'Ten million Credits!?'

Noah was speechless, he really couldn't imagine a sum that huge in the hands of a single person.

"How is it possible that a single student is in possession of such wealth?"

He asked the Professor.

"That's part of the problem. We believe that some large-size noble families are planning to build an organization similar to the academy. Yet, their foundation is not as solid as ours, so they are investing that sum to accumulate enough appealing resources. Even if the academy would still be the best school in the country, we can't allow for a competitor to appear."

Thaddeus explained in a serious tone, he was taking this matter quite seriously.

However, Noah really didn't care about such political struggles.

"What do you want from me?"

Noah asked his most pressing question.

"Stop the delivery of the items to the noble families."

"Why don't you do that?"

Thaddeus smiled bitterly at those words.
