"Congratulations, Lord Lake, for your breakthrough into the High Grandmaster," I said as the old man opened his eyes, which are now twinkling with power.
He is the third one, the only one who had a problem, but now all of it has been healed. Its veins which have been a constant cause of worry for it, have been fully healed, and now he would be able to release all his power without any worry.
"Thank you, Grandmaster Zaar; without you, this old man wouldn't have been able to achieve this stage," he said and bowed before a Grandmaster came and led him out of the hall. Everything about him was perfect, so I immediately handed him to the Pyramid.
"Every month, the number of High-Grandmasters is increasing; I wonder whether there will be a time when we get a ten High-Grandmaster a month," said Lady May with her eyes burning fervently. "Why I am wondering that, of course, it will happen," she added and turned to me with those eyes.
I smiled mirthlessly at her words, not only me but others behind me also looking at her with the same expressions. They understood the gravity of the words she had just spoken.
"Lady May, what you said is not easy to accomplish; there are innumerable difficulties in achieving that," I said to her with a mirthless smile on my face. Seeing my expressions, she seemed to understand what she had just said, and her expressions immediately became sober.
"My apologies to you and your team, Grandmaster; I should not have spoken so thoughtlessly," she apologized. "You don't have to apologize, Lady May, as creating ten High-Grandmaster a month is our goal, but it is an extremly hard goal, which might take a month or over a year to achieve," I replied, which she nodded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI have formed many groups within projects and had been admitting the Grandmasters, who had potential.
I have laid the formation for it since I produced the first batch of Grandmasters of the project, selecting those with the potential to improve further, and I am still working on them, but it would still take more than a year before they could be ready to make advancement into the High-Grandmaster class.
Till then, I will have to focus on the old Grandmasters, and a lot of them have the potential to reach the High Grandmaster, and for them, I could afford to create a personalized treatment for their advancements.
Three Grandmasters have leveled up to the High-Grandmasters, and usually, I would greet them personally, but now I am a little busy. Grandmistress Charline has not finished her breakthrough yet, and while everything is going smoothly, I still like to be focused on her till she finishes her breakthrough.
A few minutes passed when finally, the powerful High-Grandmaster class aura shot out of Grandmistress Charline. The aura is far more powerful than all the Grandmasters who broke into the High-Grandmaster class, but it is also undeniably gentle.
"Teacher had finally done it," said Erica from behind me; she is with Elisabeth, another student of Grandmistress Charline or, should I say, Lady Charline.

She opened her eyes, but like all the High-Grandmaster whom I greeted, I did not greet her. Instead, I got up from my seat and walked toward the door before opening it and walking into the hall where she was sitting, which was still dense with the source energies of her Inheritance.
"Congratulations, Lady Charline," I said to her, to which she smiled and signed her thanks quickly before rapidly signing another thing.
"Grandmistress Charline," I said with a smile; like me, she also prefers to be referred to as the Grandmastress rather than the Lady. She is more proud of her achievement as the healer rather than the level of power she had achieved.
Though with her becoming a High Grandmaster, many things will become easier for her, and that will make a lot of things easier in the project.
"Congratulations, Grandmistress Charline," "Congratulations teacher,"
People congratulated her one after another, and it took a while before she left to consolidate her level while I went back with Lady May to the conference room. We need to talk about some things, and it is the best time for it.
"Lady May, you might have guessed what I have to say, but I will say it again; we need resources, the high and peak level ones; without them, we wouldn't be able to move forward with the High-Grandmasters," I said seriously.
The resources I am talking about are the High-Grandmaster class and Grand Lord class; we do not have those resources in a large amount. Especially the Grand Lord class, for it, I am totally dependent on the council to provide.
"The council understands, but we have a limited number of those resources, and only Grand Lords could acquire them," she said with a sigh. "Though, we are having a meeting about that this evening; there will be people from supremes and other big organizations, along with the Grand Lords," she said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Thank You," I said; I know the council is doing its best, and they are providing me resources, even though they are barely at the edge. If I did not receive them for a single month, many things would come to a standstill, and this is a thing I would hate to see happening.
"Though, I am sure; the organizations wouldn't hesitate to open their coffers for you if you accepted that suggestion," she said softly, to which I shook my head.
"I will not accept something that will compromise the freedom of the project," I said, repeating the same line I had repeated so many times. The quota system is bad; it would not only restrict my freedom but also bring the micro-management and pressure that I do not need.
"I will convey your words to the council," she said with a smile and disappeared while I remained in my spot before opening the files and a couple of meta-scans.
The success of the High-Grandmaster project is good, but I want to make it great. It was not big words when I said, I want to make ten High-Grandmasters every month; it is a great challenge, a near impossible one considering it is the High-Grandmaster we are talking about and not a simple Grandmasters.
I studied and looked through the documents for a while before closing them and bringing out another set; these belong to the actual High-Grandmasters, whom I am trying to take to the absolute limit; I even had success, a single one; it is a success considering how hard it is to take them to the absolute limit.
75% of the Grand Lord class resources were consumed by these people; still, the number is better than it was two months ago when I needed to spend 90% of Grand Lord class resources on them.
I am making progress, collecting data, and improving the methods to be more efficient and use lesser class resources while giving a similar amount of benefits. I plan to reduce the resources I used on the High-Grandmasters and use those resources on the Grandmasters to help them reach the High-Grandmaster class.
I hope I succeed.
