"I wonder if I'll gain anything from this gathering," Green said softly.
School gatherings were held at regular intervals by the major Advanced Meditation Schools. They brought members of a School together to strengthen their ties and give them a chance to exchange ideas and get to know one another. A person's abilities were limited; only when sparks of wisdom struck against one another could greater progress be made.
At every gathering, the Wizards of a School shared their insights and exchanged knowledge to help themselves grow.
Because the Limit Meditation School had so few members, it held a gathering only once every hundred years. Larger Schools, which often gained new members, held one roughly every decade or so.
After all, the Extreme School might go decades without recruiting anyone. Its membership was so fixed that almost nothing changed.
Other Schools could recruit dozens of people over those same decades, so they naturally needed to gather often and let their members get to know one another.
"I'll find Mentor first. I'll need her guidance to attend a gathering like this!" With that thought, Green left the Wizard Tower and returned to the Academy through a teleportation array.
Outside Lilian's villa on the Main Campus of White House Academy!
"Mentor, I'm here!"
Green stood before Lilian and spoke quietly.
Planning to go to the gathering with his mentor, Green had come to the Main Campus to look for her as soon as he reached the Academy through the teleportation array.
He had barely arrived at Lilian's villa when he saw her standing at the door, ready to set out.
"Mm! You're just in time. It happens to be Mentor Dennis's turn to host this gathering, and the venue is an estate near the Academy! That saves us a great deal
