Preparations

Max looked at Greg, while he was getting back to life. He the person literally came back from the dead. He looked so dead that Max was getting a little sad at some point. 

After getting back to his senses Greg stood up with a little bit of help of Max. He was getting better and better. The energies of high mage started to re-struct and support his body and he felt not so old anymore. He also felt like he became a few times stronger in terms of his magic capabilities. He was sure his few adversaries that he was at the same power level will just have to bow down to him. If they would fight now, it would not even be close. 

Greg looked at Max and said: "What will we do now?"

Max smirked and said: "You will go to train and learn the nova skill, the flight skill and increase you fighting capability. Now you cannot protect me at all. Even ten people like you will be demolished by me. There is no need to try and say something. You will go to train. If you could beat your level six copy you can think about trying to fight with me. You know what? I will even add to you my copy with all my skills for you to fight against. If you could win even the level one bot it will be very impressive. I know you don't understand what I am talking about, but you will progress as fast as Vanessa. It will be in term of fighting. At least I hope that it would happen."

Greg was a little insulted, but he did not say anything. He was also interested on how Vanessa got so good in such short amount of time. 

After that Max went out of the room to the huge amount of people that came to speak with him. Max saw that there were few high mages that quickly came over and he did greet them. After that he told all of the people and to Greg and Vanessa at the same time: "Thank you for all of your good wishes. Now I need to take care of my new protector Greg, because he got a little injured during the breakthrough to high mage level. I want to tell you that people at the peak of the mage level that have a real sturdy foundation can join my protectors. They need to be ready to follow my command. I will go for now. I will produce grandmaster level products soon to the public. I hope it will help our continent to grow and prosper!"

After those words Max took Greg and Vanessa and went to his room. In there he put up the teleportation formation and got Greg and Vanessa in the gaming club. Max let Vanessa go and train and he explained everything to Greg. 

After listening to his explanation Greg asked: "So you are an emperor? What are your plans? Why you try to get so much power?"

Greg was really worried. Max would get huge amount of power and if he would want, he could drag all the continent into a huge war.

Max sighed and said: "I don't know if you heard about this, but the demons, dwarves and elves started funding wars and supporting the lower-level empires to exhaust the human race. I am sure that there is something bigger that will happen soon. We need to prepare for shit to hit the fan really hard and really quick. That's why you need to become strong. If you will be weak than you could not affect the situation. It is very important. If you want your academy, family and empire to not perish or hit with a nova skill you need to be really strong. That's why you need to go and train, and we speak after you learn and get all the things that I want. We will go down and you will get into a capsule and the system will explain to you what you can learn. You need to study all the things that I said. Everything will be explained. You will not get out of the simulation until you are done."

Max did not waste much time. He shood Greg to the capsule without getting him the ability to speak with anyone. Greg power level caused quite the commotion in the gaming club, but Max only said a few words that a worry of some people instantly turned into joy: "He is a new protector of the empire. Now just continue with what you are doing."

After that he left to speak with his officials and just entered the simulation himself. He said to the different people he would get into seclusion to help Greg in the Starlight academy. People did not bother him at all. To get on the bad side of a grandmaster alchemist would be a disaster.

At a different point of the continent a urgent meeting was being held. Elves, Dwarves and Demons sat together and spoke about the different things that were happening in the continent. An old elf with a very strong aura said: "There is another human grandmaster alchemist that just passed the test today. We need to make the attacks earlier. It is very important. We cannot fail. This person can change a lot if he would create a few more high mages. It will be hard to win such a war. We need to hurry. Get ready. Move your forces and we will strike at them at once."

The different top experts of the different clans nodded. They understood the severity of a grandmaster alchemist helping more humans to become high mages and also potentially helping the other high mages to progress to higher realms. 

After a short pause the old elf added: "Increase the power of the group that will attack the Starlight academy. This alchemist needs to die. I am not sure what is his power level, but even if he is a high mage he should be very weak in terms of combat. You focus should be the grandmaster and also throwing a nova skill at the academy to destroy it. We will hit the top human academies and destroy the future of the human race. We should have enough power to inflict a huge amount of damage to the human race and just wait for their response. It will be best if no one of our man will get caught. In this case those stupid humans will just fight each other, and we will wait for the best moment to finish them off. Our time has come!"
