Chapter 948 267: Kael's Teasing, the Headmaster's Invitation, and the Springtime of the War Mage (10K) (Part 5)
As for why it's the vice-dean and not the dean?
It's not about internal suppression by the academies.
In this world, it's always the Magic Monarchs suppressing other lower-level magic professions; rarely would anyone be crazy enough to think a magic academy could suppress a Magic Monarch.
If you feel uneasy, just leave directly, what can you do to me?
In terms of the strength of the Magic Monarchs themselves, they can completely achieve this.
The reason it's the vice-dean is very simple, precisely because Magic Monarchs don't like to trap themselves within this system.
They are not the babysitters of magic academies; they are each top-tier entities deeply integrating production, learning, and research. Even if they leave this circle, there are still plenty of ways to prove their strength, and they can build a sufficiently powerful magic academy on their own strength.
The reason why most Magic Monarchs are vice-deans or honorary vice-deans in name only now is simply because they have a significant number of research tasks to handle and don't have much time to participate in some not-so-useful work.
If Kael could previously at least learn a bit about the research directions and general situations of the Magic Monarchs from relevant magic research theories, now, when it comes to these academic deans, he is even more at a loss.
Because he really wasn't interested in understanding these people's actual situations, for Kael, communicating with them was completely like talking to strangers.
Therefore, without much inclination to cooperate with this group of people, he proactively "quietly" avoided them.
Since last night, he hasn't really rested well, and even eating has become a luxury for him. The only fortunate thing is that last night, there was at least one Senior Sister Lily, who was puffed up with knowledge, fully serving as his little snack.
As the saying goes, beauty can be a feast.
Communicating and exchanging with Kael, and then in the exchange, because of absorbing too much knowledge that she hasn't yet digested or absorbed, making Senior Sister Lily a bit dizzy, is equally adorable.
Now for him, with no way to eat small puffs for the time being, he could only reluctantly start to clean up the marvelous food on the table.
But before Kael could enjoy these exquisite foods, this group of old scholars approached him again.
The problem is, he can't really run away now.
After all, even though Kael couldn't recognize their identities immediately, he could still bear that from the magic robes they wore, there were various crests from different magic academies.
This group of academic deans surrounded Kael, endlessly talking about how many mage elites and key spell theory leaders were born from their academies.
The implication was very clear; they were trying to see if there was a possibility to entice this true genius to join their academy.
The intention hinted at here to snatch talent left other mages momentarily stunned.
After all... it was too sycophantic, really too sycophantic, causing mages from other countries to, while looking on with disdain, also have their hearts stirred slightly.
If they could yammer the Helois Monarch into their country, wouldn't that be a major achievement?
But truly smart people know that Kael's current situation is that his strength is already strong enough to have one foot into becoming the second Duke of the Ingelans Duchy.
Logically speaking, it's impossible to travel across the sea, go to another duchy, or even another country, and become a vice-dean of an academy.
Just as Kael was pondering how he could phrase his rejection in a way that wasn't so hurtful, an old man he hadn't seen in a while appeared before him.
Following behind this old man was Kael's teacher, Luxius.
Merely in the Magic World, Luxius couldn't possibly follow anyone; unless it was him—
The headmaster of the Secret Scroll Mage Academy.
The old headmaster, who personally guided Luxius into the Ingelans Duchy and spent a lifetime building the Mage Tower for Luxius, was for Luxius a very rare existence capable of directly influencing his decisions.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is our Magic Monarch from the Secret Scroll Mage Academy, don't you think what you are doing is a bit inappropriate?"
Upon hearing this, everyone showed embarrassed smiles momentarily.
Trying to poach talent and getting caught by the host on the spot was an experience even their thick skin, developed to an extreme extent, couldn't prevent from feeling a bit shameful.
A headmaster from another federal magic academy, who seemingly had a good relationship with the old headmaster, didn't mind, snorted, and said:
"After all, your Secret Scroll Mage Academy hasn't had that many resources over the years; wouldn't it be better for a talented person to go where there's more resources?"
Is a Magic Monarch powerful?
Powerful, indeed powerful.
Are Magic Monarchs wealthy?
It depends on how you see it. Most people who have just advanced to the stage of Magic Monarch need to spend some time preparing resources for further growth.
So for a considerable amount of time, Magic Monarchs are basically in the early growth stage of quickly collecting resources.
