Why Did You Summon Me? Chapter 344 - Why Won’t You Believe Me?

Chapter 344: Why Won’t You Believe ?

Baiyi’s penchant to give ambiguous answers had begun to annoy those in positions of authority, yet they were powerless to act against him. Because if the treasure really was the Book of Servitude, just how do they plan to intimate him? If the rumors were true, then he was now soone ard with a legendary book filled with forbidden spells, making him a terrorist deadlier than the gods! Provoke him? Oh, hell no.

This was the sentint that Baiyi wished to incite; it was also the sa effect that the Archmage had hoped for. The Book of Servitude was not given to him to ruin the lives of others; it was given to him to stop others from disturbing his life.

Regardless of how empty Baiyi’s responses to inquiries were, he was still the topic of discussion in many societies; ‘the hottest personality du jour’— if you will. This ti, the North had also joined the South to talk about him. As of now, Baiyi no longer needed the Church’s help to increase his fa; the survivors of the secret realm expedition, on their volition, were now his propaganda-spreading-machines, singing praises of how noble he was to anyone who cared to listen.

Although the hostages in the Void were still uncooperative, Baiyi had still obtained impressive rewards in terms of fa. He had not needed to leave his house to know how famous he had beco.

Despite that, his daily routine at ho did not change. For about ten days, he continued living a mundane life, giving lessons, preparing docunts for his upcoming Academy, playing around with Mia, Tisdale, and his Kitty Cat Maid; it was quite the comfortable life. However, the fa did not make it easy for him to go about his business, so anyti he needed to run so docunts by so organizations, he would ask his students to do it for him.

On this day, after Baiyi finished writing a request letter, he handed it over to Potter the Owl. “Take this to the Sorcerers’ Association. Attached to this is my newest thesis.”

The Owl looked at him unwillingly. ‘You’re basically treating as your carrier pigeon now, aren’t you?’

Unfortunately, it, too, was not inclined to go against Baiyi’s words, so it gripped the canister containing his letter, flapped its wings, and flew out the door.

“My docunts are almost completed now. Let see if I left anything undone.” Baiyi produced a checklist from his inner pocket. With the docunts cleared, he could now shift his attention to the staff resources and money.

He quickly penned a letter asking for monetary aid and handed it to his youngest student, Mia. “Take this to Vidomina’s butler next door, and tell him to send it as soon as possible.”

Mia nodded and left the house in a hurry.

‘Hmm... A few building materials, desks and chairs, and dispensable wares... I should probably start preparing them now.’ Baiyi thought, then he wrote another letter. After that, he summoned Tisdale and gave the letter to her. “Give this to that money-loving Undine. Tell her to take care of these quickly and also choose only rchants with high-quality wares.”

After receiving her instructions, Tisdale left the house in a hurry.

“I need staff, too. Now that my fa is at an all-ti high, I could probably get so decent staff mbers via public requests. Man, I really picked a great ti to present My Greatest Show Ever...” Baiyi murmured as he wrote two more letters. After writing them, he gave one to Attie and the other to Nota.

“Take this letter to the city’s local governnt office. Tell them to like it and share it,” he instructed Attie.

“Take this letter to the headhunting guild. Tell them to follow my requirents to the letter,” he instructed Nota.

Both girls left the house in a hurry after receiving their instructions.

“Mmm... right. I still have so unfinished business with the Church.” Baiyi took out another paper and wrote speedily. When he was done, he called Laeticia and said, “Take this to the Church — straight to the higher-ups.”

Laeticia, too, rushed out of the house after receiving her instructions.

“That should do it. The rest of you, assemble for class!” Baiyi announced loudly.

His holler was answered with an echo and eventually, silence. All he could see was the Jawflower peeking at him through the window, with curiosity written all over its face. There was no one at ho.

“Tsk tsk. Why do I feel like an old man whose kids have all grown up and left the house?” Baiyi murmured, feeling a little unhappy as sat in the living room.

Unfortunately, such things could not be avoided, even if he went out of his way to try to prevent it. When his students finally returned from their errands, they brought news with them.

As Baiyi was now famous, the academics had agreed to analyse his credentials and research papers with a fine-toothed comb, provide the publicity necessary, and obtain governnt subsidy; all on one condition, however: he had to attend a quorum hosted by the Doors of Conundrum, which would be joined by other important people from many organizations and academies.

To put it simply, they wanted to force his presence. Of course, it wasn’t for a et-and-greet fan event; it was for the treasure he had obtained.

“Looks like I don’t have a choice this ti. But, I guess it’s okay; I might as well as settle this once and for all,” Baiyi murmured as he played with Mia’s hair.

Mia, however, shook her hair out of his grasp and asked, “So, Mr. Hope, what’s the na of the Academy going to be?”

‘Ey? This is sothing I haven’t... really thought about.’ After all, he was not the First Walker, who had a lot passion for coming up with nas. Before he could start thinking about it, the Voidwalkers began to discuss amongst themselves.

“Since this it academy is being established by his Majesty, the Emperor, himself, it should be called the Rohlserlian Royal Institute!” The Archmage stated. It was quite rare that he ca up with a na that was not embarassing or copyright-infringing!

“Such audacity within the Walhart Empire? That’s simply asking for a war!” The Scholar Walker replied. ” Fortunately, my keener insights has determined a na that suggests more prudence... The Void Academy! How is that?”

‘How the hell is that na prudent? The Archmage’s suggestion may turn us into enemies of the Walhart royalty, but your suggestion... may turn us into the enemies of the entire world, okay?’ Baiyi said, instantly criticizing the suggestion.

“Nah, that’s not too apt. Just called it the Hope Academy. After all, it’s customary to na a school after its principal,” the Apprentice Walker said, drawing experience from his own tenure.

‘Sure, that is customary. ‘Hope’ is a pretty good word, but when it is attached to an organization, anyone could mistake it to be a famous organization that manufactures pig-feed, which is totally not halal.’

“Please! If we are to build our private academy in a private realm, then we should be open minded when christening it. It should have a na that is unique and highlights our individuality! So, let us christen it... The School of Gentlen!” The Cleric Walker suggested, hopefully.

For his suggestion, Baiyi punished him with a twenty-four hour forced mute.

“Fine, you wanna be straightforward? Let’s called it Fair Maidens Grooming Academy! And, the only students we accept in our application will be ladies and cute boys who look like ladie — mmmhhh!” The Cleric Walker’s brother-in-arms, the Paladin Walker, was also muted for twenty four hours.

However, the Cleric Walker’s lousy suggestion seed to have influenced the other Voidwalkers, because the suggestions that began to co in were without logic. Hogwarts, Totsuki Saryo Institute, Ooarai High School, Otonokizaka Academy, Academy City, and even debatable schools like Chinese Academy of White (Album) Studies, the Academy of Lightning, the Chinese Academy of Chtholly. They had co up from the ding.

These suggestions really made him wonder why the Voidwalkers spend their free ti doing.

By the ti Baiyi arrived for the special quorum the next day, suggestions for an academy na were still pouring in from the Void, despite forcefully muting the weeaboos, NEETs, and researchers of ‘White Album’ and ‘Chtholly’.

Therefore, Baiyi decided to ignore and turn his attention to reality. Let them ss around amongst themselves; he had serious business to attend to.

Although they had called this a special quorum, to Baiyi, it seed more like a public Senate hearing. It was being held in a conference room within the Sorcerers’ Associations. By the ti Baiyi arrived, excluding a circular desk in the middle of the room, the conference room was packed with representatives of various factions and societies; they numbered more than a hundred. Even the Northerners had sent their own representatives to attend the hearing, despite not having any intention to actively participate in the questions and discussions.

It seed that everyone there was very interested in the book that Baiyi found in the secret realm. The eting had not started yet, but the room was noisy from hushed whispers, which, no doubt, had Baiyi as the topic of conversation.

The quorum began with a greeting and an introduction, as was customary. After that, Baiyi’s academy was only briefly discussed. No one was against it. Instead, they all quickly congratulated him, and so directors of other academies quickly expressed their desires to establish a good rapport with Baiyi, hoping to rope him into an alliance with them.

After a short period of pretending to host a discussion and a few superficial congratulatory words, the host of the quorum, an old fellow from the Doors of Conundrum called Great Sage Tom, instantly shifted to the true agenda for the gathering. “Master Hope, as your fellow academic in the Doors of Conundrum, I’m very curious as to what you acquired. Could you please sate our curiosity?”

“Sure!” Baiyi replied, without any hesitation. The Book of Servitude appeared in his hands, and this ti, its cover was not black but dazzling gold.

As a divine item, the Book of Servitude could change its appearance according to its owner’s will.

Baiyi told the crowd that he believed the book to be an ancient relic of the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire, but that was all he knew due to lack of research; this was the sa tale he had been telling since he got the book.

“Master Hope, I think you’d been saying the sa thing for a while now, yes?” Great Sage Tom replied, visibly unimpressed. ” Everyone’s here to eagerly listen to your finding, yet you’re dismissing us... quite uncourteous, don’t you think?”

“But, what I’d said was the truth. Why won’t you believe ?” Baiyi shrugged helplessly. “Maybe I should just do it this way...”

He tossed the Book of Servitude onto Great Sage Tom’s lap.I... am lost on why he would think so, really. It didn’t conjure that image to ... But, perhaps there is a famous pig-feed manufacturer in China that goes by the na ‘Hope’...?I skipped Hogwarts because, damn, I really expect everyone to know what Hogwarts is. (A) The culinary institute featured in Food Wars. (B) The school featured in Girls und Panzer. (C) The school featured in Love Live! School Idol Diary. (D) The school featured in A Certain Magical Index. (E) A parody “academy” established by the Chinese to conduct “research” on a galga called White Album. (F) If it was originally so sort of Chinese , I’d failed to establish a connection. (G)A self-proclaid “academy”/ “religion” centered around so tragic fairy, Chtholly Nota Seniorius from... Sigh, Shuumatsu nani shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte moratte ii desu ka?
