Chapter 824: Chapter 824. Head of Tactician Unit
"Head of Tactician Unit, huh," Kailen mused inwardly.
"What duties will I have to execute, specifically senior?" Kailen asked.
"You’ll decide how our troops should be used on the battlefield. Even the principal will have to follow your arrangements," she added. "We’ve done a detailed research on your feats as a tactician in the light region before you became a transcendent and came to the chaotic region. Your tactical feats in the light region before you became a Transcendent earned you the name, The Mad Tactician.
When you also arrived in the chaotic region, from your time in Richtchard City till now, you’ve maneuvered dangerous situations with the signature of a brilliant tactician.
This is where your greatest strength lies, your mind. Also, serving as a tactician will also protect you directly from the direct assault of the royal family during the war."
A glint of understanding flashed through Kailen’s eyes.
"These people are really smart. Can’t say they are wrong though. This is a win-win situation for me. I will have to get directly involved in combat only when absolutely necessary," Kailen thought. "This will protect me from the direct assault of the royal family during the war. I don’t have anything to lose by agreeing. I can also program situations to end this war better as the chief tactician."
"I agree," Kailen said.
"Wonderful. The war council will convene the moment we arrive and your professorship is registered."
Kailen nodded to her words.
"The Principal is out of seclusion. However, it’s being kept a secret."
Kailen figured out the hidden reason behind this decision.
"Because the empress is most likely out of seclusion and the royal family is also keeping that under the wraps?" Kailen said.
"Exactly. The moment the empress and the principal makes an appearance, the outcome could be decided," Morgana replied. "Before that happens, we would like to thin down the numbers of the royal family considerably."
Kailen was in thought for a while. "Don’t you think the royal family has anticipated the principal is also out of seclusion and is planning something similar? The empress is not stupid."
Morgana nodded. "Of course we are aware of that. This is where you come in. You have the uncanny ability to notice things that even the best tacticians could miss. You can account for variables no one will account for under normal circumstance."
Kailen nodded.
"Everything I’ve just shared is not the final decision. You are the chief tactician in this war. You decide how our troops are distributed, when we attack, when we retreat and when we operate covertly or openly," Morgana added. "So, we will look forward to your cooperation at the war council."
After these words, Morgana stood up and left Kailen’s seat.
Kailen was in thought.
A slight smile appeared at the edge of his lips.
He had just thought of a very crazy idea.
"I have the right to determine everything, right? Since they trust me that much, they won’t think I’m crazy when I execute this plan I just came up with, right?" Kailen mused.
The will of the universe was floating close to him.
"Seriously, I can never get used to this crazy mind of yours," she sighed.
Even she had to admit that what this fellow was thinking was entirely crazy.
Kailen looked at her.
"Oh... look what we have here. Did you just complement me?"
"Hmph!" she snorted. "Shameless brat. I’m just saying you are a lunatic."
Kailen chuckled. "Yeah... yeah."
****
A spaceship glided through the evening skies, eventually landing at an open ground in the Venzula Empire Academy.
Several students looked towards the direction of the spaceship which had just arrived.
A number of professors, headed by the vice principal, stepped out of the spaceship.
Four individuals followed after the professors.
Glints of admiration and respect flashed through the eyes of several individuals when they stared at the vice principal. She had broken into the rank 7 novice stage Transcendent level. Something about her had changed even though she still looked the same.
They also stared at the four individuals who had just stepped out with the professors and sighed.
"As expected. They broke into the rank 6 novice stage Transcendent level. Top rankers on the Heavenly Fate Rankings are really on another level. As for Kailen Darkhaven, I feel like he can squash me with just a single attack. As expected of The Mad Tactician, someone who shook the light region like never before, before he became a Transcendent and came to the chaotic region," someone muttered.
"You did research on him?" another muttered.
"Of course I did. He’s the most famous person in the Tesla Domain at the moment. I was naturally curious. News about his feats in the light region before he became the first Transcendent of the light region and came to the chaotic region are all over the place, so it’s very easy to come across them," the fellow who had spoken earlier said. "Several Transcendents in the Tesla Domain, who arose from the edge region have to admit that, if they were to make comparisons, they were not as tyrannical as this fellow when he was in the light region before he became a Transcendent. His feats were too abnormal."
"Yeah..." another person added... "feats such as the Darkhaven Achievement, The Great Erasure, the Fourfold Silence, The Birth of the Pill Spirit... among others... the list goes on and on."
"Someone of his caliber was naturally bound to shake the Tesla Domain sooner or later the moment he came to the chaotic region. The sight of him slaughtering all those geniuses in the competition with just a single attack is still etched in my memory."
"Indeed. Look, they are leaving."
"Well, they are most likely headed to the Staff District to register Kailen Darkhaven, and the others officially as professors."
"Indeed. They are now on another level compared to us."
"How time flies."
"Yeah... when he arrived at the academy, we didn’t pay much attention to him. But now we can only look at him from afar."
"Sigh... anyway, have you heard?"
"What?"
"All those from the royal faction have been expelled from the academy. It was done on the orders of the higher ups"
"Well, that was bound to happen sooner or later. We are about to go to war with the royal family anyway. There’s no need for the academy to tolerate their bullshit anymore."
"Yeah."
"Quickly... let’s go and train in a secret realm. Seeing Kailen Darkhaven is making me question my life choices. In the upcoming war, weakness means dying without even knowing how."
"Sigh... you’re right."
Several academy students discussed, as they headed towards secret realms in the academy and principle fragment towers to train.
War loomed on the horizon.
They could not afford to be weak.
