Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 378: Shocking Changes in the Academy (3)

"If it weren't for some things that happened in the past two years, I wouldn't have such doubts." Beowulf expressed the feelings of the Elders: "The Academy is the first line of defense for slaying dragons, but dragons have repeatedly sneaked in to cause trouble."

Flamel couldn't refute it, and no one could refute it.

The academy is almost becoming a dungeon. Norton is coming, Han Qiu is coming, and Jörmungandr is coming.

Any dragon of a slightly higher quality can come and mix things up.

However, all this has a prerequisite: Lu Mingfei.

Everything happened after Lu Mingfei entered school.

In history, major events that only occur once in a long time seem to have been fast-forwarded since Lu Mingfei entered school.

"Maybe the academy is unlucky." Flamel said casually.

"Bad luck? If everything is attributed to luck, the Secret Party would not dare to claim that it has fought a war with dragons for thousands of years." Beowulf never believed in luck.

Beowulf belongs to a dragon-blood-loving family, and every member of the family has been taking dragon blood since birth.

From the moment of birth, living and dying represent strength rather than luck.

"Just tell me what you want, Beowulf." Flamel simply showed his hand: "You are the interim principal now. How do you plan to deal with these historical issues?"

"Okay, let's talk about the opinion of the Council of Elders." Beowulf did not say that this was his own opinion. "Lu Mingfei's video has been professionally analyzed and confirmed to be not a synthesis, but a real record. Now, regarding Lu Mingfei's issue, we need to investigate, and all professors and students related to Lu Mingfei must be investigated. Chu Zihang's bloodline issue needs to be re-evaluated."

Beowulf said in a low voice: "The Elders believe that the academy should be sealed off and all internal problems should be resolved before considering other things. This is a qualification certification for every student and professor, and it will take a long time."

Flamel couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and pointed at Beowulf's nose: "Beowulf, you are denying everything about Angers."

To deny the academy is to deny Angers, which founded and sustained the academy.

"The elders will think that Ange was deceived by dragons," Beowulf said, "or by half-blood traitors. Hanqiu and Jörmungandr could deceive him, so why can't other dragons deceive him? Flamel, do you know 'Summer Mourning'?"

Summer's Mourning... Flamel didn't expect Beowulf to bring up such an old account.

"What does this have to do with 'Summer's Mourning'?" Flamel asked. "Are you a member of the Lionheart? Beowulf, I advise you not to discuss everything on the table."

"We have to discuss this now." Beowulf said, "That incident seemed like a conspiracy. Someone used dragons to destroy the secret party. Since we are going to investigate, let's find out all the historical issues."

"Okay, you are courageous, worthy of being the leader of the former action team." Flamel sat down again, "But have you considered what problems will result from blocking the academy? You want to make students, professors, and even the commissioners of the executive department suspicious of each other. They are all comrades-in-arms, comrades who can stand behind you in this war against dragons. Besides, the enrollment date for this year is approaching, and the decision of the Elders Council is very stupid."

"Since this is a meeting, let's vote. Everyone, do you agree to seal off the academy and launch an internal investigation and purge?" Beowulf raised his hand first.

There were one or two old guys in the Presbyterian Church who disagreed, just one or two.

On the board of directors' side, Elizabeth did not raise her hand.

"I abstain." Pompey abstained directly.

The situation was very clear, with the number of votes in favor of closing the academy far exceeding two-thirds of the total votes.

"Well, it seems there is nothing more to say." Flamel also raised his hand, "I feel sorry for the old rogue."

"Flamel, although I hate your style and tone of speech, we are on the same page as you when it comes to Angers," said Beowulf.

"Same? You are destroying the old rogue's hard work. I have been maintaining it from the very beginning! I just can't maintain it, but I will still maintain it." Flamel said: "If I really listen to you and stay in Japan to slowly investigate the assassination, I guess when I come back, it will be questionable whether the academy still exists."

"Don't say such things, Flamel." An elder was displeased.

"You think it's nonsense then it's nonsense." Flamel sneered a few times.

Beowulf tapped the table and stared at the guys on the board of directors. "I know you young people have young ideas, otherwise you wouldn't alarm us old guys. There is a high probability that some of us old guys support your ideas, and I won't pursue these. I did not support Angers in establishing Kassel College, but since it has been established for so many years, there is no need to change it back. While Angers is in trouble, just deal with the historical problems. Even if you can't deal with it well, try to have a general idea when he wakes up."

"I thought you were going to reverse history." Flamel said unexpectedly.

"We have considered this, but the elders have discussed it internally and decided not to do it." Beowulf said: "We all know Ange's character and contributions. I just disagreed with his ideas and path at the beginning, but I would not deny his determination to slay the dragon."

Pompey pulled up his sleeves and glanced at his watch, "Elders, that's all we have to say, right? I have some business to attend to back in Italy."

Ever since the incident in Angers, Gattuso has chosen to abstain from voting and has been on the sidelines in some decisions of the school board or some decisions made after the elders' council intervened.

In the view of the school directors, this was because it was Pompey, not Frost, who was sitting there.

Pompeii's so-called business was probably not a serious matter, but most likely he was accompanying some beautiful woman.

"There is one more thing." Beowulf leaned forward, his majestic eyes swept over everyone, "If dealing with these matters has delayed this year's enrollment, then I would like to trouble you to select candidates from your family to contribute to the great cause of slaying the dragon."

The major families will fill the vacancies.

"Beowulf, you old man can do it!" Flamel slapped his thigh and laughed.

The faces of the school directors were uglier than each other, except Pompey and Elizabeth.

Politicians will not commit suicide. The main reason for supporting the establishment of the academy was that the academy model could easily gather the power of scattered mixed-bloods around the world. There was no need to rely on family alliances to fight to the death as before, wasting their own talents.

Angers also promised each family that whether or not the family members came to the academy was entirely voluntary.

Now Beowulf is planning to make it mandatory, and with a bunch of old guys sitting here making it mandatory, it's hard for the school directors to object.

After all, over the past hundred years, each family has produced very few talents for the academy, and they have transformed from a dragon-slaying family into a political family.

They are not only in the wrong in terms of morality, but also in terms of justice.

"Okay." Elizabeth said.

"I agree with Elizabeth." Pompey tilted his head and smiled at Elizabeth, with a spark of electricity in his eyes.

The other school directors nodded silently, with nothing to say.

I just hope that this matter can be resolved before the enrollment, and at worst it will only last for this year.

May Angers wake up soon, the school directors pray.
