He was wearing a set of heavy armor, about the size of an average person, with a longsword hanging at his waist, two more longwords on his back, and holding a two-handed heavy sword in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious that he was not of the mage type of profession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gu Xi quickly figured it out: when he first came in, no one ever said the Mysterious Academy had to only be a Magic Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a situation as this was normal; after all, which mage would voluntarily go learn the Leadership Skill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind someone like him, an Undead Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was extremely rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thick-Armored Skeleton Swordsman arrived, and their team was finally complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief introduction, this one was called Canaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Sword Saint among Sword Saints from the Crocodile Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others only wielded one longsword, but he held four in his hands alone, not counting the ones yet unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, he was the strongest in swordsmanship within the Crocodile Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon appearing, he immediately said, \"I want to take over the Crocodile Department in the future, but I won’t teach the Leadership Skill anymore. I want to teach the Attack Skill and follow the War Fanatic route afterwards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi, now quite knowledgeable, could infer all sorts of information from others’ words in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[War Fanatic: Standard Advanced Skill, increases both minimum and maximum damage values of subordinate creatures by 1.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an ability was directly used to enhance the attack power of subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with the Attack Skill also boosting soldiers’ attack power, it was clear he aimed to stack the attack attributes of soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having observed Canaster’s abilities, it was evident his strength lay in his swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Gu Xi was observing Canaster, the latter also noticed Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the others were well-known figures within the Mysterious Academy, while Gu Xi was clearly a newcomer, and also a living human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, Gu Xi, not even at level 5, dared to step up as a department head in the Mysterious Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took some audacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Canaster took a closer look at Gu Xi to see what he was capable of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While sizing up Gu Xi, Calimduo began outlining their plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plan was divided into two steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step one: take out the Black-robed Skeleton Naviduo, and seize the permissions allocated to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To complete the first step, they needed to remove Naviduo’s wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This involved dealing with nearly twenty enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were three of Naviduo’s professors, seven of his teaching staff, who had been by Naviduo’s side since the Academy incident, under his protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These individuals would also fight for Naviduo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the Netherworld Phoenix Cavalry who had previously attacked Gu Xi was one of the teaching staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Vega, who had tried to negotiate with Gu Xi earlier, was under Miranda’s authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there were Naviduo’s pets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were his research results, and Karimduo wasn’t sure how many there were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only certainty was that previously, when they encountered Naviduo in action, they had taken down a Skeleton Giant Beast, another being the colossal skeleton protecting Naviduo at the burial site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For prudence, they accounted for five entities inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lastly, there were the teaching staff who had covertly sided with Naviduo or were forced to due to permissions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These teaching staff were the backbone of the Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not numerous, they held significant positions, such as the late Madam Sha, who was the sole librarian of the Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, doctors from the Medical Wing, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might not belong to a specific department but due to certain matters, they had close ties with one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karimduo had a grasp of such individuals, not counting those they could bring to their side or didn’t need to fight, reducing the number to less than five they really needed to battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So thorough calculation and comparison were necessary, needing to deal with twenty enemies before hitting Naviduo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of Naviduo’s enemies were with him, some were apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave them a chance for separate attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calimduo and Miranda pointed them out one by one, while the oil painting professor sat by, watching the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Canaster suddenly said, \"Oh, I understand now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statement immediately attracted everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi raised his head slightly, puzzled, \"What have you understood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ring on your right hand is Orange Armor. I was wondering, how could a level 4 have the qualifications to be a department head at the Mysterious Academy? Turns out you have backing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this guy brainless? At a time like this, still thinking about this? Could mixing with such a group truly win?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, Gu Xi nodded, \"Yes, an orange ring; why, do you not have Orange Armor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Gu Xi’s tone, everyone, including the oil painting professor, was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted Orange Armor too, but was Orange Armor easy to obtain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many level 20 big shots didn’t even have Orange Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, sporting a full set of Purple at level ten, or a few pieces with weak negative effects, was considered an achievement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing about Orange Armor, they glanced more at the ring on Gu Xi’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, no one reacted much; even Canaster, who brought it up, didn’t question the effect of Orange Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ordinary people’s eyes, Orange Armor had been mythologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who possessed Orange Armor were considered significant figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were even rumors that even a level 1 novice could slay a god with Orange Armor in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After briefly moving past this topic, they resumed discussing their strategy against Naviduo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, making a move couldn’t mean entirely splitting up to tackle Naviduo’s subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Naviduo wasn’t foolish; if he sensed something was wrong, he’d surely act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, part of these enemies was with Naviduo, only seven or eight were outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Calimduo turned to look at Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Gu, those few enemies outside, how about you handling them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi gave Calimduo a look, \"Sure, but what about permissions? Don’t expect me to bring these guys down and have none of my department’s permissions in the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That won’t happen; the four major departments have corresponding permissions clearly divided since the establishment of the Mysterious Academy. Every department head has five permissions, clearly documented, with no omissions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi stared at Calimduo for a moment, finally reaching to take the target map.\u003C\u002Fp>",1106,"2026-06-10T07:09:16.026Z",1,"novelbin.me","be4d75a71486fe03fd65e6b27577f1734671463ca5b53235ed7918800d25fc9f","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-473","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-471",860,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fundead-mage-from-a-cell-cover.jpg"]
