Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Sorry!”
Lilith suddenly apologized to Xiao Lin after being left behind with him. She was no idiot. Although it looked as though the both of them were temporarily detained, Lilith’s detention was obviously perfunctory and she had great freedom.
Xiao Lin sighed and knew that his resentnt could not be lashed out on Lilith. Nevertheless, he still could not resist complaining, “What are you guys doing? You’ll have to at least give a reason!”
Lilith seed to want to tell him sothing, and in the end, finally said, “Harry asked about you yesterday... Your strange way of fighting, um, I an the Lightstream Jade. I didn’t say anything, but Harry is a very smart man and I’m not sure if he inferred it himself. I think this course of action may be in Harry’s personal capacity.”
Xiao Lin’s eyes lit up. “In other words, Judge Academy doesn’t actually want to detain ?”
“I was allowed to return to New Washington City yesterday. I asked a few friends about it and City Hall is already upset. Not only is Dawn Academy piling the pressure, City Hall has also been strongly telling Harry to release you.” Lilith did not mince her words. She was probably just as dissatisfied with Harry’s behavior.
“And the result?”
The bitter smile on Lilith’s face had already given Xiao Lin the answer. She shook her head and said, “Harry is a very powerful person in New Washington, or rather, our colony. The dragon-eagle knights are basically our most elite defense too, and as long as he does not accede, it will be difficult for anyone else to convince him.”
“Convince him?” Xiao Lin said sowhat annoyedly “Why don’t they just order him directly! He should always obey orders. He’s a soldier!”
“Order?” Lilith found it to be a little strange. “That’s not possible! City Hall isn’t qualified to give Harry orders. This is determined by the basic managent system.”
Xiao Lin was silent. He had little understanding of the administration of the entire colony.
Lilith explained a little bit to him. In fact, any academy basically had two sets of managent institutions. One was for the academy and the other was in the New World.
Xiao Lin understood that the internal managent system of the academy was the student union, but once students graduate, they would be managed not by the student union, but as part of the New World managent system.
However, the New World managent system was different for each academy. Judge Academy adopted a system that separated military and political affairs. Every city in the colony would set up an organization, such as City Hall, the chief of which only has the right to govern all administrative affairs in the city. However, they could not involve the military in it.
All of Judge Academy had a special military system that had direct managent over all military aspects of the colony. Harry’s dragon-eagle knights fell under that military system, and the knights’ own combat power determines their specialization, making Harry’s position an important one.
Although he was responsible for guarding New Washington, City Hall only had authority to advise him at best. Harry could just ignore them if they directly issued an order.
“What’s the highest managent organization?” Xiao Lin was a little curious.
“Arica has the High Council, the chairman of which has almost the sa power as the dean. The difference is that one is responsible for the New World and the other is responsible for the academy. But this is just for our country. It’s not as troubleso for Dawn Academy. As far as I know, Dawn Academy’s dean is both the highest managent authority of the academy and in the New World. There is no High Council either and it’s under the direct jurisdiction of various departnts. It is also much larger in terms of authority than other academies, but that’s because the dean of Dawn Academy is a powerful person himself.”
“What about the Supre Council?” Xiao Lin simply asked whatever question that ca to his mind. Since he was being detained, it would be better for him to clarify all those things as soon as possible.
Lilith paused for a mont and continued, “The Supre Council is an institution above all colonial academies. It has authority over everyone, regardless of nationality, color, race, or academy.”
“It’s the sa as Earth’s United Nations?” Xiao Lin quickly understood.
Lilith shook her head. “No. The United Nations is just a paper tiger. The Supre Council is different. It has great powers, and although they don’t formulate regulations and rules on a whim, any academy must comply with their directives unconditionally once those directives are given. For example, the prohibition from using the abilities learned in the academy on Earth was set by the Supre Council. No one dares treat that rule lightly.”
After a pause, Lilith looked at the incredulous Xiao Lin and asked, “Do you find it difficult to understand?”
Xiao Lin nodded. He could easily understand it if it were an organization like the United Nations. After all, if they wanted to carry out colonial activities together in the New World, there was a need for a place that provided mutual coordination and consultation. What puzzled him was that the Supre Council actually had the authority to restrain all academies.
A sudden thought then occurred to Xiao Lin. “Who are the people in the Supre Council?”
Lilith glanced at him with a look of approval. “You’ve gotten to the point. The composition of the Supre Council is the reason everyone must obey them. The first thing you need to know is that the Supre Council was personally created by Ivanovich.”
“Him again!” Xiao Lin exclaid. He had heard the na more than once, but on closer thought, the fact that the Supre Council was created by soone like him lent great weight to it.
Lilith continued, “He’s just the founder. There are only five mbers sitting in the Supre Council. They’re affiliated with Judge Academy, China’s Dawn Academy, France’s Sainte Académie, Britain’s Royal British Academy and Russia’s Voyna Akademiya. It is only with everyone’s approval that they can admit the mbers of other academies into the Supre Council. Any one person who opposes it renders the proposal invalid. Of course, the Supre Council usually won’t intervene in academic or colonial affairs.”
Xiao Lin was a little speechless. “Uh, doesn’t this an that these five big gangsters, I an, these five people are the permanent mbers?”
“You could say that. These countries basically have extrely glorious histories, so it is understandable for them to have a very high status, whether on Earth or the New World,” Lilith said proudly.
Xiao Lin chided silently in his heart, ‘But the history of Arica is very short...’
“Then, they beca the main mbers. The representatives of each academy in the council are that of the earliest pioneers. To put it bluntly, these people practically represent the strongest combat power of all our colonists!”
Lilith’s expression beca a little serious. “No one knows how strong they are, but it’ll at least be Legend-rank. If the law of resurrection created the future of colonists, then these five people from our colonial academies are the ultimate guardians for this world to maintain its current status!”
