They both had much to do and think about regarding what they knew, but they were sure that the Low Deal should be eliminated.
Some things smelled fishy in all this, and they couldn't figure out what they were. Understanding that was paramount.
'Low Deal is not as powerful an organization as I originally thought. The most powerful is still the Founder and that guy doesn't tend to watch the organization too much, based on research. That being the case, if I talk to the Great Summoner about it, I might be able to get out of the Academy without him noticing.'
'I'm sure I can eliminate that organization without that guy's presence because, according to sources, the construction where they are is a bit small; it doesn't cover too much. I should be able to cover everything with that domain-type ability, and in such a situation, there is no way they can do anything. Even without the domain, I shouldn't have any problems with my current abilities.'
Matt was looking out the room's window, considering several things. There was a lot to do, but he was planning to leave the Empire before too long.
The information he had so far had allowed him to draw a starting line along which he could get to the other side.
Although he is actually very curious about that Charlotte he heard from the rumors. Still, if he finds a way to leave this dangerous place, he will take it and leave the Charlotte issue to look for her in the future.
He can't run around in such a dangerous place all the time. Although he wants to find Charlotte, these past few months have taught him to be patient. Perhaps he and Charlotte would not have died if he had been patient on earth. But death can teach him many things, and even more so when he realizes that he wasn't really worthy of being called the World's Best back then.
There have been so many problems that he has had to solve in himself that he does not want to commit them again, and to avoid committing them, he must be patient.
That's why he was already determined to leave here. If he is lucky, he can find Charlotte and verify if she is the same one he knows. If he's not lucky this time, he won't worry too much and will continue on his way. Eventually, he will find her.
But to leave, he needs to cause slight chaos, which may cause the Divine Knights to become disoriented. Therefore, his work must begin.
'It is better to hasten the creation of the item. As long as things go well on that side, I should have no problem fleeing from here.' Matt thought and began to formulate a plan in his head. Soon after, he went to sleep.
The following day, he would have to go back to work.
That morning, though, he did not find the Great Summoner, so he had to work alone.
She had gone out for something urgent; it was unknown what it was.
.
On normal days, Mia Holmer tends to be a very busy woman. Her office days tend to be quite stressful, as she has to take care of many things to keep the Academy running smoothly.
This is more so when you consider that the Founder is not good at that sort of thing. The man's current status is because he was the Founder and nothing more; he has contributed nothing more than that to the Academy.
That is why he is not too much respected among the high level, except for his strength, in which he excels. However, even with his strength, he is not a very impressive person. Among the high level of the Academy, all the powerful ones know that the Spirit of the Founder, despite being one of the best, is actually the most wasted, along with the Spirits of Destiny.
This is why it is not respected, and that is precisely why Mia Holmer is the one in charge of so many things besides researching, creating artifacts, and many more. That's why she tends to be very busy and doesn't go out much.
But there are times when she disappears without warning. There are rumors that she might be visiting her family, who, according to rumors, do not like to be disturbed.
No one knows her family, though.
But the reality is a little different.
Mia Holmer looked at the mountain top before her and patiently walked there. It was a long way that could be shortened by flying or using moving spirits or boats, but she was patient and patiently walked to the top of the mountain.
It was a frozen mountain, but somehow, it had a lot of birds and wild animals. They were not aggressive; they were all in harmony, so it was a quiet mountain. But the cold here was several times more frightening than the cold on any of the Nevod Mountains.
And this is because this is the Central Mountain of the Nevod Mountains. Although it is also the most desolate and is currently only being occupied by one person, who occasionally receives visitors.
And Mia Holmer tends to be one of the occasional visitors.
When Mia Holmer reached the top, she sighed.
'It's always so complicated climbing up here. It's too steep this mountain.' She sighed, looking back at all the long way she had come.
'Still, I can't do anything. It's the rules.' She smiled and continued on her way to the center of the mountain.
On this huge mountain, there wasn't too much. There were a few buildings in the form of a village and little else. It appeared to be a mini city, but it was deserted. The main building was in sight, and it was a relatively small house compared to the rest.
But here lived one of the most amazing people in the World today. At least Mia saw it that way.
'In simplicity always hides amazing things.' She thought and peeked behind the tiny house.
There was a small corridor there. It was decorated simply and with a few things.
On the left was a table with some tea, and on the right was a table with some books. In the middle of both tables was a woman sitting back to her. In front of her was a small chess table, which looked a bit unique.
This chess table always gave Mia Holmer the creeps when she saw it. She didn't know why; she always felt like that chess table was kind of scary. However, maybe it was because of the very ability of the woman in front of her to play chess.
Seeing this arrangement, Mia smiled and planned to speak, but the woman sitting there spoke before she could.
"Just come and let's play chess. One round, I'm trying out a new strategy," she said. Her wonderful voice didn't sound cold. It was so soft, like the sound of a small waterfall in an unpolluted forest.
Mia Holmer smiled a little, though she looked pitiful.
She liked chess, but playing against this woman was a sure loss. Still, she walked over to her and sat down in the chair on the other side.
