Chapter 452 - Arthur's Plan
"Gosh, your weakness is the pillars," Arthur shook his head while muttering to himself.
"Now, let's go back to the academy," Mr. E said yet Arthur raised his hand to stop them. "All can go, but my masters will stay for some time here," he suddenly requested.
His words were met with strange gazes from everyone, his masters included.
"Alright, all leave first," Mr. E ordered before adding, "give me a couple of hours and I'll be back to meet all of you."
Arthur knew Mr. E stayed behind so he would know more about his intentions here. On the other hand, Arthur finally had a glimpse on how the academy could move to this world.
Each master took out a small ball and crushed it. White fog dissipated from these balls before covering everyone up and the next moment they were all vanished.
"Interesting," he muttered before turning his gaze towards the six masters here.
"Tell me what do you plan to do, kid," Mr. E said before adding, "I believe you want to use this world's shift in time to your advantage, right?"
Arthur nodded and didn't deny this. "Sigh, you are a newbie in the academy after all," yet Mr. E just sighed while shaking off his head. "This isn't unique to you. In fact other disciples are training full time inside a higher time ratio than your world here."
"How much different?" Arthur asked.
"Three folds," Mr. E thought for a moment, before adding, "and all the masters here, except for Amanda, have a disciple or two in the eighth and ninth grade to tutor."
Arthur got his meaning before saying: "I won't take much time of them," he promised, "besides I have a better time ratio than others."
'How much?" Amanda asked, as she already knew what he was referring to. "Your strange map full of stars? Or the world we entered before that map perhaps?"
He nodded while adding, "yes, it's that world of mine."
"How much time did that world have?" Cesile asked in interest.
"Almost ten times," Arthur smiled before adding, "than the time in this world."
"Wow," Mr. E exclaimed before adding, "this means… around sixty times the normal time in the academy, right?"
Arthur nodded. "Like this I won't take much time off your busy schedule," he said, "I just want you to help me and my top people to develop."
"Your people?" Otman asked before adding, "I met two interesting folks of them already."
"And I didn't meet any," Slone complained.
"I have more than what you think," Arthur mysteriously said before adding, "now can we start working?"
"There is just one issue left," Amelia who stood silently alongside his other top team members suddenly said, "Sara and Tina didn't yet return."
"Oh," Arthur completely forgot about those two, "just send someone with a flying pet to fetch them back."
He paused while thinking of his options. "Also make them retreat through the safest road."
"They cleaned many areas already," Omar said before adding in admiration, "the two combined forces together and crushed many bases of the dark clans at their side."
"We also dispatched many armies to spread out towards places you mentioned before," Randy said, "they are moving fast without any resistance at all."
Arthur nodded as he knew Olor wouldn't betray him easily. "Keep them out, yet make them retreat at the appearance of any signs of trouble," he warned before adding, "gather up everyone worthy of teaching and bring them here in one hour."
His words were instantly executed. As a bee hive his top members moved to gather their trusted followers, and the entire city bustled in great momentum.
"What's the celebration going on here by the way?" he asked Amelia who had no one in particular to recommend, so she stayed back and arranged some to fly over to fetch the two girls back.
"It's the Odenym day," Amelia said before explaining, "most of the villagers and warriors who joined us follow such a strange cult. This is one of their foremost important days."
"Oh, I see," Arthur nodded before adding, "yet it adds more to the beauty of the city."
"The main parts of the city are already completed. Now we only follow the guidelines pointed out by Deem and make sure we repeat the same procedure with each expansion of the city," Amelia said before adding, "Deem is just a genius. His way of expanding the city through his maps enabled the walls out there to expand accordingly."
"Yeah, he is a great talent," Otman spoke in praise as he added, "his knowledge of the Ley Lines are unparalleled."
Mr. E and other masters stood by his side watching his men moving around and bringing the news and orders everywhere. "Sure, he is one of the talents I'll assign to master," Arthur nodded before Mr. E said:
"You plan to have many learn from our masters."
"Sure," Arthur laughed before adding, "it's a waste not to use all the available talents when we have this golden chance here."
"Do you intend to use them as well in the next competition?" Amanda was curious.
"Not in that competition," Arthur shook his head before adding, "but all the other competitions that will come later on."
"You have a big appetite," Cesile laughed before adding, "watch out, I have some disciples in the ninth grade."
"So you can only trust and depend entirely on me," Amanda said in an arrogant tone, "unlike others here, I'm the only full time dedicated master to you and your men."
Her words were harsh and made the other side glance at her, yet they didn't say a single word back. They all knew she was speaking the truth.
"Any help is appreciated," Arthur diplomatically answered.
Everyone got silenced when some of his men came up with more behind. The first to appear was his own clan members, led by Ron.
The face of Ron showed his discontent to what Arthur said earlier about his intentions to drop the clan from his plans.
