Three days after the meeting ended, Avery Knight left Noren Academy No. 147.
There was no grand farewell ceremony. For a Level 7 Wizard, leaving an academy was merely an ordinary departure in a long life.
As for Benjamin, he went to do something else first.
Pay compensation.
At the Academy's teleportation square.
Several Alchemical Wizards responsible for maintaining the teleportation array stood around the dismantled large-scale array. As they recorded data, they secretly glanced at Benjamin standing nearby.

The maintenance staff froze. "Upgrade?"
Benjamin pointed at the center of the teleportation array.
"The carrying capacity of an ordinary Academy teleportation array is too low. When you repair it, convert it into an engineering-grade teleportation array."
"It'll make large-scale transport and wartime supply dispatch much more convenient in the future."

Several days later, the new teleportation array was put into operation.
Its overall structure was a full circle thicker than before, its rune density had increased severalfold, and its energy circuits had all been replaced with large-scale engineering specifications. Quite a few Academy instructors could not help stopping to take a few
