Days passed, and it's been six months since Jill had broken through and she was leaving. She is not the only one who is leaving. Four more are leaving with her.
The sa month she had broken through, many others had also broken through. Ellen, Kevin, twins, Sofia and Raina, and Madeline, Ellen's fiancé. Now all of them are leaving and I have co to bid them goodbye.
"Take care mom, dad; don't worry about . It won't be long before I find a way to bring you to ," said Ellen as she hugged her parents while tears drip from her eyes.
I watched them, but I am most focused on Madeline. She had been inconspicuous, never revealing more than she needed to, and had been nearly absent through the whole war, except for fighting a few battles.
Now, a month ago, I heard she had broken through Primary II and leaving with Ellen.
It had shocked and many others. As her information had said. She is a Grandmaster and now is a Primary-II; it is quite hard to believe. Especially when I had scanned her with my seed and even sneakily added one to her.
She still had it inside her, and it is still sending signals, showing all her data, which I think is all fake, but has no way to prove.
I had tried to ask Ellen about her, but she remained silent on most things.
"Thank you for the ring," I said to her as she appeared beside for the last hug. "I don't know what you are talking about," she said, as she hugged , but I could see a faint smile appearing on her face.
I am not sure whether she is the one who did it or soone else, but I am infinitely grateful for them. If not for that ring, billions of people would have died.
The hugs and kisses continued. Soon, it was ti for them to leave.
"Good Bye you all. I hope we will et on the other side soon enough," said Sofia to the nearly a hundred people who ca to see them off.
After giving one last hug to their parents and brother, Sofia and Raina entered the gate. Which is invisible to us. Only those who reached Primary-II could see it.
It is present as the mont they stepped inside, they disappeared, without leaving even the slightest fluctuations. After them it was Kevin, then Jill, and last were Madeline and her fiancé.
"They left and, in a few years, we will leave too," said Lady Hera, to that I smiled. Yes, within a few years, we will leave and just thought of that made sit, but it is an inevitable truth.
The world had beco too small for us and while the other side was dangerous, there was no option but to go.
"Let's go," said Matron Mavis, and enveloped people of her organization and disappearing. Lady Hera and Vivian did the sa, and so had Patriarch Bradford. All of them left one after another till only Marina and I left behind.
"I wish we could stay here till we die," she said softly, before smiling mirthlessly at her words.
"Don't worry, we will have a forever ho; it is not just this," I said to her as I looked at the wonderful blue globe where I was born and grew up and will be leaving in a few years.
"Let's go, we have to be prepared for tomorrow," said Marina and took a step forward and we disappeared and a few seconds later, appeared at the academy. Where the preparations for tomorrow are being made.
Soon we went back to our small house and spent a day in each other's company, while my clones work on inheritance.
I have reached a limit a few days ago; it took longer than I had imagined, but I was able to do it. Now, I only need to create the inheritance and I will be ready to make a breakthrough into Primary-II.
It will take a few years for that. It is not easy to create the inheritance of the level I want.
Soon, the next day ca, and now, I am standing in front of thousands of mbers of the academy; 40% of which belong to Supres and other organizations, like before the academy is taking the mbers of other organizations.
Before it was used to be waiting-mbers, who were not completely qualified to be in the supre, and only after reaching King, they would get admitted to the supre, now it is different.
Those here from Supres are complete mbers, born and bred there; they will be in the academy till they beca emperors before leaving for their respective organizations.
Of 40% non-mbers, only 20% are from the supre, and the other 20% are from the lower organization. I hope, in centuries to co, these people of different organizations will foster bonds and will keep the conflict to a minimum.
"Headmaster, it is ti," said the old woman, and I nodded and took the step forward, facing hundreds of thousands of students and faculty of the academy.
"It was the greatest honor of my life to serve you, but the ti had co to pass the mantle to soone more capable," I said to the crowd, and a woman appeared beside .
"From today, the new headmaster of Riverfield Academy would be Lisa Walters. She will take the academy further that I had ever could," I said and stepped aside, letting the won with ocean-blue hair take the stage.
The woman looked in her mid-twenties, but was only three years older than ; the youngest of all candidates, I had shortlisted to replace . She is a High-Grandmaster, which is now a prerequisite to beco the Headmaster.
She had been a mber of the academy since she was born. Her parents were the staff and fought distinguishingly in the war.
Her talent is diocre, but she has a drive that very few have, which to is far greater than talent. She is also a master in ruins, another requisite for being a headmaster; this condition had been there since the inception of the academy.
Strength is not enough. You need a magic expert; Marina was a healer, and so am I, along with a Rune Grandmaster and now an alchemy master.
"I can never fill the giant shoes you are leaving behind, Headmaster Zaar, but I will try my har…." She said as she started the speech.
The program lasted for a few hours, and there was a banquet after in which I had once again cooked for over hundreds of thousands of people.
It is the last ti I will do that. After today, I will truly be disappeared from the eyes of the world. I want to spend the rest of my ti with my loved ones, work on my inheritance, and finish my legacy.
"How are you feeling?" asked Marina as we returned to our house. "Relieved," I said. Even though I did not look at the day-to-day functions of the academy, there was still responsibility and I had to make appearances, but now, there are no more.
I am completely free to do what I want with no obligation.
"She is good. You have chosen the right successor," said Marina. She knows too well. While I may be saying, I am relieved, I am still worried about the academy and will always be.
Though, I have done everything I could, what happens after I leave will depend on the future generations.
