    You wipe some sweat off your brow as you take a seat in your finally complete office.

    It took a good amount of illusion placement to hide European styled medieval architecture In the middle of a Japanese metropolis, but you did it.

    But just because the constructions done doesn't mean you are.

    The Academy would only be truly self sufficient if it had an array of complex and expensive spells and enchantments.

    Which it did not.

    So it fell to you to get access to a full live in staff for basic things like cleaning and more, you have a few options...

    Academy Creation P2:

    Live in staff, choose 1:
    [ ]Golems
    Sturdy artificial beings animated through magic.
    +Versatile with what materials are used in their creation.
    ×Complete lack of individual decision making ability.

    [ ]Imps
    Small demonic creatures summoned and bound.
    +Not intelligent enough to knowingly exploit loopholes in binding contracts.
    ×Physically weak and not too bright in general.

    [ ]Kobold
    Lizardlike beings half the height of the average man.
    +Helpful and dutiful by nature.
    ×Mischievous and may get into the habit of giving some students and staff minor trouble.

    [ ]Shoggoths
    Eldritch entities from a distant world.
    +Shapeshifting and bodily manipulation allows them to move through tight spaces and adjust to environments.
    ×Can be unnerving to some.

    Samurai Armor Golems. Also the staff can do the magic and decision making so having tough and sturdy minions to do grunt work is preferable to kobolds that will cause trouble for the students and teacher, Eldritch beings that might scare the staff/students that they might not even ask for their help, or Imps that are both dumb and weak.

    ...Yeah that stands out a lot a European-style castle in Tokyo. Kinda agree with Red Angel but guess will see how things go.

    Would think the local groups when it was being built up would've commented on that.



    Shoggoth just to vote for it. The whole lack of individual decision making with the golems would certainly have problems. Also fine with Kobolds.

    While a European style castle in Tokyo is out of place, it's definitely something that the future students will probably notice. It will probably also generate conversation in the newer generations where they start asking things like: "Why are Wizards so obsessed with European castles and living in towers?"

    "Aaaamnndd...done!"

    You declare triumphantly as the last of the golems is animated. You may not focus on the physical world but the basic animation spell and programming are simple enough that it was no trouble.

    You put your hands on your hips and overlook your current workforce. They're mostly stone golems styled after Samurai. They'll be able to handle cleaning, simple maintenance and security to a degree.

    While by no means advanced in their combat enchantments, they have enough to hold their own in emergencies.

    You nod and walk back to your office knowing that the truly difficult part is now to come... hiring.

    You sit down and contemplate the various resumes of potential staff members who will be able to actually think.

    Academy Creation P3:

    What applicants to go over first?
    [ ]Vice headmaster applicants
    Your potential second in command within the school, will need to be able to communicate with you effectively and deal with students and paperwork alike.

    [ ]Teachers
    The ones who shall guide your students most. By far the most crowded category.

    [ ]Specialized Staff
    The Golems can only do so much. This category covers security officials, grounds keepers and chefs.
