The Department Chair Arrives

After listening to Vega's explanation, Gu Xi gained some understanding of the situation.

It turns out that there are actually different levels of authority within the academy.

The dean is the highest-ranking figure. He controls the entire academy and can easily appear in any corner of the academy to monitor everything. It can be said that he is almost invincible in the academy.

However, the current dean should be dead. The Vice-Dean, who was originally the Department Head of the Mountain Leopard Department, took over the dean's authority and disappeared somewhere in time and space along with the main building of the college.

Along with it, some of the Department Head's authority he held also disappeared.

Each Department Head has a certain amount of authority, mainly for managing students in their department and the major they teach.

Next are the professors, who also have some authority. Some of them, due to their long tenure or unique abilities, even have more authority than the Department Head.

As Gu Xi mentioned, the Soul Control Bell is the most important part of the academy's defense system.

Normally, it should be in the hands of the dean and Vice-Dean.

But professors of Golem Studies and Puppetry Studies will also have a copy.

This is why there are extra Soul Control Bell.

There are quite a few such items, but very few are as important as the Soul Control Bell.

Therefore, Vega dared not touch the Soul Control Bell, fearing that he would die as soon as he got his hands on it.

He could only think about the next level of permissions, the permissions of faculty and staff.

These faculty and staff members are not professors; they are mainly like librarians, forest rangers, key keepers, and the like.

They have some relatively special, but ultimately ineffective, permissions, which are mainly for the benefit of students.

Next comes the lowest level, the student's permissions. Students can study in the academy and can learn at least four basic skills, or other skills.

As for anything else, that's all, but the academy can guarantee that every student who enters will live.

As he said this, Vega actually glanced at Gu Xi.

"It's a real shame for you. When you came in, the academy had already become like this. You weren't even considered a student."

"Oh, am I not a student? Then can I skip the academy's rules and learn more skills?"

Vega had no idea how to answer Gu Xi's question.

In his opinion, the questions Gu Xi raised were simply absurd.

Since ancient times, the study in the Mysterious Academy has focused on four skills.

You can learn less, but you can't learn more.

To think you could break the rules of the academy like that is simply impossible.

Just as Vega was thinking about how to explain to Gu Xi that he could only learn four skills at the Mysterious Academy, a voice rang out from behind Vega.

"No, no matter what era the academy is in, students can only learn four basic skills."

However, I can do you a favor. It seems you haven't learned anything here. All you've learned is the reward you got for helping the Department Head.

I can help you enroll, giving you the opportunity to re-enroll and learn four basic skills.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi was startled. He looked in the direction from which the voice came and saw a woman who was a little over Mido tall walking towards him.

This woman was not the Skeleton Gu Xi had seen outside the academy; her skin was somewhat bluish-white, and she looked somewhat like Dimi's skin condition.

She was wearing a skirt-style armor made of red and black iron plates.

When moving forward, it can land silently.

As she walked, Gu Xi noticed that a large amount of white steam was being emitted from behind her.

The woman stopped when she was about thirty meters away from Gu Xi.

She first glanced around at the surroundings, and then spoke.

"My name is Miranda, the Department Head of the Bat Department. I heard from Vega that you have the Soul Control Bell? How about we make a deal? I can guarantee you a chance to re-enroll."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi also had a slight idea in his mind.

If he could really re-enroll, then he could hand over this Soul Control Bell that he no longer needed.

"It would be a waste to give you the Soul Control Bell, Miranda. You should know your own strength. You can't beat Naweiduo."

At that moment, another voice rang out, and an ordinary Skeleton, about the same height as a normal person, walked out from nearby.

The Skeleton wore a black robe, carried a staff with a fist-sized diamond at the top, and had a silver Longsword hanging at his waist. As he walked forward, blue Magic Array would occasionally appear under his feet, and he could instantly teleport forward a distance.

In just a few steps, he arrived at a distance of about thirty meters from Gu Xi.

However, Gu Xi noticed that he seemed to be standing less than ten meters away from Miranda.

It's obvious they know each other, and they have a fairly good relationship.

"My name is Karimdo, the Department Head of the Crocodile Department. I saw you on the lake before, but you left after you got on the train."

I originally wanted to talk to you, but you got off the bus in the mountains, and there were reasons why it was inconvenient for me to go in.

So you and I missed each other.

If I hadn't heard that someone was inquiring about the Soul Control Bell and wanted to sell Soul Control Bell, I wouldn't have come to find you.

It was you who took the Soul Control Bell that Naweiduo wanted.

That's just the kind of person he is; he always treats his students as pawns.

I never tell anyone what I want.

As a result, every time he wanted something, it would be treated as trash or unwanted items and taken away or thrown away.

But it always happens to him; he always encounters the same thing.

Karimdo mocked the Black Robe Skeleton Naweiduo Gu Xi had encountered, laughing at him for his efforts that yielded nothing.

After his mockery, Karimdo changed the subject, "Now that the Soul Control Bell is in your hands, Naweiduo will definitely want to take it back. It's a waste for you to keep it. Why don't we cooperate?"

Gu Xi glanced at Karimdo, then laughed.

"Cooperation is fine, but Mrs. Miranda just offered me the opportunity to re-enter the academy. So what would I gain from cooperating with you?"

"Miranda can't beat Naweiduo." Karimdo rolled his eyes at Gu Xi.

"So what? You don't think I'll stay here until you're done fighting and the academy is rebuilt, do you?"

Gu Xi looked at him with an expression that said, "No way, no way."

"I'll definitely have the academy's admission ticket. Once the academy is rebuilt, I'll issue more admission tickets to get in."

I think no matter who wins, you won't go back on your ticket.
