237 Knight System Reform (2/2)
Occupation Hall, where the could apply as either as an Assistant, Academy Staff, or even join as a Blacksmith, Alchemist, Inscriptionists, Lair Hunter, and etc.
And the Ceremonial Hall, where the Ritual Waters that Korra managed will be placed and also where the promotions and graduations will be held.
Another thing that Raven wanted to establish for this new academy, is the Squad System. This inspired by his teamwork with his friends and also his Father's colleagues at the 'Hawk Faction'.
A Squad will consist of six to seven members. The positions are the Defenders, Assaults, Scouts, Assassins, Support and Captains. These positions worked just like how they sound. He wanted to include this system to propagate camaraderie, teamwork, and healthy competition for the students.
There will also a be a Yearly Tournament, where the students could participate in a grand competition for the whole Kingdom to witness. Who knows, maybe he could ask the King to watch as a commemoration for the event?
So far, this is what Raven came up to. Naturally, he was all open for revisions and additions. Which is why he said that he couldn't achieve this alone.
That being said, this is just the beginning. So far, Raven's only proposition for the reform only covers the academic changes. The military changes, the social changes, the hierarchy, and other sectors have to go forward with this change should it be approved.
If Raven wanted to, he could also think of a way to reform those sectors but he wanted to leave them towards the correct people to do so. Even in the academy he planned to build, he wanted no position in it and would like to leave the management on Ian's capable hands as he has more experience than him in this sector. Even in the Sacred Leaf Tavern, he allowed Richard to manage it since he was more capable than him.
At the end of his reveal. Everyone was silent. No one was even looking at him. They were either reading the documents, looking at the miniature designs and blueprints of the academy, or inspecting the Formation Core he created.
After a while, the King asked him to step out with Luna on tow, saying that they have to deliberate by themselves. Raven nodded and patiently waited outside of the office with Luna.

”Seriously...” King Alexander sighed after erecting a silence barrier inside the office to prevent the two from eavesdropping. He looked at Luis and said: ”What did you feed him when he was growing up?”
The tense atmosphere loosened with the King's jesting. Everyone sighed with him, obviously they too couldn't help but to be amazed with Raven's thought process.
”How did he come up with such a thing?” Carol, the Head Mistress of the Inscriptionists asked in wonder. ”This Formation Core is one of a kind. Even though I don't understand how he was able to do it, I could tell you now that he wasn't lying. This small thing is truly capable of linking every training grounds there is in the Kingdom, it could even link more should he wanted to.”
”There's one thing that I'm worried about.” Noel from the Combat Department spoke, ”So far, all I'm seeing in this reform is concentrated in the Academic platform. I don't see any sectors included in here. That makes it incomplete isn't it?”
Many agreed to his observation. There was a brief silence in the area before Luis chuckled. Everyone looked at him and thought that he must've realized something, Raven is his child after all.
”It is simple really.” Luis said, ”He wanted our participation with this project.”
”You might think that it's laziness on his part but if you look at it underneath, he wanted to pass a message. He wants to include us in bringing forth this major change. Why else would he invite every single one of us here when he could've reported directly to His Majesty without us?”
”I can tell you with certainty right now that even though he wanted to build this academy by merging the institute, he doesn't want any position in it. He would leave the management to His Excellency Ian's capable hands? Isn't that right, Your Excellency Richard?”
”I could see that happening, Your Excellency Luis.” Richard nodded, ”While he was the one who brought the recipes and inheritances to us, and even built the Sacred Leaf Tavern himself. However he did not partake in it's management and trusted me to do it. I only report urgent matters to him and nothing more per his directions.”
”Either that or, management isn't his forte.” Luis added. ”My kid isn't omnipotent. He wanted to usher the change hand in hand with us. To form a bond that will make the Kingdom stronger and united, that's what he's trying to do. No matter what you all decided upon, I'll place my trust with him.”
