Chapter 426: Deal (1/2)

Sam didn't bother to look at the rest of the nobles.

Today, he has two reasons to invite them all over, one of them is, of course, to announce the opening of the school and the other thing is to warn them.

Soon, the situation in the western continent will change, he has at most a year and a half before the major associations and possibly the whole six major powers. And this is a conservative estimate.

If they could find Sam's next course of action then they would come and make a move earlier.

No matter when that attack happened, Sam is not worried about taking them head-on. He has many ways to survive. If push comes to shove, all he has to do is escape and start it all over again. He might not be able to make another business of this scale on the planet.

But he can still make do with it. He has loads of money at this moment, he doesn't need to do anything. At this point, the organization and institute are for developing his own force.

The main problem during the collision of the major powers and he would be the nobility of the empire.

These politicians of the nation are so much involved in themselves and they are extremely self-centered. If the time comes, they would completely disregard Arc's existence and would voluntarily become the dogs of the major powers.

It would be troublesome for him to deal with them at that time. So, what he has to do make sure he either wiped them out before the war, or he should put them in their place so that they wouldn't have any thoughts.

And today, he used Arc's prestige as a stage to finish this first step in the process.

With Sam's speech, there is no denial that he is extremely disrespectful towards the Emperor.

Even his actions are so. He didn't bow to the emperor; he didn't even personally receive him. He just came and treated the emperor the same as any other audience.

Many of the noble families are thinking that the emperor is showing favoritism towards Sam and are ecstatic when he did all this, but only by the end of the speech did they realize what is happening.

Arc himself seemed to be treating Sam as an equal. There is not a single hint of anger on his face. They don't know what to do anymore.

After everyone left, the new teachers of the school started organizing the rest of the structure.

The first they did is make arrangements for the admissions. Sam didn't place many restrictions on the school. Students get admitted every year and once a year there would be large recruitment.

As for the assignment of classes, the students who are touring the whole school saw a place which could help them with that.

This place is the class registration area.

Here every student should register for the classes they wanted to attend.

Every candidate was given a metallic card which was engraved with some runes and on one side there is Sam's signature symbol.

The other side has his name and picture. There is some space under this name and signature.

This is the identity card and it has many other uses.

The main purpose of the identity card is credits.

The credits are the school's currency. It is just like spirit stones, but they are actually a lot more valuable.

A fixed amount of credits will be given to the students and lecturers every month. They have to use these credits to enroll in the required classes. Apart from that, if they are enrolled in a specific course, like formation master or inscription master, there are some fixed classes they have to attend and their freedom to select other classes would be limited by number.

After all, they would have to finish their own course before trying to learn more than what they need.

As for how they would enroll in classes, it is simple.

There are various subscription levels for every class. They could subscribe for the whole course if they want to, or they could just attend the course for a month and decide for themselves to attend the next month and pay for it if they want to.

They can even pay only for a single class and attend that day if all they want is to learn that specific thing in that course.

Of course, the places are limited.

As for how they could get credits, they can take the occasional exams that are held in the courses they enrolled in and get the credits from the teachers, take the missions assigned by the school, work part-time in Sam's city or exchange the external resources such as beasts, meat, herbs, metals, etc.

But only raw resources are accepted.

As for the teachers, their credits will be depending on the performance of their students and the number of students that actually attend their class and course.
