It was a symbol of holiness and compassion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden tilted his head slightly, gazing up at the statue with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Majestic, with just a hint of benevolence, showcasing the Savior's valor. Truly worthy of reverence...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the statue depicted none other than himself—Saint Eden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its full title was the \"Emperor-Appointed Sole Savior, the Great and Merciful Saint Eden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faith thrived on two essential pillars: a compelling image and ceremonial gravitas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vivid, awe-inspiring image etched itself into people's minds, while intricate rituals disciplined their thoughts and actions, eventually becoming instinctual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together, these elements cemented belief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why the Imperium built monumental wonders, erected statues, and devised elaborate ceremonies—to fortify thecorrectfaith and prevent minds from wandering toward the unthinkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, such practices preserved control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Urth had entered a stable period, spreading faith in the Emperor-Appointed Savior had become a top priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rallying behind the Emperor's banner was an unassailable claim to legitimacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Eden didn't seize this moral high ground, others would—and with it, they'd feed him explosive rounds from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Eden ensured he held both righteousness and might, enabling Urth to thrive in the grim galaxy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, one delicate issue remained: balancing faith in the Emperor with faith in Eden as the Savior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After numerous trials, Eden found a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor's image would remain supreme but abstract, devoid of specific form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, atop Eden's statue was a radiant Holy Sun, symbolizing the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor guided the Savior to his divine path, uniting their purpose yet maintaining distinction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across Urth, outside of churches and select areas, it was Eden's statues—not the Emperor's—that adorned the landscape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Ecclesiastical Codex, wherever Eden's statue appeared, the Holy Sun must accompany it, symbolizing their inseparable unity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dual-faith model addressed the complexities of faith propagation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, such a doctrine risked conflict with Terra's Ecclesiarchy and other Imperial cults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ideological clashes were inevitable. The Ecclesiarchy itself was riddled with schisms, often resolved through \"physical debates\" that left the opposing side... nonfunctional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, survival depended on cunning and strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden trusted Bishop Doni to handle these disputes, especially since the fiery old man seemed eager to confront the Ecclesiarchal establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the hovercar approached the statue, Eden was greeted by Baruch, the Loyalist Academy's vice-principal and son of Bayev.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bayev, as principal, had devoted himself to internal administration after helping establish the academy. Day-to-day operations were left to Baruch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baruch stood respectfully, his demeanor cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Governor, welcome to the academy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden stepped out of the car, glancing at Baruch. The man's hairline had receded significantly since their last meeting, a testament to his challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surveying the statue and surroundings, Eden nodded approvingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad. You've done well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden's leadership philosophy was simple: praise liberally unless there were mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baruch's face lit up with pride, and he gestured toward an academy sightseeing vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Allow me to show you around, Governor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden's visit had no particular agenda; he simply wanted to inspect the academy's progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Loyalist Academy's status had grown considerably, now serving as Urth's premier talent incubator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting from childhood, it trained students to become elites across various fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The academy occupied a fifth of the upper hive's land, an area equivalent to a massive city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the world's multi-layered architecture, the actual usable space rivaled that of a small nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While still expanding, the academy had already established its foundational structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike its Imperial counterpart, Urth's Loyalist Academy was independent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Imperium, such academies were under the Ecclesiarchy, adopting orphans and subjecting them to harsh training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Urth's academy, however, accepted not only orphans but also the children of nobles, officials, and gifted individuals. It was a comprehensive educational hub—a planetary flagship institution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the academy's banner operated dozens of specialized schools, hosting tens of millions of staff and students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prominent schools included:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeptus Astartes Academy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Army Academy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Navy Academy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sisterhood Academy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Administrative Academy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mechanicus Construction Academy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Biogenetics Academy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psychic Network Programming Academy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each school offered specialized training to produce targeted talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The academy consumed roughly 10% of Urth's total resources, reflecting its significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It maintained strong ties with major institutions, often inviting top officials and leaders to teach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graduates were guaranteed placements in related organizations, eliminating the risk of unemployment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exceptional students earned citizen status even before graduation, with the most gifted entering Urth's inner circle of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The academy's rigorous elimination system ensured only the best succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To minimize casualties, Eden implemented a regulation capping training-related fatalities at 5%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dismissed students faced societal shame for wasting such a golden opportunity, with repercussions extending to their families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sightseeing vehicle toured the expansive academy, Eden marveled at its scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This could be the setting for a classic academy novel,\" he mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a story, the protagonist—an underdog brimming with talent—would pass the academy's trials, shock peers, and excel in tournaments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grand finale would feature a grueling graduation assessment in the lower hive, monitored by the elites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our protagonist would emerge victorious, wowing spectators and securing a heroic future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden chuckled at the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After surveying key academy buildings, Eden requested to observe a class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he arrived at a classroom where a Sister of Battle was teaching a lesson titled \"Loyalty and Virtue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Check Out My Patreon For +20 Extra Chapters On All My Fanfics!!
