A few hours later,

Several high-level figures wearing brown uniforms were seated inside the conference room. 

They are the elders of the Academy. Their strength varied from level 8 and above.

"Did you guys verify it?" An elder with a white beard asked.

A white-bearded man is the dean of the Meteor Academy. He appears to be 60 years old. One of his eyes was injured during his early years.

So then people started calling him one-eyed Mathew. 

The rest of the people turned their attention toward the level-6 wizards who were standing in front of them.

They are none other than Rosy, Daisy, and 2 other male wizards.

When they returned to the academy. The higher-ups have quickly called for a meeting. At first, they thought it was related to the death of Mark.

But after arriving here. Four of them came to know the higher-ups and conveyed a meeting for the ancient site.

Rosy's heart turned cold. She had expected a greater response from the academy. But the higher-ups have dispatched a special team headed by a level-7 wizard to investigate the death of Mark.

Feeling the serious gaze of everyone. Rosy started to brief them from the beginning. Hearing that the elders started to listen.

Daisy and the others remained silent.

"Good," the dean uttered in a surprise. He didn't find anything false in their words. Because he will send a team to explore that place shortly.

So if the information is found to be false, then they will be punished.

So he believed Rosy and others' words for now.

"Okay, you guys can leave now," Then he ordered them to leave.

Rosy and the others felt relieved before leaving. When they walked out of the room. The real discussion starts to take place.

"Dean, we should send a team made up of level-8 wizards," One of the elders commented.

"The ancient site must be explored as soon as possible before the government takes action," Another elder added.

Hearing that others started to reveal their opinion one after another.

The dean didn't hinder them. Rather he continued to hear everyone's suggestions. The academy is also part of the government.

But when it comes to resources. The academy has to look after its interests. If the ancient site is exposed, the government forces would swallow up the whole without leaving them anything.

Dean Mathew's eyes flickered. His left eye was covered with patches. But from his right eye, he is staring at everyone.

10 minutes later,

"Quiet," He said. Hearing that everyone quieted down. The bickering came to an end. Even in this situation, these people are fighting for their students.

As long as any of the students performs well, he can get resources as a reward. Which might help their breakthrough.

Mathew's old face frowned. 

"Alright, I have made a decision."

"As from their information, even the level-6 wizards are facing hurdles in that place. We should send elite students. Maybe they can handle the situation," He said.

When he uttered those words everyone agreed. After discussion, everyone agreed. They have decided to send another special team.

But this time it was not for investigation but exploration. Then the meeting ended with a fruitful discussion.

Meanwhile,

There was a special team who were on their way to the Crown Forest. They are going to investigate the death of Mark. A senior student of the Meteor Academy.

If anyone from outside can see a medium-sized black airship moving fast toward the destination.

On that ship, A level-7 wizard and 4 level-6 wizards can be seen traveling. From earlier information, they found out that Mark's communication was cut off from the Crown Forest.

Which came as a surprise to the level-7 wizard. The news was now revealed to him that an exploration team had discovered an ancient site in that forest.

And Mark was one of their members. From connecting dots, the level-7 wizard understood that Mark might have gone back to collect resources for himself.

Such an act was already punishable by the Academy. Even if Mark was alive, according to crime. His situation would be no worse than death.

So the level-7 wizard thought he had solved the crime. But to prove that, he has to enter the Crown Forest.

On the other hand, Rosy and others went back to their quarters. Rosy recalled Mark's words. She wants to know Mark's mission. Maybe then she can understand what happened.

...

From MC's perspective:

Time flies,

After recovering my strength, I started learning the room. I got this table and chair made from an unknown metal.

So I place them inside the Control Room. When I looked at the situation outside. My expression darkened.

The Giant centipede-type monster is resting on the ground. Its head is close to the Tunnel entrance.

If I appear outside, I might be swallowed by the monster. Seems like there is no escape right now. Unless Mark's supporters arrive. 

I won't be able to escape. After calming down my heart, I decided to wait patiently.

Time passed in the blink of an eye,

A few hours later,

The investigation team reaches the crown forest before the new exploration team is sent by the dean.

The level-7 wizard in the investigation team was greedy as well. Because of the current mission, he missed the opportunity to lead the exploration team.

Fortunately for him, the destination for both missions was the same. The level-7 wizard didn't reveal his inner thoughts to his team members.

Then he guided them towards the location where the signal was last cut off. If his assumption was right, Mark was dead at an ancient site.

He doesn't know what could kill a level-6 wizard. But he knows it's not a foreign wizard. If it was a foreigner then he thinks the foreigner might be a level-7 wizard like him.

Time flies,

The team got closer to the location when it was dark. On the way, the team members asked about the mission details.

The team members are level-6 wizards. They are not afraid of the foreign intruders. 

Soon the team reached the ruin site.
