"Have you really figured it out?"

After listening to Benjamin's words, the president of Ikor's royal capital couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Benjamin nodded.

This day was the day when the council was ordered to convene a supervisory meeting, but he also took this opportunity to tell the president the news of the construction of the branch school.

The establishment of a branch school in each country must have the support of the government, otherwise it will not be possible. At present, Ikor implements a political system in which the two countries are governed by turns, but in this matter, the president, as the veteran figure who adjudicates the parliament, naturally has more say.

"It's actually a good thing to have a branch school, it's just ...... I'm afraid that people in the other two countries think that you have ambitions and want to use this opportunity to develop your influence within each country. The president thought for a moment and said.

"I understand, that's why I'm the first to come to Your Excellency. ”

Benjamin certainly understands the sensitivities. The Academy of Magic does not belong to any party, and is in some ways an independent country. The fact that countries that are independent of each other have to open new schools within each other is indeed a bit delicate to the old ideas of this world.

However, with his current relationship with the leaders of the other two countries, he thinks it should not be too difficult.

"Well, I'll help you contact both of them first, and it will be simpler for me to talk about things. "You'd better be prepared, they'll definitely open their mouths when facing the mages cultivated by the branch." ”

Benjamin smiled and said, "That's nature. ”

At this moment, they have already started to recruit teachers for the branch school, but they still adopt this method recommended by acquaintances. The public also did not know that they were going to open a branch school. Only after the other two countries understand the situation can they begin to act with great fanfare.

And so, about a week later, Benjamin met again with the leaders of Fredon and Carrets for the matter.

"If you are willing to open a branch school in our country, of course we will not have any opinion. It's just that...... Which country should the mages cultivated by the branch belong to?" General Stewart asked with a frown.

"Of course, it's their country. Benjamin immediately replied, "Actually, we don't arrange for these mages to belong to them. The management of the branch school is not as strict as that of the main school, and they can continue to serve their country after graduation. ”

"But I think that with your way of education, you will dilute the national concept of the mage. The general said, "Can we ask you to include some patriotic propaganda in your teaching and make it a compulsory exam?"

“......”

Benjamin was speechless for a moment.

All right...... I didn't expect that no matter what world I went to, ideological education would become a problem that I couldn't get around.

In the end, he could only nod his head. No way, on the main campus, that's Benjamin's own territory, and he can teach whatever he wants. In other places, they can only borrow places to do business, after all, according to other people's rules.

"Since you agree, we won't have any problems!" the general let out a few laughs and said, "I look forward to your branch school training more mage talents for us." ”

Benjamin nodded helplessly.

He then turned his gaze to the king.

I don't know why, but during his negotiations with the general, the king kept silent and did not say anything. This made Benjamin feel a little strange.

"Your Majesty, what do you think ......?"

The king took a deep breath and finally spoke.

"Master Benjamin, of course I will not object to your approach. It's just that...... If I agree again, the pressure on the officials will become very great. It may be difficult for Carretus to carry this forward. ”

Benjamin was a little surprised.

He did not expect that the king would be the one who objected.

"Your Majesty, the opening of the branch is definitely a good thing for Caritus. He immediately advised, "After the baptism before the church, now the mage of Carretus is withering. A school that can produce more mages is absolutely beneficial and harmless. ”

"I understand, it's just ......," said the king, after a moment's hesitation, "you know how much domestic opposition I have suppressed in order to complete the original deal, and to give you the whole of Akademe. So right now, a lot of my ministers don't like you very much. As soon as they hear that you're going to do something, they'll just think you're plotting again. ”

Benjamin couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

So troublesome......

He also thought that the establishment of a branch campus would be a happy thing, and no one would oppose it at all. But who would have thought that the officials of Carretus had such a bad impression of him?

He still vaguely remembered how warm and friendly all the people of Glory were to him when he helped the king bring Glori back.

After thinking about it, Benjamin said, "Well, I'll go to Glory myself." Your Majesty received me in front of all the officials as if I were an emissary from the Academy of Magic. Whatever the objections, I convinced them. ”

The king was a little surprised.

Benjamin slapped the table and said without hesitation, "That's it." Your Majesty, go back first, and in a few days, the Academy of Magic will send an envoy to Glory to discuss the construction of the branch. ”

"All right......" the king cupped his forehead a little helplessly.

Although there were some surprises, the meeting ended in less than an hour, as Benjamin had expected. He asked Wallis to talk to Fredon about the "ideological education" in the school, and he prepared himself and set off for Grory.

In fact, he found that he seemed to have not paid attention to Carretus for some days.

"That...... Maybe I'm overthinking, but I think the king seems to be a little different from before. The system suddenly said in his mind.

Benjamin was in the air and was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know, I feel intuition. "That's not how the king's attitude used to be, was it?" ”

Benjamin was speechless.

It's just a system, where does it come from...... Moreover, because of the question of Ikor's belonging, his relationship with the king is indeed quite estranged, which is undeniable.

He didn't think there really was anything wrong with the king.

Is it possible for the church to make a comeback? Don't think about it, the king and the general are both people who have betrayed the church once. That's why Benjamin is so reassuring about them.
