Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 2187  Academy Wager

Christos could only sit back and calculate the faith that was lost in the Olympian gods.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of dread because of this. It is not like this didn't happen before. When the gods are fighting in the celestial realms, it is very common to send their followers on the far to erase their faith.

However, whenever something like this happens, the faith of the other party will replace the faith of the eliminated.

And when something happens on this scale, there would be a mission to the academy realm to reclaim and reignite the faith.

Christos has read about these kinds of incidents and some seniors in the family participated in those missions. Some of them worked for Zeus to reclaim the lost territory and reestablish the faith.

Right now, the cleansing is happening in such a large scale, but there is no information. There is one more thing that he noticed from there. The organization that is responsible for most of the cleansing, the traces that were common in every area that the Olympians lost.

The Dusk.

Went looking for Sam, now he came across Dusk. In his opinion, both are not related, so now he is in a tight spot whether to get involved in this, or to keep his focus on Sam.

At the end of the day, his own motives won over. Usually, it is an unspoken rule that the people of higher realms like them are not to involve themselves in the lower realms. So, unless Zeus publishes a mission himself, there is no point in thinking about this.

If only he has become a bit nosier and went there to search a bit deeper, things would have turned out much better to him. He would have really found a good clue or two about Sam.

Christos kept on looking.

While Christos' search yielded nothing, Bloody Chariot's search yielded him frustration and endless blockers.

No matter how much he tried, he couldn't find Heron.

The guy that just lazed around in the inn for so long just had to disapper when Bloody Chariot actually needed him.

So, he took a drastic step and decided to go to the big man to answer these questions. After so many years, Bloody Chariot did something that he didn't even do when he was on verge of death.

Prayer.

He went to the temple of Zeus and performed the ritual to summon the projection of the god.

Within a few seconds, the statue started glowing.

[Why have you summoned me?]

Zeus' voice could be heard from the statue. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hello, Lord Zeus. It has been a while. When was the last time that we talked?"

[In the Battlefield of Gods. In your last war. When I was pleased by your service and gave you a boon. You wished for the position in the Zeus academy to live the life of a recluse."

"I am really honored. To think even the great Zeus will remember the meeting with a lowly human. I must be very special."

[Special Indeed. Why did you call me?]

"I am at a roadblock and I need your help. I hope you can point me in the right direction here."

[What would that problem be?]

"A young man named Sam. Even though the Dean has authority to issue the Academy tower tokens, essentially the academy belongs to the god, which means you. So, I am sure you are informed of the reasons why he was given a token.

Can you tell me why?"

[Only the Dean has the right to know.] Zeus answered nonchalantly.

"You are saying the same thing? You don't have to tell me anything. Just give me a direction and I will take care of the rest."

[No, I can't do that. Only the Dean has the right to know. That is all I can tell you.]

With that Zeus went back.

Bloody Chariot slumped in his chair and sighed. The same answer as Olaf. A bit different when put to words. But still…

'Only the Dean has the right to know.'

At that moment to hinder his already suffering thought process his attendant came with the news.

"Sir, Gungnir has come again and this time he came with a bunch of students from all grades. He is here for an Academy Wager."

"Wager?" Bloody Chariot was dumbfounded.

An academy wager. It has been ages since he last heard of it. That is because he lived as a fucking recluse for so many years.

The academy wager is actually pretty standard thing. Whenever there are some conflicts between the academies, or if one academy desires the property of another academy, instead of going to the war, they can go to the wager.

It is very similar to the trial by combat conducted in the court of the academy realm.

Both parties come together and select a method of competition. Both sides stake something and their representatives duke it out.

This minimizes the casualties between both sides and they don't have to be wary that some other third party will come in fish in the muddied waters.

So, it is a much more preferrable option.

Bloody Chariot didn't hear about it because he is not participating in the academy activities. He went to meet Gungnir.

"What is this Gungnir?" He asked directly. Gungnir noticed that the smile on Bloody Chariot's face is not as calm as before. It looked a lot forced at the moment.

"You came to our academy and tried to mess with our Dean when you already owe us an explanation and compensation for letting your academy members attack us for conducting our duties.

We preferred an academy war, but our Dean advised us to take care of this in a much more tame way.

So, we are going to go through this academy war.

Students from all four grades. There will be five team combats.

The first graders will participate in two, while the remaining three grades will participate in one each. The first side to win three combats will win."

"Oh? Then what do you want to stake for this? What do you want from the Zeus academy?"

"Legacy inheritances. Two of them."

Bloody Chariot narrowed his eyes.

"I am sorry. The legacy inheritances are the private property of the students. They will not give up."

"I don't care. It doesn't stipulate in the rules that we cannot demand a student's property. Anyway, it is not like you come to the rescue if we attack the student and forcefully take away the inheritance from him.

And that student is a special hire from your academy and the team was formed with the backing of your academy. The inheritance was obtained through the hardwork of that team. I am sure, you can take the authority to approve this."

Bloody Chariot looked at him and asked.

"Do you want me to do such a shameless thing?"

Gungnir didn't reply. Just silently showed his agreement.

"What if I don't agree?"

"We can go to the academy war. Even if you threaten by saying that you want to escalate it to instructor and elder level, are you sure you can back those words? More than eighty percent of your elders are in the middle of the twelve labors.

The other Olympian academies are deliberately making things difficult for them by giving them difficult tasks almost making them risk their lives.

Your first grade is almost destroyed and is on a steady path of destruction.

Your students are also knee deep in debt. Of course, our situation is also perilous, however compared to yours, we are in a much better shape. Also, we are not surrounded by the snakes ready to destroy us.

You also know that we are not the only academy willing to go to war with you. There are two more. If you really want to go, then let's go."

Gungnir said calmly. Right now, he is determined. He will not bow down to Bloody Chariot in front of such a wonderful opportunity.

Bloody Chariot sighed.

Indeed, whatever Gungnir said is true and he didn't really have much of a choice.

 "Alright, alright. Let's do this. Just talk to the student council. But don't forget that you have to put an equivalent collateral for this."

"We came prepared."

That went like that.

After some vicious negotiation, they agreed on the terms. Dayus of course was infuriated when he heard that the hard-earned legacy inheritances are at the risk of going away.

So, he stepped forward to fight in the Team fight himself. However to his surprise, Donner has come forward from the Thor academy to fight from their side.

When Sam got the news he became so excited that he went to be a spectator.

He also told Stone to observe the fights because White is also participating in the second team battle of the first grade.

Since, the time for Stone to challenge them is coming soon, they figured this would be the perfect time for Stone to understand them a bit more.
