The sky in Jiroto City was still blue, but there was a subtle sense of tension in the air. A special meeting is taking place in the Hand of Brahma headquarters building. Great Elder Brishihan sat at the head, the other elders and senior members sat around a huge round table, and Ebert stood in the middle of the room, feeling everyone's gaze. The atmosphere at the elders' meeting was somewhat subtle. Ebert's promotion ceremony is being prepared. It should have been a celebration full of joy and congratulations, but his magic level of "Mentor Level 2" forces him to face some potential discussions and doubts.
Although Ebert only has the strength of a Level 2 mentor and has not yet reached the standard of Level 6 mentor to be promoted to elder, he has the blessing of the Level 6 grandmaster Ghost King servant, which makes his strength close to that of the three major masters and becomes one of the most powerful forces at the negotiation table.
Brishihan cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, we are holding this special meeting today to discuss an unprecedented proposal." He paused and looked at everyone present, "I propose to promote Ebott to our third-level elder."
As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room fell into silence. After a while, discussions broke out one after another.
"But, Great Elder," an elderly Second-level Elder said, "Ebert has only joined us not long ago, and his magic level..."
Brishihan raised his hand to signal him to be quiet. "I know your doubts. Yes, according to our tradition, the position of elder usually requires the strength of a sixth-level mentor. However," his eyes became sharp, "we must realize that Ebott brings us more than just magical strength."
He stood up and began to walk slowly. "Since joining us, Ebert has been making great contributions to the organization. His combination of scientific knowledge and magic has opened up a new field of research for us. In the battle against the mysterious man, his strategy and courage saved countless lives. His ghost king servant, whose strength is comparable to that of a sixth-level master, used his powerful strength to help us overcome the crisis, eliminate the mysterious man Gordan, and restore peace to the city of Jiroto.
Hearing this, the elders present couldn't help but gasp. Although they had heard about it before, they were still shocked to hear the confirmation from the Great Elder with their own ears.
"Strength and contribution are equally important," Brishhan continued. "Ebert's unique abilities and the changes he has brought are enough to make up for his shortcomings in magic level. Moreover, I believe that with the status of an elder, he can bring us more contributions."
The conference room fell silent again, as everyone weighed the pros and cons of this decision. Finally, a highly respected second-level elder stood up and said, "I support the proposal of the great elder. Ebert has indeed brought us great changes. His promotion will inspire more young people to contribute to the organization."
As the elder expressed his views, more and more voices of support emerged. Although some people still remain silent, the voices of opposition are minimal.
Brishihan nodded with satisfaction. "Then, I declare that from now on, Ebott will be promoted to our third-level elder. Now, let's start the promotion ceremony."
The ceremony took place in the hallowed hall of the headquarters. Ebert stood in the center of the magic circle, surrounded by the elders in a circle. Brishhan held the scepter and began to chant ancient spells. As the spell sounded, the magic circle began to glow, and a powerful magical power began to flow in Ebert's body.
As the ceremony drew to a close, Brishhan pinned a badge with the symbol of Brahma's hand on Ebot's chest. "From today on, you are one of us, Elder Ebot. May you bring more glory to the organization."
After the ceremony, Ebert felt a change in his identity. As a third-level elder, he now has the right to participate in the organization's daily decision-making, guide the training of young members, and even preside over some important magic research projects.
His former friends, such as Bhrigu, Akash, Leela, Lillian and others, came to offer their most sincere blessings and congratulate him on his promotion to the position of elder.
However, not everyone is happy with the decision. At the subsequent celebratory reception, Ebert noticed that some elders and senior members had mixed emotions in their eyes. They had polite smiles on their faces, but their eyes could not hide their doubts and unwillingness.
A senior member named Rakesh walked up to Ebot and whispered, "Congratulations, Elder Ebot. However, I must remind you that the position of elder means greater responsibility. We will pay close attention to your performance."
Abbott understood their feelings. After all, in the magical world, strength is often an important criterion for measuring a person's value. And he, a magician of the second-level mentor, jumped to the position of the third-level elder, which did make many people feel uncomfortable.
But Abbott was not discouraged. He knew that it was because of his uniqueness that he had the opportunity to stand in this position. He was determined to prove his worth through practical actions.
That night, Abbott returned to his residence, where Alana and Saraswati had been waiting for a long time.
"Congratulations, Elder Ebott," Alanna said with a smile, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes, "But you have to be careful. This position will bring you more challenges and competition."
Saraswati was more direct: "Some people will use jealousy against you. You have to be vigilant at all times."
Ebert nodded. He knew that this position brought not only power but also responsibility and risk. But he was ready.
"I understand," he said firmly, "and I will prove my worth with my actions. Our organization needs to change and combine science and magic. This is where my strengths lie."
As night fell, Ebert stood at the window, gazing at the starry sky in the distance. He knew that his journey had just begun. As a scientist from the future and an elder of the Hand of Brahma, one can only see the rainbow after going through wind and rain. He has the responsibility to change the world.
