Karimdo understood perfectly well Gu Xi's attitude; he realized he had been tricked by Gu Xi.

However, at this moment, he also realized that although Gu Xi's level was not high, his strength was by no means weak.

At least in the current situation, Gu Xi's troops are still useful.

So if Gu Xi is willing to be a Department Head, then let's give him that position.

"It's not a good idea for us to talk here. In these mountains, I'll be constantly watched by that Naweiduo, so it's inconvenient to do anything. Let's go to the lake that I can control."

As Karimdo spoke, he opened a huge blue Teleportation Gate in front of Gu Xi.

The Teleportation Gate was enormous, large enough for Miranda to enter.

Miranda was aware of Karimdo's abilities. She glanced at Gu Xi, lowered her head, and entered the blue Teleportation Gate.

Gu Xi thought for a moment, then raised his hand and began to tidy up everything here.

After all, his troops and the City Gate were still stationed here.

If the troops fail to return to Aryadovi City after the others have gone there, things could get very bad.

It's a minor issue if he can't produce the troops; the real problem is if the troops are attacked here.

Gu Xi wasn't afraid of attacks before because he would profit no matter who attacked him.

But things are different now. Gu Xi from the Mysterious Academy also has a share, and if it gets damaged, Gu Xi will be heartbroken.

Therefore, we cannot act recklessly at this time. We must take over the space of the Mysterious Academy in an orderly manner and ensure the integrity of the space.

Gu Xi felt like he had endless worries.

I'm only level 4, not even level 5 yet.

Karimdo said he disliked the situation in the mountains, yet he had been waiting for Gu Xi.

Only after Gu Xi had finished tidying everything up did they reopen a Teleportation Gate for Gu Xi.

The moment Gu Xi stepped into the Teleportation Gate, he felt his feet loosen and he plunged headfirst into the lake.

Fortunately, Gu Xi reacted quickly and immediately released the Water Dragon Beast to drag him to the surface of the water.

However, he was completely soaked.

Lying on the Water Dragon Beast, Gu Xi noticed that Karimdo, with a smile in his eyes, was looking at him, who was soaking wet.

"Did you do this on purpose?"

Gu Xi didn't let Karimdo off the hook just because they were on the same team. Gu Xi immediately retorted.

"No, it was just an accident."

No sooner had Karimdo finished speaking than Miranda spoke up from the side.

"He's doing it on purpose. That's just his habit. It's okay. Don't be afraid of him. Just confront him directly if you have a problem."

Seeing Miranda's seemingly unconcerned attitude, Gu Xi sensed that there might be something wrong with this Mysterious Academy.

However, neither Karimdo nor Miranda offered any further details.

Karimdo simply pointed at the lake, and a crocodile, its belly up, floated to the surface.

This crocodile was as long as a Train Car, with its limbs noticeably swollen and enlarged, as if something was about to burst out from under its skin.

Stepping on the crocodile's belly, Gu Xi knew that the crocodile had been dead for many years.

Standing on the crocodile, Miranda looked equally puzzled.

"After all these years, you still haven't given up?"

"No, Sam has carried the Sword of Leadership for the Crocodile Academy for so many years. Everyone who has graduated from the Crocodile Department remembers him. Even if he dies, I will keep him here."

Gu Xi looked down and realized that this crocodile was the same one that had a Sword of Leadership stuck in its head.

However, with such a height, anyone with a bit of ability could probably come up and wield the Sword of Leadership.

While Gu Xi was still thinking about things, Miranda said, "But you won't be able to manage the Crocodile Department anymore. Do you think your Student Union will want to teach leadership skills?"

After being told that, Karimdo fell silent.

He understood that if he truly wanted to become the dean of the Mysterious Academy, there were some things he would have to give up.

"That's a matter for the future. If they don't teach leadership skills in the future, I'll just pretend I didn't see it."

Just as Gu Xi was about to interject, the two people who were about to start arguing shut up and looked in the same direction.

Gu Xi turned his head and looked over there. He found that a little old man dressed in a medieval tuxedo and Black Silk had appeared on the water.

He walked easily on the water, leaving a shadow with each step.

At first, Gu Xi didn't feel anything.

But as he got closer, Gu Xi suddenly realized that this person was not a real person. His skin, his clothes, and even everything about him were painted with oil paint.

As he approached, both Karimdo and Miranda bowed their heads to the little old man.

"Professor."

Miranda then introduced the old man in front of her to Gu Xi.

This little old man was the dean of the Mysterious Academy for the previous two terms. When Karimdo was still a student, this little old man was a professor in the Bat Department. When Lanmida entered the academy, he was the Department Head of the Bat Department.

This can be described as the standard process at the Mysterious Academy: from faculty member to professor, then to Department Head, and finally step by step to the position of dean.

So don't worry about his name, just call this senior colleague "Professor".

Of course, he is also a special case within the Mysterious Academy.

Everyone else died here because something terrible happened at the Mysterious Academy.

He was the only one who, after dying, became an oil painting and was hung in the academy. After a major incident occurred at the academy, he was affected by the Death Aura and miraculously came back to life.

After surviving, because he had previously served as the dean of the academy and thus possessed certain authority, he was able to protect a group of students.

He didn't have any ambitions before.

Now things are different. Karimdo found him, negotiated terms with him, and persuaded him to join Karimdo's forces.

Eventually, he will become the Department Head of a department, and may even use this ability to become the first Undead Dean of the new academy.

What he had to do was quite simple: the Black Robe Skeleton Naweiduo held a portion of the authority of a dean.

These were the cases that automatically fell to the other Department Head after the college dean died in battle and the Vice-Dean was involved in an accident.

The control priority is not high.

The professor's only role was to disrupt Naweiduo's control over certain areas when they attacked Naweiduo.

Once he loses his authority, everything else will be much simpler; Karimdo and Miranda can handle everything here.

Of course, they wouldn't say this out loud; they were waiting for the last person to arrive.
