"My name is Isidore Linn, supreme counselor in the first region for those who don't know, it is a critical day for all of us. The seventh king asked for all the people who leveled up to be transported to Emperium immediately and with no exceptions.
The seven regions have voted on the elimination of Delwias Island from the leveling up system as it is slowly drawn into the world beyond.
The last reports coming from the expedition that explores the world beyond showed a lot of irregularities, we are saving people who are worth saving, the weak ones are not welcomed in higher regions. Think of it as if you are going to be intruding into those regions at least you should look good.
We have to keep the balance of this world, nor the history or the resources allow us to take any burden with us there…Delwias Island is officially out of the system."
Isidore sighed before continuing:" This is for the best!"
A woman started to cry from the crowd, she was already sealed, people recognised her when they heard her voice. She was a teacher in the institution and to act like that she got a lot of attention when she started to say with a shaken voice:``I have a kid here! i have a kid here …my husband …i have a family …i have to stay with my family…i can't leave them behind when you say that we have to leave..irregularities !…we had those a few times in the past …we can survive this mister Linn".
" I think it is time to show you what I meant by irregularities!"His voice was so calm to an annoying amount and his face didn't change expressions as he snapped his fingers and a blue screen appeared in front of all that crowd.
It didn't look like something from this region to be sure, it looked way advanced to the people here even for the teachers who chose to Descend from Emperium.
The screen was so big that everyone in that hall got to see the content and said :" Those who came from district four could confirm that there was an awakening of a dormant volcano that caused a lot of damage" .
The screen at that moment showed the volcano he mentioned and the destruction in region four, burned houses, people injured, dead ones, poverty at its peak, dead animals, burned forests, if it wasn't for the help of region one and the royal guards, that volcano would have left no one in that place.
" You all know that traveling between districts is a long process because Delwias Island is spacious region compared to the other regions and there for, the seventh king allowed the creation of teleportation states that brought all of you here today fastly"
Isidore didn't change the tone of his speech; he was talking as if he was lecturing all of them.
ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm The screen changed after that to show the picture of the flood in region five and all the suffering that people had to overcome there.
" This is another irregularity, if it wasn't for our help they could have been dead, like …all of them"Isidore added.
The woman was till crying and acting hysterically, she kept saying:" My baby …bring me my family"
One of the guards put a sealing spell on her lips to silence her so that the supreme counselor could finish his speech comfortably.
Isidore looked at her for a brief moment and without compassion, then leaned more towards the railing and said:" You will get further information when you get Emperium".
A man walked through the crowds to get closer to the front so that he would be noticed by the counselor despite being coughed by the sealing spell, his appearance was very disturbing, his face was full of bruises.
One of the teachers who was standing next to him said in a loud surprised voice:" Mister Lautner, what happened to your face? How did this happen to you ?"
"YOU JUST CAN'T FORCE US TO LEVEL UP WITH YOU? THIS SHOULD BE OPTIONAL, WHAT KIND OF SYSTEM IS THIS'"Lautner yelled while looking at the supreme counselor.
A few guards ran towards him to stop him from talking, but looking at them from afar it looked like the beginning of a rebellion.
That's why the counselor raised his hand and ordered the guards to leave him alone, then said:" Optional! it is the king's order"
" MY FAMILY ..I CANNOT LEAVE THEM"
"The same family you left every triple full moon?Don't be a hypocrite!All of you "Isidore said to them, then he turned around closing all sorts for a conversation followed by those higher mages.
Later on, Lautner was dragged to the corner to be with all of those who were against going back to Emperium".
Jivan was sitting at the ground with Adelita sitting next to him, her head leaning towards his shoulder, she was unconscious all the time, some recognized her and kept looking at her because her state looked very suspicious.
A few of her colleagues reached out to Jivan and even asked him if the guards did something to her, as they all knew that she wouldn't be here without resistance.
Adelita was known for her desire to stay here and to see her there unconscious made them sure that she was forced to be here.
That hall filled with people from the five districts looked like a boiling pot, all of them were either teachers, workers, guards,or those 30 people who leveled up yesterday.
One woman just reached for a guard and started to talk to him with despair:" Aren't you all just like us? Why are you treating us like this? You all have families around here, how come all of you forgot that"
That guard she was talking to, said with a calm voice: " Return to your place madam, there is no room for negotiation, they could charge you with treason, back off…and keep your mouth shut ..okay!"
