A few days later.
JARVIS compiled a list of promising students.
It contained over a hundred thousand names. The youngest was only eight, and the oldest was forty-five.
They were all decent, intelligent, and brave.
Old Wang planned to divide the first intake into children's and adult classes.
With Tony's money behind him, he had already secured every teaching qualification he needed in Nepal.
The children's program would last six years.
On graduating, students would receive a diploma equivalent to elementary, middle, or high school, depending on their age.
Kamar-Taj would then offer them the choice of further study or employment.
"Employment" naturally meant guarding a Temple or being stationed somewhere to deal with incursions by creatures from Hell.
The adult program, meanwhile, would last only four years. Its graduates would receive university diplomas.
After graduation, they too would be offered "employment."
Of course, students could choose not to work for Kamar-Taj and return to ordinary life.
But restrictions would be placed on their use of magic.
The difference between the two programs was simple.
The children's program focused on building a foundation, while the adult program leaned toward intensive training and practical combat.
Once the entire first intake had graduated,
the academy would stop admitting adults.
From then on, each intake would consist solely of twelve-year-old boys and girls, whose training would begin in middle school.
As for the academy's name,
they eventually settled on Sorcerer Supreme Academy.
The teaching licenses Old Wang had obtained, however, bore the names Kamar-Taj Middle School and Kamar-Taj University.
Together, they sounded like a chain of religious schools.
But the Avengers would endorse Kamar-Taj University.
In time, its diplomas would be recognized in countries around the world.
