Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 497 - 193: Hassaka Under the Desk, The Magic Monarch of the Supreme Forest (10K)

Returning home, Kael immediately secluded himself in the study; he needed a private personal space to thoroughly contemplate his future plans.

The idea of advancing his status within Mage Academia was something Kael had entertained for a long time.

Or rather, Kael, who had once benefited in this regard, was very aware of the advantages it entailed.

In the early days, his transition from an ordinary library employee to an official teaching Mage at the sealed Mage Academy was due to his knowledge of the career development future of Mages, gleaned from his previous life's gaming experiences. With this foresight, he gained the recognition of Luxius.

Looking back now, although it wasn't long ago, it gave him the feeling that a great deal of time had passed.

If it weren't for that letter stained with Queen Jasmine's influence, discussing the future prospects of the War Mage System, landing in Mr. Luxius's hands, Kael might still be struggling to extricate the Charles family from its crisis.

How could he have ascended so rapidly with the support of Mr. Luxius like he had now?

He was quite clear that even his sudden emergence as a candidate for the position of Duke of the Duchy was owing to Mr. Luxius's recommendation.

In more than two hundred years of the Duchy's history, from its city-state era to the Duchy era, although the wife of the Lion Heart had long passed away, the Lion Heart lineage had already flourished and expanded.

Theoretically speaking, within the whole Duchy, the group that could be considered as Lion Heart's descendants would amount to at least ten thousand people.

In such circumstances, the opportunity to join the battle for succession largely depended more on the management of one's family.

It's usually only when becoming a branch family, with a relatively good starting point, that there would be a chance to join the competition.

After all, the resources a family could obtain compared to an individual are dramatically different.

Yet there were also an extremely small number of people who stood out from the ordinary descendants due to their outstanding talents, gaining support from others and entering into the Lion Heart's view.

Indeed, this involved inherent talent, but more importantly, it was about "someone willing to give you a push."

Those familiar with corporate work and promotion in reality should have a deeper understanding of this.

In real life, just having ability is obviously not enough for a smooth promotion.

It can even be said that hard work and ability are somewhat secondary in the promotion process.

It's not that hard work and ability aren't important, but in the short term, a person's ability usually does not undergo dramatic changes.

As for hard work... in the real workplace, who isn't working hard?

Once it is clear that employee promotion is smooth and relatively fair, those who usually speak well, every single "anti-internal strife advocate," often end up working the hardest.

Effort is very important but is also the easiest thing to achieve. Kael believed that among the numerous descendants of Lion Heart, there must be those who had worked themselves to exhaustion...

However, more often than not, the efforts of these people went unnoticed, and due to a lack of sufficient support, they also couldn't produce much in the way of results.

With the basics of effort and decent ability secured, what is needed is someone willing to speak up for you at the crucial moment, and someone willing to listen to that advice and give you a lift.

Mr. Luxius played the former role, and Lion Heart filled the latter.

Although this may have been, in part, a result of his own efforts, opportunities often truly complement each other.

Therefore, having now seized his first opportunity, Kael intended to grasp an even longer-term chance.

This opportunity required, on the one hand, the enhancement of his status, and on the other hand, a widely recognized position within Mage Academia.

The former, being a candidate successor of the Duchy, was not enough. It needed the additional influence of the unique status brought by the Four Gods' Divine Favored to barely meet the threshold.

The latter, although beginning from this year, the concept and influence of War Mages had started to spread, coupled with the "Rune application and secondary extension" Kael had jointly researched with Senior Sister Lily, as well as Kael's achievements in the more practical field of Magic Potion studies, it could be said that Kael had established a foothold in Mage Academia.

But that was still far from enough... It could even be said that, until the War Mage System was fully popularized in actual combat, Kael could only be recognized as a "Master of Magic Theory" and a "Master of Magic Potion studies" within Mage Academia, and that was the extent of it.

To achieve his subsequent goals, this was not enough, far from enough!

Neither the Federation nor Mage Academia lacked clever individuals; once he rashly started to act, others would speculate his motives through his actions.

By then, a substantial number of major powers would enter the fray, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it would be quite normal for nations to compete for the path Kael had pioneered.

After all, that was a tangible huge benefit and power of discourse!

Kael rubbed his temples, pondering which achievements to use to further gain speaking rights.

To tell the truth, he wasn't without accomplishments to present; although he currently had the most control over spells from the first to fourth levels, the inspiration sparked by the repeated collisions of spell knowledge under the trigger of his prodigious memory could not be underestimated!
