NOVEL NEXT Chapter 825
<825 – The Power of the Student Council (8)>
The professors who observed the recent actions of the student council were feeling extremely uneasy.
“Now that the Foundation is gone, they’re accepting its remnants into the Academy?”
“They even established an Emergency Rescue Department aimed at rescuing the remnants of the Foundation. The fact that the Admiral of the Alliance, Countess Arcadia, has taken an executive position shows the intentions of Student Council President Jezel.”
“It’s widely known that Jezel, the second leader of the Revolutionary Army, has pro-Foundation leanings. They are all in cahoots with Oknodie.”
“It seems the student council has effectively fallen into the hands of the Foundation’s heir.”
“Isn’t she the most successful Foundation scholarship student in history?”
Even though her identity was not hidden and had become common knowledge, she wielded such power.
Oknodie’s influence ranked just below the Director.
As the legitimate heir of the Foundation, she had sufficiently showcased her political skills.
“But is this something to be so worried about? Unlike the Director, she doesn’t use students as disposable tools or send underlings to throw the world into chaos, right?”
“The Seoguyeon Main Team nobility were recently wiped out, you know?”
“Well, they acted rashly to outright reject our Academy students. That’s not a battle against the Foundation but against our Academy.”
Thinking it over, it made sense.
In reality, Oknodie was just poorly perceived due to being the Director’s daughter; she hadn’t caused enormous harm like her father.
Instead, she might have prevented her father’s evils, disbanded the evil organization known as the Foundation, and restructured the remaining good people.
The influence of good outweighed that of evil.
She had killed the first revolutionary and appointed the second revolutionary Jezel, revitalizing the Revolutionary Army, and through Warrior Son Ohchun, had thwarted the Beastman Resurgence Society’s tyranny.
Multicolor Magic Tower had shifted from combat-focused Jangryeol School to the essence and fun of magic with Red Flame School at its forefront.
In the Empire, she had expelled the previous emperor and the Taboo Emperor, elevating the Dark Empress Masugaki to power.
She publicly exposed the threats from the Underworld and led their military to annihilation alongside the Empire and Foundation’s forces.
Her exploits also included rescuing the Goblin Warrior and liberating the Goblin World from its intrinsic greed, saving it from the professors’ evil incursions.
She freed the Homunculi and returned their human rights too.
“Wait, this is actually pretty good?”
“Doesn’t this seem like a reevaluation is urgently needed?”
Professors were baffled by Oknodie’s unbelievably wholesome past!
As a result, radical professors were swept away, fragmentation occurred with branch campuses and supplementary classes, causing more moderate professors to ponder seriously.
“Isn’t this potentially a good asset?”
“Uh-huh?”
“Think about it. What kind of organization was the Foundation? They recruited talented individuals worldwide to turn them into spies, honing raw talent into scholarship students and annually infiltrating the world’s best Gift Academy with a significant number of spies, right?”
“That’s true.”
“In other words, a Foundation-selected talent is basically a guaranteed competent individual.”
“Oh… that opinion has some merit.”
“By the way, there have been many vacancies in major government positions around the world due to various incidents; the demand for talents in new research projects and private organizations is increasing. The instructors have been increasingly troublesome with their desertions to seek easier lives outside. Aren’t these people perfect substitutes?”
Oknodie’s world-altering actions required competent individuals to keep up with the change or replenish the depleted workforce.
Having a background as an instructor of Gift Academy made her an attractive candidate for such positions.
“Still, they’re remnants of the Foundation, and Oknodie’s subordinates. What guarantees do we have that accepting them won’t lead us to a second Foundation? What assurance do we have that they won’t commit atrocities like the Director in the future?”
“To prevent that, the presence of a proper mentor is crucial.”
“True. If we teach Oknodie well, she won’t become an evil being threatening world peace like Dragon Principal Omoshiroi.”
Unlike the villains who tried to use, subdue, and control Oknodie, the moderate professors sought to guide her onto the true path with a mentor mindset!
However, even their conclusions weren’t necessarily moderate.
“I heard Oknodie has been getting low attendance compared to her enrollment in classes while still achieving good grades. Based solely on the Foundation’s knowledge and information, it seems nearly impossible to guide her correctly this way.”
“Indeed. Myung So. You’ve monitored that child for a long time; can you provide us with helpful advice?”
Myung So.
He was a professor who had long observed and protected Oknodie alongside the Destroyer. His importance as the primary advisor on Oknodie for moderate professors rapidly increased.
He was going to control a student who could potentially become a bigger figure than the Dark Empress Masugaki, which naturally garnered high regard.
“You must let go of your greed. Don’t try to achieve everything at once; focus on one thing.”
“And that one thing is?”
“Ensuring Oknodie stays and does not engage in outside activities. Make her focus on her school activities.”
Sure enough, the experienced observation had not been in vain. Other professors grasped the overlooked but most critical issue.
“Oknodie has already mastered the Academy’s lectures and could obtain high grades anytime just by filling the required attendance days.”
The professors couldn’t hold back their admiration at Myung So’s insight.
“Wow.”
“The Foundation’s preparatory teachings are that exceptional?”
“If we hire remnants of the Foundation as instructors, we should extract their education and apply it to our students. We could probably expand the syllabus by three more volumes in a semester.”
“Very desirable.”
Although the unanticipated trigger for student exhaustion was activated due to the syllabus expansion, Myung So, as an ascendant moderate professor, didn’t mind trivial issues.
“Anyway, if attendance can be bought with points and exams can be passed in a single shot, it makes sense that she’s wandering outside instead of concentrating on her school activities.”
“Besides, who wouldn’t get bored staying in the Academy with a genius reviewing what they already know?”
“Word on the street is that during this midterm exam, the lectures were so trivial he felt like dying, and he wrote a radically absurd answer that provoked some radical professors.”
Unbeknownst to Oknodie, whose previous misdeeds piled up due to the difficulties faced by Darknodi, the professors continued their discussions.
“How about we establish a new class in the department? Existing students can’t handle high-intensity lectures like Oknodie, and Oknodie can’t go through the same standard lectures as the current students, so we need to set a new standard.”
“How many people would even keep up with such high-level lectures? I doubt its effectiveness.”
“No, surprisingly, it could hold value. They say the Goblin Warrior, who peaked once and fell back, has remarkable achievements.”
“Oh.”
“Transfer student representative Astarot is very impressive too.”
“Warrior Ishtar’s growth is quite brilliant as well.”
“I heard Irene has just crossed into the fourth level of her domain.”
“There must be still students from the Foundation being nurtured.”
Competent individuals who couldn’t settle for just upper-class levels.
The secret weapons of the scattered Foundation.
Warriors treated as abnormal geniuses.
“What do you all think about putting them together to form an elite class above the upper class?”
“I’m in favor.”
“I agree.”
“I enthusiastically welcome it.”
“Let’s prepare a proper lecture for Oknodie so she won’t be disappointed.”
“We’re professors after all; we can’t just turn her down because she claims our levels are low, can we? If our students can’t understand, it means we’ve been lowering the difficulty and yet still lack quality.”
“Hehe. To teach with no limits and full power, what a relief!”
Gather those special students and provide them with unrestricted, unlimited-tier instruction.
If Professor Mahabharata had been present, he would be in shock at the talk of preserving radical professors, believing all moderates were dead, but sadly, he was quickly absent due to supervising Goblin World Campus.
“Hmm. What do you think about that child Titosso? She’s a Revolutionary Saintess affiliated with the Saintess Alliance, showing exceptional growth.”
“If we’re unsure, let’s throw her in and figure it out. If she can’t handle it, she’ll naturally drop to a lower level.”
“That makes sense.”
The professors casually added students perceived to be growing fast, alongside Oknodie, onto the elite class roster.
This was how the widespread comical event initiated by Oknodie and the student council had snowballed into the establishment of an elite class offering unrestricted, high-level education.
[Ah, this is making my mouth water. Let’s kickstart it!]
With the professors bringing in an event that the Principal only needed to find entertaining to give the green light, Oknodie, who had been acting out like a lost child in need of freedom, now had a ruthless curriculum taking shape that would keep her focused.
