Xavier wanted to go into the training chamber but it was already dawn. He had to go meet the Dean early in the morning. Xavier wanted to see the Dean from the moment he stepped into the academy.
It was rumoured that the Dean was the strongest expert in the academy and his strength was at the Martial Lord level but nobody knew what exactly was his strength was.
The academy had a very strict structure. It was heard by the Dean will was very Elaine and didn't involve himself in the normal activities of the academy which occurred daily. The only reason why the Dean intervened was because this was a very important manner.
After the Dean come the Protectors of the academy. While they may not have any part in the academy, they are the strongest fighting force in the academy and there are at least 4 protectors in the academy each reaching the Martial Lord level.
Before them were the Vice Deans. Each department had 2 Vice Deans.Each of them were peak Grandmaster experts and had half a step into the next stage. The Vice Deans were not only in charge of their own departments but also in charge of various hair like the mission hall, punishment hall, exchange hall and so on.
This was like Reginald Wade controlling the missions hall and Vice Dean Johnson controlling the exchange hall. These were the people who looked after the day to day affairs of the academy and had most of the power. Even the Protectors can't overthrow their decisions under normal circumstances and only the Dean has the power to do so.
After the Vice Deans come the Professors who's main job is to teach in the academy. The don't actually have much power but strong professors have the more influence than weaker ones.
For example, Professor Luka Horvat, was one such person. He was also a peak Grandmaster expert and thus had the privilege to teach the elite class. He was given better compensation than others and he also had quite the bit of influence.
After the professors come the Deacons who looked after the menial works in the academy like the manager and others. They were the ones who were responsible for daily functions of the academy.
Xavier had met the others but now he was doing to meet the Dean. He didn't even know whether the Dean was a man or a woman as the Dean was always elusive.
Xavier got ready, showed and dressed up. He looked at Sheila who was sitting cross-legged and practicing her new cultivation technique. After she has gotten the technique, she had not uttered a single word. This could tell his much of a cultivation maniac she was.
He just shook his head and went off to the place where they were supposed to meet up with the Dean as Professor Luka stated.
Xavier leisurely walked to his destination.. He came in front of the building and entered it. He looked around and found out that Julia was already there and was straight together with Professor Luka and waiting for him. When she sensed that Xavier had arrived, she looked at him and smiled.
Xavier nodded and smiled back. He then turned around and saw that there were others in the room as well. To be exact, there were 6 others in the room. He saw that all of them were in groups of 3, with 1 professor and 2 students.
Among them, he saw the professor who had conducted his concocters' exam. He saw Xavier and smiled lightly. Xavier smiled back but he always had a doubt in his mind. As a grade 2 concocter, he should have the same facilities as that professor but somehow he didn't. Even the others, they said that he was a grade 1 concocter but if they dug a little they could find out that he was actually a grade 2 but somehow this information was supposed by the someone. He wanted to ask about this matter but he didn't know where to start.
There were other 2 groups. One of the groups had 3 people who were looking at the others on an assistant manner. The professor was a middle aged bald man who had a scarf
on his scalp and a tough face which made him look like he had been through a lot of tough times in his life. His eyes were cold and sharp just like a great looking at his prey.
The 2 students who were with that man were also looking around arrogantly. They both looked a year older than Xavier and they also had good figures. They had good height and we'll sculpted muscled and they were seemingly bursting with strength.
Xavier looked at them and immediately understood that they were from the combat department. The Academy only had 3 major departments, the mechanic, concocter and finally the combat department.
If someone is to choose which department one would like to join, it would be the concocters, as once they become s concocter, they could lead a life of no difficulties. But alas, becoming one want as easy as one might think.
And mechanics, due to the occupation being in such a strange positon in the South Star City, it was also looked down upon. In fact, mechanics played a very important role in maintaining the city but that role was so unrewarding that it was of no attraction and in the 10000 year history of the city, this department has lagged behind.
Xavier also knew the reason. He sighed as he thought,' Is understandable that the mechanics department is looked down upon. After all, every city has its own mechanical department and any invention which was done in that city would be it's exclusive property. And they wouldn't give this technology to other cities. This system resulted in many cities hoarding all the better technology with them while leaving the scraps to the others which had to make do as they didn't have anything better.'
'Due to this, or mechanical technology is awfully backward and when compared to what combat warriors and concocters can do, what mechanics do are trivial.'
This attitude can be seen by the looks on the combat department people's faces. When they looked at the concocters, they were respectful and smiled at them but when they looked at the mechanics, their looks took a complete 180 and became disdainful.
Xavier felt that this quick change in attitude was somewhat funny. While they were giving such like to Julia and Xavier, they didn't do the same to Professor Luka. He was a genuine peak Martial Grandmaster after all and was a subject to their reverence.
The final group consisted of 3 women. One was a woman who looked like she was in her early twenties while the other 2 looked like they were in their late teens. They all had black hair and ocean blue eyes. They all had cold faces but without exception ask were heavenly beauties and one if the teens looked quite a bit like Julia.
Xavier immediately identified that these three were from the Snow clan. The strongest combat clan in the South Star City. While they were women, their cultivation and the attribute of their qi enabled them to be almost invincible in the same stage of cultivation.
Xavier was about to inspect them further but the door in front of them opened and 7 people walked out. The 6 people were the Vice Deans of the different departments and they walked out from the door first. If the 6, there were 4 men and 2 women. They were all wearing the official Vice Dean Robes and had badges which showed their status.
And behind them was another woman. She was also wearing the same robe as the others but her's were rimmed in gold. She also write a badge which showed a star which was made out of crystal and this done in rainbow lights when it came out.
The woman looked beautiful, a lady who could topple a city and was on par with the women from the Snow Clan. She had been hair which hung loosely behind her and reached to her buttocks, a beautiful sculpted face, high checks, large watery eyes, a beautiful nose and shapely ears which were assigned with crystal ear rings.
This woman have it an aura which seemed like she was from another world. The pressure she gave of just by standing there was like a mountain pressing on the crowd and made everyone breath a bit rugged.
"Good morning everyone. I'm the Dean of South Star City's Star Academy, Emilia South."
