Finally, after a three-hour stalemate, the mage assembly ended. Hansen and the other "shadow" mages were desperate, so they could only follow the people of the Mage Guild.

They will be greeted by a terrible judgment.

The laws of this world are not perfect, but if the public agrees, even if there is no conclusive evidence, a verdict can be issued. And Benjamin also provided a lot of information and drafts for their research, so the convincing power was naturally superior.

The ruling did not take much time. Three days later, the general, in place of the princess, announced the result. The Rune Meditation Method belongs to the Academy of Magic, and the behavior of the "Shadow" mage organization is very shameful, and it is necessary to compensate the Academy for 100,000 gold coins.

- Even if it is placed here, 200,000 is indeed a bit fantastical.

Benjamin is still acceptable to this result. Anyway, it's a sum that the other party can't afford at all, and Hansen has to spend his whole life paying off his debts.

"You'd better not have the intention of running away. Even if you escape to the kingdom of Horry, believe it or not, I can find you?" said Benjamin to Hansen with a smile on the day the verdict was handed down.

Hansen didn't say anything, his desperate expression looking a little numb.

Early the next morning, his body was found hanging from the organization's stronghold.

Faced with a hopeless and ruined life, the leader of this mage organization chose to commit suicide. Soon, the matter reached Benjamin's ears, and it also announced the official end of the whole plagiarism incident.

The entire "Shadow" ran out of people overnight, the vast mage organization collapsed, and all of its property was owned by the Academy of Magic. In this way, the world's impression of the Academy of Magic has added the word "not easy to mess with".

"Master Hansen is really stupid, it's not good to provoke anyone, why do you have to provoke the Academy of Magic?"

A mage who knew him sighed.

However, most of the mages who didn't know him didn't even care about the whole thing.

"What do you care about him? Why don't you go and inquire about the Rune Meditation Method! Have you grabbed the brochure that they sent out at the admissions office? It is said that if you use that method to meditate, you will be stronger than before, I don't know how many times stronger!"

"I didn't grab it, but I heard that this law is still in the experimental stage, and only mages who have officially entered the academy can learn it. The brochure is just for publicity, and you can't learn it if you grab it. ”

"That's ......"

With a series of hype events arranged by Hansen, coupled with the fame and influence of the Academy of Magic, at this moment, every mage in every country and region is talking about the Rune Meditation Method. However, Benjamin has not yet made the law completely public, but it is not as strictly secret as before, and only a very small range of people are circulating on his own.

It's not good to have a monopoly on this meditation method, but Benjamin only intends to use it as a gimmick for this admissions. When a new batch of students enroll, they will officially sell this law in various places, and the price will not be too high, which can be regarded as accumulating some more reputation and character for the magic academy.

He knows very well that the news is known to people all over the world, and it is impossible to hide it.

They still have to keep busy with admissions.

"There are more people who have signed up this time than last time, and the enthusiasm of the masses is very terrible, and our original enrollment points have begun to be a little insufficient. Wallis reported, "Also, there are a lot of potential seedlings who have passed the test, shouldn't we start planning to expand the recruitment?"

"There can be a few more enrollment points, hire some outside mercenaries, anyway, it's just a matter of registering and collecting money, and it doesn't hurt to invite someone to do it. Benjamin thought for a moment and said, "But ...... We can't expand. ”

In the current college, the number of teachers is not very sufficient, just like last year, recruiting a group of new students is a bit tight, what is the talk of expanding enrollment?

Older students in their second year can be teaching assistants, but they certainly can't all be counted on them.

Wallis apparently understood Benjamin's concerns, too.

He nodded, and then suggested, "In that case, we might as well ...... Even if the salary level is even, I believe that there will be a large group of mages who want to enter our academy. ”

Benjamin still shook his head.

"How can a teacher recruit at will?" he said without hesitation, "Regarding magic, the mages in the academy and the mages outside the academy are completely two cognitions, and they have to be re-cultivated after entering. They may have been very powerful, but in terms of thinking, these people may not even be as good as our students. ”

Regarding the recruitment of teachers in the future, he also hopes that some students will choose to stay in school after graduation and train them to become new teachers, which will definitely be much more convenient.

"Yes...... Now that the response from the mages in the outside world is so high, it would be a bit too wasteful not to do something. Wallis shook his head, and said with the eyes of a businessman.

Benjamin couldn't help but touch his chin.

He didn't want to lower the average teaching quality of the college, but he still wanted to take a more refined route. But...... Indeed, if you do this, the number of people you can cultivate is too small, and it is easy to cause dissatisfaction from the outside world.

- He didn't want the Academy of Magic to become an unattainable thing in the hearts of most mages in the future.

After thinking about it, Benjamin suddenly spoke: "In that case, then we can build a branch school." ”

"Branch?"

"That's right, we've made a start, why can't we take the second place?" Benjamin nodded, "Since the enthusiasm of the outside world is very high now, we can completely get some branches, and the enrollment restrictions are not so much, and the quality of teaching does not need to be maintained very high, but in order to slowly popularize the idea of studying magic in the academy." ”

"But...... I'm afraid it's not so easy to build another branch school, right?"

Benjamin slapped the table and said, "Didn't we just take over all the properties of the 'Shadows'? they have made a lot of preparations to build the school before, we can use them, anyway, the branch school really doesn't have to be as high as the main school." ”

"In that case...... There are still a few months to go before the start of the new school year, and maybe it really can. ”

Eventually, Wallis thought for a moment and answered in the affirmative.

Benjamin also looked a little excited.

It's time for them to take a new step!

And just like that, a new direction was set. It just so happened that their enrollment this time started a little too early due to various accidents, so they had more time to prepare for this new goal.

As for how to build a branch school, Benjamin held many meetings and discussed with the mages of the academy, and finally came up with such a system.

The number of students enrolled in the branch school is five times that of the main school, and the cost of admission has dropped significantly. The classes in the branch are loosely arranged and staggered from each other, and the requirements for the venue and teachers will not be so large. The branch does not require the main school, and it is easy to pass the exams when you come to attend classes on weekdays...... And more importantly, they can hire an external mage as a teacher in the branch.

- Anyway, most of the students who enter the branch school just hope to learn the rules of rune meditation. They just teach the rules and then attach some other lessons.

Eventually, Benjamin decided to establish a separate branch in each country.
