Wizard: I Can Synthesis Everything-Chapter 237 - 233: Truth Academy

...

The next day.

Lin Suo didn’t rush to contact the Vice Dean. Although his tenure at Padolon Golden Academy was short, it did cultivate a considerable network for him.

Ultimately, this matter boiled down to a question of interests.

In the age of cosmic development, resources were everywhere; it was as if gold laid scattered on the ground.

Powerful family clans possessed abundant strength to acquire Level Four starships capable of dimensional travel and preferred to develop independently, monopolizing the advantages.

As they desired, there were too many planets awaiting development, which abounded with resources; they would pick up wealth until their hands went numb.

Mid-sized and small family clans did not qualify for the first pickings. Their only option was to submit to the large clans in a more humble manner to become part of the pioneering teams.

A complement to each other.

The Level Four starships were beyond their reach at this stage.

After the integration of the Mother Star’s survivors with the clan branches developed and proliferated by family expeditions in early years, internal strife and splits were on a hair-trigger.

After all, history could be traced back twenty thousand years.

Not every Wizard could live that long; only the cream of the crop among the Legendary could qualify to consume the "Wise Man’s Stone" crafted through alchemy by the Great Sage Merlin.

Using the power of the Truth Council, they sustained the immortal legacy of Wizards.

Certainly, the Wise Man’s Stone was not the only method to extend life, but it bore the least cost.

Immortality is elusive, but longevity is quite simple.

The Fire King Family was just amongst the lowest tier within the mid-sized clans and had faced continuous upheavals. Had the Lieutenant Colonel not received his brother’s legacy and made a breakthrough to Legendary,

the situation for the Fire King would be even more dire.

For Lin Suo, who had no family background, no sect affiliation, and was laden with wealth, it was only natural that he would fall into the schemes of these nobles.

Without the Fire King, there would be Ice Kings and Earth Kings springing up to covet his fortune.

Lin Suo had faced this situation before.

His solution back then was to gain higher social status and expand his own network.

He did so by being conferred the title of Earl, publicly revealing the secrets of Magic Rune Study, and giving an initial demonstration of his Evolution Core Technology to gain the support of the Desulom family, which stood behind Maquire.

And with the favor of the Vice Dean, those demons and ghosts finally steered clear of him.

Now in a different environment, yet the solutions remained broadly the same.

Only this time, it involved acquiring internal status within the Truth Council through military merit.

The Truth Academy was about to open.

Catherine’s suggestion was excellent; with his level of knowledge, blending in as a linguistics professor would be no issue at all.

Such a position could ensure his safety for the time being.

To maintain it forever, one would have to see how much the Truth Council valued this academy.

Asking for parity with the War Academy was unnecessary.

As long as it held half that level of importance, it could keep him out of trouble.

Originally, he wanted to complete the summons as quickly as possible, then go back to create a new Titan Avatar to disperse into the universe to seek resources and more unclaimed planets.

For now, it seems, biding time in the Truth Academy wasn’t such a bad idea.

It was all about networking; well-accumulated connections would be highly beneficial in the future. Although he had the mind to be independent, he would take every opportunity to benefit from it before exclusion.

There’s no shame in scavenging like a locust when it allows one to enjoy the shade of a large tree.

As for the Alchemy Prosthetics Technology, he was recently pondering over the Supreme Secret Lock, looking for ways to secure this plaything—self-destruct mechanisms and backdoors were all viable options.

When the time was right, trading with the Truth Council would bring the greatest benefit.

Even if he surrendered it now, he could receive a substantial reward.

He might even directly escape the predatory plight of the Fire King Family; however, a newly advanced Legendary, even with the added might of Illidare the Silent, was not enough to force him to sell his technology!

Today, Lin Suo spent the entire day inquiring about the structure of the Truth Academy.

Such as the scale, who was the Dean?

How many disciplines did they offer?

By understanding this, he could estimate the power he could borrow to ensure his self-protection, which would then initiate his vengeance. He was also somewhat concerned that the Lieutenant Colonel might uncover the false accusation case he orchestrated back then.

Poor Charles.

Had the Lieutenant Colonel not peered into the population resources of Iron Hoof Star, none of these events would have unfolded.

The cycle of cause and effect, such is fate. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

A closed loop was faintly taking shape.

"Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots; a temporary victory must not allow one to overlook the risks of the future."

"No matter how perfectly one acts, flawless perfection is impractical, for where one goes, traces are left behind."

"Just the Time Witchcraft, of which I am ignorant, holds power mysterious as gods and spirits; I was too impulsive back then..."

He summarized this period of his life.

Lin Suo vaguely yet surely gleaned more insights, his face beamed with a gentle and kind smile, resembling a mask, but it became a few shades more genuine.

Three days later.

Numerous students from the War Academy were transported via landing ships to the command center in the gravity orbit, which housed a large-scale spaceport designed specifically for mooring starships.

The War Academy would be abolished and transformed into a military school.

Dedicated to training loyal wizards for the Truth Council.

The new school that was about to open, located on the Corona Main Star, was a place Lin Suo had never visited before, surrounded by the Triple Suns, so he was quite looking forward to it.

This batch of students was among the first to be sent to the Truth Academy, some with talents in research, others pushed forward by their families.

In short, anyone unsuitable for collective control or too young had been transferred, unrelated to their talents.

Lin Suo, along with Thea, Theresa, Maquire, and others, were sitting on the seats of the transport ship.

Chatting, playing cards, killing the boring hours.

These past few days, after much thought, Lin Suo ultimately decided not to contact the vice principal, feeling that he could solve the problem without bothering him.

Certainly not because he had swapped tasks with the brat from the Fire King Family and messed up the vice principal’s arrangements.

Who would be scared... Ridiculous.

Iris and Witch Rigardaga, sitting behind Lin Suo and the others, now turned their heads, leaning on the back of their seats, whimsically speaking.

"Hey, do any of you know who the dean of the Truth Academy is?"

Catherine chimed in with an answer.

"No idea, probably like the dean of the Golden Academy; no one has seen them up until now."

The bully Maquire played an Alpha Card, mumbling as he spoke.

"Definitely not the Golden Chairman; it couldn’t possibly be that pathetic Dan Dong Emperor."

[Golden Chairman?]

The thought simultaneously crossed everyone’s mind, seeming quite probable, while Maquire’s latter remark was completely ignored.

Iris grew impatient: "Hey, hey, hey, don’t change the subject, I’m talking about the chairman of the Truth Academy! Aren’t you guys interested?"

Lin Suo let out a hearty laugh.

"I’m very curious, may I ask Miss Iris to tell us about it?"

Iris instantly smiled with satisfaction, licked her cute button nose, showcasing the surprising length and flexibility of her tongue... Exuding charm in plenty, befitting her heritage from the Enchanting Demon of the Demon Clan.

Written all over her was the word "craving".

"Since Professor Rhein is so earnest, I’ll tell you! Listen up!"

"The inaugural dean of the Truth Academy is Fire himself!"

Everyone:

(ﾟ∀ﾟ)

(つᰩ᭄⊂)

Theresa, Thea, and others appeared baffled, while Lin Suo vaguely remembered something, only that his mind was too cluttered with disused memories that needed sifting through.

Suddenly, Lin Suo’s brow twitched, with both surprise and delight.

He had the Historian Skill, which later evolved into the Secret Seeker’s Time Ears, an odd talent that worked sporadically.

In order to enhance the ability, Lin Suo had delved into numerous historical records and unofficial histories.

He spoke with some uncertainty.

"Iris, the Fire you’re referring to, is he the ultimate progeny of Fire Transmitter, the source of all witchcraft?"

"That’s right, it’s him! Professor Rhein really is knowledgeable."

Iris, seeing someone playing along, became even more satisfied.

"The Ancestor of the Wizard’s Path, Fire Transmitter, vanished thirty thousand years ago, leaving behind his last descendant, Fire!"

"Symbolizing the passing of the torch, the other descendants and direct disciples of Fire Transmitter either perished in the blood battle against the Padolon Titan Divine System or defected, turning into Demon Gods in alternative dimensions, some even joining the Abyss."

"Now only Fire remains, and his status in the Truth Council is highly revered."

"I heard he will personally teach a course this time, and his daughter will also enroll in the Truth Academy — she’s like a little princess of the wizard civilization! Hard to imagine what she’s like..."

The more Iris spoke, the redder her face became, almost emitting a sound.

The rest looked on with odd expressions, this one was hopeless... he’s pivoted towards peculiar tastes, truly a Demon style.

But even though Iris’s speech was somewhat biased.

Having Fire endorsing the Truth Academy signaled potential and attention from the Supreme Council, likely surpassing that of the War Academy.

Maquire also started to daydream.

If he could court the precious-to-speak-of little princess, his legendary path would surely be smooth sailing, and he could rampage freely within the Truth Council, transforming into a crab, unstoppable by anyone.

The thought excited him somewhat.

Lin Suo sat among everyone, as if witnessing the spectrum of life, with only Catherine appearing calm.

"Enough already, what does it have to do with you."

Thea suddenly spoke up, cooling the atmosphere, and everyone snapped back to reality, Iris was interrupted from her fantasies, letting out a cold huff.

"That little princess is about the same age as Thea, yet she’s already a Seventh-Ring Wizard, while we were still struggling to break through to become official wizards."

"Even now, aside from Professor Rhein, only Maquire here has consumed a lot of his dad’s cultivation resources, forcibly elevating him."

Indeed, aside from Theresa, who progressed slowly due to her Elf Clan lineage, Catherine and others were all around forty this year, yet only hovering between Fifth and Sixth Ring.

There was a significant bottleneck before reaching the status of Upper Grade Seventh-Ring Wizard.

Unexpectedly, Maquire was targeted, just about to retort angrily.

But he shrank back down when Iris looked at him, his face turning red.

Such an ability of seduction born from her bloodline was truly useful.

It feels like a perfect fit for Demon Prince: Black Winged Demon.

And with Lin Suo shooting her a strange glance, Iris felt a chill inside, but Lin Suo’s state in her eyes, with the oozing Dark Breath, was intoxicating to a Demon.
