Adam's main goal for now was to make his new group The New Warriors stable and self-sufficient.
He wanted it to be strong both financially and in terms of its resources. He had to do this within the complex competitive ecosystem of the United Academy.
The Principal Logan was also quite surprised by "Eric's" audacious demands.
He understood immediately what the boy was doing. He was a very clever boy. Adam had asked for two things that would secure his new group's future for the next four years.
While the members of a group could to a certain extent handle their financial condition by completing missions the real currency of power within the Academy was not just money. It was resources.
And resources—access to the best most advanced training grounds privileged sections of the libraries priority access to the mission building and even the ability to take on high-ranking dangerous missions—were not easily obtained.
