Compared to the joy of the Fourth Epoch, Lynn was much busier in the Second Epoch, almost transforming into a corporate slave.
After the Ancient Sun God approved the establishment of the "Eye of Secrets," Lynn naturally couldn't slack off on this matter and had to start making himself busy.
So, accompanied by Ouroboros, Lynn first selected the final location for the department, bringing with him the people temporarily assigned by Sasrir to start building the future office space. Yes, the house was newly built, as there wasn't any existing building in the divine kingdom suitable for a school.
Fortunately, most Beyonders are quite capable. Even when it comes to moving bricks, they do it faster than others. Lynn didn't intend to build a very large school overnight, so this step didn't take too long.
Since the buildings in this period were quite natural, without any paint or similar materials, there was no need to worry about hazards like formaldehyde. Furthermore, any potential problems could be solved with extraordinary abilities. So, once the buildings were completed, they could be used immediately.
After resolving the school issues, Lynn utilized a certain humanoid "lucky charm" to select an auspicious day, and together with Ouroboros, they began preparing the initial teaching materials.
This part of the lesson preparation naturally focused on teaching the students literacy, helping them overcome illiteracy, and providing basic knowledge.
Additionally, Lynn prepared some gifts for his dear students.
"Lynn, I brought the Beyonder materials you requested from Sasrir for the Mystery Pryer and Savant pathways. Here is the material list. Sasrir asked me to tell you that if it's not enough, you can apply for more."
Ouroboros said this while placing the various sized metal boxes he carried onto the table, filling the entire surface with these boxes.
He then took out a roll of parchment from his pocket and handed it to Lynn.
"Thank you!" Lynn, who was organizing his lesson plan, politely thanked him, took the parchment, and began checking the materials in the boxes.
Indeed, the surprise Lynn prepared for the students' first day was the basic potions for the Sequence 9 of the Mystery Pryer and Savant pathways.
Lynn didn't plan to wait until after teaching the basics to make the students Beyonders. His idea was to first inform them of the dangers and precautions of becoming a Beyonder, and then directly let them advance by drinking the potions, with him and Ouroboros watching. Even if someone had an accident, they could be pulled back in time.
After all, occult knowledge can be learned later. Literacy doesn't hinder advancement to Sequence 9, just like Klein, who only started learning about the occult after becoming a Seer.
The characteristics of the Mystery Pryer and Savant potions would actually aid the students' learning later on.
At least, they would gain a photographic memory buff.
"Perfect!" Lynn quickly finished checking the materials, then looked at the 28 students sitting obediently at their desks. Behind him was the blackboard he had set up.
Lynn wrote "First Lesson" on the blackboard with chalk, then turned to the students and cleared his throat, saying,
"I don't think I need to introduce myself again. From today onwards, the 'Eye of Secrets' is officially established! You are the first batch of members of the 'Eye of Secrets' and my first batch of students. From this perspective, I have high hopes for you."
"The duties of the 'Eye of Secrets' will not be detailed here. You only need to know that your most important task now is to learn: learn basic knowledge, learn about the occult, learn how to become stronger, and how to survive better in this world."
Lynn paused for a moment before continuing with a smile:
"The 'Eye of Secrets' primarily follows the Mystery Pryer and Savant pathways. As my students, you will choose one of these two pathways. I will now detail the dangers and precautions of becoming a Beyonder, as well as the relevant abilities of the Mystery Pryer and Savant pathways."
"Of course, if any of you feel unsuited to these two pathways, you can tell me, and I will consider allowing you to choose other pathways." At this point, Lynn's expression became more serious as he continued,
"But I must state in advance that I am neither omniscient nor omnipotent. My expertise lies mainly in the abilities of the Mystery Pryer and Savant pathways. So, if someone chooses another pathway, I may not be able to provide the best guidance."
Lynn wasn't trying to scare anyone, just stating the truth. Each pathway focuses on different aspects. For instance, the Warrior pathway emphasizes combat, and as a novice teacher, Lynn could confidently teach his own pathways, but not others.
He simply didn't have the capability.
Hearing this, the students exchanged looks but didn't speak. However, their expressions clearly conveyed one message: Only a fool would choose a pathway other than Mystery Pryer or Savant.
This didn't surprise Lynn. No child of this era is naive. With his words making it clear, they naturally knew the best choice. Moreover, these students were carefully selected by Lynn, suited for the Mystery Pryer or Savant pathways.
Those clearly suited for the Warrior pathway had already been recommended to the Red Army by Lynn.
I wonder how Little Red's army is doing. Lynn thought to himself and continued:
"If there are no objections, let's start the lesson!"
"After the lesson, you'll choose your pathways."
...
"Teaching students is indeed laborious, but fortunately, my students are well-behaved."
In the Fifth Epoch, Lynn lazily stretched, feeling he was one step closer to Sasrir's corporate life.
Lynn's Second Epoch persona was still teaching students, and they had reached the potion advancement stage. As expected, about two-thirds chose to become Mystery Pryers, while the remaining third chose Savant potions.
With Lynn and Ouroboros, both Sequence 2, supervising, no one had any accidents, and all advanced safely.
This reassured Lynn, who then began his literacy classes.
