With some more discussion about logistical matters such as where and when the School of Dreams will be set up, our five geniuses were off.
Principal Jones had given them free reign, as he had said. They could choose everything. The where and the when and the how, everything was up to them. Even the school emblem was up to them. So, they started touring the world. Of course not all the world, since that would take forever, but a virtual world that showed off the world, on a very small scale, which had become a popular tourist attraction.
Imagine walking around the Earth. That's right, WALKING around the Earth. That was how small the scale of the virtual world was. Of course, our five geniuses were not here for entertainment purposes, but to find the best spot to build their School of Dreams. They found something amazing, perfect for them.
It was a stretch and they had to ask Principal Jones if it was possible. And guess what, the Principal said yes. -Oh, right, my bad, you don't even know where it is. Sorry, my fault! I got too excited recounting my past. This is a very important moment after all-.
Our five geniuses had decided to set up their academy somewhere that was so amazingly perfect yet overlooked by everyone. Off the East Coast of Queensland, Australia, was an unseeming island called Fraser Island. It was very rich with world energy, but the native species there, especially dingoes, were somehow mutated, becoming beasts. These beasts never left Fraser Island but it was such a hassle to get them off that it was not worth the effort.
That is why no one had did anything there. It was still very primitive. So therefore, it was perfect. Brian had thought of relying upon his World in the Fang to overcome the obstacle of natural training obstacles, but he knew that too much people would then know about it, and it would be inconvenient with a lot of people.
Therefore, he had created a plan with the other 4 geniuses and shared it with professor Jones.
They were to create a large raised platform 5 km off the South West coast, which was also the area closest to the Australian mainland, something they needed to guard against. this raised platform would be in total 1km x 1km to start with, and they would increase it as time goes on, eventually taking up most of the south-western regions of the island. It would also, if necessary, be expanded underground in future
This 1x1km raised platform would be surrounded by a forcefield, which was the biggest current stable forcefield that Earth could generate. This would serve as a defense and deterrence mechanism towards the native animals.
Inside the force field would be the main campus, including the lecture halls, canteens, living quarters, training areas and the like. Our five geniuses had purposely chosen to not develop the main campus to take up all of the island as they knew that nature was the best teacher. Therefore, the rest of the island would be reserved for expeditions and training. That was also where the life-and-death contract came in. If they died, the School of Dreams could not be held accountable.
Because of this plan, the five geniuses had asked principal Jones if they could include the whole of Fraser island into their rule legally, and principal Jones had surprisingly said yes.
Principal Jones explained that this was actually extremely easy. City's on the East Coast of Australia were constantly requesting for the Academy to clear the Island, but to no avail. Therefore, if Principal Jones had declared that they would indirectly own the island, those cities would be very happy. Not only would this solve the imminent threat of invasion, it would also draw over the people who wanted to go to this new independent branch of the Academy. Altogether, it was a win-win situation.
Sorting this out, the five geniuses came together to discuss other matters. Logo, Slogan, Advertising, etc. (Note: Only after this did I realize that setting up a school awfully sounds like setting up a company. *Scratches head*)
Brian had said that other topics could be sorted out later, but what needed to be solved now was Advertising. That's right, advertising. Nothing else.
They needed to talk of all the risks as well as other problems that may occur.
What they especially needed to get across was their two rules.
For this, they came up with their slogan,
"Dream in Hell and Rule in Heaven"
This one line summarized everything they would work for.
With this, they were prepared.
Prepared to shock the world.
And so, after 2 months of labor and more logistics that almost slaughtered the geniuses through sheer weight of papers and holographic tablets, they were ready.
On the new year of 2303, 31st of October, Halloween, the School of Dreams was set up.
Everyone thought this was an inauspicious day. But what people didn't know was that this date shall forever be etched into the minds of all as the day the school that bred geniuses would be created. It was the day that Hell on Earth would be created. And those who walked out of it would be no less than monsters.
This was the day that changed the festival from the Halloween to Hell Day.
