"That is not an easy request," said the elderly woman.
"I know. So is this mission."
Seeing the Elder Heads look hesitant to fulfill his wish, Atlan decided to use their words against them.
As she said, secrets were a valuable resource, and it was something that he would fully take advantage of.
"By allowing me to enroll in the University as a Scholar and an Alchemist, I'll be able to better prepare myself for my missions. Unless you can guarantee to me that no anomalies will ever happen again, then I will need all the knowledge I can get before I go on any missions.
This is a deal breaker for me. If I don't get to enroll in the University, then I will never feel at ease during my missions. I'll be helpless with another anomaly.
I would rather go to a lesser Territory if this is the case."
By mentioning the possibility of him leaving Genesis City, he put the Elder Heads in a difficult position.
