Creation - The Path of a God

Chapter 13

The journey back to the Academy was an experience that Han didn't want to experience again. With the inability of the party to transport themselves to the Academy, Han needed to go with them. Though the experience did allow him to spend time with Selestra and his creations, it was a slow method of traveling.

A part of him wondered if he should introduce a series of transportation arches all throughout the various nations. This would not only benefit him in not having to deal with long journeys, but it would help the overall economy. The reason why the nations on Earth were able to grow so quickly was that of the improvement of the flow of information. The creation of the Internet may have been the greatest of humanity's contribution. It also was nice being able to view quality adult material whenever you wanted to.

After resting for several days upon arriving in Academic City, Han was informed by the Academic Company that the Student Council had summoned him. It was a little odd that they would need to see him, unless it had something to do with what occurred inside of the ruins. Han imagined that the Princess hadn't informed the Council, but there were possible elements inside of the Academy whose job was gaining information.

Exiting the elevator and arriving on the floor of the Student Council, there was a cute looking secretary that was waiting to greet him.

"Welcome. The Studen Council would like to extend their appreciation for agreeing to meet with them. All members are waiting inside of the conference room." the secretary informed him, and guided him to his destination.

As Han was following the secretary, he admired the amount of work that went into this floor. With the polished granite columns and all the marble, it did appear that the Council had a decent amount of wealth. Han thought it was quaint, considering the resources that he had at his disposal.

After walking down the long hallway, the doors automatically opened to present a grand room. There was a long crescent table with all the members of the Student Council waiting to meet him. He noticed that Val, the Lady Knight, was sitting at the table. Seeing that Han saw her, she gave a quick grin before masking it.

In front of the table, there was a large seal that was positioned likely indicating where those summoned were meant to stand. As he stood in front of the table, there was a long silence from the Council. Han was wondering if this was designed to intimidate him, like if an individual was summoned to the Oval Office inside of the White House.

Sitting at the center, there was a person with black hair and an angular face who looked like they were used to being respected. With how these organizations were like, this man was likely to be the Student Council President. Han just looked directly at him, and patiently stood there waiting until this man decided to address him.

It may have been petty to have a staring match, but if there was anything Han learned in his life was that small power battles helped to set the pace of future ones. If this man felt that he could use his power as the President to influence Han, then Han would have to deal with such an annoying event each time they interacted with one another.

"Yi, I have heard some great things about you, from Council members and students. Valessandria, who is in charge of the Disciplinary Committee, has mentioned you in a previous report. We are grateful that you decided to attend the Academy." the man said.

"Yes. As President Nathanial has mentioned, we are very impressed with what you have done in this institution." a woman sitting next to the President added in.

"I am curious about what these things are that I have contributed?" Han innocently asked.

"There is no need to be humble, Yi. We have heard from your teacher, Ha-Yoon, that you were the one responsible for saving all those students during your exploration into a monster's nest." The President replied, hinting that he would prefer Han to mention what happened at the ruins.
