The group was currently on the island, making their way to the capital of Georgia, Atlanta. Although it was unfortunate that they weren't able to set up camp in Montgomery, it was still some rather valuable experience fighting against such a large horde of beasts.

Lachlan's eyes had undergone their next evolution which almost sent Lachlan to death's gate. He felt as though his mind was separating from his body and getting torn apart over and over again. However, now he's able to see the evolution paths of beasts.

--------------------------------------------------------

The number by the evolutionary paths was the number of paths one could follow to evolve the beast. Unfortunately, the materials required for all of Lachlan's tames to evolve were things they currently didn't have. However, Lachlan knew he wanted to evolve the Rocs first since they're the easiest.

And for the path Lachlan wants to evolve the Rocs, there's a variety of paths that Lachlan's going to choose from, the paths chosen will be best suited for the Rocs personality as well as their fighting style. However, he first needs to get his hands on the materials first before he even thinks about evolving them.

As of now, the group were currently standing in front of a large gathering of trees, getting ready to begin their build of the academy grounds. The purpose behind the academy is to create strong individuals that'll help protect humanity as well as bring them valuable reputation.

Strong individuals don't come from dirt, they're found and raised by the hands of masters. And once their first batch of graduates heads out into the world, they'll showcase the abilities of the academy and gain the attention of the entire world. Once that's done, people would be dying to send their families and even themselves to train at the academy.

However, the group themselves don't want to train a bunch of people with some shabby buildings. They had to make sure the buildings were recognised for their uniqueness and stability, having the abilities to endure the full-powered punch of any new student.

They were currently going to use some trees to create the walls of the academy. And along with Beaumont's help this was a piece of cake, controlling the nearby trees he gathered them to create a wall around a large square, the square was roughly 60 metres long and wide. This was going to be the academy dorms.

Standing by one of the sides Lachlan covered his broadsword in a layer of ice, holding the tip against the bark of the tree Lachlan began to push with all his force, slowly slicing into the tree. The ice extended ever so slightly off the blade's edge and created a much thinner and sharper edge.

He continued to pierce through the wood and carve out large chunks from the tree, then, slowly but surely, he finally managed to make his way through the tree and reach beyond the wall. A large, open area with a length and width of 60 metres.

The rest of the group piled in a looked around in astonishment, it was rather dark inside the space due to the large treetops blocking at the bright sunlight. However, just from the space alone, if they were to make the building consist of just rooms alone, they could have 225 rooms on one floor, each having 4x4m room in each of them. However, considering the height of the trees they could have 100 floors. Thereby having 22500 rooms for that many students.

Not to mention, if they wanted to it wasn't an understatement to say they could place two students in one room. Of course, the group was thinking of having much larger rooms and the higher one is in terms of strength the higher in the dorm you'll be placed. With the strongest student getting placed at the top, they'll have a nice view of the island alongside a comfortably large living area. It'll certainly be a motive for some of the students. Especially if they were to make the lower dorms complete trash in comparison.

Gathering together the group began to plan everything on the ground, planning out the rooms and how they were going to be set out. Where the things are going to placed and what utilities they're going to be given. They'll also obviously need a place to clean themselves after a hard day of training. Not to mention they'll need some places to let out some steam and relax.

Very soon, the entire construct of the academy was lightly planned. Although they haven't gone into great detail of anything, they were currently only in the process of building the dorms so everything else can wait momentarily.

"Hey, just wondering but why don't we build better houses for ourselves?" Zoe asked as her face scrunched up to show her confusion. "I mean sure, we've been living in the huts for quite some time, but we have the capabilities to make much better living areas for ourselves. Not to mention, it'll look quite weird if a student were to see what we were living in comparison to their dorm.

"I suppose you have a point," Lachlan said faintly as he shook his head from side to side. "Granted, I don't have any idea what purpose a large or fancy house would hold. Though I suppose I wouldn't mind living at the top of the tree, walking outside to that beautiful view of the world as well as the sunset and sunrise."

"Well, in a similar fashion I suppose we could create dorms for ourselves at the top of the tree. We'll all have one part of the dorm to ourselves to do whatever we want. We can decorate it, renovate it, whatever," Flynn joined in on the conversation at the suggestion of making better living areas for themselves.

He too had considered it from time to time but never really found the reason to. He was used to living in slightly cramped places, not to mention the warm and cosy feeling tight spaces give to a happy family. So, instead of bringing up the matter he just remained silent and eventually, it went to the back of his mind.

"How about this, since you've already worked out the plans for the academy you turn to the centre of the island and plan out our new houses. Too bad we can't bring that castle over, now that would be a nice as well as intimidating house to show off to the students," Joe explained to Flynn. Flynn nodded before leaving the group, he didn't have anything else to do so he might as well start planning out their new place.

Left with nothing but a large spacious area the stood walked around wondering and analysing every little bit of the place. Lachlan would use his control over rocks and dirt to level it out so that they can have a flat foundation. Then, by adding pressure through gravity stones the foundation became extremely sturdy.

"Alright, that's about all we can do right now, we don't really have the materials to build a dorm room," Lachlan said as he clapped his hands together, brushing off the dust as he walked out. Currently, because it was a rather spontaneous decision the group didn't have all the materials needed to build the dorm. They were only able to plan it out and create designs.

Fortunately, they should be able to buy the test of the materials in the next city and possibly get themselves some students as well. The group was curious as to how many students they could get, after all, when someone becomes a student, they won't be able to leave the island to return back home for years. Granted, that's only the case if the student doesn't have a way to get home, if they do then there are no issues for them.

"Hey, so although this is going to be some type of training academy, what's the age limit on the students? Also, what are some of the rules they'll have to abide by once in the academy? And when would kick them out for failing?" Joe asked a few questions that did actually need answers if they wanted to make the academy a real thing.

"We don't really need an age limit, we could, however, create different campuses depending on the student's age. That way, you won't have a bunch of old paedophiles getting close to the younger students. Then for some rules, I suppose we could just have some basic ones: No fighting, no stealing, show everyone respect, and what else? Also, I don't think we should kick anyone from failing at the beginning, maybe when we have more students but not right now," Chloe started answering the questions with what she thinks should happen.

"I agree with the first part but disagree with some of the rules," Joe interjected before explaining his opinion. "Sure, those rules would have been quite good if this were before the evolution, but we need strong people now. So, how about we allow fighting to a certain degree. We'll create a space for any students to fight each other, that way, if there are any problems, they can settle it with a good old fistfight. However, any fights that happen without permission will result in a punishment. So, how about that?"

"That works, we'll also hold a tournament once a year to determine where everyone lives, the students will fight alongside their beasts to determine the winner. Now, yes, this is extremely unfair to students that don't have a tame but that's reality, a hungry beast isn't going to wait for you to tame something before fighting it," Lachlan explained his more extreme thoughts. "Of course, with the help of Researchers United, we will be raising beasts for students to tame. Maybe we can even have the stronger more unique beasts as rewards for the winners."

"Emm, then we'll need to have a fairly large breeding grounds, otherwise we won't have nearly enough beasts. Not to mention that everyone has different compatibilities, we'll also need to have a large variety of beasts," Zoe explained shyly in a faint voice.

"I mean, it isn't that hard to just go down and pick up some beasts. We'll just need the right cages for them," Lachlan explained to Zoe. "As for the compatibilities, that won't be a problem, we have so much room on this island to create an area designated for each type of beast. Then, through the use of gravity stones, we should be able to create little pens for them all."

"Huh, I suppose you're right," Zoe muttered beneath her breath. "But what about the students themselves? Are we going to choose a beast for them or are we going to allow them to choose a beast for themselves? I feel like we should do the latter, that way no one would be annoyed at what they're given."

"Yeah, we'll do that," The group agreed to Zoe's idea and slowly, through their chatting they managed to formulate a plan for the academy that just might work. The only problem now is that they'll need people to teach the students how to fight.

Sure, they can teach them somewhat, but they just rely on their overpowered stats to overwhelm every beast they come across. And along with their weapons, they're basically untouchable. However, that won't work the same for students who are still rather weak.

"We could just try to find some martial arts instructor at the next city, there will surely be one somewhere amongst the crowd. Maybe even amongst the explorers," Lachlan suggested. The group nodded before leaving the grounds and relaxing. Lachlan was currently resting on a tree branch just outside the orphanage. 'Ha, suppose this student of yours is going to become a teacher, Alfredo.'
