Chapter 425: THE SCHOOL (2/2)
As for the new recruits that are recently become a part of the organization, Nascent stage cultivators below forty, Grand realm cultivators below thirty-five and Great realm cultivators below thirty shall become the students of the academy.
They will be given special guidance by the seniors and if the nascent stage cultivators find that they don't have any suitable teachers, they can learn themselves from the library.
The School will be arranging the combat missions in form of internships in different times and this applies to all the students who are pursuing their professions as well.
At the end of the day, strength take precedence to everything.
Now coming to all the distinguished guests.
You are all people of high stature and of noble birth. I invited you all today not only to make announce the opening of The school, but also to say something outright.
I see the teaching as the most noble profession in the world. Even nobler than a fighter, soldier, a healer and everything. There is a saying once heard that says ”Mother, Father, teacher and then God” I take this very seriously.
So, for such a noble profession, I don't want to show any bias. You can send the kids from your clans to the school if you want to and once their studies are completed, they can return to your clans, I will not force them to work for me or leave the clan.
But there is one thing I am going to say. If you send people inside the school to try and recruit talents, form factions, create rifts, form alliances and any other political bullshit, then I will exterminate the entire clan for the next nine generations. I wouldn't let a single survivor alive.
Any kid that comes from the noble family, even if he is the son of the Emperor Arc himself, shall follow by the rules and will be treated only as students. He will be treated the same, taught the same and if necessary punished the same.
All their identities only matters outside of the school walls and once they are inside, they are just students.
For me, this place is a sacred place.
If anyone of you is responsible for sullying it, you shall see the devil in me. And trust me no one knows about that character as anyone who saw that never lived past to tell the tale.”
As Sam spoke to this point, many auras raged and the dukes, ministers, nobles all stood up from their seats, they all looked at Sam coldly and an old man who is the minister of Arian said.
”Sam, you are a young talent which the emperor admired and gave you this city as a reward for contribution in the war.
You are proven to be a great business man and has amassed great wealth and you have proven your character by establishing a great place such as School, but the way you talked to the nobles is out of line.
Particularly, naming his majesty himself and threatening the nobles with the extermination is a sin that wouldn't be overlooked easily, you better apologize.”
Sam didn't speak to him and looked at Arc and said.
”Emperor of Arian, I have proclaimed that even if your son enters the school he shall be treated as the same as the other students, is there anything wrong about what I said? Do I or do I not have enough authority to set rules in my own institution?”
”You have every authority.” Arc replied surprising everyone else.
”The city that I am living in, is it something that was rewarded by you?” Sam asked loudly without any hesitation in his voice.”
”No, it is a business deal.”
”Tell your subordinates to be in check, with all due respect to you as an emperor, I don't get this city or anything else by anyone's appreciation and admiration. I have obtained them all by conducting business and even this city is part of a business deal.
I don't want to hear these voices ever again. I have respect for you as a competent emperor, but that doesn't mean I will bow down for whatever your subordinates say.
In the deal we made, we acted as equals and in the deals we will make in the future we will be acting as equals.
Thank you everyone for coming. The ceremony concludes.”
Sam turned around and walked away.
