Chapter-13 Treaty

Recently, the starnet has been very lively because of the upcoming big event. Not only are the people of the Galactic Alliance very excited for this occasion, but even the people of the Norex Empire are also very enthusiastic. 

The hottest entry on the Starnet is the opening ceremony of Azure Light Academy. There are already billions of individuals discussing this on various platforms.

[ I'm super excited for the opening ceremony! I've heard that a bunch of high-class dignitaries and aristocrats from different nations will be there.]

[ Same here! Ever since I found out about the new joint academy being built, I've been putting in a ton of effort to get in. Luckily, I passed the test and got my admission card!]

[No way! You actually passed? That's awesome! I couldn't even get through the first five questions!]

[Right? It was brutal! I was so stressed out I thought I might lose all my hair from the pressure.]

[LOL! Sucks for you guys. I didn't even have to hit the books; my brother's an elf, so he got in straight away and promised to take me to the ceremony.]

[Damn! Your brother is an elf!? That's awesome!]

[Hey, why is no one mentioning the Norex Empire? I heard the Emperor himself is going to be there!]

[ Oh, you mean the Devil Lord? Yeah, I've heard that too. I'm a bit scared to see him, but I'm also really curious about what that notorious tyrant looks like.]

[For sure! They say he has the highest mental power ever recorded, but apparently, he's pretty hideous. I have no idea what he actually looks like.]

[Seriously, why are we even talking about him? Haven't you heard about how bloodthirsty he is? I can't wrap my head around why anyone would want to see a guy who could take someone's life without a second thought.]

[I totally get that! I don't understand why the Galactic Alliance would want to make a deal with the Empire. We're strong enough on our own. I really don't want to see those ugly people from the Empire either.]

Many positive and negative comments were flying over the starnet like a tide.

"Teacher, some people still seem to hate the idea of cooperating with the Norex Empire." After reading all kinds of comments, Imanuel looked up at his teacher, who was still leisurely drinking tea.

Originally, he wanted to sort out everything quickly and then leave from the Capital planet. But today, he received a call from his teacher, so in the end, he came to this newly opened cafe to meet her.

"Hmm.. not only the people of the Alliance, but even the citizens of the Norex Empire are quite resistant to this decision. But it can't be helped..." Gabriel set her teacup down, her demeanour reflecting both wisdom and grace, a striking woman who seemed to have crossed the threshold of fifty. But, in reality, her age was almost reaching 500.

"Imanuel, you're aware of the circumstances surrounding the Norex Empire, aren't you?" She regarded her most cherished student with a warm, encouraging smile.

"As far as I know, the Norex Empire is definitely very powerful. However, the lack of an effective cure for mental outbursts is the biggest weakness of the empire." Imanuel replied, his tone steady and composed.

"But I don't think this is the reason why a treaty was signed between both nations." Imanuel looked at his teacher firmly with his beautiful crystal blue pupils.

"You are right. Everyone in the Alliance thinks that this treaty was signed because the Emperor of the Norex Empire did not want to fight against the Alliance. But, in reality, it is the Galactic Alliance that cannot face an enemy like Arwan Deimos De'Alessandro." Gabriel sighed deeply as she talked about this matter.

Imanuel narrowed his eyes at the mention of that name. He had also heard about his tyrannical deeds.

Arwan Deimos De'Alessandro, the current Emperor of the Norex Empire, single handedly over turned the rule of the previous monarch at the mere age of 30, becoming the youngest Emperor to rule over the Norex empire.

It is rumored that whenever he steps onto the battlefield, victory is all but guaranteed, a notion backed by the many nations that have fallen to the Norex Empire. Coupled with his unparalleled mental strength, which stands as the highest ever recorded, he is a force to be reckoned with.

"Arwan's arrival has disrupted the fragile balance that has persisted for thousands of years between the two nations. The scales now appear to lean towards the Norex Empire." Gabriel's expression was heavy as she spoke.

Ever since the Galactic Alliance was formed, their relationship with the Norex Empire has been that of sworn enemies. For thousands of years, both nations have been locked in a series of intense confrontations, with both sides demonstrating equal might and tenacity in their struggles.

However, since Arwan became emperor, the equal strength, which the Alliance boasted of, has now become one-sided.

"Teacher, You mean that if the Alliance goes all out against the Norex Empire now, they may not be able to win against it?"

"Yes. Not to mention that Allaince does need a strong ally at this time."

Imanuel frowned after hearing this," What does that mean, teacher?"

"You don't need to care about this matter. Just tell me if you're going to accept my offer or not." Gabriel obviously did not want to talk about this matter, so Imanuel did not probe any further.

"Teacher, my five year internship has not ended yet. So, I can neither join your research seminar nor do I have the qualification to enter the Azure Light Academy." Imanuel's voice was gentle when he spoke, but his rejection was firm.

Gabriel obviously understood her student better than anyone else," Imanuel, can't you even do this for your teacher? You see, so many people want to enter this research seminar, but I rejected all of them just to give you this chance."

Even after hearing this, Imanuel remained silent with a cold expression and rejection written all over his face.

Seeing his stubborn attitude, Gabriel gritted her teeth and decided to use her ultimate move, "Alright, if you won't go, then I'm not going either. Anyways, its not like they won't make any headway without me around."

Imanuel felt a headache when he saw his teacher's childish behaviour. In the end, he finally gave in like always, "Alright, I will go."

Gabriel's mood instantly become cheerful after hearing this, "Okay, then I will talk with your hospital's dean about your transfer, you should deal with everything quickly and join me at least two days before the Seminar."

"And yeah, don't forget to make some preparations in advance cause' there will be many authoritative people who will come to. this seminar. I will send the material to your terminal later."

"Oh! By the way, bring that kid Zereth with you, isn't he an elf. You need an assistant there, so it will be better if you are familiar with the other party." When it comes to her precious student, Gabriel can always chatter endlessly.

And as her cherished student, Imanuel nodded obediently, keeping all her instructions in mind.
