Have you obtained the Academy’s clearance but lack manpower?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you want to rebuild the Academy or the departments?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there a difference? Who are you?\" Gu Xi asked, bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, there’s a difference!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are the deans of the Mysterious Academy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were the ones who brought you here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the three faces no longer spoke in unison, but each said their own piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly Gu Xi’s head felt like it was going to explode, he couldn’t understand what they were saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the three quickly realized something was wrong and swiftly discussed among themselves. Ultimately, one of them explained the situation to Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out that the Divine Hall in front was essentially a tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a rather advanced tomb at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here lay the deans who died in battle for the Mysterious Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They said several, but actually, it was just these three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Mysterious Academy has been established for many years. Most of the Academy’s deans retired with honors, only a few died in battle while holding the dean’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even died without leaving a body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the previous dean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So only three bodies were buried here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they were buried here, they were not supposed to respond anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Academy’s main building was sent into the rift of time and space, turning the whole Academy into its current state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura of death stimulated the three back to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were once deans, they had already died. After reviving, they had no privileges and could only remain here, watching the situation outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time they suddenly sensed Gu Xi’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, they saw some opportunities, at least a chance to leave this tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, using their last bit of Power, they brought Gu Xi over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to what they said, Gu Xi fell silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can grant you professor positions, but I assume that’s not all you’re after.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, we want to return to the position of deans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, that’s enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Department head would suffice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, the three had different thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi shrugged, his eyes clearly saying, you see, you can’t even unify your opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, while Gu Xi was silent, the three of them discussed it once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, they reached a consensus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Becoming department heads or deans again was out of the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi was only a department head now himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just wanted a professor position and, if possible, a body for easier movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these three deans shared some secrets of the Mysterious Academy with Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These secrets could facilitate Gu Xi in establishing new departments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Gu Xi was forming the departments, they would assist him as a form of repayment for the positions he granted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, their most important role at the moment was to help Gu Xi establish his own department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three had served as deans, they knew which privileges were useful and which were not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing Gu Xi’s plans, they each offered their opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-bearded one told Gu Xi that Karim and the others, when setting up the Academy, were hiding something from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of these were things Gu Xi must obtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t secure these privileges, even as a department head, he couldn’t rival the other department heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During their time as deans, they had seen many such situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Department heads could easily be sidelined by the deans, ending up with nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone Gu Xi, who planned to rebuild a department from scratch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were too many areas ripe for intervention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many things Gu Xi needed to acquire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-bearded one with the bowtie told Gu Xi that the department rankings in the Academy were not based on student enrollments or each department’s condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it was related to the architectural style of the Mysterious Academy and the Basic Skills content taught by the professors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the previous Mysterious Academy, because it was mainly focused on Human Knight style, the top-ranked department was actually the Crocodile Department, which taught Leadership Skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The department teaching Luck Skills was following the Elf Wind and had been suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the Mountain Leopard Department made a final counterattack, consuming the treasures of the other three departments, thereby changing everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time is actually another opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, regardless of what the other departments want to teach, the style will definitely lean towards the Undead Wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Gu Xi chooses the Soul Summoning Skill, a unique skill of the Undead Mage, then even a newly established department can become the Academy’s first department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Soul Summoning Skill is the foundation of an Undead Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an Undead Mage, you might not know poison, not play with bones, might not play with souls, but you cannot not know summoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Gu Xi, in this regard, has an advantage over the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karim and the others, although they have become Undead, have not yet adapted their thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, none of them had ever served as deans, unaware of the key points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They still thought department rankings were determined by something like an hourglass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave Gu Xi an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An opportunity to secure Soul Summoning Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Gu Xi seized this opportunity, his newly established department would become the first department, and he might even outpace Miranda, becoming the Academy’s vice-dean in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>",1115,"2026-06-10T07:09:16.026Z",1,"novelbin.me","0fa6a66a1d5b8a7b9d19e97b64b299aa95ab2eb4f4fd23084f794d6f4ddb529e","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-484","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-482",860,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fundead-mage-from-a-cell-cover.jpg"]
