The Absolute: Humanity's Second Chance

Chapter 174 Draft of Th3 Silver Institution

From there, the two of them silently appreciated the beauty of the territories they passed through as they went outside the city's influence.

Cities... were quite unique in this age.

As said, a city with tens of millions of individuals had the right to be called a nation. And thus, to properly manage it, it was separated into regions that are ruled by nobles.

But for these territories to be considered a single city, meant that they were not that far away from each other.

In fact, the distance between each territory, was less than half an hour away by carriage. When speeding, it was less than ten minutes.

And as each territory was different, being unique, the whole city felt fresh. Fiona couldn't help but marvel as they went through territory after territory under the noble's rule.

And the people also marveled as the royal coach of Avarice sped past them within the streets.

Of course, being alerted before hand, the streets were emptied, with many commoners crowded on the sides as they watched in awe.

Meanwhile, the nobles were relaxed. Without a declaration of visit beforehand, even Adonis had no right to suddenly barge into their territories.

Thus, seeing the royal coach speed by, they knew that he was only passing by. So they did not bother preparing to welcome him, or panic about any of their businesses.

"..."

Soon enough, the royal coach went through a couple of territories before arriving at the border territories located at the edge of Avarice.

From here, the royal coach would travel for more than an hour west of Avarice, towards the construction site.

"Haah, the journey will be boring from now on." Fiona commented, as from here to the construction site, was a vast plain that stretched forth for long distances.

"Hehehe..." Adonis awkwardly chuckled to himself, as he suddenly felt like Fiona would focus solely onto him now.

"..."

And indeed, the crimson haired beautiful princess set her eyes on him as soon as she heard his chuckle.

And to his expectations, she smiled seeing his nervousness. Another opportunity represented itself to her!!

'Come lord Adonis, let us have fun getting to know each other more~' She thought, her eyes smiling along with her.

"..."

Meanwhile, Adonis sighed to himself. This ride... will be an arduous one for him. He set his eyes on Fiona, and just so happened to see her jubilant mood ascend.

'...Yeah.' He totally succumbed to his fate.

At the same time, far ahead of them, within the construction site, the atmosphere today was a bit too active.

Within the large region that had giant pillars stretch hundreds of meters towards the skies, creating a skeletal structure of a behemoth, was sorounded by sweaty men and women going about here and there.

The noise being unique, rivaling the busiest areas of noble territories, the market place or the CBD zone.

And within this place, a single flower that stood out, oversaw the whole construction site.

With a pure white robe covering her whole body, that contrasted the blue attire of the workers, and a large white sunny hat over her head, she stood there with a smile.

Her silver-black hair dancing under the gentle breeze of the area, with her heterochromic black and blue eyes surveying the giant metallic pillars planted onto the ground.

"Hmm~" She silently gazed up at the skeletal figure of what her husband-to-be, was planning on creating.

So far, the skeletal figure only constituted of the first layer, which was three hundred and fifty meters wide on all sides.

After staring at Damien's plan, she ultimately convinced him not to build five towers, but instead one at the center, where they will use to build a city around it.

The layer above, will be 20% smaller than the one below. Thus ultimately, the highest layer will still be fifty meters wide regardless.

And as she proposed to use the first layer as the accommodation center for the future learners, it's wide size would allow for more learners.

'Even if each room was 8*8 square meters, we could still have a total of almost 2,000 rooms. Then, if we squeeze in two students in each, that's almost 4,000 learners in total...' She thought to herself, as her eyes surveyed the construction progress.

'But for a nation of 250+ million individuals, that's too few, isn't it?' She further thought, a frown appearing on her face.

"..."

But after a moment of thought, she remembered that learners would be separated into three grades. Those in the First League would be "Bronze Students", and considered just the bottom rung. They will stay in pairs of two.

Those in the Second League would be considered "Silver Students", which are the middle group. They will also stay in pairs, but one a student, and the other a personal servant assigned to them.

And finally, the "Gold Students", which are quite high on the apparatus. They were also those in the Third League. And will stay by themselves, with a minimum number of two servants at the same stage.

And each of these three grades were divided into three categories, One Star, Two Stars, and Three Stars, to show which realm you were at each student category.

"He also said the first three layers will be directed to each student category. The lowest being the Bronze Accommodation Centre, while the third layer will be the Gold Accommodation Centre... This way, we can have more students." Her thoughts continued.

A maximum of ten thousand students.

With this, they could finally squeeze in ten thousand students within the Institution. The personal servants being included as well.

"..."

Meaning that one in over 25+ thousand beings would be eligible to attend the Silver Institution, which was not bad, truthfully speaking.

"Hmm... I can also increase the size of each individual layer from within. If I obtain Space mastery, I can probably increase it by twenty times at my current level." She sighed to herself.

With the size increased, each student accommodation centre could have its own cafeteria, their own relaxing rooms, training rooms, etc.

As for increasing the quotation of students?

Juliette was fine with this much. One in over twenty-five thousand people still showed how much rare it would be to enter her Institution.

"Plus, it's not like we are going to be teaching common knowledge here." She added, a sigh escaping her lips.

And just as she was about to continue planning more anout their dream, a well dressed person came behind her and respectfully greeted her. "Lady Silver, his highness, sir Adonis, and her highness, lady Fiona, have arrived."

She said, and Juliette nodded in understanding. "Alright, let us go meet up with them then." Then added a moment later.

"Should I not usher them here instead, my lady? Since you will be returning to this very location anyway." The maidservant in a black and white, mostly white, maid outfit, suggested.

She was one of the maids working within the Silver mansion. And one close to Juliette as well. A part time personal maid if you may.

"Oh." And realizing such, Juliette blankly nodded her head. "You're right Sasha. Please escort them this side, I'll wait." She added with a smile.

"Yes, my lady." The lady called Sasha nodded, and left. She was one of the most talented warriors of the Silver mansion. And also the shadow of Juliette.

Though not as talented as members of the Gray House, she was not bad. And gaining teachings from Sixth, Ninth and Damien himself, made her a terrifying force to reckon with.

Hell, even Juliette taught her about the weaknesses of mages and spell casters. In essence, Sasha was quite the force.

Assassination. Battle. Information gathering. Scouting. In such a short time, she was advanced in all said areas.

"...Such a talent. Did Damien pick her because he knew something about her?" Juliette thought to herself, as she immediately cleared out her thoughts about the Silver Institution.

With her guests here, it was time to focus on what was more important.

Luckily, she did not have to wait for long, as Sasha returned with both Adonis and Fiona in tow, both admiring the skeletal structure of the to be Silver Institution.

But as soon as Fiona saw her extremely lucky friend, she immediately bloomed into a jubilant rose that dashed towards her.

"Juliette..!!" She called out happily.

"Fifi." Juliette also responded in joy, as she caught the rushing Fiona into her embrace.

One red, one white. A fiesty rose, and a gentle lily.

The sorounding workers couldn't help but pause what they were doing, just to appreciate the beauty of the two young ladies embracing each other.

But moments later, feeling the cold glare of their supervisor, Emily, they hurriedly went back to work. 'Lazy bastards. You don't even stand a chance, so why bother?' She wondered to herself.

Yes, Juliette was an extremely beautiful girl, way out of this world. But there was Damien, an equally handsome man out of this world.

As for Fiona, though she paled compared to Juliette, she was an extremely beautiful girl herself. Yet when looking at the young man she came with...

'Yup. You bastards don't stand a chance.' She concluded, focusing back on work.
