Chapter 1339 - 392: Prince Colin, as Fair as the Sun
It is not just the apprentices who need Lord Demon King's care, but also the scholars who are eagerly waiting to be nurtured.
Although allocating resources for the restarted Void Realm is nominally a "two-way selection," under the imbalance of supply and demand, the Reorganization Committee's opportunities clearly far exceed those of scholars eager to share in the Void Realm's dividends but struggling to find a way in.
Scholars eager to participate in this Void Realm redistribution banquet have long formed a long line, and their application letters have filled the committee office's mailbox like snow, even reaching the Magic Science Laboratory and even Luo Yan's dormitory.
What Luo Yan needs to do is ensure these resources are allocated to those worthy of his investment.
In the most "fair" way those scholars crave the most.
He does not need to use this favor to do anything or to have those Masters and Professors do things for him.
He only needs these people to repeatedly reminisce about the time of "Prince Colin" at the Academic State when faced with life's and academic's displeasures.
This is almost certain to happen.
After all, no matter how high they climb, Hector is their ceiling.
Looking at Professor Hector's attitude towards apprentices, it is clear that this guy must have accumulated a belly full of unresolved anger in his work.
By then, even if only one-tenth of the scholars with ideals come to the Gana Continent to seek him, their wisdom will be enough to support a brand-new Mage Tower.
At dusk.
In a seminar room specifically used for "Void Realm Asset Reorganization Committee" meetings, the atmosphere was solemn and somber. The gigantic black oak long table and rows of high-back chairs symbolize the supreme academic authority of the committee, weighing on the hearts of all those waiting.
Dozens of usually highly respected Masters and Professors in front of students, now sitting upright in waiting seats like apprentices awaiting a final exam.
Their expressions varied, some nervously rubbing their Magic Wands, some pretended to be calm and closed their eyes to rest, and some whispered with the person beside them, exchanging uneasy glances.
"What is the Great Sage thinking, entrusting the Academic State's future to an outsider..."
"Too young... this is not a good thing. I would rather let Arist Thorne choose, he may not be fair but at least he has enough weight."
"I don't know, but I think... a committee is not enough to be related to the 'future of the Academic State,' maybe the Great Sage has his own plan?"
"Sometimes I really don't understand him."
"That's normal. If you understood him, you would be a Sage."
"..."
The scholars present are the backbone of the Academic State, mostly at Silver Level and Gold Level, with even a few rare Platinum Level Mages among them.
Yet at this moment, the fate of all of them hangs by a thread, waiting for the young man named Colin to make his choice...
A Master named Rockwell was holding his lifelong research notes tightly in his arms, his palms already soaked with sweat.
He had been studying Void Realm theory for thirty years but never got the chance to independently lead a project due to his lack of social skills. This was the only opportunity of his life, and he could feel his heart pounding in his chest.
In stark contrast to the tense and oppressive atmosphere in the room was the composure on one side of the long table.
Luo Yan did not sit on a throne like a usurper above everyone, but rather sat beside the table in an approachable manner.
He was quietly conversing with an assistant beside him, occasionally flipping through the candidate files in front of him, his expression focused and calm.
The more relaxed he appeared, the more tense the waiting scholars became.
This invisible contrast highlighted the absolute power he held far more effectively than any imposing ceremonial display, though he never deliberately flaunted this glory.
Finally, he closed the first file in his hand and looked up, his gentle gaze sweeping across the room.
The room instantly fell silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Luo Yan's voice was clear and steady, temporarily soothing the anxiety in their hearts, "Thank you all for coming."
"Time is precious, let's begin directly."
Luo Yan signaled to the assistant beside him, who immediately read out the first name aloud.
"First, Professor Camille."
A slightly plump, haughty middle-aged professor stood up from the waiting seat.
He adjusted his master Magic Robe embroidered with gold trim and strode forward with steady steps, nodding casually at Luo Yan before he immediately began his statement.
As a Platinum Level strongman himself, he did not need to go out of his way to please the Prince. And Luo Yan did not care if his attitude was humble, he just patiently listened to him continue.
"Regarding the depletion issue of Void Realm No. 100..." His voice was sonorous, filled with unquestionable confidence, "I must point out, the situation back then was extremely complex, we unfortunately encountered a rare Void energy fluctuation, resulting in a serious exclusion phenomenon of plane laws. Ultimately, the root of the failure was the severe underinvestment by the council at that time..."
What the hell is Void energy fluctuation?
The scholars in the audience looked at each other, clearly not expecting this guy to start with such nonsense.
Professor Camille, however, did not care, continuing to speak while using complex academic terms and his own qualifications to overpower others.
Although he did not wear arrogance on his face, his words nevertheless revealed a disdain for Colin, the "young executive head."
At the end of the presentation, he cleared his throat and seemingly casually mentioned one more point.
