I believe that Klea would be the most likely to approach Shinta to join, but I don't think Klea would tell her about Emery and Silvia's backstory. A surprise move would be Annara telling Shinta she should join Emery's hall. I think a surprising unexpected twist would be the Oracle showing up telling Shinta that Emery and Shinta need each other, and also hinting at this being the reason she was persistent in Emery becoming an instructor.
I think Edvard = Blackjack
Gary and Edvard might eventually fight in MWS, but at this point in MWS, I'm wondering if Edvard and Blackjack are the same character.
My question is: How will Emery's ladies take this news? Klea? Morgana?
In the wake of the academy's reopening, tens of thousands of acolytes from across the sectors eagerly applied, marking the end of a 15-year hiatus. Among the hopefuls was a determined young female, driven by the singular purpose of finding a man she had recently discovered to be her father.

As a first and emotional response, I would 100% agree with this idea. However if the council is directly affecting his store's ability to obtain materials and resources to make his potions, going that route could be suicidal to his business. Yes, Emery could set up shop elsewhere and continue to sell through the Magus Alliance shop, but how would he get supplies? All the council has to do is buy up all the supplies and materials like they did. Even if Emery creates new potion recipes, it will cost more and he will lose more on his contract with the Magus Alliance. If he went this route, all the Qins would have to do is get ahold of his new potion and restrict his access to the materials in the new recipe. Then the Qins and council members just rinse and repeat until they get their way. Welcome to Capitalism. Victoria Qin wanted to control Emery, but since he refused to accept their leash, they are forcing him to a 5 year term. I would love to see Emery put the Qins and the council in their place for this, but he isn't strong enough. The Earth Alliance isn't strong enough. If Emery accepted the Nephilim's offer of a title, the council or the Qins would have never done this and would have bent over backwards to please Emery. But we know that would have come with even more restrictions. It sucks, but long term, it was the best choice he could make on short notice.
The deliberations concluded with a verdict: a 20 million spirit stone fine as punishment. However, this financial penalty was accompanied by a more significant consequence. Emery's plan to align his shop solely with the Earth faction was rejected and resulted in the Qin faction being voted as Merlin shop's new guarantor. forcing an additional 5% tax to be given to the faction, akin to other new establishments in Golden City.

Maybe once or twice, but not likely. Morgana is a carnivorous omnivore when it comes to eating. Avans has always described Elves meals as being vegetarian nature. Morgana might be interested in the smells at first, but would quickly grow bored with the lack of meat.
He knew his way around the place, as he has strolled through this city a dozen times before,

Thank you for the history lesson on the gates that Alex was unaware of and unable to provide.
A scarab beetle would blend in more in the desert. Maybe she learns to change to other bugs over the next 2000 years to blend in and settles on lady bug when interacting with a little girl?
To their astonishment, a tiny dark beetle bug emerged from Klea's hair, its wings fluttering gently as it made its way toward a large table in the center of the library.

Think getting the answers for the cause of the "apocalyptic" events of Doomsday Pillars.
Pretty long chapter? Avan, your chapters are never long enough nor released frequently enough for my preference. Especially with how I'm immediately reading every new chapter the moment I get notified of a new one being available.
