Chapter 487: Technological Fortress City Plan

Academy City was very important for Bloed's plans. It was the ideal place to accomplish his dream.

He wanted to spread the Human Confederation's technology through the entire world, and a completely neutral place focused on educating the new generation such as Academy City was perfect for it.

Moreover, he had managed to get the support of Headmistress Wave, the most important person in the city. It meant that nobody would stop or oppress him to steal his technology.

If Bloed wanted to accomplish his dream in any other place of the world, it would be much harder. Even the Beastmen Countries, who had a very good relationship with him, would give him a lot of trouble once they learn of the potential of the Human Confederation's technology.

This technology was enough to turn any country or race into the strongest power in this world. It's obvious that many people would be tempted to get it.

Therefore, he needed a power that could support him and give him unconditional protection.

And Academy City was the perfect candidate.

However, now that Bloed learned that Academy City was in a very dangerous situation, everything was different.

If Academy City could not protect itself, it would not be able to protect him either.

But Bloed did not want to give up so easily.

Thus, he decided to make a proposal to Headmistress Wave.

Instead of telling Wave his proposal immediately, Bloed grabbed a pen and paper and started to draw and write on it.

He worked on it for almost one hour, making Wave become curious, but when she was becoming unable to contain his curiosity, Bloed finished.

"It's done." He said and passed what he wrote to the Headmistress.

"[Technological Fortress City Plan]. What is it?" The headmistress started to read the paper curiously.

At the start, her expression was just curious, but slowly, her eyes started to narrow, until finally, her gaze was filled with shock.

"T-This This is possible!?"

"If you supply me with everything I need, it should be."

"But No, it should be possible But if we do this, we will have to invest a lot of money Mm, money should not be a problem. I have earned a lot since I founded Academy City What about the workforce? A work of this level will need a lot of people."

"I will manufacture a batch of robots that will take care of it. You remember how the headquarters of my club was built, right?"

"Yeah, that is a good method. Even so, a work of this level will not go unnoticed. If anyone learns about it"

"We will disguise it with other projects. I have a few that we can implement in the city, like a subway, a complete security system, and the implementation of an aqueduct." Bloed then explained these concepts to the Headmistress.

The longer the headmistress listened to him, the brighter her eyes became. By the end of Bloed's words, she seemed like she wanted to hug him and kiss his cheeks.

" How long do you think we need to implement this plan?"

"If I have your complete support and enough resources, one year. Perhaps even less."

Wave nodded and started to walk back and forth around the place with a pensive expression.

Bloed did not interrupt her. He knew how crazy his idea was. Anyone who did not know about technology would consider it the ravings of a lunatic.

However, Bloed and Wave had been sharing knowledge for a while now. Wave had been teaching Bloed about runes and magic, and Bloed had been teaching her about technology.

Thus, Headmistress Wave knew that Bloed's plan was feasible.

Moreover

'At this rate, I will be unable to stop Academy City from perishing. This is a big gamble, but if I succeed, nobody will be able to threaten Academy City again.'

Slowly, Wave's eyes became firm.

Finally, she looked at Bloed with a determined expression.

"Let's do it."

Bloed grinned.

"I'm sure a lot of people will be surprised when they see the new Academy City."

Headmistress Wave grinned as well.

After that, the dragon headmistress and the blue-haired boy discussed the details of the plan for a few hours. As their discussion advanced, their plan became more and more perfect, and it seemed more and more feasible.

When they finished their plan, Headmistress Wave could not hide her excitement anymore.

But all of sudden, she frowned.

"There is a problem. You will need a lot of resources for this plan, and these resources are not easy to get."

Bloed was startled. "You should have the means to get them, right?"

"I do. But what do you think the other powers will think if I start to buy iron, copper, silver, gold, and other metals and minerals in great amounts? They will become suspicious and start to investigate. And once they start to investigate, they will eventually find something."

Bloed's furrowed his brows deep in thought.

But then, Headmistress Wave suddenly started to walk back and forth again. She seemed to be considering the feasibility of an idea. Finally, she looked at Bloed with a solemn expression.

"I need four months. No, three months. I will get everything we need in three months."

"Three months, huh. Okay, I have a good amount of materials, so I can use these three months to build the first one hundred robots to start the project. Yes, there is another thing that I need to resolve during that time. Teacher, I will need your help with that."

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Do you know why the Church of Slaughter appeared during the attack of Returning Dusk?"

Headmistress Wave was startled before putting on a serious expression.

"Do you know the reason? Wait a moment, is it about your friend that was being chased by the Church of Slaughter?"

Bloed nodded with a complicated expression.

The headmistress narrowed her eyes. " You are hiding something from me. The church of slaughter will not go to such lengths just for an elf princess."

"Well, she is guarding a very precious object."

"Oh? What is it?"

Bloed stared at Headmistress Wave with a serious expression.

"A Heart of the Forest."

The eyes of Headmistress Wave opened wide.
