Chapter 1350 Alignment
As the people within the virtual space moved around, three distinct groups formed.
A large group behind Indra, a small group behind Shiva, and an even smaller one behind Kisuke. Unlike Indra's and Shiva's, however, the people behind Kisuke took some distance from him.
"This would look like we're not accepting him as part of the neutral ones," Shemhazai muttered softly.
"It's fine." Michael reassured him with a smile, "He gave me a word that he won't be staying neutral this time."
"!?" Sirzechs, Shemhazai, and those around them exclaimed, "Isn't that dangerous? If the Ouroboros Academy takes a side now, it's going to be an all-out war!" Shemhazai nervously said. Although Ouroboros Academy is not as big as the other top factions, its members are all top class and they have a huge sway among the grassroots regardless of their affiliations and races as the Academy is the one uplifting and making them capable of adapting to these dangerous times.
'If the Ouroboros Academy takes action now, there's no way of knowing how large their 'army' is. And with the increasing dissatisfaction with the leader classes, they might even pull out a major chunk of other factions' forces.' Shemhazai shivered at this thought and this is why he was so sure that an all-out war would instantly spark if they joined in.
This is also why the other factions are so apprehensive of Ouroboros Academy. While they are a very small group on the surface, their reach is far more than they could ever imagine when they first heard of Sona Sitri setting up an educational institution.
If they knew that it would come to this, they would have never allowed their 'citizens' to set foot on that floating island, thinking that they'd have convenient soldiers in the future. When they realized what the Ouroboros Academy was truly doing, it was already too late. They ignored their own base because they had the power to control them but now that same base is now threatening their position.
No one thought that their education would be that good.
