Wael’s sudden announcement to step down from his position caused huge shock amongst the crowd.
The Great Elder of the Verde Academy, Quavion Cruz, immediately stepped forward and reprimanded him, “Do you understand what you’re doing, Wael? You’ve lost the qualifications to be the Head of Tempris long ago. You should’ve been stripped of your position and replaced by a well-respected elder from the other academies. The Tempris House doesn’t belong to you. What makes you think you can give the position to anyone you please?”
Quavion’s authority in the Verde Academy was incredibly high.
“I agree. Wael made a mistake in the past and is no longer fit to be the Head of Tempris. Although the Verde Academy has Five Houses, the Tempris House holds high authority.”
“How could he pass the position to James?”
“James has only joined the Tempris House very recently.”
The powerhouses began to discuss the matter.
Wael already knew making James the new Head of Tempris would not be easy.
He looked at Lothar and said, “Even though the Five Houses of the Verde Academy are one, the previous head decides
their successor. Now that I’m still the Head of Tempris, I should have the final say on my successor, right?”
Lothar replied with a frown, ‘Yes. According to our customs, you are to decide the next Head of Tempris. However, when most of Verde Academy’s senior members do not acknowledge your candidate, we must adopt another method.”
Wael replied, “I know. He’ll have to go through the trials if most people oppose him as the next head. As long as he passes the three trials left behind by the founder of the Verde Academy, then he’ll qualify as the next head.”
He was already well aware of their customs and had prepared in advance.
James defeating Wynona was the first step. Next, they would need the Boundless Rock. With James’ potential and talent, he could easily break through the three trials if he could cultivate on the Boundless Rock.
“James will challenge the three trials left behind by the Verde Academy’s founder in three Epochs.”
After leaving a few words, Wael pulled James away.
“Wait.” Quavion stopped them.
Wael turned to him and said calmly, “What is it, Elder? Is there anything else?”
Quavion said, “The majority of us are against James becoming the next Head of Tempris. Since he’s a disciple of the Tempris House, I don’t oppose him challenging the three
trials. However, why is he challenging it three epochs later? He should do it right now.”
‘Yeah, I agree.”
“Why are they trying to drag this out until three epochs later?”
“Are they trying to get James to cultivate on the Boundless Rock for three epochs? If he were to set up a time formation, he would have much time to improve.”
“I know, right? He might not be able to pass the test now, but it would be different if given three epochs.”
The other heads and elders also expressed their disapproval.
Lothar said, “Are you sure about making him the next head, Wael?”
Wael replied firmly, ‘Yes, I’ve already thought it through.”
Lothar responded, “Since you’ve already made up your mind, have James challenge the trials now. We’ll approve of him as the next Head of Tempris if he can pass the trials.”
Wael hesitated, worried about James’ safety. He was unable to make a decision immediately. Although James had shown great strength, his cultivation rank was still relatively low. Throughout the history of the Verde Academy, nobody at the Permanence Acme Rank had challenged the trials.
