Upon completing his mission, Hudson refused to stay and returned directly to his territory.
He had no wish to be involved in the affairs of the Arcane Academy, especially when it meant dealing with a group of astonishingly well-respected elders. Even the king had been scolded like a child in their presence; Hudson had no desire to invite hardship upon himself.
Besides, the current Arcane Academy had nothing to offer. It was best to let these old fellows take the lead, and he could come to share the achievements once the institution was established.
The title of "Founder of the Academy" was not just for show. Once the elders had passed on to meet the Lord of the Dawn, Hudson, as the honorary principal, would definitely have the qualification to take over.
He was not afraid of a time endurance contest with a group of old men whose average age exceeded 160 years.
Unless they could break into the Sanctuary, the end of their lives was not far off.
