Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[OP: ]

The headmaster took the centre of the stage not long after the hall had been filled with all the members that were going to participate and more.

The organisers, the individuals that were to be kept anonymous were nowhere to be seen, yet everyone knew that those individuals were present in the grand hall somewhere around the great hall.

The comfortable seats that resembled that of the chair of an authority were placed all around the spherical hall and each chair had been occupied with the individuals that were supposed to occupy them.

Chatters had died down when the headmaster appeared, lights were dimmed, and a spotlight was cast on the headmaster on the stage.

{ "Welcome, everyone." }

As those who knew him closely could tell, his voice did not contain the usual kind of carefreeness that he usually has.

There was some seriousness in this voice, some weight that most of the individuals present in this could understand better than most people in this world.

{ "This conference, as everyone knows, has been organised to discuss yet another set of predicaments this world is facing, and to attempt to get past these problems together for the sake of the world that we live in, the world that we cherish, and the place without which we would not have anything that we have right now." }

The conference was held to bring the many powers of this world a little closer as well, and it had worked until now.

There had mostly been no need to make someone fight against someone else until now. Even when it came to the matters related to the tyrants that considered themselves the ruler of this world or when it came to the followers of the darkness and evil, the matters had always been somewhat resolvable through many mutual agreements that might not be acceptable morally or ethically.

In this place, every monarch had to make some decisions and those who could not accept those important decisions were either dealt with democratically, or with the forced authority of the organisers and the individuals who held the most influence in this world– people who were referred to in this setting as <Ministers>.

Holding a great responsibility, this unique position was changed every decade to keep things and check and to give legitimacy to only those who could use their power for the sake of the vast world without prejudice or personal point of views.

{ "Before beginning, I would be announcing some important rules and regulations, so even if it may be boring, please listen." }

The Authority of the headmaster as one of the only few Archmages of this world, as the headmaster of the academy, as the spokesperson for the divinities who look after the island of magic's wealth, and as someone who had earned everything that he owned along with the authority that was granted to him not by the people of this world but, by this very world itself.

{ "Firstly, as everyone knows, asking questions is a right of every single individual present here. And that will remain the same this time as well." }

There were times when they had to place some limitations on the kind and type of the questions one can ask and how frequently one can ask questions in a sitting, but there were not going to be any limitations like that this time around.

They needed to discuss a lot of things and questions were going to be needed. They were a need this time around so even the headmaster knew that limiting the questions would be a big problem for them and for the ones who will be presenting the important matters today.

{ "Secondly, we will be using some new kinds of tech and magic as well as some new things that had never been used until now. They are unique, and they are useful so if you want to know anything about any of it, please do not bother. The world will eventually know about those things when the time comes." }

It was not an uncommon thing for new technology to appear in this kind of setting. They were pretty familiar with this kind of stuff already so they did not think much about this instruction– which will soon change as the headmaster already knew about it.

{ "The general instructions will be the same…" }

Discussion among the participants is allowed when done before the rest of them. A covert or internal discussion was prohibited here and if someone was found bickering and disturbing others, they would be restricted by the <Ministers'> authority.

There was nothing too complex about these instructions since there was no need to explain every little thing to these experienced and smart people, but the headmaster still followed the protocol and explained everything to them.

Use of any kind of skill or magic without permission was prohibited, if someone wanted to ask a question when someone was talking, they would have to press the button that was attached to their seats.

They could not leave this area for anything until the end of the presentation of the topic and if they had no choice but to leave, they would not be permitted back inside the hall. Find your next read on empire

There were servants present all around the hall so if they wanted some, anything even, they just needed to ask them.

All the necessary things will be provided to them as per the information that was gathered about them and there will be a break in between the topics so, if they need to take a breather, they will receive their time.

This was not a place where fun will be entertained so if one wanted to waste the time of the conference in any manner, they would need to be prepared for the consequences that will follow.

{ "When the presentations are ongoing this time around, the individuals presenting will be given a single [Vote] each to forbid any one person from asking them any kind of questions." }

This was the greatest help they were going to give the presentations this time around but how to use this power will solely be up to them.

There were a lot of ways to use this special privilege since just shutting one person for the duration of their entire presentation would mean they were going to be eternally humiliated later on for being the one to be silenced by someone who may or may not be on par with them in the outside world.

{ "The Duration of the conference will be until the day after the last presentation ends. Thus, stretching things any more than they need to be will only waste each of our valuable time." }

This was a warning, as well as a suggestion.

There will be an unknown number of presentations happening this time around so, until the last presentations none of them will know if that is the last presentation or not.

They did not have all the time in the world since the rest of the world walked on their time, so they needed to make sure they do not stretch any topic for more than a certain time so that they can finish everything as soon as possible.

{ "If one finds something wrong with any of the presentations, they are free to question any part of it and if they are able to provide a conclusion to the said topic, the topic will be skipped and the conference will move forward." }

Not all the presentations that will happen today will be necessary to this conference.

The main agenda today was the demonic cultists, however, since the presentations were chosen by not just the headmaster but many other individuals, there were some presentations that were not necessary to either the conference or to the main agenda today.

He himself will do his best to push forward any and all unnecessary ones so that they do not waste any of their precious time.

They needed to do a lot in the short time they had and pushing the conference any more than a week would only mean they are giving those evil lurking around the shadows a golden opportunity to take away everything that they were trying to protect here.

They could not stay away from their positions for too long, so as the headmaster and the rest of them understood, they did not have any time to waste in this place.

{ "Lastly, I request everyone to be mindful of all the topics that will be discussed today and to Not forget the position that they hold and their positions in this conference." }

This, lastly, was directed to all the people that were present there right now.

They were not here to play around.

The ones who will be presenting here have worked hard and spent their day and night preparing themselves and their topics for everything that will be discussed here today.

They could not possibly handle things on their own or take things lightly anymore.

Surely this will be a teaching session for many of them. But, when the two of them take this stage… he wanted them to have as much room as any adult overly accomplished authority figure of this world would receive.

He was someone that held more power in this place than many of them as well as someone who understood the kind of topic that they were going to discuss in this meeting so…

{ "Then, let us begin the Grand conference of this golden era." }

They were going to start now.

He will take his place and the people will start what they do, and what they were here to do.

Some will listen and some will talk.

Some will block the presenters, and some will guide them.

There will be a lot of things to discuss here today, but… there was only one main topic.

And the headmaster was hoping that one topic would be expressed to all of them as well as they all wanted it to…
