Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 64 Benefits

?

Michael and the others spent more than two hours inside the hut, caressing the Bilrox hatchlings, and watching the Lesser Tamer taking care of the newest members in the territory.

After two hours, the three hatchlings had fallen asleep. Michael reminded the Lesser Tamer once again to take care of the Bilrox hatchlings and do everything possible to raise them well before he and the others left the hut.

Once the miraculous event of the Bilrox hatchlings' birth was over, Michael began with the task distribution for the following days. 

He was not sure for how long he would be away, but he wanted to make sure that everyone would be busy while he left to attend the graduation ceremony of his high school.

Michael was still not looking forward to it, but he could tell that the graduation ceremony would turn into an interesting event, especially with his old homeroom teacher and Niklas Liekhoven present, and the afterparty later.

He was still oblivious to his final exam score, but he didn't really care about that anymore, either. Somehow, marks and grades felt negligible to him after having fought with his life on the line several times. His life in the Origin Expanse was different from the days he spent in Laki. 

Michael had responsibilities now, and he felt like certain parts of his previous life had become insignificant.

Half an hour later, Michael finished distributing the tasks. His War Rune's storage space was also filled to the brim with the most valuable body parts of the countless monsters he had collected during the last four days.

All preparations had been completed, and Michael left the Origin Expanse once again. 

He returned home and appeared in his apartment. 

The first thing he did was to open the crystal watch to see the time.

[13:51 pm] 

"There are still four hours left before the graduation ceremony begins. That's more than enough," Michael murmured before he switched to the messenger app.

His brother hadn't sent him a message, but it looked like Alice Zenovia had sent a detailed answer to the question he had asked her before. It was related to the benefits of the Saphirelake Military Camp's benefits.

However, before he opened the message, Michael hailed a shuttle and took a shower. He took a quick shower, put on the clothes he washed last time, and left the apartment.

After getting inside the shuttle, he opened Alice's message at last.

[Alice Zenovia(fierce beauty): I am generous enough to forgive your insolent behavior. HOWEVER, don't think that I will always be that generous. It is hard to be the bigger person, you know?!]

[Alice Zenovia(fierce beauty): Either way, I'm glad that you're asking me about the benefits the Saphirelake Military Academy has over other Military Academies and Universities. First of all, the Saphirelake Military Academy has yet to be registered in the ranking of top education institutes since it opened less than five years ago. That is also why you might have a hard time finding credible information about the Saphirelake Military Academy and its benefits. 

However, you can be at ease with me by your side. I will be your beautiful guide!] 

[Alice Zenovia(fierce beauty): The biggest benefit of the Saphirelake Military Academy is that it's one of mankind's first educational institutions in the Zenot Stellar System. If you don't know much about the Zenot Stellar System yet, it is also the stellar system where we encountered the Barbarians and the Warlock Centaurs first. 

The Tritan Alliance was signed in the Zenot Stellar System as well.

The government has high hopes for the Saphirelake Military Academy and the other educational institutions on Kelta, which is mostly thanks to the Barbarians and Warlock Centaurs. The government requested the strongest human Lords and Adventurers to become professors and instructors of mankind's education institutions within the Zenot Stellar System. This was a predicament to make sure that the younger generations of humanity would be protected and strengthened to spar with the Barbarians and Warlock Centaurs head-on.

The Barbarians and Warlock Centaurs are proud races. They love war and are very powerful, but they take honor and the Warrior oath very seriously.

That is also why the government wants to make sure that the Barbarians and Warlock Centaurs take mankind seriously. The easiest way to achieve this is by showing the superiority of our youngest generation. We can only show our rapid growth rather than the strength of our oldest Lords. After all, their oldest generations have been Lords in the Origin Expanse for Millenia, while we've only been there for half a millenia. ]

Michael had to take a short break while reading her long message. He was still inside the shuttle, and on his way to the Central Trading Hall but his mind was somewhere else.

'Either her message is chaotic, or my mind is…So…No, I should first read everything and then figure out if I understood her properly…'

Michael calmed down and read Alice's next message.

[Alice Zenovia(fierce beauty): Due to the high hopes the government has for the educational institutions in the Zenot Stellar System, they invest much more funds in the Saphirelake Military Academy than the academies and universities in the Solar system. However, that is not everything. The Saphirelake Military Academy received big funding from charity organizations of big families of clans. The reasons behind this are simple.

First, they want to make sure that their children can attend the Military Academy without wasting their precious time with the application process and aptitude assessment. Second, the big families and organizations want to gain a little bit more power and say in the government and in the Military Academy to research information about other students. This is to search for potential targets to lure into their own clans or families. 

After all, only the best of the best will be able to attend the academies and universities in the Zenot Stellar System!!

There are a few more reasons but I doubt that you want to hear all of them.

P.S Don't worry, the big families and organizations won't have a lot of power. Even my family doesn't have a permanent seat in the committee, yet.]

[Alice Zenovia(fierce beauty): Thus, the benefits of the Saphirelake Military Academy can be boiled down to two major factors; A vast pool of resources, and the strongest Lords and Adventurers as professors and instructors to teach you!]

Michael began to frown when he read Alice's last message. He was a bit mad.

'You…couldn't you have sent only the last message and left it at that?!?' Michael thought at first.

However, after giving it some more thought he realized that he had spent at most two or three minutes reading the messages, but Alice had spent a lot more time explaining everything to him in detail.

Michael was also fairly sure that Alice had shared confidential information with him, which was much more than he could have hoped for.

'Maybe, I shouldn't be such a pain in the ass to her?' He thought, glad that he hadn't sent her a message yet.

The shuttle arrived at the destination, and Michael got out a moment later. However, his eyes were still glued to the information Alice shared with him.

It would be a lie if he were to say that he was not interested in the Saphirelake Military Camp and getting to know Barbarians and Warlock Centaurs. 

Despite that, Michael didn't really want to be thrown into a pool full of sharks once again. His time in high school had been nothing short of a nightmare, and he didn't want to go through the same misery again.

But as soon as he thought of it, Michael froze in his tracks.

"Who says that it will be the same as before?" He asked out loud suddenly.

He had changed over the past few days.

Now, Michael had powerful Soultraits, and the means to become much stronger as long as he survived the ordeals of the Untamed Jungle. 

It was even possible for him to extract more Soultraits and increase their Star-rating. 

Why would he have to be afraid of the kids born with a silver spoon in their mouths that would attend the Military Academy alongside him?

He just had to crush them if they acted up!

It would be great if you could leave a review as well. Every bit helps :D
