353 Successor
Farnus stood up and he appeared above the stage flying as he gathered everyone's attention.
"There are some announcements that needed to be made today," Farnus spoke.
Right now, not only the students but the World was watching this broadcast.
"As you know, World Academy was created with the approval of the High Council," Farnus said.
"But at that time, Silvus Grandus, the Chairman of Mage Association, helped me a lot to build this place for all of you guys," Farnus said, gesturing his hand at Silvus.
"As a reward, I gave him a favor," Farnus said as apart from a few not many were surprised.
It was known that the Chairman of the Mage Association was one of the few that supported and made the High Council approve the idea of World Academy.
"So, for that favor, I, as the Principal of World Academy, have accepted his Grandchildren for a special class in World Academy," Farnus said, and many students were surprised.
"Aren't they around 12 years old?"
"Special Class?"
Many students, including the guests sitting in the Arena, were confused, but Farnus smiled as the time had come when he would start his plan.
"It's a special class that will take those kids and will be a Five-Year course, but those kids are not the only ones in that class," Farnus said.
"The Greville family just found the children of Ivar Greville, who was one of the most exceptional students that left World Academy," Farnus praised Ivar.
In the public's eye, especially in Somaria, Ivar was no less than a hero, and even outside of Somaria, people still praised Ivar Greville for his talents.
Listening to this, there were a lot of raised eyes and confusion.
'So, the rumors were true,' Osbert said to himself.
Osbert hid his dissatisfaction, as there was no point of going against Farnus Calmort. After all, for the restriction they have placed on him, made Farnus had complete freedom to run World Academy as he wanted.
Till the restrictions on Farnus were not broken, nobody could interfere with his decision, and when the World Academy was formed, it was obvious that someone like Silvus would use his favor with Farnus for something similar like this.Back then, only 7 People Supported Farnus initially, and surprisingly Greville and Raven family including the Demarcus family was one of them.
Due to the fact that all the Elite Families of Somaria were in support, and the Flying Island was within Somaria, they didn't mind the existence of World Academy.
Trial's Ground made a lot of Elite Families invade Somaria for their personal gains, and the only thing that was keeping things peaceful in Somaria was the fear of the Greville Family.
There was reason why people hated the Greville family, and the yearlong grudges were still present to this day.
"As I gave Seven favors at that time," Farnus said.
"So those kids will attend the same Special Class with the Grandus Twins," Farnus said.
Nobody questioned his decision, even the Seat Holders were quite but this was not a good news for many people.
World Academy was an absolute safe ground which meant no power could invade it as all the Teleportation Portal were under strict eyes every second.
Even for Asher, invading the World Academy was not possible even in his previous life.
The presence of Farnus Calmort, with powerful SS Rank Hunters like Elsa Robles, was enough to deal with any sort of invaders if they miraculously managed to enter the World Academy.
And this was why those that were targeting Lucas and Livia would be shocked by this news, as that time was enough for the twins to catch up with others and become stronger.
And in the meantime, the Greville could focus on expanding and consolidating their current power.
"To clear any doubts, these kids will not participate in the Ranking System, but to graduate and use the Facilities that all of you work hard for they will have to prove themselves," Farnus explained.
The places that every student in World Academy wanted to enter, such as the Trials Ground or places like Great Library.
As all the facilities were related to the Ranking System, they needed to make new rules that didn't disturb the existing flow of World Academy.
"The integrity of World Academy will be maintained, and those kids will only be allowed to participate in the Ranking System once they have grown enough," Farnus said.
Some of the students were jealous of this opportunity, but they were sure if Farnus himself was claiming to maintain the balance, it wasn't a problem.
"All the other rules will apply to them as well," Farnus said.
But Alfred had a frown on his face, and the reason behind all this was the words that Farnus chose.It didn't matter if those 4 kids were receiving special privileges, as this was something that was already discussed before World Academy was even made.
Although Silvus was fine with it, as he trusted Farnus but that wasn't the case for someone like Alfred.
"But there is another announcement that I want to make," Farnus said.
"I am sure that all of you remember what happened a few months ago, the fight with the calamities," Farnus said as all the Seat Holders and people sitting in the VIP Section frowned.
'Why is he bringing it up,' Osbert thought even though he didn't expect Farnus to bring out the topic that they wanted to avoid.
"Although we handled it easily, at that time I was reminded that nobody could be certain of what could happen in the future," Farnus said with a serious look in his eyes.
All the Seat Holders, including Xarax and Osbert, had a serious look on their faces, and their mana started to rise.
Farnus noticed, but he chose to ignore it.
"At that time, it reminded me that despite being old, I have still not chosen a successor," Farnus said as everyone was shocked.
Successor!
The one who will inherit the knowledge as well as the ownership of the World Academy.
"Is it finally happening?" Some students got excited.
Asher, who was sitting in his room, looked at the screen.
"So he decided to start his show," Asher muttered.
He was aware that everything that Farnus was about to say was a lie.
"What a joke," Asher said as he wanted to see what was going to happen next.
Successor?
There was nothing like this in Asher's previous life, and he knew that the Successor was already decided.
A lot of people were shocked, and some eyes were filled with excitement as something huge was about to happen.
"Is that why this tournament was going so fast," Leonard said with a serious look on his face.
"This might create some problem," Leonard muttered.
Out of all things, he hadn't expected Farnus Calmort to do this.
The Legacy of the Spear God, and the Seat of the Principal of World Academy was something that gave the next Successor the chance to become a Seat Holder.
And among them were all the artifacts that Farnus owned, as they would be given to the Successor as well.
"I need to win this damn competition," Leonard said he clenched his fist.
