Chapter 153 - Qualifications



Wallace was a bit curious about the decision of their academy. Adding a new curriculum not only requires students but also capable faculties, equipment, and most importantly, a space in the academy. He thought that it was already crowded within the Leonhearts Academy.

They will even accept transferees from the first year to the third year. It seems that they were truly confident in their plan. 

"Well, there should be some space if they will build new buildings near the sports field."

Wallace said as he continued reading the article. It seems that their headmaster Percival was quite ambitious. He had been planning to add the two new curriculums in their academy ever since he was elected as the headmaster a couple of years ago. And now, due to the closure of a vocational school within the same city, it triggered them to hasten their plans and accept those students and some of the competent faculty members. 

As Wallace continued reading halfway through the article, the journalist even quoted Percival\'s words telling that they will be announcing some new members of the faculty that will spearhead the new curriculums. 

It seems that the new faculty members have some prestige in the field so they were creating hype to attract students. Anyway, it was a normal strategy since they needed to get a certain number of enrollees so that the curriculum wouldn\'t die out. They will surely recruit outstanding individuals.

"You couldn\'t even give us the top class equipment that we need." Wallace mumbled instead after reading the article. These changes they made would surely cost the academy a lot of money.

He personally felt that it would have been better to just improve their current specialization, the Combat Magician\'s Path and Magic Engineers\'. But it would have been too bad for the students of the closed vocational school. Anyway, it was his own opinion. The headmaster and directors of the academy must be planning something. After all, the closure of the other school was too abrupt. 

And for the equipment he mentioned, he was referring to the outdated Artifact Forging Boxes and other materials and devices they have in their Forging Rooms. 

\'Well, they might create some changes now that the academy will expand.\' Wallace thought for a while and noticed that it was already late, he called it a day as he instructed the A.I. to start their production and slept soundly throughout the whole night.

Now that the Ravencroft Printer was made, Wallace had to make sure to maximize its utility.

He first planned to make a thousand new version of Simulator Pods. This would give him a considerable income for his bigger projects. 

He was confident enough that with Yumi\'s support, he will easily get his permit to sell his products. After all, his Magic Jammer Canceller\'s Structure was still being kept and studied by the NMTI. 

As for the five automatons controlled by Avalon, they would continue to build four more Ravencroft Printer later. And of course, these printers must be kept in absolute secrecy. No one should know that he possesses a machine capable of copying both magic formation and arrays or it would be a disaster.

Its capability to fabricate high-end machined items was already very impressive leaving aside its capability to construct magic. It would be difficult to peacefully construct his designs if there\'s too much attention on him. 

Anyway, he recalled that during the robbery attempt in his property, these five automatons or named Elysiums that wore his bio-armors were not able to join the fight as the battle was completely handled by his several Laser Focus hidden around the property. This made him realize their effectiveness in combat against magicians, so he also instructed the A.I. to add a few more for a surprise. 

Unfortunately, with all his projects being done, his budget was also running low now that he purchased land and materials for his Simulator Pods production. He only has around 500,000 credits from his previous 180 million by selling some of his mana artifacts and internet programs.

"At the very least, my device can now simulate even Mana. I should be able to earn back my money once I started selling them." Wallace mumbled. Although he plans to create a thousand pods, he doesn\'t have a place to stock them so he needed land. His current printer had even consumed most of the space within the workshop. It wasn\'t really the best place to start a large scale production.

The land that he purchased was quite near the Red Star Town, it is at the edge of the Cove City. It was far from Tanza City so even with his Void Phase, he would need an hour to travel back and forth. 

He actually wanted it to be in Tanza City, although the city seems to be restless at the moment due to the syndicate planning something to the city, he was confident that he could still protect his property. Unfortunately, all the lands and shops being sold wasn\'t good enough. There were several good locations but they are not for sale but for lease. Although he didn\'t mind leasing a property, there are just too many restrictions coming from the owners. 

He then told his concerns to his mother who suggested to look for a good spot near their town instead. She mentioned that their family could help in his business if he wanted to.

Of course, Wallace immediately agreed since his family members were the people he can absolutely put his trust. 

Wallace remembered his conversation with his influential mother.

"Mom, I would like to tell you something about my planned business."

"You can tell me anything." Elaine replied.

Wallace nodded and started to explain.

"...I have automatons with acceptable artificial intelligence that would act as a workforce and help with the production."

"I see, so you mean that you don\'t need much presence in the workplace? Since it will be handled by a capable artificial intelligence?"

"Yes, they don\'t really need to be supervised. But I still need to check from time to time to check their maintenance.

"That\'s very impressive." 

"Mhm... You know the product I released a month ago, the combat simulation pod?"

"I remember them. It is quite remarkable. I heard that its demand was high but you stopped producing them.."

"Yes, those 200 were already difficult to build within my workshop. Actually, I created a second version of it and I will be needing a production area for the pods."

"You need to buy land?"

"Yes."

"What\'s your requirements?"

Wallace mentioned all of his requirements. He also mentioned that any nearby places were fine as long as it meets his expectation.

There are few places his mother could recommend as they had to consider the supply routes of the raw materials.

In the end, they decided to settle in a land within the Cove City. The place was peaceful and also very well protected. They purchased a land that already has a factory built within. This factory was previously used in processing cottons with 100 employees so they only have to do some renovations and everything should be fine. The place was wide enough to start his production process. 

Wallace planned to have his Simulation Pod popular before the start of his third year and increased his productions to more than 10,000 in half a year. During that time, he should have enough Ravencroft Printer and his products must have reached the other countries during that time.

If necessary, he can consider selling the manufacturing right to hasten the production of his simulator pods.

For now, he will let his A.I. manage all the production procedures as he sets his eyes to a specific craftsman.

It was normally difficult to find these masters looking for an apprentice, however, right now, a master will conduct an examination to find five apprentices who will be under his tutelage. This examination only occurred because the master announced that after he provided guidance to these five apprentices, he was planning to go to the northern continent. 

He doesn\'t know whether he could return or not so he wanted to make sure that his legacy wouldn\'t cut off here. 

Although he already has 4 apprentices under him, he said that he had always wanted to have 9 apprentices. Wallace wasn\'t sure why he decided on such a number but it doesn\'t matter. 

Tomorrow, he will visit the capital to join the examination. 

He then read the qualifications to take the examination.

*Male or Female.

*Must be 13-18 yrs old.

*Must be Single.

*Having an Arcane Link is a plus but not required.

*Must have reached at least beginner-level mastery over designing and developing Magic Formation and Arrays.
