Chapter 197 The Dean Who Is Not the Dean

From the first day of its creation, the Roland Empire's Academy of Magic has undertaken an important historical mission: to break the monopoly of the Magic Guild on the entire Empire's magical civilization.

It's a millennia monopoly!

For this world, magic is the most amazing thing in this world. Magicians are a transcendent class of human beings.

Magicians possess abilities far beyond the average human level, and this ability is enough to exert a huge influence on the ruling class.

For any country with a healthy and mature system, it must not tolerate the existence of such an uncontrolled force.

Therefore, how to control the power of magic in the hands of the state has become the most troublesome problem for the rulers of the past dynasties.

But for the royal family of the Roland Empire, their biggest problem is that there is too much energy involved.

Also not under the control of the royal family, the problems of the church are much stricter than those of the Magic Guild. The battle with the church occupies most of the royal family's energy, so the royal family has never had the energy to deal with the magic union.

In many cases, the royal family still needs to win over the forces of the Magic Guild in order to fight against the Temple of Light.

However, for the Roland Empire, the greatest luck lies in the one who was born a hundred years ago.

Legends like the first Duke Tulip rose like comets in that era.

He single-handedly took control of the empire and fought against foreign enemies.

In the time of the first Duke Tulip, he did several things that successive Roland emperors had not been able to do: he weakened the divine power and suppressed the power of the church. will once be able to compete with the imperial royal family, and suppress it step by step. Then at the same time he founded the Imperial Academy of Magic, the Imperial Academy of Magic, using both organizations. Broke the monopoly of the Magic Guild on the magical world of the Empire.

In particular, the Imperial Academy of Magic broke the monopoly of the Magic Guild on the cultivation and inheritance of magicians. So that the empire can train mages in a way that schools cultivate on a large scale.

Over the course of more than a hundred years, the Empire's Academy of Magic has grown into a place of great importance to the entire Empire.

Once upon a time, the president of the Magical Guild. He is undoubtedly the first person in the field of magic in this world. The status of the president of the Magic Guild is equivalent to the pope in the religious field.

And after the establishment of the Imperial Academy of Magic. The position of the dean of the Academy of Magic will obviously be very important.

In fact, the position of the president of the Empire's Academy of Magic has always been held by the Emperor of the Empire.

This is a place where you can produce a lot of talent. If anyone were to be appointed as the dean, they would have to face a difficult question to jump over in the future: would they create an organization like the Magical Guild that was not controlled by the royal family?

You know, no matter who is the dean, in a few years, many of the young magicians will come from his disciples and regard him as the master...... So how high will this man's prestige among magicians be?

The Imperial Royalty would not want to produce another "President of the Magical Guild".

So. The position of dean of the Imperial Academy of Magic has always been held by the Emperor himself. No matter how busy the emperor is, he often finds time to sit in the magic academy or show his face, and feel like a zài. Gather people's hearts.

In this way, the students in the Imperial Academy of Magic, nominally, are all disciples of the Imperial Emperor. In this way, the hidden danger of making the school leader sit on the throne is avoided.

However, the Emperor of the Empire is an Emperor after all, and not every Emperor has a talent for magic.

Then this dean concurrently served by the emperor is more of a nominal meaning. Therefore, in the Academy of Magic, there will always be some real insiders who will be in charge of management.

However, at the beginning of its establishment, Duke Tulip had already made a perfect plan: if he directly appointed a vice president to manage the academy in the emperor's absence, wouldn't this vice president become the supreme leader of the academy over time?

Therefore, the Imperial Academy of Magic has always adopted a separate system.

The vast Imperial Academy of Magic is divided into several branches, each of which has its own branch director. The authority of the branch dean is limited to his own branch, and no branch dean can interfere in the affairs of other branches except for the emperor himself.

Moreover, in order to avoid the dean of the branch managing a branch for a long time, it will eventually become a situation where the tail is too big to fall. The Academy of Magic has also established a rotation system.

The president of each branch shall move from place to place for a maximum of five years in his or her branch. Never let a branch dean control a branch dean in a certain time and finally turn the branch into his own garden.

The Imperial Academy has also established a joint system, with the deans and vice-deans of each branch, as well as some veterans in the academy, forming the Senate of the Academy of Magic, which jointly manages the daily work of the Academy of Magic.

However...... There are exceptions to everything!

No matter how perfect the rules were when the academy was created.

However, humans have always been the best at finding loopholes in the rules, or rather, ...... Create a zào loophole!

The Imperial Academy of Magic has no dean in the true sense of the word, only a nominal dean: His Majesty the Imperial Emperor.

However, in the Imperial Academy of Magic, there has always been an unwritten unspoken rule: in the academy, there will always be a "dean who is not the dean".

And such a character, without a doubt, is extremely special!

......

The Imperial Academy of Magic has several branches.

Obviously, when he founded the Academy of Magic, Du Wei used the model of a real-world university.

Among the several branches of the Imperial Academy of Magic, some are the sphere of influence of the Magic Union, some are from the background of the emperor, and some are supported by the imperial family.

However, the most special, recognized as the best, the most comprehensive, the most influential, and the most representative branch of the Imperial Academy of Magic, is......

"Hogwarts?"

When Chen Daolin heard the name. His eyes widened.

Obviously, there is no need to ask, this "Hogwarts" branch must be a good thing done by the original Tulip Duke Du Wei!

And only this former traverser. will come up with such an angry name.

......

Hogwarts Branches. It is recognized as the first branch of the Imperial Academy of Magic, and its status is higher than all other branches. For a hundred years, it has always been ranked first in the academy!

Because Hogwarts Sorting has an incomparably glorious tradition: its first Dean was the great first Duke of Tulip, Lord Dewey!

The Hogwarts Sorting House has produced some of the Empire's best heroes. Especially during the decades of war with the aliens, almost all the magicians who were recorded in history or praised by the people were named and surnamed. Almost all of them came from the Hogwarts branch of the Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

Among them, there are nine high-level mages, twenty-seven middle-level mages, and as many as twenty-six people who have received the Empire's Outstanding Contribution Medal!

That's a bit higher than all the other branches combined!

With this incomparably great first Dean and so many star-studded predecessors, Hogwarts has become the holy place and the highest temple in the hearts of all those who yearn for the wizarding world in the entire Roland Empire!

In the hearts of countless admirers of the first Duke Tulip. It's even higher than the Magic Guild!

Every year, the young geniuses who enter the Academy of Magic, these future wizards, have the biggest dream in their hearts to be selected for the Hogwarts Branches!

Then, follow in the glorious footsteps of our predecessors. Walk out of your own Cotai Strip.

And in the Academy of Magic, the people who can serve as the head of the Hogwarts branch are definitely the most amazing people. It is also recognized by all the teachers and students in the Academy of Magic: the first person in the Academy of Magic!

Although not the nominal leader, the Head of Hogwarts Sorting has access to many "privileges" in the Imperial Academy of Magic.

For example, in the Joint Presbyterian Church, the Head of Hogwarts Sorting will always have the first seat on the left, and will always have the most support, and the proposal is almost never dismissed.

Moreover, all other Presbyterians will default to the "half-salute" to the Hogwarts Sorting Abbot.

The so-called half-salute means that you will default to your status half a level lower than the other party, and use this as a standard to salute the other party.

Such a prominent and important position is certainly not something that anyone can hold.

In order to be eligible for the position of Head of Hogwarts Branches, it is natural to have enough personal strength first, which goes without saying.

Secondly, in the Imperial Academy of Magic, it is natural to have enough deep qualifications.

However, these are not the most important critical conditions.

Everyone knows that the most important hurdle to take on the position of Head of Hogwarts Branch is ......

With the support of the Tulip family!

Yes!

In fact, on the question of the selection of the head of the Hogwarts Branch, the nod of the Tulip family is far more important than the emperor's will! No matter how strong the candidate's personal strength is, how extensive his connections are, and how deep his qualifications are.

If the Tulip family sees that you are unhappy and disagrees, you can directly veto this candidate!

No one has ever criticized or questioned this.

In fact, almost everyone thinks so: this Hogwarts Branch should be the Tulip family's sphere of influence!

Even the royal family acquiesced to this.

Therefore, successive Hogwarts Sorting Masters are considered to be descendants and staunch supporters of the Tulip family.

Especially the current Head of Hogwarts Branches: Lady Surie Carmen!

This lady Carmen has always been recognized as a staunch supporter of the Tulip family.

She graduated from the Imperial Academy of Magic when she was younger, the Hogwarts Branch!

And during her study at the Hogwarts Branch, the head of the Hogwarts Branch at that time was the grandfather of Miss Du Weiwei, the current Duke of the Tulip family!!

Moreover, there was also an academy at the same time as her - the heir of the Tulip family at that time, the father of Miss Du Weiwei!

And then...... What may be delightful to many gossip lovers is that in her youth, this Ms. Carmen and her prominent classmate, Du Weiwei's father, sparked a certain spark.

Yes, this Ms. Carmen was once the lover of Du Weiwei's father.

This level of relationship is known to almost everyone in the imperial capital.

The two even almost talked about marriage at one point.

As for why they didn't come together in the end, no one knows why.

But everyone is well aware of the fact that Du Weiwei's father still maintained a very friendly and intimate relationship with this lady Carmen after he got married, and the two were close and good friends - of course, whether this good friend should be put in double quotation marks or not, only the person concerned knows!

And that's not even the most exciting thing!

The best part is that a few years ago, this lady Carmen disappeared from public view for a while, but when she reappeared and returned to the Imperial Academy of Magic as a teacher, she was surrounded by one more person!

She has a son: Shawdel!

No one knows who Shorel's father is, all that is that this lady Carmen never married. And apart from Du Weiwei's father, I have never heard of her having intimate relationships with any other person of the opposite sex.

This is easy to understand: after a woman once fell in love with a strange man like Duke Tulip, I am afraid that it will be difficult for ordinary men to enter her eyes.

In this way, Carmen became an unmarried mother and took her son to the Academy of Magic, starting as an ordinary Potions teacher.

She has always maintained a close relationship with the Tulip family, especially Du Weiwei's father!

Finally, also with the support of the Tulip family, Lady Carmen became the Head of Hogwarts after ten years at the Academy of Magic!

This candidate is approved by the Tulip family!

And most importantly...... Just after Carmen assumed the position of Head of Hogwarts Branches, a very, very special rumor began to spread among the nobility of the Empire and in the realm of magic!

It's about Carmen's son of unknown origin, Shawdel.

Ms. Carmen never married, and the only man in her record who ever had a relationship with her was Duke Tulip......

Moreover, some old people in the magic academy will occasionally accidentally reveal such a meaning after dinner:

This young man named Shawdel seems to look very similar in appearance...... The Duke of his youth.

The most important thing is that this Xiao Deer gave birth to a standard tulip family-style ...... Redhead!!
