Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 395 - 135: Figures of Generations Past_2

Not only did they acquire and invest in a tremendous amount of assets during the war, but they also had significant influence at the Federal Center. Many of the military orders issued by the Federal Congress, supported projects, and granted funds would be completed through their hands.

For example, the military ships and other materials designated for purchase in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain would typically be awarded to enterprises related to the ’Royalist Faction’. The projects supported by the Federal Center, like those dedicated to addressing pollution issues, would also be delegated to their affiliated companies to undertake the remediation tasks.

When it rains, many people get wet, but those who sell umbrellas are happy, and many in the Royalist Faction play the role of the umbrella sellers.

The funds supported by the Federal Center for the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain over the years had mostly flowed into their pockets, and naturally, the leading group did not hope for the rain to stop.

However, even within the ’Royalist Faction’, interests were not uniform, and not all members played the role of umbrella sellers.

The investments that many groups and families initially made in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain decreased in value due to the worsening environment and economic downturn. They naturally did not want this situation to continue, thus internal discord slowly emerged. This time, the Federal Center dispatched a High Rank inspector to investigate corruption in the pollution treatment, which was propelled by their behind-the-scenes efforts.

Originally, all the evidence and materials were almost ready, but nobody expected that the critical hydrological data stored at Saint Ingo Academy would vanish on the eve of the inspector’s arrival, causing intense dissatisfaction among part of the Royalist Faction and thus igniting the spark for this conflict.

Saint Ingo Academy is the foremost educational and scientific research institution in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain, with excellent security. Reports and materials from over the years are typically stored here. No one anticipated that such a theft of data could suddenly occur, nor did they believe it to be an accident.

Not all data are the same; if one truly needed a piece of data, it could be fabricated by an advanced AI simulating the existing environment. But the hydrological data stored there contained the cryptographic signatures of past investigators and certifications from various institutions, which verified the authenticity of those materials and rendered them suitable as evidence.

The disappearance of this critical comparative data, essentially the evidence, had a tremendous impact on the entire case investigation. Its loss also completely triggered internal conflicts within the Royalist Faction, and the clash among the students was the result of these intensified disputes.

In the footage, representatives from both groups of students were unable to persuade each other, and their family backgrounds made both the teachers and the responding police wary. Eventually, emotions spilled over, and impulsivity led to them starting a fight.

Injuries, bloodshed, pain—in the stimulus of that chaotic scene, the previously restrained sides soon went all out, their moves growing more and more fierce until someone was gravely injured or killed.

The sight of blood brought the students back to their senses, and the arrival of the armed riot troops forced the students to cease the fight.

Subsequently, due to the fragmentation of the Royalist Faction’s major groups that had congregated at Saint Ingo Academy, some broke away to establish a new academy, attracting allies from all sides and beginning to contend with Saint Ingo. This was the origin and beginning of Edith Academy.

Although the establishment and departure from Edith Academy greatly weakened Saint Ingo, the vested interest factions and most of the neutral factions stayed, ensuring that Saint Ingo’s strength remained the first in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain.

After the video ended, Amors brought over the brewed coffee, handed a cup to Tilan, and then seated himself on the sofa in front of her.

"After watching, don’t you feel somewhat moved? We and Saint Ingo Academy originally came from the same source."

"In the era of Transcendent powers, academies that can nurture the next generation into High Rank Transcendents have always been of utmost concern to the upper echelons. After all, no matter how much wealth one has, if there is no power to match it, it’s hard to feel secure."

"For this reason, major group powers all have their own educational institutions or sponsored academies."

"Ordinary people think this is merely a contest between a few academies for the first and second positions, but they don’t understand the deeper power struggles behind it."

"Although the students from these top six academies only account for a tiny portion of their peers in the star domain, statistics show that 60% of the young people from the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain who go to the top hundred universities in the federation come from these six academies."

"In today’s times, one’s Transcendent Rank and university background can almost determine most people’s future. These six high schools, holding the tickets to the highest institutions, have gathered attention from all sides. They have the best educational resources and are the most fiercely competitive venues, especially in an era where Transcendent powers can genuinely extend life and change one’s destiny."

"Many people make every effort, pouring in countless energies into training, participating in competitions, and seeking letters of recommendation from celebrities, all to get into these six academies and then secure the tickets to the next stage, to a higher ladder. This hardship is something many students from privileged backgrounds cannot comprehend."

"Although there are many students from wealthy families in the academy, those who truly uphold the academy’s reputation and strength are the hardworking geniuses who have emerged from the vast sea of people."

"Perhaps you find some of your classmates to be quite ordinary and unknown, but if you were to visit their middle schools, you would realize that they were once renowned talents and celebrities in their local areas."

"We and the other five academies select the finest from the entire Star Domain and represent the essence of excellence. It is natural for us to excel, so we shouldn’t compare our performance with students from other academies outside; doing so could easily lead to prideful complacency and gradually result in slackening."
