GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

115 A World God Is A Money Maker.

She knew it was an involuntary act on Mihila's part but it always made Kayla mentally unstable. Even though she knew Mihila won't hurt her, the mana around her has changed that certainty to probably. It was telling her that she may not be hurt intentionally, but anything could happen unintentionally. It is not a good thing to be around someone that might probably hurt you and that person is playing around with a dangerous weapon.

The knowledge that you are this close to highly fatal damage makes it difficult to simply relax and mingle. She becomes mentally exhausted by the time she leaves Mihila's presence. So chose to stay outside the building while Mihila brought the kids for identification and confirmation.

Mihila has already completed the registration online on the school network portal. So it doesn't take long for the verification to be completed. The kids are inspected and their identification is verified. Mihila filled in some forms and signed some papers. Then the kids are whisked away for their training.

Mihila came out of the building. Her match towards Kayla made the poor girl want to jump out of her skin. All she could hear from the ambient mana is that a terrifying predator was approaching.

"Why are you so timid? It isn't good to be so easily scared." Mihila said to her.

Kayla avoided her eyes and replied. "Nothing."

Mihila eyed her and asked, "I'm I that intimidating?"

Kayla would have liked to say yes, but she hated confrontations. She definitely wanted to avoid one with what she can perceive to be a disaster just waiting to happen. So she caves and says, "It's just my personality. You are a charismatic woman so I get easily startled around you."

Mihila didn't believe her, but she decided to let it go. "It's just the two of us now. We will start your intensive training immediately so that you can have a better battle record next time."

"Thank you, your excellency. I appreciate your assistance and support." Kayla smiled.

Mihila waved her hand, and she noticed that Kayla stepped back a little with that gesture. Still, she did not mention the jittery behavior.

"It's nothing. You were there for me when I needed you. It was for a short time but I could have been away for longer. This much is a small thing to do for you."

Kayla couldn't enroll in the battle academy. She is not a descendant of the Ghastorix family. Ghoto and Mihila don't have enough privilege in the family to grant her access. Ghoto is a king of law but he hasn't made enough contributions to the family to receive such a perk. It is one of the reasons why he decided to participate in the war summons. If every king in the family gets to bring anyone to the battle academy then the battle academy will need to expand and start collecting tuition. The family is much too big to allow that and the battle academy is first and foremost a family affair. They may be open to external people but they need to have talent and Kayla isn't talented enough to merit admission.

Mihila on the other hand could acquire a relatively high position in the family that could grant Kayla admission but it would need her to take up some responsibilities. Mihila wouldn't be able to become an elder of the family because they don't need her and because that position is reserved for only those with the bloodline of the family. She might be a titan of law, a very powerful existence in the lower realm, but the Ghastorix family does not lack Titans. They don't even lack Origin gods so a lack of titans in their workforce is not a problem for them. They are capable of defeating the entire pantheon of the Virut Plane singlehandedly without support, so they don't need her titan strength.

She will still be given a suitably high position that will allow her to push for Kayla's admission, but She doesn't want the work so they decided to look for another way. Mihila doesn't want to work for the Ghastorix family, if it were her family she would have accepted the position. She didn't have any bloodline belonging to the Ghastorix family, so she didn't feel compelled to help them out. It is why they didn't offer her the elder position in the first place. It is bloodline discrimination but it is the way of the world. You might call it Nepotism but it is the best recommendation one could have to be related by bloodline.

Mihila felt she owed Kayla but it wasn't enough for her to take on something like that. So they had to find another way for her to gain privileged advanced training that will increase Kayla's odds of transcending. Money didn't work in getting her access to the battle academy. They might have a lot of money but the Ghastorix family does not lack money. It is practically impossible for them to lack money and they will only get richer once they gain a world god. The possession of a world god in the family will change their family from top to bottom. The presence of a single world god will make it easier for them to create more world gods. Origin gods don't have a theoretical limit to their strength, but as they grow stronger, they will come across the opportunity for even more strength. The strength of creation. World gods possess the power of creation, they can create anything as long as they have the information about the object and enough energy.

With a world god, it is more likely for the entire realm of high heaven to be destroyed than for them to become poor. If the realm lord becomes a world god himself then that probability falls to zero. So no, the Ghastorix family does not lack money and probably never will.

The only currency accepted in the void universe is power. Spirit, mana, and origin stones are sources of power and as such the accepted means of currency in the realm of high heaven. World gods can create them in bulk without even trying. At their level of strength, their very existence creates wealth.

Since money didn't sway the battle academy, the next option is the planar battle records. Your battle record is the result of a certification examination that is held across the entire plane every 10 years. Your battle records will then be used by battle academies to determine your worth. It can be trusted since it is a standardized exam with strict surveillance. All the public schools in the plane only use battle records. The Ghastorix Battle Academy is sure to be swayed by a high enough battle record.

There are two types of organizations in the plane. The public and the private organization. The bloodline families are private organizations and all their establishments fall under that category. The Ghastorix Battle Academy is a private institution, it has the right to determine its admission parameters and can not be forced. There are other public academies on the plane, they are established by the racial council. Private schools are generally better than public schools but the best schools on the plane are public schools.

The three most important battle academies in the plane are public schools and so only accept battle records for entry determination. They were established by the racial council and so tuition is free but it will only take those with the best battle records after each exam. This is their current aim for Kayla, it is a tall order for her to perform outstandingly but Mihila is determined to train her and improve her skills. Those without any assistance from bloodlines don't fair well in such exams. They will have to compete with others with a bloodline in the same exam.

Mihila has confidence in being able to help Kayla because she has a lot of money. Money might not sway the high and mighty Ghastorix family but it can go a long way in strengthening Kayla. Mihila is willing to spend money rather than take up a position in the family. Thankfully the exams are free to take. It is also being funded by the racial council. Most of the services that the racial council offers are free. On paper, they receive their funding from levies placed on bloodline families. The cost of their operations isn't borne by the people of the plane at all, there is no tax you pay for anything. As long as you're not the ancestor of a bloodline family you don't have to worry about anything. As they say, if the heavens fall, the tall pillars will shoulder it.

The racial council is very popular among those that know about them. Not every person on the plane knows that the highest authority on the plane is the racial council. Most inhabitants of the plane are oblivious to their existence. Those that can come in direct contact with the racial council must have at least the strength of a transcendent.
