Chapter 2078 Pearl's Father
For the next ten minutes, Ivar kept pointing to different tables and he asked different instructors to do the same thing as Beli
Confess, Apologize, and Compensate.
The instructors started sweating bullets.
"Mr. Ivar. This is too much. You are bringing unrelated matters into this situation. We will proceed with the judiciary procedures if you act like this.
Whatever happened between us and these people has nothing to do with the freshmen competition. In fact, this will just show that you acted with a bias against the Zeus Academy.
Think before you demand such atrocious conditions."
One of them gained enough confidence to retort.
However, Ivar just smirked.
"Go ahead. If you refuse, then I will also follow up with the judicial procedure. I will file cases on behalf of all these people and more.
Be aware that I have much more information than just these people. Instructors and Senior students of your Academy are using these people for your own benefit for a long time. You lure them with the rewards saying that you will nurture then even give exclusive benefits on behalf of the Zeus Academy.
But you use them all up and throw them away like this.
Then they are unfit do anything else. They cannot go back to their homes in this state and they cannot improve. To save your asses you used them and stole their lives.
I have already collected all the evidence required regarding this. If you don't agree to my conditions and file a judiciary trial. I will also file for one. You don't really have much on me, because I was upfront about my position as an invigilator from the start.
But you? You don't have any justification to do these things to these people, do you?"
The instructors fell silent.
They didn't expect such a move from Ivar. For most people Ivar is nothing but a blood thirsty brute who kills his way through his problems. They are in a unique position where Ivar couldn't casually kill them even if they push some of his buttons.
They wanted to score a win against him with their brains.
Only now did they understand how stupid they were.
"We need time to think this through. We also need to report this to the Academy. We will meet again."
The instructors stood up, when they were about to leave, Ivar spoke.
"Elders Minsk, Bronx, Drake and Kraken."
The instructors stopped and looked at Ivar. Those four are the elders of the Zeus Academy and quite senior ones at that.
"I have dirt on them too. Try saying this to them and they might help you get to a conclusion regarding this."
The Instructors' faces paled. This is worst than they thought. It is one thing for Ivar to threaten them with this kind of thing, but for the Elders? If the Elders knew, they will force the instructors to comply with Ivar's conditions to keep their dirt out of people's eyes.
Ivar is known for his ruthless nature.
So, when they heard that he didn't kill the Elder at the tournament and only took an arm, they thought he just mellowed a bit in the face of Zeus Academy.
Now they understood what he was trying to do.
If he took the Elder's life, Zeus Academy would have directly gone to war. They would be no discussion, there would only be confrontation, even if Ivar released this dirt at that time, it wouldn't have the same effect of Zeus Academy instructors directly admitting to these mistakes.
This way is more humiliating.
They gritted their teeth and left to the Zeus Academy. That same day, they held a meeting once again and this time along with them the four Elders Ivar mentioned and the Dean of the Academy are there.
Dean sighed as he looked at the instructors and the Elders.
"You did all of this and covered it up using the Academy's name. You should know exactly what I will do if the Academy's name has been tarnished because of you guys.
For me the Academy is important, even if I have to carve out the rotten part with my own two hands.
I am not going to give out any suggestions to you, nor am I going to get involved in this. You should solve this mess yourselves, but once again no underhanded means. Keep it straight ad solve it.
If you get caught once again, I am not dragging the Academy down with you guys.
I am already having enough headache with other issues."
Dean left with a sigh. The Stone's issue is getting out of hand with Noble league's involvement. The Pocket dimensions are not open yet and the date for the Inter Academy Tournament is nearing. Everything is a bit of a mess right now.
On top of all that, the missions.
Many people might not have noticed this, but he noticed one thing. The currency within the market started to dip. The place where most of the coins are going is the Hub. That place because the primary source expenditure for almost everyone in the Olympian realm.
And he noticed that once the coins went into the hub, they are not coming out. He never saw Joker coming out to buy anything. It is safe to say that the coins once gone into the hub, will never come back out again.
He noticed that the Noble league hoarding coins because of the deal they had with the Hub, but the top ten rankers are doing the same and they are doing at a faster rate.
Many students are using their savings since the Hub became almost a daily necessity from them. The only reason they didn't notice their inevitable deficit of coins is because they don't have to spend a large sum of money in the Hub in just one day.
He knew things will be tough if the missions become scarce, people will try everything in their power to gain more coins and once they become desperate, only god knows what level they will stoop to.
If that was not enough someone was waiting for him at the office with some news and it is a bad one.
White and Vidyut are waiting for him.
"What do you guys want?"
"We need you help with something, Sir. It is regarding the Hub."
Vidyuth asked first.
"Hub?" The dean had a bad feeling.
"Yes Sir. We would like your recommendation to join the Special training program."
"Special training program?" The dean frowned.
"Yes, sir."
"Why do you need that program? Do you think the Zeus Academy's teachings are inadequate for you?" He is genuinely hurt. Even though the Hub is a great place to train, he still believed that the Academies are still the places where the true learning is.
He is already a bit pissed with the Noble league's actions on creating this special training program. Now, even the best students are asking for this."
"No, sir. We don't believe that the Academy's teachings are inadequate, however, the academy's teachings are more focused on the theoretical aspects and increment in cultivation level and battle strength.
Hub's teachings on the other hand focuses on honing the combat IQ and awareness as well as energy conservation.
We believe most of our losses in the Freshmen tournament are because of that. Even I believe my defeat against Sam is related to that.
I am attending the Hub everyday and I can see myself improving in this area, but it is not enough."
It is White who answered it this time.
The Dean sighed, it is indeed true.
"But what can I do to get you in? I don't have any authority over the Hub. You can only ask him."
Vidyuth frowned at this.
"Sir, how can Noble league get the authorization from an Instructor in the Academy and enter the special training program, but we cannot?
According to the announcement made, the instructor is the one who made them enroll, but when we asked the instructor, we were told that we cannot enter and he doesn't want to recommend us.
Is Academy acting biased against us?"
Vidyuth's question threw him off and the Dean stared blankly. Vidyuth's expression stated that he would kick up a fuss if he doesn't get a proper answer.
"Vidyuth, the instructor might have used his personal favor to make them be accepted into the training program. Noble league does have intimate connections with some people in the Academy realm to make them use their personal favor."
Vidyuth sighed and stood up.
"Dean, please tell us directly if you don't want to help us. An organization like hub? A person like Joker? He is moved by the personal favor of an instructor? It is already far fetched that he gave face to an instructor here. He is not even the best one among you.
But this biased position is really hard to swallow."
Dean's face turned purple. He didn't know how to react to this sudden tantrum. If it was from the instructors, he would have made them cry in agony just for talking back to him like this.
But for Students….
Whatever others might think he really cared about the students and seeing the best students are about to throw a hissy fit, he didn't know how to respond.
"Vidyuth, I am being truthful. I never interacted with Hub's owner regarding this matter. I was never involved in the whole process."
"Sir, many people are trying to enter the hub for this special program. Both students and citizens. However, only people associated with Noble League are able to access it and they endorsed directly that they only got in because of a recommendation from the instructor.
There should be something you can do."
White answered and the Dean sighed.
"I will look into it."
