The scene shifted.
Adam his business with the Emperor concluded receded from Eric's consciousness.
He returned to the quiet solitude of his own internal domain. The moment he was gone Eric's own awareness flooded back into his body. He found himself standing in the corridor just outside the Principal's office.
The memory of the tense negotiation was already fading like a dream replaced by the familiar glowing interface of the [System Window].
The System quickly provided him with a summary of the events that had transpired in the office. It explained the successful outcome of the meeting.
It detailed the pardoning of Cian and Samba's punishment. And it described the new even more humiliating sentence they had been given to serve his group. It also confirmed that the Emperor had agreed to sponsor The New Warriors.
He had also agreed to grant them access to all the Academy's resources.
