Foisted it on him?
No, Theo had outright saddled him with it without him even realizing!
Still, Damien didn't hold any resentment toward him.
If he ever did decide to step down, he resolved to find new positions for Leonide, Zima, Ithnan, and everyone else before leaving his title behind.
With that decision was made, Damien returned his focus to the issue of hiring staff for the dormitory.
One idea came to mind.
"Maybe I should visit that slave trader again?" Damien suggested.
In this world, he wasn't sure how else to recruit people.
The first thought that came to him was the frog-like slave trader who had introduced him to Zima and the others.
There might be other skilled people there.
"That's a practical idea," Theo agreed. "When there's an urgent need for people, buying slaves is a common solution."
Considering that, Damien could understand why having slaves at the academy wasn't considered unusual.
