Karimdo was speechless for a moment, knowing full well that what Gu Xi said was true.

Regardless of the academy's direction or whether it even exists, as long as someone activates their admission ticket, they can enter the academy to study.

There's no need to consider who gave him the admission ticket, nor whether he has any grudge against the dean of the academy.

All they need to know is that once they get an admission ticket to the academy, they can learn the corresponding knowledge.

"Okay, you're right. If you just want to learn some basic skills, that's enough. After all, as the head of the department, I can issue you an admission ticket."

But don't you think there aren't many good opportunities like this?

Would you like to try something else?

Hearing Karimdo's words, Gu Xi couldn't help but laugh.

"Director Karimdo, your persuasive skills aren't that great. When you talk, I always get the feeling that you're trying to get something for nothing."

"Well, I'm not good at these things."

Hearing Gu Xi's sarcasm, Karimdo not only didn't get angry, but laughed instead.

"Mechanics and combat are my style, but this time I'm serious. I have a plan. Did you see the previous battle?"

Gu Xi was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was referring to the explosion that had been heard in the sky earlier.

He nodded, indicating that he understood.

"It was only at that time that I realized there were so many people in the academy who coveted the position of dean."

So I thought about it and decided that we should simply give up the monopoly, win over some people, and rebuild the academy.

For example, I can become the dean. Miranda, if you are willing to join now, I can arrange for you to be the Vice-Dean and Department Head of the department.

This frees up three Department Head positions within the college.

As Karimdo spoke, he looked at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was filled with questions.

What does that mean? It means giving him the position of Department Head a department at a Mysterious Academy.

What should he teach? Summoning?

Is this worthwhile? One is that I can come back to learn skills next time, and the other is that I can become the Department Head in the college.

Gu Xi was naturally clear about which option would bring more benefits.

Karimdo seemed about to say something when Gu Xi decisively replied, "Okay, I'll join. I want a Department Head position."

As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, Karimdo and Miranda both looked at Gu Xi.

The two were stunned for a moment, then Miranda burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Karimdo, I never thought you'd have a day like this."

Gu Xi immediately sensed something was amiss. He glanced at Miranda and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"No, he made the same mistake as Naweiduo. He always had a habit of not explaining things clearly and making people guess. When you asked him for a reward, he would say that you made it up yourself and that he never said it."

However, he suffered a huge loss this time.

He originally thought that if he gave you a hint, you would agree and that would be it, but he didn't expect you to directly ask for the position of Department Head.

I guess he originally only wanted to give you a faculty position within the college, maybe up to the highest level of professor.

Hahaha, that's hilarious! Here's the condition, you can agree to it.

"Don't hand over the Soul Control Bell unless you're given a Department Head position."

After Miranda said that, Gu Xi realized that he had been overthinking things.

But that's fine too. Anyway, he's given the conditions. Whether he's willing to accept them or not is up to Karimdo.

Even if Gu Xi leaves now, he won't lose out.

At worst, I can just give the stuff to Miranda before I leave and ask her to give me another ticket.

Karimdo also recovered from their shock at this moment.

"That's fine. I was worried about not having enough staff, but now that only three departments are left, I will become the dean and have to give up the position of a Department Head."

The Department Head the most capable department can become the Vice-Dean.

There were only two Department Head positions available, and I happened to find a portrait of a former dean in the college, so he could become a Department Head.

In addition, one of my former students can manage the Crocodile Department that I relinquished.

Your joining me has shown me another opportunity.

Four departments would be the most reasonable arrangement.

I can agree to that, but you have to become the Department Head of the Mountain Leopard Department, which was taken away by the former Vice-Dean.

Everything must be built from scratch by you.

Gu Xi had no objection to starting a new department from scratch.

Gu Xi believes that there are standard procedures involved in all of this.

However, Gu Xi now has a problem.

"If I become the Department Head, will I have to stay here forever?"

"No need. You can assign three professors to each department to be responsible for teaching, and you can also assign seven faculty members to help manage students."

Finally, you can leave a portrait, which can be used for management even if you are not here.

Therefore, you don't need to worry about controlling the departments at all.

"Great, I can become the new Department Head. But I have another question: does it have to be Mountain Leopard? Anyway, the original Mountain Leopard Department no longer exists. Can we change the name?"

"Of course, even if you didn't say it, I would have made you change the name, because when the new academy is established, all the names will have to be changed."

As Karimdo spoke, he reached out his hand to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi paused for a moment, but didn't shake hands. Instead, he waved behind him.

Karimdo was startled by Gu Xi's actions. He saw Gu Xi casually place a bell made of Skeleton into his hand.

Then Karimdo saw a smirk flash in Gu Xi's eyes, like a rat that had stolen oil.

At that moment, Gu Xi heard a "ding" sound in his ear.

[Ding! Long-Term Mission: The Light of the Mysterious Academy, Round 1 completed.]

[Long-Term Mission: The Light of the Mysterious Academy]

It turns out that when Gu Xi accepted Karimdo's first words and expressed his desire to become the Department Head, a Long-Term Mission had already popped up.

He has now completed the first round of the mission, and even if Karimdo changes their mind, they can't kick him out of the team.
