Chapter 365 - 364. Prosperous Dusk City
Elite Academy of Magic and Technology
The transformation of the Elite Academy of Magic and Technology was nothing short of extraordinary.
Once a silent, almost forgotten institution tucked away on the outskirts of Dusk City, the academy had now become lively. The lonely corridors that once echoed with the wind were now alive with chatter, footsteps, and the occasional explosion from magical experiments gone wrong. Students of all backgrounds, from nobles of high-standing clans to wandering geniuses with no family name, filled the classrooms, lecture halls, and training grounds, eager to pursue knowledge in both Prana Arts and modern technology.
This massive resurgence wasn’t a miracle—it was the result of Tyler White’s vision and investment.
The academy now employed some of the most skilled and respected teachers in the Boundless World. Many of them had left prestigious positions at other sects and institutions, lured by one irresistible fact: the pay was absolutely insane. The salaries offered were far above the standard, and the resources provided for research and experimentation were practically limitless. Most of these teachers were now fiercely loyal to the academy, treating it as their home and vowing to help it rise to the top.
One of the key figures in this new era was Hawk, who had been appointed as the Vice Principal of the academy. Hawk really took care of almost everything when Tyler was not around.
As for the Principal, her presence was far more enigmatic. The elusive Serena, known in hushed whispers as the "Holographic Witch," never appeared in person. Instead, she taught her classes through advanced holographic projections, projecting a near-lifelike image of herself into lecture halls. Her magic-infused AI lectures were so seamless that many first-year students didn’t even realize she wasn’t physically present. Some speculated that she wasn’t even in the Boundless World at all, but operating from a floating island or a secret base hidden somewhere in another dimension. Whatever the case, her knowledge was undeniable, and her lessons left even the brightest students humbled.
Beyond the walls of the academy, Dusk City had undergone a complete metamorphosis.
Once a city plagued by failing infrastructure, and declining population, it had risen like a phoenix from its ashes. The old abandoned amusement park on the east end of the city was Bought by Tyler White for a suspiciously low price, it was quickly renovated and rebranded as Dreamscape Park. With enchanting rides powered by prana, light shows cast by illusionists, and floating snack stalls run by golems , the park became a favorite destination for tourists from across the continent. Children rode sky-drakes through illusion tunnels, while couples took romantic starlit boat rides through artificial lakes under aurora spells.
Alongside the park, the city’s tram system—once creaky, slow, and constantly breaking down—was completely replaced. Using advanced magi-tech arrays and hover-rail tracks, the new trams glided silently across the city, connecting every district with unmatched speed. Funded entirely by Tyler’s White Merchant Group, the public transportation project earned the gratitude of the masses and the quiet admiration of infrastructure specialists from every major city.
Even the City Lord had become lap dog for Tyler.
