After a few minutes of talking, Lothur explained his vehicle project to the principal of the Morning Star Academy.
"I see... So that's your plan." That man thought the same as Aiken but was less courteous and asked. "How do you intend to make this work when so many have tried and failed?"
"That's a secret, right?" Lothur smiled. "But if you want proof of how it will work, I will present an event for my backers in a few days. You'll be able to see my miniature there."
Luis heard this and considered looking at such an event since even if Lothur was going to fail, it was a fact that this young man was exceptionally talented.
Many 3-star and 4-star professionals had tried to produce something viable and failed, so this would not be the thing to diminish Lothur's talent and potential.
But Luis was still skeptical about the viability of Lothur's project. He then asked. "So, is that your purpose? Do you want to develop this business and use it to live your life peacefully without further developing your skills? Don't you think that's too little for someone talented?"
Lothur then said. "This is just one of my projects, probably the one with the most potential to shock the world in a short time. But I will do other things."
"Anyway, I think I will develop my skills even after achieving my goals. But it will be something I will do slowly, without rushing, without having to give up doing some things."
"I don't aim to become a leader."
Upon hearing this, Luis' eyes sparkled, as these words had a special meaning coming from Lothur to someone who knew what this man knew.
"I see... You have no interest in leading or participating in power struggles." He muttered.
After ignoring that, Lothur heard from that man. "So you don't want to go to spiritual classes? Not even moving up a sector? Just to have time for your projects?"
Lothur nodded. "Yes, I am here just to get a basic education. Otherwise, I wouldn't even waste my time coming to the academy..."
'Well, he was reached pretty far, considering he was learning on his own.' Luis thought about it, remembering the investigation he had commissioned regarding Lothur after the 'emergence' of this young man.
'On the other hand, the academy is not a public institution that tries to train people for the state. We are here to train cultivators because they pay us and are interested in it for themselves. So if one of our students isn't interested, what can I do?'
'He's the biggest 'aggrieved' one, so that's none of our business.' He made up his mind, considering this more bureaucratic side.
But then he remembered something and said. "Lothur, you will be able to attend Sector-2 classes and eventually proceed to Sector-3 by taking the exams, as before. But from the academy's point of view, from now on, you belong to Sector-6."
"What? What does that mean?" Lothur asked without understanding.
"You will have a similar routine as before. But regarding competitions within the academy and the missions you will be able to do, such things will no longer be limited by Sector-2." He said, turning back to a more relaxed expression.
As for Lothur, after hearing this, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. After all, as this would give him certain advantages, it also gave him some problems.
For example, following this, he would be able to do missions of a higher degree of difficulty because of this change. But this also meant that when competing for Secret Realm slots, he would have to do so against people from Sector-6, not Sector-2!
In other words, the difficulty of him getting one of the Secret Realm slots had just increased exponentially!
'Sigh... At least I'll be able to prepare better by doing more difficult missions, and I'll be able to improve my position in the student ranking.' He tried to think on the bright side while lamenting that he would have to compete with Viktoria's class.
'Luckily, Viktoria already got a spot, so she probably won't be participating in the competition...'
"It's okay, I understand." He said after thinking for a few moments.
Luis then said. "In any case, let's take a new aptitude exam. We can't stay with the incorrect information from before."
Hearing this, Lothur did not make it difficult by trying to refuse, as he had already done after his week of exams to move up from Sector-1 to Sector-2.
At that time, Lothur did not want to reveal his talent or abilities to keep the secret because of the Province Conference. But that occasion had passed, and there was no longer any need for him to hide it these days.
So, he soon began to be tested by Luis right there in that office, first passing a test regarding his talent level.
His talent was still at the Green grade, something quite good from the provincial point of view.
Someone with Green talent would hardly become an empire-level expert, but they would be influential within a province. Considering this, Luis thought Lothur's talent was pretty good, although he suspected something was wrong, considering how good this young man was at so many different professions.
'I wonder if this is his bloodline. Does it cause him to have some facility beyond the normal to learn spiritual professions?'
Bloodlines and even Physiques were things that had practically no limits. All sorts of abilities could arise from them, from those most useless to those of turning heaven and earth upside down.
So this man did not doubt that Lothur's genius was due to a bloodline ability.
After thinking about it, he quickly assessed Lothur's power, concluding that this young man was indeed at the 9th Transformation.
'His strength is a bit weak for someone at the 9th Transformation, but it is clear he has gone through a ninth spiritual cleansing.' He considered as he noted the result of Lothur's marrow test. 'Hmm, he must have a physical characteristic far superior to others of his abilities.'
But then, while taking Lothur's test, he noticed something about this young man that should not be there.
'Uh?'
'There's a Soul Bone in his skeleton!' His eyes widened, considering how surprising this was.
Soul Bones were rare, and hardly a young man like Lothur would have the chance to obtain or even buy one of these. Since the Frost family itself did not have any of these user-free, he could not have received this from them.
At the same time, Lothur's father would not give something like that to this young man, so Luis was very curious about this fact.
'Was it a meeting of fate?' He considered before failing to analyze Lothur's bloodline and Physique.
His assessment showed that Lothur had found a way to awaken both. But for some reason, he could not verify what the abilities of those two things were like, even considering it was possible to do that in other people...
'Is it the Soul Bone ability?' He considered before recording everything he should in Lothur's chart and finishing that procedure.
"Don't forget what I said. From now on, you will have to compete as a student of Sector-6."
"All right." Lothur was finally released, leaving that place not knowing what was on Luis' mind.
