“We’ve already established contact with the Southern Frontier.”“We reached out to General Clifford Castillo.”Neil Foster replied.“And what is the old general’s stance?”Joseph nodded slightly and asked.“General Clifford Castillo and General Malcolm Sanchez are old brothers-in-arms of ours. There’s no question—they stand with us.”Brian Adams chimed in.“Old Adams is right.”“Not only have we made contact, but we’ve also finalized the time, location, and specific details of the secret meeting.”“As far as the entire plan goes, it’s practically flawless. Confidentiality won’t be an issue.”Neil Foster continued.“So quickly?”Joseph was a little surprised.“When it’s among our own people, things move much faster.”“Through General Clifford Castillo, we also got in touch with Dale Jimenez—we approached him in your name.”“Dale Jimenez himself is willing to proceed with the secret meeting. He is, without question, one of the general’s key pieces—a highly important one.”“He should be

“Joseph, you can rest assured about that. Under the guise of normal academic exchange and regular talent mobility, they won’t pay it any mind.”“Exactly. Besides, Nova University has been rising to prominence. What’s wrong with us coming here out of admiration?”“Right. These days, students overwhelmingly choose Nova University as their top choice. Isn’t it perfectly natural for professors and researchers like us to come as well? After all, this is where the finest students, the best teaching environment, and the strongest research conditions are found.”“…”The group chimed in one after another.“What you’re saying makes sense. Then it’s settled.”“As for preserving the spark—do you have a concrete plan?”Joseph asked.“We prepared a detailed plan before coming. Take a look.”Eryndor Vexley said, connecting his laptop to the conference room screen, where the document appeared.What followed was an in-depth discussion. Under the collective interpretation of the group, Joseph reviewed

“This child is still as courteous as ever.”“What are you thanking us for? We’ve come here for our own sake as well.”“Exactly—we’re simply taking the opportunity to see if we can lend a hand.”“…”The group responded one after another.At that moment, Eryndor Vexley spoke.Though he was neither the most senior nor the most renowned among them, he was widely acknowledged as their de facto leader.“Joseph, now that everyone is here and this is a suitable place to speak, I’ll get straight to the point.”“I assume you know everyone present.”“We have devoted our lives to this nation, yet now, someone intends to destroy the very work we have built.”“Among us are those who study advanced weaponry, as well as those engaged in fields related to national defense and public welfare. All of us have contributed, in our own way, to the nation’s foundation.”“This time, we’ve come with one primary goal—to preserve the spark.”Eryndor Vexley said, cutting straight to the heart of the matter.“To p

“The senior members from the Metropolis City Academy of Sciences are coming to Nova University to hold an academic symposium, and they’ve asked me to attend.”Joseph answered directly.“A symposium at a time like this? There’s barely more than a week left before the New Year.”Mason Alvarez sounded puzzled.“On the surface, it’s an academic symposium. In reality, they have something important to discuss with me.”Joseph added.“I see.”“In that case, it makes sense.”Mason Alvarez nodded in understanding.“I was taught by them when I was young. They are not only my seniors—they are my teachers.”“After learning about my situation, they want to find a way to lend me their support.”Joseph continued.“That’s a good thing!”“No wonder a great master produces brilliant students.”“I finally understand why Mr. Wilson is so exceptional.”“It turns out his teachers are all at least academy-level scholars.”Mason Alvarez said with a sigh of admiration.“When exactly is it?”Alice asked.“I do

“As for that… I’m not entirely sure myself.”“Let’s put it this way—they’re using an academic symposium as a pretext. You understand what I mean, don’t you?”Geoffrey Harris said tactfully.“They want to discuss… other academic matters with me?”Joseph began to grasp the implication.“Yes, exactly.”“Some things aren’t convenient to say outright—we both understand well enough.”“As for the specifics, Professor Gerald Ortiz will explain them to you. It’s not something I can discuss on my end.”“I called to let you know that I’ve already agreed to it. What comes next will depend on you.”Geoffrey Harris continued.“Thank you, Principal. I understand.”Joseph expressed his gratitude.“Mr. Wilson, you’re being too polite.”“At first, we didn’t know who you truly were. Now that we do, Nova University will stand firmly behind you.”“Our institution has always placed the nation’s interests above all else. Your mentor, General Eugene Wilson, is a pillar of this country. He deserves greater su

“You’re trying to kill me, aren’t you? Who told you to put me through that—hmph!”Heidi huffed indignantly.“Alright, time to get up.”Joseph glanced at the time and spoke calmly.“You go first. Check what it’s like outside, then I’ll come out.”A hint of shyness colored Heidi’s voice.“Didn’t you say you’d already talked it through with them?”Joseph asked.“We did talk it through, but it’s still embarrassing. You think I’m like you, with skin thick as armor?”Heidi retorted with a coquettish snort.“Think about what happened last night—between the two of us, who’s really the shameless one?”Joseph was at a loss for words. Women, as a species, truly excel at turning the tables.“Oh, get lost. It’s you—you’re the shameless one.”“Come on, hurry up. You’re so annoying. You go out first.”Heidi pleaded.“Fine, I’ll go.”Left with no choice, Joseph got dressed and stepped out.At that hour, Alice and Mason Alvarez didn’t seem to be awake yet.During the holiday break, sleeping in a littl
