Sam didn't bother to look at the rest of the nobles.

Today, he has two reasons to invite them all over, one of them is, of course, to announce the opening of the school and the other thing is to warn them.

Soon, the situation in the western continent will change, he has at most a year and a half before the major associations and possibly the whole six major powers. And this is a conservative estimate.

If they could find Sam's next course of action then they would come and make a move earlier.

No matter when that attack happened, Sam is not worried about taking them head-on. He has many ways to survive. If push comes to shove, all he has to do is escape and start it all over again. He might not be able to make another business of this scale on the planet.

But he can still make do with it. He has loads of money at this moment, he doesn't need to do anything. At this point, the organization and institute are for developing his own force.

The main problem during the collision of the major powers and he would be the nobility of the empire.

These politicians of the nation are so much involved in themselves and they are extremely self-centered. If the time comes, they would completely disregard Arc's existence and would voluntarily become the dogs of the major powers.

It would be troublesome for him to deal with them at that time. So, what he has to do make sure he either wiped them out before the war, or he should put them in their place so that they wouldn't have any thoughts.

And today, he used Arc's prestige as a stage to finish this first step in the process.

With Sam's speech, there is no denial that he is extremely disrespectful towards the Emperor.

Even his actions are so. He didn't bow to the emperor; he didn't even personally receive him. He just came and treated the emperor the same as any other audience.

Many of the noble families are thinking that the emperor is showing favoritism towards Sam and are ecstatic when he did all this, but only by the end of the speech did they realize what is happening.

Arc himself seemed to be treating Sam as an equal. There is not a single hint of anger on his face. They don't know what to do anymore.

After everyone left, the new teachers of the school started organizing the rest of the structure.

The first they did is make arrangements for the admissions. Sam didn't place many restrictions on the school. Students get admitted every year and once a year there would be large recruitment.

As for the assignment of classes, the students who are touring the whole school saw a place which could help them with that.

This place is the class registration area.

Here every student should register for the classes they wanted to attend.

Every candidate was given a metallic card which was engraved with some runes and on one side there is Sam's signature symbol.

The other side has his name and picture. There is some space under this name and signature.

This is the identity card and it has many other uses.

The main purpose of the identity card is credits.

The credits are the school's currency. It is just like spirit stones, but they are actually a lot more valuable.

A fixed amount of credits will be given to the students and lecturers every month. They have to use these credits to enroll in the required classes. Apart from that, if they are enrolled in a specific course, like formation master or inscription master, there are some fixed classes they have to attend and their freedom to select other classes would be limited by number.

After all, they would have to finish their own course before trying to learn more than what they need.

As for how they would enroll in classes, it is simple.

There are various subscription levels for every class. They could subscribe for the whole course if they want to, or they could just attend the course for a month and decide for themselves to attend the next month and pay for it if they want to.

They can even pay only for a single class and attend that day if all they want is to learn that specific thing in that course.

Of course, the places are limited.

As for how they could get credits, they can take the occasional exams that are held in the courses they enrolled in and get the credits from the teachers, take the missions assigned by the school, work part-time in Sam's city or exchange the external resources such as beasts, meat, herbs, metals, etc.

But only raw resources are accepted.

As for the teachers, their credits will be depending on the performance of their students and the number of students that actually attend their class and course.

The credits that teachers give out to students are not taken out of the teacher's personal account.

Sam carefully planned everything.

After the announcement that Sam made, the whole western continent is in turmoil. There is no way people would stay calm. The biggest academic institution of the whole western continent was created.

There is no way they would be able to sit still.

The most shocking news for some of the higher-ups is some children from the imperial family are coming to join the school and the Emperor himself approved of this.

The Imperial family is huge, the emperor only has one son and he is in the thunder god temple at this moment, but his brothers and sisters have a lot of children altogether.

And when all of them are sent to the school, the ministers and the nobility followed suit. It is almost as if the whole thing that happened between Sam and them has never happened at all.

They don't want to lose the opportunity for their offspring to maintain a good relationship with the offspring of the imperial family.

Sam figured out that for the next few days he would be busy along with the rest of the staff.

There is no way he could escape this time.

But at this moment, the next day of the ceremony, Sam has received an unexpected visitor.

Zeke, the person from the Space-gate association.

He didn't expect that he would pay a visit out of nowhere.

"Sam, we would like to integrate ourselves with the school program. It is aligned with most of our principles and the Space gate association would like to be a part of this great endeavor."

Sam was surprised by this.

He knew that the Space gate association wanted a more friendly relationship with him. Even though they might have offended the major powers when they created the Space gates for them, they do have a chance to escape the blame at this moment in their current situation.

Because, Sam has many things on him that don't match the norms, so this new type of Space gate would naturally be accounted to one of his miracles.

The Space gate association could even just extricate themselves from this. But if they really join the school, there is no turning back.

Sam didn't outrightly say his decision but asked.

"Your kids join the major powers after they awakened right? The six major powers will recruit them depending on their elements and spiritual cores. Why do you want to join the school then?"

"The major powers would only take notice of the awakened people in the organization and even their main target are a specific set of people.

The six major powers arrange marriages to the most talented of the space gate association with their own members, they would have no choice at this. They would be monitored any offspring that was born to those couples are taken to their respective major powers.

The rest of the offspring are left for the Space gate association. They wouldn't care for them if they don't have a Space element or if they are exceptionally talented. That too only after they are awakened. Until then, they wouldn't even care how many offspring we have.

They don't want to groom the direct descendants of the Space gate association. They are afraid of revenge. So, even if they talented, they would just let that talent rot in the association."

Zeke's voice contained hints of helplessness and anger.

The situation couldn't be changed that easily after all.

"But you couldn't send the awakened here right? It would be easily recognizable."

"No, we are not in need of sending the awakened. We will be sending the kids who are six to ten years old.

And even then, we are not sending all of them. We will be sending only select few. After they enter the school, we are confident even if they are Space element users, they can have the freedom we don't. We will only select a few members secretly. Only the head and me will know anything related to this.

For this help, we will also send some experts who are well versed in Space element to the school. Even though, there are currently none of them, we can always hope for the future."

Sam thought for a moment and extended his hand for a shake.

"Deal."
