Emma took the small hammer from Harris and was somewhat speechless.

"Grandpa, Laplace Academy is a top-tier mystery academy in the world, why are you still using such an outdated method?"

"Is it old-fashioned?"

Harris rubbed his nose: "I feel pretty good about it. This was an idea that came to me in a flash of inspiration back then."

When was that year?

"Thirty or forty years ago, I think."

"..."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Emma rubbed her forehead and began knocking on the wall.

Knock knock knock, knock knock knock.

"Phew, Grandpa's all done,"

"I see a button, should I press it?"

"Go ahead and press it. But Emma, your mind isn't very sharp."

"what?"

Emma's eyes widened: "Grandpa, what are you saying?"

"You can't just use all your strength to knock when I tell you to. Don't forget, you're a tutor at Laplace Academy, the world's top-tier mystery academy. How can you use such an outdated method?"

"You should take out your wand and cast a softening spell or something on the wall."

"...Sigh, I understand. It was my fault; I shouldn't have called your method outdated."

As she spoke, Emma pressed the blue button.

A secret passage appeared, and a vertical elevator appeared in front of Emma.

"Let's go in, don't keep everyone waiting."

"Oh"

...........................................................................

"Haha, I'm late. Is everyone here?"

"Dean, everyone's been here for a while... But, is Instructor Emma coming too? I didn't hear you mention it before."

The mentors in the secret room looked Emma over with intriguing expressions on their faces.

"Teacher Emma"

At that moment, the only student greeted Emma.

"Reiko, you're here too."

Emma finally saw a familiar face and relaxed a little.

"After this period of observation, I feel that Emma is qualified to enter this place. Does anyone have any questions?"

Seeing Harris's firm tone, no one dared to comment on Emma's arrival anymore.

"Emma, don't be fooled by how familiar they all seem with this place; it's actually their first time here too."

"I see"

Emma nodded, her gaze now drawn to a sophisticated mechanical object in the center of the room.

"This is?"

"The core of the floating fortress, unfortunately, is only half-finished."

Harris said with a hint of regret, "I found this in some ruins when I was young, and as soon as I saw it, an idea popped into my head."

"Could we use it to lift Laplace Academy into the air? Then our academy would be the world's first floating academy."

"..."

Everyone looked surprised; it was the first time they had ever heard such a thing.

"Dean, did you have this idea about the Floating Academy a long time ago?"

Someone said admiringly, "You have such great foresight!"

"Hehe, I didn't think too much about it at the time, I just thought it was fun."

"Uh"

Harris waved his hand: "Although I did some research on it back then, I didn't implement my idea for various reasons, but now the time is finally right."

"Grandpa, have you finished this unfinished product?"

Harris's face lit up with pride: "That's right. According to my research, the only thing this unfinished product lacks is 'power'."

"I don't understand any ancient technology, but I have mysterious methods!"

"If we lack motivation, we'll use our own mystery to provide it."

"I've calculated it. The seven people here working together are enough to send Laplace Academy, and even the entire island, flying into the sky!"

"Oh!"

Emma was immediately excited, but apart from her, the mentors and Reiko all looked solemn.

"Dean, I have no objection to contributing to Laplace Academy, but there are some things I still need to clarify."

"Of course, of course. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally one of the female instructors spoke up.

"Dean, turning our mystery into motivation... does that mean the burden of the entire island floating in the air will weigh on us every moment?"

"Don't worry, I'll take the lion's share."

Harris said calmly, "The remaining portion will be divided equally among the six of you. There will be a burden, but it's definitely not as big as you think."

"Dean, I have a question."

Another mentor spoke up: "The seven people present, if, I mean if..."

"If someone is no longer here, then..."

"It is precisely because of the consideration of unforeseen circumstances that I set the number of people at seven. If someone has a problem, we must immediately find a replacement for him."

How can we transform this mystery into motivation?

"The transformation ceremony can begin at any time."

"..."

"The Dean"

Reiko spoke up: "Why am I one of the students among the seven?"

“You’re not an ordinary student, you’re the president of the student council.”

Harris said meaningfully, "Among the seven people who will hold the highest positions in Laplace Academy in the future, there must be one student representative."

“Reiko, I think you are the most suitable person.”

Section 476, Chapter 475: Radio Wave System

As expected of the dean, Harris's statement, "The seven people who will hold the highest positions in Laplace Academy in the future," immediately impressed the mentors.

Upon closer examination, the burden of the Future Academy's levitation rests on them; in other words, the seven people present hold the fate of everyone at Laplace Academy in their hands.

In that sense, aren't they the highest-ranking "Seven"?

"Everyone, are there any other questions?"

Harris smiled broadly, but sighed inwardly.

Originally, Emma wasn't supposed to be among the seven.

pity......

'Chisa, where are you now?'

"Dean, you previously said that this semi-finished product is the core of the floating fortress?"

"Yes"

"Floating fortress, I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before."

One of the mentors looked thoughtful: "It's some powerful organization, I remember it's..."

"It was the Black Star organization, but it has now been absorbed by Viper."

Harris said helplessly, "The Viper does indeed have a complete floating fortress. I sent someone to make a trade request a while ago."
