Chapter 196: Potential Seedling
(Hydra Star System- Planet Sinetera)
(Starship Vieperion X567- Command Center)
An enormous starship was currently orbiting planet Sinetera with multiple teleportation chambers installed.
This was the transport vessel used to house the exam invigilators and the students once they finished the midterm exam.
It was equipped with state-of-the-art orbital cannons and multiple ergency dical rooms along with regeneration chambers.
At the front of the vessel was the command center where the data gathered from the various teams monitoring the students would be sent.
This allowed the higher up supervisors to take a look at the information and catch any errors or concerns.
Principal Malik adjusted his posture on the mory foam chair as his eyes constantly flickered between the nurous holographic windows in front of him.
Previous principals did not pay much attention to the first-year classes as it was assud that they still had much improvent to make.
They would simply sent an assistant or secretary to monitor the situation and only personally attend the exams featuring the third and fourth years.
Principal Malik was an exception as he made sure to attend the midterms of every year to personally check the progress of the students.
There would always be surprises and potential seedlings that would shine.
In fact, in this current exam there were several students he was keeping an eye on.
But this exam had one student in particular who was worthy of his attention.
“Can you give the na and background of the student on Island 020?” he calmly asked Instructor Selvon.
Selvon glanced at the familiar figure on the screen and replied, “Sophie Peterlor from the elite class.”
“Her father is the forr military commander of the Imperial Army and her mother is an unknown alien species.”
“She is the heir apparent to House Peterlor.”
Principal Malik raised an eyebrow in disbelief and peered even closer at the hybrid girl who was currently surrounded by the torn up remains of the Mirage Maw.
It had been a quick end to the fight once Sophie had snapped out of the illusion pollen’s influence and her blade-like appendages tore through the flesh of the monster with ease.
She didn’t stop even as the creature attempted to desperately flee to the deeper parts of the lake.
There was no rcy given.
Duke Peterlor’s prowess in battle and his insane cultivation talent was well known among the Federation having been the youngest to reach the god stage.
Malik himself had on one occasion fought with the commander on the battlefield so years ago and the man left quite the impression.
He was still in the void stage at that ti, but his personality and charisma allowed him to win the hearts of his soldiers.
He was prideful but not arrogant.
Reckless with his own life but not with those of his subordinates.
Talented beyond asure but always hungry for another fight.
Principal Malik saw so of those qualities in his daughter, but it was clear that there were so differences as well.
But that level of ruthlessness….
That must have been inherited from the man once known as the ‘Blade Reaper.’
Principal Malik was not ignorant to the shift in culture that occurred once Rokan left the Imperial Army as his style of firm discipline and adherence to principles seed to be ignored by his successors.
Generally, the different sections of the Imperial Army whether it be the Quafes or the ndolesa would remain independent of each other but the changes on the human side were subtly influencing the rest.
The barrier device attached to the students also acted as a health monitoring device that could track changes that occurred.
Hence Sophie’s exam invigilators were notified as soon as she managed to breakthrough to the qi tide stage.
However, this did not stir up as much excitent as one would expect.
It was rare for a first year to reach the qi tide stage so early but not impossible.
Honestly, so professors even argued that stabilising your foundation was more important at early cultivation levels than breaking through.
Principal Malik made a small ntal note in his heart to add the hybrid girl to the representative list.
In five months, the four great universities would be holding a friendly sparring competition between their students.
Friendly was not the right word as the results of this competition would determine the rankings of each university.
Zrudread University had typically held on to the number one spot due to their combat heavy curriculum but in recent years the other universities had co extrely close to upsetting the status quo.
Particularly Tantibus University who had recently increased their ties to the Nephilim Church.
Modern day ndolesa warriors did not believe in higher powers but rather the strong among them were revered as idols.
Worshipping and drawing power from otherworldly beings was seen as shaful as the strength displayed was not your own.
But that did not an that they underestimated those who did.
Principal Malik himself had nearly lost a duel against a forr archbishop of the church who had joined the terrorist group Nevarda.
The strange abilities and mysterious techniques cast by the ex-priest had left quite an impression.
For a religion of peace, those demon knights and saints were fearso and dangerous warriors on the battlefield.
Sophie would make a fine addition to the qi tide stage team and Principal Malik had so expectations in his heart about how well she would perform.
One concern he did have was that the hybrid girl did not seem to be ntally stable as she easily got lost in a rage state.
Maybe he would recomnd a psychologist counselor to check up on her situation once the midterm exams were over.
Principal Malik mused over the matter for a few monts but eventually tossed it to the back of his mind.
He opened up so more monitoring feeds and gazed carefully at the actions of the various students.
Now was ti to take a peek at the other students to try to find so more seedlings….
