"Isn’t that agreement a bit way too easygoing?" Rong asked in the System Channel chat now they officially have access to it.

"OOOOOOOO! Hi Guys!" Claire said in a very cheerful manner even though her expression was stoic right in front of them. "You all finally have access to the System! Congrats!"

"What? You mean this System Channel thingy is not filtered and everyone can listen in?" Rong nearly spit his food out when he heard Claire talking through the channel. Lian and Lein tried to cover up Rong’s expression by asking him to eat slower and even gave a cup of water for him to drink.

"Not exactly, you can have specific people to listen into your channel but you have to tweak it a little. If you don’t know how, I can show it to you later." Claire said as she stared at Rong with a weak smile, also telling him to ease with the food intake. "There is enough food for everyone, you don’t have to rush." Claire commented while putting a piece of boiled pork into Rong’s bowl.

"But yes, I did think Ma Ge answered way too conveniently, any kind of hidden agenda, some conspiracy?" Lian decided to try out the System Channel too.

"Eh... Banzai to the System?" Jin replied while he too was able to remain engaged with the current discussion between the JODE Executive Officers.

"Holy shit, you mean the System managed to influence him and Su Zhen’s mother?" Rong was shocked once more and this time he accidentally knocked his knee to the table which prompted all eyes on him again.

"I am sorry, I am sorry." Rong said and decided he should just keep quiet for the moment since he was not able to keep a straight face with all the developments behind the scenes.

"Don’t worry. I am sure you are equally excited to hear that Instructor Yuan is able to take the post of the First Principal for the newest JODE Academy." Ma Ge laughed and the rest followed suit even though it’s a little forced.

"Does that mean I am able to choose my own teachers and lecturers?" Grandma Yuan asked and the officers nodded their heads in unison once more.

"No one else is more qualified than you are and with this ’promotion’, I believe it is a suitable compensation for your so called early retirement as instructor." Lee Na added and later they found out from Claire through the System Channel that although Grandma Yuan is the hero for saving hundreds and thousands of lives, it was not her call to use the young Demon Exorcists to fight the Bone Spirits despite her being an overall in charge.

It was ironic but it was mainly because in technical terms, Grandma Yuan was supposed to be there as an overseer and not someone who commands the frontlines. Instead, she overstepped her authority as the overseer of the current mission and went forth with the defence of the border cities. Hence, the organisation required a scapegoat to appease the families for removing her instructorship and requesting her for an early retirement since there were no other available posts for the Heroine of the Border Cities.

But now that that JODE Academy dimensional instance is going to be up and running, the organisation finally has the chance to use this excuse albeit a risky one depending on how the public relations department was going to handle it. Also, Chancellor Ma Ge is someone who did not like to take unnecessary risks and preferred to handle his term of Chancellorship with as little controversy as possible.

Yet, things changed when he entered the System. Both Lee Na and Ma Ge had been partially influenced by the System without them knowing. A classic trick in the Dungeon Supplier’s books but a very effective one. It was to the point that Jin even named the current room they were in as "Fortune Changes with the Wind". Most people assumed that these named rooms were just for Feng Shui purposes but many did not know that whenever Jin conducted his bargains and negotiations in this particular room, it had always been in his favour.

"This particular compensation is not sufficient until the Academy has what it takes to provide the best for each and every student. And that includes the likes of my batch of students here in this room. No more discrimination and everyone and the same opportunity to learn no matter what." Grandma Yuan said.

"Instructor Yuan, if you can provide me with a list of items that need to be procured, I should be able to work out the numbers and give you a possible estimation for your budget." Jin said and Lee Na looked at him with great interest.

"You sure? From what I believed, our suppliers have been giving us rather competitive prices. Also, I do not believe some of the items that Instructor- no I am sorry, Principal Yuan needs are available in the current market." Lee Na said and Jin smiled gently.

"If there is not much of a problem for you, we can compare prices and perhaps, I can procure some of the stuff. But if it is because it’s a wholesale offer with restricted items to boot, then I would leave it in your capable hands." Jin replied,

"Lee Na, give him a sample of the restricted items. I saw his supplies before and the supplier that procure the stuff for him might just be able to get it at a cheaper price. Trust me on this." Yuan interjected and subsequently smirked a little that only those who saw her often like Jin, appreciated the gesture.

After all, this current arrangement was somewhat like a partnership between Yuan and Jin. So, if Yuan could scratch Jin’s back by allowing him to access the items in JODE not just for storage and production, but also to use in his war and dungeon instances, it would definitely be a great boost in both firepower and defensive capabilities. (Of course, a little tweak here and there to ensure that it still did not violate their rules.)

In return, the prices would be so much cheaper and of a higher quality because it is the product of the System, allowing the Demon Exorcists to have a better arsenal for any threats they had to deal with.

And now, this is what they call a business meeting in their favour.
