166 Chapter 163 Time For Reorganization (2/2)

”Yes, your Kenrick…er Majesty.”

Joseph laughed. ”It's fine, Theon. Whichever of the t.i.tles you are most comfortable with.”

”First one?”

”Yes, Blade?”

”Some of the…new people, say you have gained the t.i.tle of Demon King?”

”Ah, yes. In their realm, most of the kin were labeled demons. Since I've seen actual demons, I knew they were full of shavist, but the t.i.tle stuck. Basically, it is the t.i.tle for the leader of any group of non-pure humans in their realm.”

”Ah,” Blade nodded in understanding.

Joseph smiled and looked at the poor boy.

”Did you think bad thoughts about your king?”

”Uh…no my lord…er, your majesty…I was…”

”It's ok, I understand the confusion. You are fine, Blade. Just keep weird questions to meetings like this, instead of the coronation ceremony, ok?”

”Yes, your highness.”

Stella looked at him. ”You really are going to need to pick a single set of honorifics, Joseph.”

”It certainly seems like it,” he agreed with a sigh, before turning back to the group before him.

”Alright. Carlos, you are going to be in charge of the ANIMAL college. Being a bear-kin, I believe you still possess the ability to speak with animals? Therefore, I am promoting you to head of the college, despite your current lack of understanding of magic. I'm sure it won't take you long to get caught up.

”Andrew, Anya, you will not be a new college, but will be cooperating with the agriculture department to ensure we have plenty to eat. Andrew and Anya? I expect the two of you to help Carlos. He's determined, but just like the kingdom mages had terrible teaching practices, the realm he is from operated differently, so he has to play some catch-up.

”Fred is a bunny-kin who possesses fantastic hearing. He also plays several instruments.”

Several of the girls looked at the bunny man interested. Joseph glanced at Stella.

”Ok, so it's not just guys,” she said, throwing her hands in the air, much to the amus.e.m.e.nt of everyone in the room.

”Fred, you are going to take over the SOUND college.

”Issa, I expect your a.s.sistance with this, as SOUND is pretty much required for ILLUSION.

”Lilly, the LIGHT college can a.s.sist Issa if she needs it.

”Now, last is Boris. He was a dwarf from the other realm who fell in love with Stella. While I admit, he has good taste, I informed him I would END him should he try anything.”

The dwarf nodded matter-of-factly, giving Stella a quick glance.

”Why is he being introduced then?” asked Nancy.

”He is going to be in charge of the college for TECHNOLOGY. He will work closely with the craftsmen and the FIRE, PLANT, EARTH, and MAKING/BREAKING colleges.”

Stella muttered, ”Not very subtle there, Joseph.”

He ignored her and continued on.

”Now, the goal of every division, is to increase our strength in whatever way you can think of. I'll be honest with all of you. The monster to the north, that tried to kill everyone when I was a child, was the avatar of the G.o.d NURKONG. He is a G.o.d of death, destruction, and cold. There are at least four factions of demon wors.h.i.+pers still active, and one of those may belong to him. Should the demons open a portal and pour forth from their realm, or realms, in order to take over this realm, it will be difficult to stop them. NURKONG has p.r.o.nounced an unending personal vendetta against Stella and me, because we stopped him once already, and killed one of his subordinate G.o.ds.

”My end goals are to remove the corruption from the world tree, restore the planet, kill the arch demons in charge of leading their forces into our realm, and dragging NURKONG from his divine realm into ours, so I can murder him for good. Stella and I have already killed a lesser G.o.d by surprise attacking him when he was distracted with a dragon. This time will be harder. He will do everything he can to hara.s.s and a.s.sault us in the meantime. Any questions?”

Selena nodded, ”I think you explained that very well, little Joseph. I will talk with FIRE to see what is required to burn a G.o.d to death.”

”Thanks, Selena.”

(PLEASE DON'T ACTIVELY THREATEN G.o.dS. THEY CAN HEAR YOU.)

'He started it, system.'

(PLEASE?)
