————————

Calimduo was instantly speechless; he clearly understood that what Gu Xi said was true.

No matter the direction of the academy, or whether the academy exists or not, as long as someone activates an admission ticket, they can enter the academy to study.

There is no need at all to consider who gave them the admission ticket, nor whether they have any grudges with the dean of the academy.

They just need to know that taking the admission ticket to enter the academy allows them to learn the corresponding knowledge, and that’s enough.

"Alright, what you say is true. If you just want to learn some basic skills, this is enough. As the dean of the department, I can issue you an admission ticket.

But don’t you think such opportunities are rare?

Do you want to try something else?"

Listening to Calimduo’s words, Gu Xi couldn’t help but laugh.

"Director Calimduo, your persuading skills aren’t strong; when you speak, I always feel like there’s an empty-handed trap."

"Well, I indeed am not good at these things."

Listening to Gu Xi’s mockery, Calimduo wasn’t angry but rather laughed instead.

"Mechanical, combat is truly my style. But this time, I really have a plan. Did you see the battle before?"

Gu Xi was slightly startled and then realized he was talking about the explosion sounds from the sky earlier.

He nodded, indicating his understanding.

"It was then that I realized so many people in the academy are eyeing the dean’s position.

So I thought, why not just give up monopolizing it, get some people together, and rebuild the academy?

For example, I can become the dean, Miranda, if you’re willing to join in now, I can arrange a vice dean plus department head position for you.

This way, it frees up three department head positions in the academy."

Calimduo spoke while looking at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was full of questions.

What does it mean by giving him a dean position in the Mysterious Academy?

What would he teach?

Soul Summoning Skill?

Is it worth it or not, on one hand, you can come back next time to learn skills, on the other hand, you become a department head of the academy.

Which will bring more benefits, Gu Xi naturally understands.

Calimduo wanted to say something more, but Gu Xi straightforwardly said: "Okay, I’m in, I want a department head position."

As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, both Calimduo and Miranda looked at Gu Xi.

The two were stunned for a moment, and then Miranda burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Calimduo, didn’t think you’d have today either."

Gu Xi felt something was off as soon as he heard this. He glanced at Miranda, "Is there a problem?"

"No, he just made the same mistake as Naviduo, he often doesn’t explain things clearly, making people guess, and when you ask for your reward, he’ll say you made it up, he never said that.

But this time, he really lost out.

He originally thought a hint would suffice, you’d agree, but didn’t expect you’d directly ask for a department head position.

I guess he originally just wanted to offer you a teaching position within the academy, possibly no higher than a professor.

Hahaha, really makes me laugh, even so, you can agree to this condition.

Without a department head position, don’t hand over the Soul-controlling Bell."

With Miranda’s words, Gu Xi realized he was overthinking it.

But this is good, after all, if he laid out the terms, whether or not he agrees is up to Calimduo.

Anyway, even if he leaves now, Gu Xi won’t lose.

At worst, give the item to Miranda before leaving and let her get him another admission ticket.

At this moment, Calimduo snapped out of his shock.

"Well, originally I was worried about a lack of personnel, now only three departments are left, I become the dean, I have to let go of one department head position.

The strongest department head can become the vice dean.

Then, only two department head positions get vacated, and luckily, I found there’s also a portrait of a former dean in the academy; he can become a department head.

Add to that a disciple of mine from before who can manage the Crocodile Department that I freed up. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Your joining gives me another chance.

Four departments are the most reasonable arrangement.

I can promise you, but you have to become the head of the Mountain Leopard Department that was taken by the former vice dean.

Everything has to be rebuilt from scratch by you."

Gu Xi had no objections to starting from scratch to build a new department.

In Gu Xi’s thinking, there is a standard procedure for these things.

However, Gu Xi now had a question.

"If I become a department head, do I always have to stay here?"

"No need, you can appoint three professors in each department to handle teaching duties, plus seven staff members to help manage students.

Finally, you can leave a portrait, so even if you’re not here, you can manage through the portrait.

So you don’t need to worry about control over the department."

"Alright then, I can become the new department head, but can I request, does it have to be called Mountain Leopard?

Anyway, the original Mountain Leopard Department is gone, can we change the name?"

"Of course, even if you didn’t say, I’d let you change the name, because when the new academy is established, all names have to be changed."

Calimduo spoke while extending his hand toward Gu Xi.

Gu Xi paused for a moment, didn’t shake hands, but waved behind him instead.

Calimduo was startled by Gu Xi’s action; he saw Gu Xi casually stuff a bell made of a skull into his hand.

Then Calimduo saw a mischievous glint in Gu Xi’s eyes, like a mouse that just found oil.

Because just then, a ’ding’ sound came by Gu Xi’s ear.

[Ding! Long-term task: The first round of the Mysterious Academy’s light completed.]

[Long-term task: The Light of the Mysterious Academy]

[First round task description: Join the team rebuilding the Mysterious Academy.]

[Task requirement: Join the team attacking the territory of the Mysterious Academy (1/1)]

[Second round task description: Defeat the villains inside the Mysterious Academy.]

[Task requirement: Defeat the internal rebels of the Mysterious Academy (0/10), rewards based on the number defeated, at least defeat one rebel.]

[Task reward: Mysterious Academy department head position.]

[Note 2: In the Mysterious Academy, sometimes authority can be higher than level.]

[Note 3: With the corresponding identity in the Mysterious Academy, you can unrestrictedly learn any knowledge you want.]

Gu Xi realized as soon as he agreed to Calimduo’s first words, proposing his desire to become a department head, a long-term task had already popped up.

Now that he has completed the first round of the mission, even if Calimduo regrets it, he can’t kick him out of the team.
