Chapter 144: A Week’s Reprieve
Hearing the Principal’s final validating words his public agreement with the Emperor Adam simply smiled.
He looked up at the old man on the stage. "Thank you very much Principal for granting me this much leeway," he said.
His voice was respectful but it was also filled with an unshakeable confidence that was almost startling.
"Within one week the Emperor’s signature will be in my possession. The document will be here officially sanctioning our new group. I give you my personal guarantee." He made it sound like a simple task a small errand he had to run.
The Principal took a deep breath. A flicker of amusement showed in his ancient eyes. He was clearly intrigued by this boy’s incredible self-assurance.
He then turned his attention to the entire student body in the vast auditorium.
His voice once again resonated throughout the hall reaching every corner.
"I want to make this clear to all students here today," he announced.
His gaze swept over the four factions of upperclassmen the Red Blue Black and Golden groups his eyes lingering on them for a moment.
"The new group The New Warriors which has not yet been permanently established is not to be harassed by any of you for this one week. It is not yet fully formed so you will leave them be. There will be no attacks no intimidation. This is a period of truce."
This was a subtle but very clear warning to everyone. The Principal knew that the four established groups would not allow a new rival faction to form easily.
