Elric slowly stood up from his seat with calm.
"Everyone," he began.
"Principal Aldric of Arcadia academy has reached out again. This is the third formal meeting in almost a decade and he is formally requesting an alliance… and our corporation."
Some of the professors glanced up with eyebrows raised.
Elric continued, "according to the report he sent, Arcadia's investigators have been tracking a secretive group operating in the shadows. They believed this organization is not only involved in several recent attacks, but maybe connected to the demon forces."
He paused waiting for the next thing to say.
"And now principal Aldric claims there is a demon known as the demon lord who himself is involved."
For a moment there was silence.
Then some began to murmured..
"That's absurd," someone said loudly.
"The demon lord? Are they serious?", another said clearly unconvinced.
"Are they joking? Throwing a fight against the strong heroes of the nation."?
