Chapter 163: 157 Chapter 157

Belle and the other aristocrats present still remained hopeful of the current situation and watched silently.

"I see, then did you gather everyone here today to share your discovery?" Lady Belle asked with slightly furrowed brows, if she did intend to release such information to the public it would prove to be problematic. The power of her family could even be threatened, something that was less than pleasing to imagine.

Luckily she took measures upon hearing Lady Rose requested such a gathering...

"Pardon my objection Lady Rose! I Ronigh Yersbern as a professor of this academy feel such knowledge should be shared only with the academy. Outsiders hold no place hearing of this for nothing!"

"I agree!"

"Yes I too think it's illogical to..."

"Perhaps we should analyze first..."

One by one numerous professors and inquisitors of the academy began to support the statement that the knowledge should be shared only with the academy.

If it was made public then even commoners and lower class families would learn of perhaps some methods to catch up to families who took years to get where they are, such a thought aroused the greed and selfishness of many.

"I too agree with this." Lord Treiss suddenly added, his words as the vice carried incredible weight.

Belle hadn't tried to persuade him before hand because she knew given his personality he wouldn't agree to giving away such a prize. If this information got to some high class families then it meant even the big six families may lose what made them special in the first place.

Lord Treiss knew he was a high ranking member of the academy and so if they could control which knowledge was distributed then the best knowledge would remain in the hands of those at the top already.

,m "I too." Lord Yohan also quickly analyzed that he had more to gain by having the information remain within the academy so he readily agreed.

"I can't bring myself to add to the matter as I am content with any choice, how about you Master Uva?" Belle sneakily chose to remain neutral so as not to make bad blood with other forces who would be left out if this decision came to pass.

Lady Uva was largely supportive of spreading knowledge but even she knew giving away this much would most certainly lead to conflict. It was better reserved by the academy and slowly distributed after filtering had been done. "I agree as well." She replied seriously before looking at Rose.

Rose however only showed a small smirk. 'He was right, human greed is truly easy to predict.'

"You seem to misunderstand the purpose of me gathering you all here. I was simply going to share information regarding the geology of the Komi Islands to aid you all who seek to go there. I have no intention of just sharing what knowledge I gained there." Lady Rose suddenly revealed and the orb showed she wasn't lying.

Looks of surprise, anger, relief and many other emotions surfaced on the faces of those gathered after hearing this sudden revelation.

It basically meant all those who agreed to the initial idea at the risk of making enemies of those outside the academy now had nothing to show for it. Wasn't this being made a fool of?

Those who didn't have ties to the academy however felt great relief from this statement as it basically meant they still had hope. As for the commoners observing they could only show surprise, it's not like they would benefit much whatever the result.

Internally Belle was furious because although she herself didn't pick a side, those she urged to speak would mostly likely hold a certain grudge towards her now and if not that then their trust will be lowered. How couldn't she be angry?

The two other individuals wearing Ettenheim crests both showed smirks at this as if enjoying the current show but Lord Treiss wasn't about to give up so easily.

"Lady Rose, perhaps you forgot but all items, knowledge and materials discovered on journeys carried out using Galos academy resources must be shown to a panel before dividing it accordingly. Failure or refusal to do so is a major crime against the academy." Lord Treiss revealed rather strictly bringing slight relief to the panicking professors who just made grudges with high class families while belonging to mid class ones.

Once again however, Lady Rose would crush what little hope they had. "I am very aware of that fact however, the airship we used belongs to that student there and the entire trip was sponsored by him. The only infraction we've committed is leaving the premises without formal permission which upon first offense requires the party responsible to pay 5 gold. You may deduct that from my monthly earnings."

Lady Rose spoke slowly and rather bluntly with her strict alluring tone remaining dominant over all others.

*clap* *clap* "Marvelous, absolutely marvelous! As expected of the woman who every man wishes for, including I myself Ronald Ettenheim." One of the two individuals bearing the Ettenheim crest finally spoke and did so while chuckling and clapping at Lady Rose's performance.

Lord Treiss couldn't argue with her words any longer and provoking a grand mage level figure and smart woman such as herself wasn't worth it. Even if many people sought to use force, how could they against someone like her?

Which left only two options...

"Then I call those two students to the podium, perhaps they are more willing to share what they know." Lord Treiss furrowed his brows and suggested this, although it didn't exactly leave room for refusal.

Aron didn't look the least bit fazed and even showed a small smirk at being called up.

Anastasia who was seated somewhere in the 2nd roll of another group of seats had been observing him this entire time. She came hoping he had finally bitten off more than he can chew but that smile on his face made her worry, it was the very smile he wore when he crushed her pride.
