Everybody at the Academy was still overwhelmed after the headmaster expelled the eight delinquents, this was their third offence but what shocked all of the students was the reason they got expelled,
the white-haired man was calm and never spoke a single word as the Head guard politely escorted them to the headmaster's office while
Vandom Ragnar Hellmane facilitated damage control as the scene created a certain amount of alarm among the educators as they all want some manner of explanation for the incident, and the problem that will soon come knocking at their doorstep,
Vandom Ragnar Hellmane was now patient concerning this matter because of the position and status his family name has, and Ramiel felt he is tied down to the circumstances that he was facing, having a double life tends to create a certain anxiety about having to hide his real personality because of the circumstantial issues that might come,
Ramiel was with Beor while receiving a light snack from the headmaster's wife who was the head librarian and the Homunculus Imperial Huntress commander Zeta living her second life beside his husband,
Beor was still amazed to witness that the headmaster of Arcane Academy was the person Ramiel knew, as he was sipping coffee he asked Ramiel the reason why he when here in the first place, he finished drinking his coffee when he thank Zeta
"I came here to officially see the Academy and personally interact with the students and hopefully get a firm understanding of certain needs that the Academy lacks"
"but seeing this particular scenario concerning social misconducts of influential families that spoil their family members and not properly teaching them to correct their negative personality traits was was a clear indication something was not right,"
Ulgan knock at the headmaster's room and politely informs the head librarian that each of the eight expelled students' family members was already there and demanded that the headmaster explain everything, that had happened. The librarian nods understandingly and excuses herself and when to meet her husband to fix this manner most suitably,
Ramiel felt bad and even contemplated that everything was happening because the new citizens that came to settle here in Arcane were unaware of the situation and didn't share any of the original batches of settlers that personally saw and witnessed Ramiel's glorious rise to power as he established the city of Arcane based on the achievements he gained through his battle prowess and just leadership. However, because of the large influx of refugees, he started to see that opening his home that fast is now creating a situation that might eventually corrode the very foundation he was truly aiming for,
So he asks Beta to send him the current details of the implementing regulation about the resettlement procedures, Beta appears to shock the Dwarf Beor as she introduces herself and summarizes the details about the resettlement of the refugee and how they got into the forsaken forest.
Many variables started to enter Ramiels mind, and now he questions the security of his city based on the fact that he gave out the order to accept those who were displaced, He knows that the moment they declared the empire of the Arcane throughout the land, they would be a target for their enemies. Ramiel also worries about the loyalty of those who have sought refuge in his city, as they may have ulterior motives or be spies for rival factions. He wonders if he made the right decision to accept them and if he should have taken a more cautious approach. However,
He cannot turn away those in need and must find a way to ensure the safety of his people while still upholding his values of compassion and empathy. Ramiel decides to increase security measures and implement background checks for those seeking asylum in his city. He also reaches out to neighbouring cities for support and forms alliances with other leaders who share his beliefs. Despite the challenges ahead, Ramiel remains determined to protect his people,
Beta explains that most new refugees didn't get into Arcane by travelling inside the forsaken forest, but by using the transfer gate, as they received information from the succeeding refugee that they had family members waiting for them outside the forest, and used this information to personally seek them out by using the transfer gate.
Ramiel gave out a heavy sigh, as he asked Beta if any refugees were entering the domain now, Beta answered that, as of today, there were no scheduled refugee transfers. He mentally orders the collective to stop any activity regarding helping, accepting, or assisting any displaced refugee.
and Ramiel asked Beta to set up a meeting later on after this particular issue with the expelled students gets cleared,
Ramiel was disappointed and saw that certain actions, even if they were created out of selfishness and kind generosity, were still used for their gain, so he felt that many from the new batch might have used this to enter the city and just fake everything, even the insignia mark of loyalty on their hands.
Beor was just observing the situation. Many questions crossed his mind, but he could not interrupt their conversation. Suddenly two other persons appeared again he kneeled, These two Dwarf Beor, whom he had seen once and knew who they were within the main administrative governance of Arcane, made him realize the possibility that Ramiel wasn't just an old acquaintance, as Homunculus Imperial Inspector Delta and Homunculus Imperial Enforcer Captain Sierra greeted him,
Ramiel's demeanour began to change, and she gave detailed instructions to secure all details on the new Arcanian resident. for the last five months, and see to it that they conducted detailed background checks on those who had questionable activities before becoming a resident of Arcane
They left instantly, as fast as they came, Ramiel was standing facing the window. As he turned around, he saw Dwarf Beor standing before him and just kneeling and swearing loyalty to the king of Arcane, Ramiel smiled and politely apologized for coming to Beor for being part of an uncomfortable situation, and he directly told the Dwarf about the reason why he instantly, his company in coming here at the academy.
He explained that he needed the Dwarf's expertise in mining and metalworking to help teach the new generation about surviving as well as forging useful items,
The Dwarf listened intently, stroking his beard as he considered Ramiel's proposal. He was hesitant at first, knowing that his current physical condition would be a deterrent the moment students saw his disability when they heard students talking about the protesting and mad parents flexing their power that they even mention the king's name,
Ramiel walk toward the long hallway as many students were listening to their conversation, as some educators and teachers sided with the eight expelled students, and defended them, that the headmaster's action was unlawful and was against the academy bylaws
one of the parents was so upset he even stated that he is currently working for the king's administrative officer named Echo, and this kind of action will surely be heard by the king,
Vandom Ragnar Hellmane was about to react when a loud voice shattered all of the parents' argumentative chatter,
"How dare you all use the name of the king!"
as Ramiel entered the conference room, and just walked toward the center hall facing all the families including the eight students, their arrogance was still overflowing, and even insulted Ramiel by saying he was a nobody,
But Ramiel was not one to be easily intimidated, and he stood tall with a confident smile on his face. He knew that he had something important to say, and he was determined to make them listen.
but even before he could speak, the parents started to scream at him and wanted him removed.
This changed his attitude. changed Zeta wanted to calm his master, while Vandom Ragnar Hellmane shouted to remain silent because they were in front of the King of Arcane,
Everybody laughs and just continues to insult him. Ramiel was about to say something when Homunculus Imperial HellGuard commander Gamma, HellKnight commander Sigma and even Hellmage Echo appeared in full battle armour, and all the trees were their murderous intent as they all kneeled in front of him. Dwarf Beor saw the extent of his authority as he walked toward the parents now fearing for their lives when Inspector Delta also appeared and gave Ramiel a few pieces of paper with confirmed evidence, and summarized that these particular eight families have been doing illegal activities before, and now used the opportunity to enter Arcane and try their luck in manipulating, and hopefully they can influence and bribe some executive with gold, in giving them political favours.
The evidence gathered showed that these families had been involved in various illegal activities, such as fraud and even the illegal manufacturing of potions It was clear that they were not interested in playing by the rules and were willing to do whatever it took to get what they wanted. Their attempt to manipulate the political system was just another example of their disregard for the law and the welfare of others. Their actions were never considered to be that dangerous because they never killed or ordered a person to be killed, so they were deemed to be just social nuisances rather than criminals.
But Ramiel was still upset, so he gave them something to fear, as he gave out a small portion of his power the air around him crackled with electricity as he raised his hands, summoning bolts of lightning to strike the ground around his enemies. They cowered in fear, realizing too late that they had underestimated Ramiel's strength. He was not to be trifled with, and he made sure they knew it.
He knew that he had to be careful with how much of his power he used, but at that moment, it felt good to let loose and show them what he was capable of. Everybody felt his power as he openly ordered that they be allowed to clean and correct their manners and understood that all of them were now under surveillance.
The room fell silent as he spoke, his words ringing with authority and conviction. It was clear that he meant business; he would make sure that they understood the consequences of their actions and the importance of following orders. As the days passed, his power only grew stronger, and soon everyone in the room was looking up to him with respect and admiration. He had proven himself to be a true leader, and no doubt knowing that he had made his point loud and clear. From now on, no one would dare cross him or doubt his abilities.
but the collective saw this act to be a disgraceful one, especially Echo who was unlike the others she will react and will never forgive those who insult her saviour, those eight families must be handled with the utmost fear and pain,
Ramiel looks at Echo knowing she will never back down from seeking atonement for their rude actions and vile behaviour. her unwavering determination to make things right is both admirable and inspiring. Echo understands the gravity of their mistakes and is willing to do whatever it takes to make them seek to amend their wrongdoings, even if she has to torture them and inflict so much fear
that they will never repeat their actions. She knows that justice must be served, and she is willing to take the necessary steps to ensure that it is. her actions speak louder than words, and sadly, she never encountered a person who was willing to change for the better based on her personal experience.
"Don't kill them ok!"
"Echo smiled back !"
and with this, She snapped her fingers and her unit grab everybody and grab them into the transfer gate into her place that she calls the speaking room, which every collective knew was her torture room Once inside, she closed the gate and locked it with a wicked grin on her face.
Ramiel gave out a sigh, and just hope everything will be fine, the student and teachers that witness this were stunned they just stood there silently and waited for whatever will happen next, Ramiel ask the headmaster to gather the other students and assemble at the open ground because he will personally address them
after a few minutes, everybody at the Academy saw him standing on the stage, as the headmaster Vandom Ragnar Hellmane introduce the King of Arcane, some were shocked but the rest just stares at him, and could not understand what was happening, until Ramiel introduce their new Forge teacher, Dwarf Beor who has only one arm,
Ramiel cast a healing and regeneration spell and everybody saw the severed arm of the Dwarf, slowly grew back, starting from the bone, tissue, blood vain, and muscle of every teacher, a student from the very youngest up to the oldest academic enrolled pupil saw this, confirming he was indeed the king of Arcane because the enchantment spell that he cast was tier level five, no other being can cast this kind of high-level healing magic, and Ramiel was not unaware that the stage that he was standing on, had a high-tier assessment crystal mirror that Lady Laerdya Galadhiel personally installed to record all of the student's power levels, and the fact the crystal shattered while it was able to register a number that surpasses its evaluation capability until the moment it broke, was a clear indication he was the real deal,
meanwhile, the guest looked around in fear as they were n able to move, knowing what was coming next. She began to pace back and forth, sizing up each of them with a cold stare.
Then, without warning, she unleashed her fury upon them. Her methods were brutal and unforgiving she would stop at nothing to extract the information and atonement that she needed from them. The screams echoed throughout the room as the prisoners begged for mercy,
but she remained unmoved. It wasn't until hours later that she finally emerged from the speaking room, her face twisted in satisfaction. She had what she wanted - and they had paid the price for their defiance. As for the prisoners, they were left broken and battered, forever scarred by their encounter with her dark powers.
