under the lead of Bloody Chariot and another family that he has vested interests with.

The message will be accompanied with several details of the expedition on which the key members of the current second grade and third grade students of the Zeus academy will be going on tomorrow.

Bloody Chariot will accompany them at the first light and will not be back in the meantime.

This will incite the rage of the other Olympian academies and the greed of other academies, so there will be some chaos.

The final statement of that message would indicate that some of the Zeus academy students might have the ticket to get to that place.

I understand that the expedition and its details will be pretty enticing to your students as well. But I strongly advice that the Gambler academy students take a backseat and not get involved in that. I can only say one thing.

The greedier someone is in obtaining the ticket to the expedition, the harder their fall would be.

That is the first thing.

The second thing is that irrespective of the actions taken by the academies based on the first message, the Olympian city will be in a state of chaos. Please tell your students, particularly the fourth graders to stay out of this.

Finally, there will be a huge change with the Hub today. Please make your students stay back and not attend the hub today.

That is all I can say.

But I will tell you, that you will thank me later for this."

That was the whole message. Sam is clearly showing favor to the Gambler academy. Icarus didn't understand why he did that.

He just assumed that since Sam is the Gambler academy student, he is a bit biased towards it. And this didn't really affect Icarus in anyway. In fact, he is even a bit jealous. Time and again he had thought how good it would if the Olympian academies are also more like the Gambler academy.

However, Sam is just doing this is a favor to the Gambler and Ling Tian. More for Ling Tian actually and he does have every thought to use this favor to gain something back. This is just some investment.

"How sure are we that this is a legitimate message?" One of the council members asked Dove.

"As sure as it can be. There is no reason for us to actually doubt the message. Previously this person indeed help us a lot. The only suspicious thing about it is that we don't know who that person and what their motives are." Instead of dove, someone beside her answered.

"I think we will pass on the orders to the students to be on standby in the academy. Even though I trust the person, I need to make a rational decision here.

Once the students are on standby, we will pay attention to the events that he mentioned. If any of the events turns out to be true, then we have a good enough reason to assume the rest are true as well. Then we will proceed based on that." Dove said passing on her suggestion.

Since the suggestion appeared reasonable, it is approved by everyone.

*DING*

At that moment, a unified tone came from all the wrist bands in the meeting room. All at the same time that it appeared like one huge beep sound.

Everyone looked at the wrist band and it showed something that shocked them.

It is a message. A message that showcased the details regarding the white crystal and the puppet lair that was discovered by them. The discovery of this place through the puppets was conveniently omitted.

"What the hell? This is an enhancement alloy? This can be used in weapons for additional effects? Look at that, high durability, bleed effect... what the fuck is this."

One of them exclaimed as he absorbed the benefits of the white crystal. That made him extremely tempted, but then he remembered what Dove said just now. He involuntarily looked up at Dove's face.

She had a grim expression on her face.

Everyone is looking at her while she looked at the message on the projection.

Now, she is sure that the messages were indeed sent in good-faith.

"Order all the students to come back and report in the academy. Pass the orders to the instructors and elders as well and tell them to gather in their offices. We need to account for every single gambler academy student immediately."

Everyone followed her orders and left the room. The whole Olympian city is driven into chaos. Almost everyone there received the message. However, this message not only left the others in confusion, it even left the Zeus academy members in the same confusion.

After all, not a single person that is present in the academy at the moment, knows about the expedition.
