Green Eagles Flyingboat Yard is one of the businesses that are capable of manufacturing the Green Eagle flying boat. It is owned by the Green Noble Household, and hence one of the sources of income for their Noble Household.
The Green Eagle Flyingboat Yard has been established from the very beginning of Silver Kingdom's existence in this territory. Its history can be dated back to the start when the Silver royal family was still pioneering this territory, the moment each city and Noble Households were still at its infancy stage when the Blue Fin Kingdom attacked, and finally during the rebuilding period of the Green Weed city. In short, it's age is the same as Silver Kingdom.
Green Eagle Flyingboat Yard is where the Silver Mage Academy would rent a flying boat that will take them to Floating Mountain for their trial competition.
The moment the 1st year teachers and all the 1st year students of Silver Mage Academy arrived, a man in his forties quickly came forward and greeted them.
"I'm Lime, the Head of Management of the Green Eagles Flyingboat Yard!" Lime introduced himself as he shook hands with the representatives of the 1st year teachers, teacher Marvin and teacher Lee
"Teacher Marvin!"
"You can call me, teacher Lee!"
"Teacher Marvin and teacher Lee, due to a very important business, a few of the flying boats that you have reserved has unfortunately been assigned to a really important mission. So, is it okay for all of your students to share with each other?" Head Manager Lime said as soon as they finished introducing themselves.
"Absolutely not okay!" Teacher Lee exclaimed in dissatisfaction.
"Now, now, calm down teacher Lee! Let's hear his explanation first..." Teacher Marvin quickly pacified, "How many flying boats were exactly assigned to another mission?"
"Not that much, only 9 flying boats..." Lime replied awkwardly.
"That is even worse than I have thought, Head Manager Lime, 9 flying boats are basically equivalent to only 9 Class! We have 18 Class here, so it's not enough!" Teacher Lee disagreed without any hesitation.
"That is indeed not okay, Head Manager Lime!" Teacher Marvin also can't help but feel disappointed about the Green Eagle Flyingboat Yard's service.
Silver Mage Academy had even specifically chosen Green Eagle Flyingboat Yard because they believed that they can provide them with the service the Second Prince required. Moreover, they had even reserved those 18 flying boats on the very first day of the first week of this month in order to not cause any kind of trouble for its other customer's booking.
Although they knew that Green Eagle Flyingboat Yard only has 50 flying boats open for the public uses, its management should have already kept it in their minds to not let other people use any of the reserved 18 flying boats.
Moreover, the one that had booked was the Silver Mage Academy too, specifically a Royal Mage Academy owned by the Second Prince. Hence, this kind of service problem should not have happened. After all, the Second Prince is someone just below the Crown Prince Edward in status, if they only take into consideration the 6 offspring of Silver royal family, so his authority isn't low, and hence this sort of thing should have been something really easy to handle.
"To be honest, I know that what I did is not okay as it would be the same as destroying the good service cultivated by Green Eagle Flyingboat Yard for many years and at the same time unreasonable offending the Second Prince... However, it is the King of Silver Kingdom that had booked those 9 flying boats! What can I say aside from Yes or a Yes?" Head Manager Lime finally voiced out his helplessness. Just last week, a representative of the King visited their Green Eagle Flyingboat Yard saying that they want to use all the flying boats, including all the private flying boats owned by the Green Noble Household. However, because he personally signed a contract with the Second Prince already, it's his image that will be destroyed if ever he doesn't honor the agreement, so he tried his very best to negotiate about the 18 flying boats that have long been reserved by the Second Prince. In the end, he was only able to keep the 9 flying boats.
This was exactly the concern that teacher Lee had thought about, that's why he felt very dissatisfied. After all, the Green Eagle Flyingship Yard, a mere business owned by a Noble Household with a mere Viscount as its highest status, just dared to take away something that the Second Prince, a member with one of the highest status in the Silver royal family, had just reserve.
Teacher Lee was really loyal to the Second Prince, hence he would naturally be dissatisfied about it.
Not just anyone can challenge the authority and power of the Second Prince!
Aside from the Heads and Representatives of the 5 major Noble Households of Silver Kingdom, only the King, Queen, Crown Prince Edward, and Madam Silva of Sword and Magic could do such a thing. Even the Third and Fourth Prince or the Fifth and Sixth Princess can't take away a reservation done by the Second Prince.
However, hearing that it was the King that had to take those other 9 flying boats, teacher Lee finally understood the helplessness of the situation. They're already fortunate enough that they were able to keep 9 flying boats for their use.
"Since its the King that had asked for those, then we can only choose to accept this situation!" Teacher Marvin also felt helpless about it. What Head Manager Lime had said was indeed the only thing he could do in such a situation, either to choose yes as an answer or another yes if he wants to have another choice for an answer.
"Haystt..." Teacher Lee voiced out his helplessness, "What sort of important business was it? I'm not trying to pry or something, I only need it for my report that I will write for this trial competition!"
As one of the representatives, teacher Marvin and teacher Lee were naturally tasked to write a report about the trial competition to the Second Prince.
They obviously can't just say that the King took 9 flying boats from the Second Prince 18 reserved flying boats without explaining the reason why right?
"The King has actually told me to tell this to the representatives of Silver Mage Academy; it's something related to the Black organization!" Head Manager Lime replied.
Nearby on the side, Leo can't help but take a step closer the moment he heard the word 'Black organization'. He had always been listening to their conversation since he was really curious as to why they were taking so long to ride on a flying boat to Floating Mountain.
"Black organization, again!" Teacher Marvin's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Those lunatic bunch of people are really not putting the Silver royal family in their eyes!" Teacher Lee exclaimed in irritation.
"Exactly! Those people are really a bunch of cancers in the Silver Kingdom!" Head Manager Lime nodded his head in agreement with Teacher Lee's words.
Teacher Marvin calmed himself as he said, "Let's just share the flying boats this time!"
"Okay!" Teacher Lee nodded.
"Students!" Teacher Marvin called out to everyone, "Due to an unexpected change of plans, instead of 18 flying boats, there would only be 9 flying boats now!"
"Each flying boat would be shared by 2 class," Teacher Lee continued, "Teachers, come closer to discuss about the new arrangement!"
Hearing teacher Lee's announcement, the teachers of each class walked forward towards teacher Marvin and teacher Lee.
After a while, the teachers came back to their respective classes as they guided their students towards their assigned flying boat.
Teacher Marvin also came back to Class 1S- as he guided them along with Teacher Lee's Class 1E- towards a flying boat assigned to them.
Interestingly observing around, Leo soon understood the reason behind the arrangement.
The arrangements were respectively, Class 1S+ with Class 1E+, Class 1S with Class 1E, Class 1S- with Class 1E-, Class 1A+ with Class 1D+, Class 1A with Class 1D, Class 1A- with 1D-, Class 1B+ with 1C+, Class 1B with Class 1C, and lastly, Class 1B- with Class 1C-... At first, the arrangements may seem like normal and has no meaning about it. However, the moment he observed closer and thought deeply, he soon realized that the arrangements were exactly arranged in a way where each class was partnered with the other class that is at the same level as them.
In other words, this was arranged in such a way by the teachers in order for every class to observe their likely opponent or rivals during this trial competition.
The three Class 1S was indeed rivaled with the three Class E! So, with this arrangement, they would now be able to learn more about their opponents.
Truth be told, the teachers had actually long been aware of the formed alliances created by each of the class leaders. So, they specifically did this in order for each of them to gather information about their biggest opponent for this trial competition.
Strengths, weaknesses, traits, and characters, and many more! This could all be observed while the flying boats were flying towards the Floating Mountain.
Leo also can't help but agree with this arrangement. This just implies that the teachers desired the trial competition to become much more intense than what was expected.
By knowing each and everyone's strengths and weaknesses, even if they would only find one or two, the students would then be able to understand how to handle each other.
"They are indeed worthy of being teachers of the top 1 Royal Mage Academy at the Silver Kingdom!" Leo thought as he finally boarded the flying boat assigned to Class 1S- and Class 1E-.
