The Spider Queen

(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 emergency medical 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 memory foam chair as his eyes constantly flickered between the numerous holographic windows in front of him.

Previous principals did not pay much attention to the first-year classes as it was assumed that they still had much improvement 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 me the name 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 former 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 mercy 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 some years ago and the man left quite the impression.

He was still in the void stage at that time, 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 measure but always hungry for another fight.

Principal Malik saw some of those qualities in his daughter, but it was clear that there were some 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 seemed to be ignored by his successors.

Generally, the different sections of the Imperial Army whether it be the Quafes or the Mendolesa 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 excitement as one would expect.

It was rare for a first year to reach the qi tide stage so early but not impossible.

Honestly, some professors even argued that stabilising your foundation was more important at early cultivation levels than breaking through.

Principal Malik made a small mental 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 come extremely close to upsetting the status quo.

Particularly Tantibus University who had recently increased their ties to the Nephilim Church.

Modern day Mendolesa 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 shameful as the strength displayed was not your own.

But that did not mean that they underestimated those who did.

Principal Malik himself had nearly lost a duel against a former 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 fearsome and dangerous warriors on the battlefield.

Sophie would make a fine addition to the qi tide stage team and Principal Malik had some 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 mentally stable as she easily got lost in a rage state.

Maybe he would recommend a psychologist counselor to check up on her situation once the midterm exams were over.

Principal Malik mused over the matter for a few moments but eventually tossed it to the back of his mind.

He opened up some more monitoring feeds and gazed carefully at the actions of the various students.

Now was time to take a peek at the other students to try to find some more seedlings….
