Ten minutes later, Qin Yan, Lin Shiqi, and Li Ruobing followed Li Ruobing into the meeting room within the academy. Some people were already seated in the room, and more were arriving continuously. Soon, all the attendees had gathered, and President Li Ruobing began to speak slowly:

"I have gathered everyone here today to discuss an important matter. Just a while ago, I received a phone call from a Director Wei from the Sky Shield Bureau. He contacted me with the intention for our Academy of Supernaturals to come under their jurisdiction, become a subordinate department, and transfer all technology and resources related to supernatural abilities to them."

"What? Isn't this outright robbery? Ice Sister, did you agree to his request?" Lin Shiqi exclaimed in surprise.

"No, Director Wei mentioned that if I don't agree, when the 'Chiyou' organization attacks our academy, they will completely ignore it. Even if the 'Chiyou' organization destroys our academy, they will not intervene. If I agree to their request, they can provide us protection and prevent the 'Chiyou' organization from attacking our academy."

"They are taking advantage of the situation, aren't they?" Gao Zhanxiang, a meeting participant, angrily remarked.

Li Ruobing grimly continued, "Our academy is currently facing a life-and-death situation. I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on this matter."

The attendees started discussing, some advocating for a firm stance against both the 'Chiyou' organization and the Sky Shield Bureau, while others leaned towards cooperation. Due to the lack of consensus, the discussion went on for a while without reaching a viable solution.

"Continuing like this won't lead us anywhere. Time is running out, and we must come up with a strategy; otherwise, we will be sitting ducks," Li Ruobing said with a troubled expression, silencing the previously noisy room.

"How about this, since we can't reach a consensus, let President Li make the decision," Gao Zhanxiang suggested, a sentiment echoed by others. Despite Qin Yan being relatively young and holding no official position in the academy, his opinion was highly valued due to his previous contributions in protecting the academy from the 'Chiyou' organization.

Li Ruobing pondered, but after struggling to come up with a feasible solution, she looked towards the quiet Qin Yan and asked, "Qin Yan, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this matter."

Instantly, all eyes in the meeting room turned to Qin Yan, waiting for his response. No one underestimated him due to his age or lack of official position, as without Qin Yan, the academy would have been destroyed by the 'Chiyou' organization months ago.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Yan spoke, "Since the other side has shown hostility and is fully prepared to attack us, we should also strike back with full force. Otherwise, they will see us as easy targets and become even more arrogant."

Gao Zhanxiang questioned, "Are you suggesting we engage in a war with them? But they are the Sky Shield Bureau and the 'Chiyou' organization working together. The Sky Shield Bureau has significant social authority, and the 'Chiyou' organization is powerful with numerous supernaturals. Engaging them directly would leave us with no chance of winning."

Qin Yan responded, "Captain Gao, you're right. We cannot confront them head-on in a direct battle, but we can find other ways to approach the situation, identify their weaknesses and vulnerabilities."

"What should we do then?"

"It's up to everyone here. With so many people, there should be a solution among us."

Everyone started discussing again, this time with a specific direction and goal in mind. They were all actively brainstorming ideas, and suddenly Zhao Liang from the academy's special task force spoke up, "How about we release information online about supernatural abilities, causing them a lot of trouble."

Qin Yan's eyes lit up, finding the plan intriguing, "But will this plan work? The outside world seems to tightly control information in this area. Will we be able to release this information?"

"Don't worry about that," Gao Zhanxiang chuckled, "Liang is a computer genius, especially skilled in hacking into various websites to gather intelligence. Information blockade won't be a problem for him."

Li Ruobing nodded in agreement with the suggestion, "Yes, this is indeed a good idea. Once these matters are made public, it should stir significant social reactions and disrupt their plans effectively."

At that moment, Qin Yan remembered something and asked, "President Li, I heard that the academy has successfully developed a new drug to trigger supernatural abilities, is that true?"

"Yes," Li Ruobing explained in detail, knowing that Qin Yan might have a new idea, "This new drug can transform young people aged ten to twenty into supernaturals. Even slightly older or less fit individuals can use it. Besides having relatively low-level supernatural abilities, there are minimal side effects. Once this drug is used, human adaptability to radiation will greatly increase, allowing for better adaptation to the current Earth environment."

"Let's go with that," Qin Yan turned to Zhao Liang, "Besides releasing information about supernatural abilities to the public, also announce that our academy has developed a drug that can cure all humans and save everyone in the world!"

"Wow, great!" Instructor Hong slammed his hands on the table, exclaiming loudly, "This drug can only be developed by our academy, meaning only we can save humanity. If the Sky Shield Bureau continues to target us, they will essentially be going against the rest of the world. They will have to consider the consequences of their actions."

"This plan seems feasible!"

"Our academy is saved this time!"

The faces of everyone in the meeting room lit up with excitement, all in agreement with the proposal. This strategic move not only avoided a direct confrontation with the Sky Shield Bureau and the 'Chiyou' organization but also served as a powerful deterrent, making them think twice before encroaching on the academy.
