"Good, since you are so enthusiastic. After you and your friends are done here you can clean the sewers of the Southern Academic city for the next four years," Wyatt informed JJ, causing the latter's friends to stare daggers at him for provoking Wyatt by trying to go over his head and complaining to the Field Marshal.

"Boss, I have college to attend to," JJ informed hastily.

"Where do you plan to attend college?" Wyatt asked, curious if JJ too was planning to attend Morningstar University like Luna, Anna, and the Royal descendants before them.

"The Southern Academic city," JJ revealed, causing Wyatt to frown, "Then, why did you not raise your hand earlier?"

"I thought it was not worth mentioning, did not want to make a big deal out of it," JJ reluctantly replied. Translation, he thought it would not be cool.

"You have a few nuts loose in your head, don't you? If you had just raised your hand when I asked not only could we have avoided all this drama but I would have looked favorably on you," Shaking his head Wyatt turned to look at the crowd and asked, "Once again, how many of you are attending college in Southern academic city? Raise your hands."

Listening to Wyatt's words to JJ, the smart ones in the crowd understood what they needed to do and immediately lifted their hands. Yes, their families had paid tonnes of donations to get them to be admitted into prestigious colleges in other regions but they would rather lose their donation money than spend the next four years of life cleaning sewers. Pretty soon, with word of mouth, every kid in the crowd raised their hands knowing that their life would be simpler next four years if they attended college in the Southern academic city.

"Good," Wyatt nodded, appeased by the sensible crowd. Then, he shamelessly added, "I know your families must be pressuring you to attend a prestigious college in another region but I like your patriotic spirit which did not give to their pressure and choose to attend college in your region. Therefore, let me let you guys in on a secret."

Wyatt paused to get everyone curious about the big reveal. Once he felt everyone's eagerness he revealed, "I know most of might be worried that maybe your families are right that you will be left behind by students of other regions because Southern academic city's curriculum isn't challenging enough.

But I am here to assure you all that it's not the case as the Southern Academic region is introducing a new curriculum starting this new academic year. I can personally guarantee you that, you guys will be getting the best education from the best teachers there are.

How can I guarantee this?

Thugs and thugettes, I am honored to announce to all that I am going to be the next city lord of the Southern Academic City. As the city lord, I will be bringing huge changes to the Southern Academic City to make it great again.

Are you guys with me?"

The crowd was too stunned by the information they just learned to react or respond to Wyatt. Therefore he had to repeat himself, "Are you guys with me?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!" It took a while but all the kids in the crowd understood their assignment and together they completed it to the best of their abilities for the sake of the next hundred years of their life. Many still doubted if everything Wyatt was saying was true, yet not to get on Wyatt's bad side like JJ and his friends, they did not voice out their concerns and doubts and instead just agreed with Wyatt.

"However, here's the thing. Since the new curriculum adopted by the Southern Academic region from the new academic year will be the best in the five regions, the tuition fees will be twenty times more expensive, and eligibility criteria will be a lot tighter than before. I expect that you talk to your parents to prepare the tuition fees and those who do not meet the minimum eligibility criteria prepare a hefty donation as I want to see all of you attending the Southern Academic region. Can I count on you guy?" Wyatt asked the crowd while glancing at their individual expression.

The kids in the crowd seemed to be relieved that Wyatt wasn't forcing them to clean sewers like he did to JJ and his friends. However, those who had more ambition for their life felt like screaming at the top of their lungs, 'This is blatant robbery.' Nonetheless, they did not dare to voice their opinion as they too did not want their future to involve cleaning sewers. So, they along with others responded in unison, "Yes, we will."

Unlike the crowd, Aria wasn't too scared of Wyatt to speak her mind, "Wyatt, you are joking right?"

Wyatt frowned being interrupted by Aria in front of the crowd, he thought of Aria as a friend but she should have a sense of time and place. Contradicting him in front of his employees now was not cool. It was someone else, JJ perhaps, he would have made an example out of them. However, Aurelia swooped in for her boss's assistance. She intimidatingly glared at Aria yelling, "Little boy, are you calling our boss a liar? Are you trying to pick a fight with us?"

Being called 'little boy' by Aurelia, Aria who was very self-

conscious of her underdeveloped body furiously glared at Aurelia and said, "Sir, you are the one picking a fight with me."

"What did you say, little boy? I did not hear you over the wind. Speak up, will you," Aurelia exaggeratedly put her hands by her left ear pretending to not hear Aria calling her sir, referring to how she looked like a male model in her black suit.

"Old gentlemen, there is no wind up here. Are you deaf and blind?" Aria scoffed

"That's it little body, I am going to teach you how to respect your elders."

"Bring it, old man."
