After briefly discussing the potions, Benjamin said goodbye to the president and set off back to the academy.
After this meeting, the general plan for liberating the Mages Guild was finalized—first, a sufficient amount of potions would be produced in Freden, and at the Queen's birthday party two months later, they would completely change Ikol.
As for what to do... Benjamin knew what to do.
The ten minutes of "Waterfall" are ten minutes that can't be beat. Even though thousands of powerful mages would gather at the birthday party, Benjamin was not afraid. Coupled with the help of the president and other mages, he could rely on force suppression in that short period of time to force those mages to drink the antidote.
No matter how angry the queen is, she can't stop this.
Of course, this plan is indeed too reckless. It relies entirely on force to fight back. Benjamin's reputation may be seriously damaged after it is over. But no matter what, they must liberate the Mages Guild, even if they pay a high price.
—All for the day when they can counterattack the Hori Kingdom.
In this way, after another two days, Benjamin successfully returned to the academy. There wasn't much he needed to prepare for this plan. The president will prepare everything, he just needs to try his best to improve his magic level.
Therefore, he returned to his residence and began to retreat again.
There has been no response from the Foer family, but Benjamin is not in a hurry. With such a long distance, message delivery will definitely take more time. Those mages are all locked up here now, and Aix will definitely not sit idly by.
Half a month later.
"Dean, the students who went out for internship have returned. Everyone has successfully completed a round of tasks, and the feedback from the Mercenary Association is also good." Wallis took the notebook and reported to Benjamin.
Benjamin nodded.
For colleges, the results of outing internships are actually a very important thing. Does it mean that this academy can cultivate mages? And can the mages trained here adapt to the external social environment? Although Benjamin's strength is very convincing, the educational results of a college are still more important.
People outside are staring at the Magic Academy, waiting for them to stun the audience or fall into the clouds. This internship ended successfully, which was a good start for them.
After thinking about it, Benjamin gathered some non-lawyers in the college and held a meeting.
"I know that you don't have the talent for magic, and you often feel a little out of place when you stay in the academy. I haven't arranged your work properly before, and just asked you to do odd jobs in the academy, which is indeed overkill."
In the conference room, Benjamin glanced at the people below and said this.
Most of these people are mercenaries, followers he conquered when he was in Freeden. As for the rebel army entrenched in the mountains, many people gathered here after the stronghold was disbanded.
Before, Benjamin had never thought about how to arrange them, but now, he finally had an idea in his mind.
"We have sworn before that we will follow Lord Benjamin to the death. We will do whatever you ask us to do without any complaints." said a mercenary.
Benjamin smiled and said, "But after all, all your skills are wasted here, so I found a new job for you."
As he spoke, he started writing on the blackboard in the conference room.
"... Academy ANBU?"
Looking at the short word on the blackboard, the people below couldn't help but frown.
"Yes, the academy has been established for several months. We need a group of people to perform special tasks, such as collecting intelligence, undercovering other organizations, and creating public opinion... These nerds in the academy who devote themselves to magic every day may not be able to do this kind of thing, but Many of you are mercenaries, so it shouldn't be too difficult to sit up."
In fact, Benjamin’s idea was inspired by the completion of the first batch of internships.
This group of students successfully completed the tasks of the Mercenary Association, and at best they can receive praise from the Mercenary Association, but what about the outside world? Probably no one knows. Therefore, Benjamin felt that they needed to promote it well to let everyone know about their educational achievements and establish the status of the magic academy.
If it had been in the past, it would have been a group of mages in disguise, hanging out in taverns around the country, looking for people to talk to, and slowly spreading the news. But now that they have the conditions, why not train a dedicated group of people to do this
To put it bluntly, they need public opinion to build momentum and a "water army".
Moreover, this kind of intelligence worker, who is similar to an agent, can play a role far beyond expanding the influence of the academy. Sufficient and timely information is really important, and he can't just rely on the water element induction method to try his luck, or he will suffer a loss.
Therefore, Benjamin believes that it is time for the college to establish a specialized intelligence organization!
"This... I don't quite understand? What exactly do you want us to do?"
Probably because Benjamin's expression was a bit abstract, some people below looked a little confused. someone asked.
Benjamin replied: "Now, you have to go to various countries and establish secret intelligence bases. You cannot tell anyone your identity, but you have to pretend to be ordinary people from outside and integrate into local life. What should you do? Well. When there is a mission, carry out the mission secretly."
After hearing this, the people below finally nodded.
"But... I have never done anything like this before." A young man from the disbanded rebel army spoke up, hesitated for a moment, and said.
"It doesn't matter. Before you start, I will let experienced mercenaries train you." Benjamin smiled encouragingly and said, "Actually, this is just the beginning. I don't have high requirements for you."
How is it possible to just gather a group of people together and create a professional intelligence organization? He didn't expect these people to play such a great role, so he just started.
He can gradually improve various issues such as the selection of members, the organization's rules and regulations, and loyalty guarantees... in the future. Now, it is enough for this group of people to support him and publicize the news that the first internship was successfully completed. It is enough to do the work of "water army".
"Understood, we will try our best to fulfill your request!"
In this way, the meeting ended. These people looked at the short words "Academy Anbu" on the blackboard, as if they had been given some mission, and their dim eyes regained their luster.
Benjamin looked at them and nodded happily.
He knew very well that some of these people might even betray him in the future and do things like sell information to the enemy. But at least for now, their eyes are sincere.
Let's go back and plan how this organization will operate...
"They have lived in the college for such a long time. Although I have not paid attention to them, you should have kept a lot of their behavioral patterns." Benjamin said in his heart, "Summarize everyone's information, and finally So that I can analyze their personalities and assign the work of the dark department of this academy."
"Don't push everything to me, okay? Do you think I'm idle? Why would I pay attention to the behavior of those guys?" the system said angrily.
"Isn't it stored in your database?"
"… saved."
"Then analyze it quickly for me."
“…”
The system had nothing to say and went to work in despair. Satisfied, Benjamin returned to his residence, continued to meditate, and improved his strength with peace of mind.
