Chapter 1530: Gotham Magic Academy (Part 2)_1

Alfred was standing by the wall, wiping the telephone, and came over to greet Bruce with a smile when he saw him return. Bruce asked, "Where are they?"

Alfred hesitated for a moment and then said, "Just now, Professor Shearer came with Mr. Barri. Professor Shearer said that the children have spent too long in this universe and their parents from the other universe must be missing them, so he let Mr. Barri take them back home."

"What about Dick and the others?"

Alfred softly sighed and said, "Master, as you know, children of this age don't like to part from the little buddies they are having fun with. They said they wanted to play a few days there and as Mr. Barri promised to ensure their safety, they left together."

Bruce quickly walked over to the phone, picked up the receiver, and dialed Shearer to ask what was going on. Shearer's reply was very concise and strong —

"Arrogant wants more universes to know how useful the shredder you gave him is. He thinks the Robins are good megaphones, so he let Barri take them back."

Bruce slapped his forehead.

Shearer hung up the phone, turned to Constantine and the Master of the Dark Night Jim behind him and said, "Nothing much, Bruce just called about some family matters. Let's get started."

Constantine nudged Jim who was still in a daze. Jim quickly responded, but the next second, he covered his throat, feeling like retching.

Just a few minutes ago, under Shearer's gaze, he had eaten an entire arm of the builder fairy.

This energy creature's body possessed a lot of energy, eating it had done a good job in healing the wounds that the Master of the Dark Night Jim had sustained in the previous battle. The only problem was that the fairies in Maya looked exactly like human beings.

Of course, after this, the negotiation with the builder fairies, these strange and stubborn creatures, went a lot smoother. They got the result they wanted and the banquet ended with both sides satisfied.

Additionally, the process of creating the rift in space and manufacturing the Mirror World went very smoothly. These cunning fairies who always like to slack off and find opportunities to blackmail the Grand Mage turned into diligent role models overnight.

The construction process was also a visual feast, with various magical brilliance and abundant energy flying together. It would have been better if there were no pots set up by Shearer on the side.

Making a Mirror City is neither a small nor a big task, after all, the actual area of the Magical World Maya is much wider than the Earth. The territories of various magical creatures are larger than human cities. Opening a space that can accommodate an entire city is a bit difficult for a single builder fairy, but for an entire race of magical creatures, it's more than sufficient.

Afterwards, the issue was perfectly resolved. When Bruce produced the magic array that duplicated the buildings of the real world, the builder fairies coveted it immensely. They were very interested in the blueprints of real-world architecture for the construction of their underground world, so they made a deal. Bruce provided mirror blueprints, and the builder fairies provided space maintenance services.

The process of depositing the buildings was long, but the more important buildings were brought in first. Apart from Gotham University, which would be used as a magic school in the inner world, there were also Gotham Police Department, Wayne Hospital, Wayne Enterprises Building, Wayne Manor, Rodrix Manor, along with Villain Island where the New Arkham Psychiatric Hospital was located.

With them as anchors, the Gotham city in the Inner World began to flourish. One building after another rose in the fog-filled space. Bruce could use modifications to the magic array to change their appearance and structure, achieving the purpose of the remodeling project.

Bruce and Zatanna began to experiment on how to get into the inner world. According to the previous concept, Zatanna enchanted the water from the Gotham River and then added different ingredients to make it a more convenient key.

After the school's hardware was largely in place, the issue of teachers and students needed to be resolved. It was easy to find students - there were plenty of children with magical talent and interest. As for the children of Gotham, dealing with devils was not something unacceptable— their living conditions couldn't sink much lower anyway.

However, the teacher issue turned out to be a big challenge. Among the human networks of Jim, Constantine, and Zatanna, they couldn't find anyone brave enough to risk their lives by coming to Gotham, especially after the Great Mage Alliance was defeated here. Gotham's reputation stopped babies' nocturnal crying, and ultimately, there were few people in this world who were courting death.

This forced Shearer to change his approach, and he suddenly thought that there was a magician right next to him - Brand, the other head doctor at Arkham Psychiatric Hospital, his old friend and classmate.

When Brand heard Shearer's request, he was surprised, but what he was surprised about was not Shearer's purpose.

"I thought you had really changed," Brand said in the office of the Arkham Psychiatric Hospital while writing a report. "When I first heard you were in Gotham, I thought you wanted to do magical research using this unique environment. But surprisingly, you've been quiet for years."

After finishing, he put down his pen, looked up at Shearer, and said, "Since I was expelled and hunted down by the Great Mage Alliance and had to hide here, I've been on edge all the time, fearing that you might cause some big trouble that would blow up Gotham. I didn't expect that you've been preparing for such a long time to reform the magical world."
