Afterward, the online meeting continued as intended.

Sometime later, once the several instructors were done with lightly briefing about the examinations held in the cities under their jurisdiction and recommending students, Theodore hummed slightly and said,

"There were only two students that managed to clear the test of agility in the city under my jurisdiction. I would like to recommend both of them for the nurturing plan."

He recommended Vincent and Nevis and played a recording of their performance in the entrance examination.

A lot of instructors frowned as they watched the recording of their performance.

"Does anyone have any objections?" Theodore asked as his gaze swept past several individual that were visibly frowning in disarmament.

However, in front of the instructor of combat, none of them had enough guts to voice out their disagreement.

Well, none except for one.

"A portion of the resources this year was separated to nurture only the most talented newly enlisted students and I don't that the ones recommended by you are worthy enough. Vincent merely took advantage of the situation. Otherwise, there wasn't a chance for him to win the test of agility. As for the other one, I don't even want to waste my breath talking about such a disgraceful thing." Nicolas raised objections. His expression was especially vexed once he mentioned Nevis.

"I believe we should nurture someone that belongs to the Avalon Empire or great royal families like Felix or Varth. This way, we can strengthen our friendly relations with them. So, who is in support of my decision?" He added immediately without letting anyone interfere.

"I agree with instructor Nicolas!"

"Me too!"

A lot of people raised their hands in support.

The Avalon Empire and the Great Royal Ambrose Family provided support and resources to the military academy established in the world's connecting space shared by planet Earth and the world of Lorena.

It was pretty easy to discern why instructor Nicolas and a lot of other instructors showed heavy favoritism to the royal descendants of the four families especially the Great Royal Ambrose family and the Avalon Empire.

"What blatant discrimination! Even if you think that Vincent and Nevis aren't worthy, what made you think that Felix and Varth are worthy? Their results are far worse than the first-mentioned students. Not just them, but also Leilani and Geom." The President of the student body, Eric Avalon, a royal descended of the might Avalon Empire spoke out in favor of the commoner Leilani and the noble Geom.

Eric looked like a pretty boy as Eric's facial features were easy on the eyes and his skin was smooth and shiny.

The moment Eric said his piece of mind, the expression of instructor Nicolas and the people supporting him turned gentler.

"I can understand. Vincent and Geom do deserve a place in the alpha classes. Leilani is a commoner barely meeting the requirements to become a part of Alpha classes. She also indeed has the qualifications to become a part of the alpha classes. I am not against it. However, the last one is a shame on nobility. It's impossible to allow him to become a part of the nurturing plan or the alpha class in general!" Instructor Nicolas didn't want to stand against Eric. However, he didn't couldn't let a unholy existence like Nevis enjoy privileges in the academy. He also wanted to save a nurturing spot for a royal descendant. That's why he spoke in a way that seemed like he was favoring Vincent when in actuality, he was trying to steal the spot he deserved!

A lot of instructors could sympathize with his words.

Nevis was the son of the Emperor of true might and his beloved wife, Giovanni–a descendants of a "slave".

The head of the most strongest great royal family marrying a damned descendant of a war slave with a manly name and even producing an heir with her was more than enough to foul the moods of nobility.

As mentioned before, ability cells are inherited genetically. According to scientific analysis on this subject, there's a 99% chance that a child will inherit the ability cells of the dominant party during the impregnation process. In simpler words, the descendants of the emperor of true might will inherit the Truemight ability cells without a doubt.

However, Nevis didn't inherit any ability cells at all. Just like his mother, he wasn't able to awaken either. His body wasn't able to retain ability cells even after consuming evolution materials.

He was called a cursed child!

A shame on the greatest great royal family.

Though no one raised objection at that time or said anything bad in particular about Nevis and his mother as they didn't want to incur the wrath of the strongest human in the universe.

After the death of his mother, a wild rumor spread like wildfire that the emperor of true might has lost all interest in the cursed child of his beloved wide.

The reason?

Many believe that it is because the emperor's most beloved wife died due to misfortune brought by the cursed child.

The noble that couldn't stand the sight of the one tainting their names and honor were finally able to address their dissatisfaction and redirect their anger.

In particular, the main reason as to why Nevis was bullied pertained heavily to him being labeled as a cursed child due to his inability to awaken.

The words of Nicolas enticed a lot of others to voice their objections regarding this matter, and as the audience's loud voices of objection began sounding in the ears of Tirion, his mood soured.

"All quiet." As his stern glare loomed over the others, their mouth closed automatically. A few moments later, silence returned to the meeting, and he continued, "What are your thoughts on this matter, instructor Theodore."

Theodore exhaled with a somewhat bored and exhausted look on his face and said, "Taking advantage of a situation is also part of one's ability. Besides, Vincent is better than you might be imagining. I am in support of Vincent joining the nurturing plan. Moreover, why must you the lot of you discriminate against a youngster? Is it that your skin has gotten so thick that you have lost all sense of shame or just what?"

As soon as he said those words, the ones in objection to his decision felt their face burning as if someone has slapped them hard on the face.

His words showed that he wasn't going to give face to anyone no matter what their status.

He followed the iron rule of "Respect should be earned not taken for granted!"

"I also agree," Ethan spoke in his support. "Individual strength is a completely different matter from analytical skills, battle sense, and use of psychological warfare. The child proved his excellent battle sense by increasing his blood flow in the test of titan's strength to boost his physical capabilities. Similarly, in the following tests, he scored the highest because he won a psychological battle against instructor Theodore and used his keen observations to use the projectiles to increase his speed. His battle against Felix also proved his excellent combat skills. It should be our honor to nurture a child like him!"

"Furthermore, we shouldn't discriminate against anyone because of their status or a great royal because of mere rumors!"

Before anyone could say words of objection, the student president raised his hand in support of their decision and said,

"Yes, indeed! We shouldn't forget that he is the best examinee of the cloud tower for a reason. It wouldn't be wrong to call someone a blind dog if they deny the reasoning skills and knowledge Vincent has shown so far!"

As soon as he said those words, Nicolas and the rest couldn't come up with objections as they didn't know what to say.

"However—"

Nicolas opened his mouth to say something in disagreement over this matter, but Theodore interrupted him.

"Before you all say anything against us, know this, the boy hasn't awakened. He still hasn't evolved like the other top examinees. I have confirmed it myself. As for the abilities he used in the tests, I am confident that those were racial traits."

Theodore's words came as a shock to all of them. It was as if thunder had rumbled in the clouded night skies and lighting had struck the group of people who were in agreement and disagreement with Theodore's decision.

The heated yet somewhat silent atmosphere was immediately replaced by the exclamation of the shocked audience.

"What the hell? Are you sure he hasn't awakened?!"

"I believe I was clear enough!"

"Doesn't that means, he is a demi-human born with a special ability! Once he evolves, he will become special as his physical capabilities will be enhanced and he will be able to use two abilities!"

"To think that there was someone could score so high without evolving and awakening an ability… I don't know what to say." Nicolas said in awe.

"Indeed, it is wonderful for a person that hasn't evolved to perform so well in the entrance examination. I have no objection to using resources to heavily nurture such a talented youth! I believe you all share the same thoughts on this matter," Eric said.

It wasn't only the student council present that was now in support of Vincent, but also a lot of others, some belonged to the side that has been objecting to his admission in the nurturing program.

"Instructor Theodore's judgment is great like always." The Dean couldn't help but praise the most powerful instructor of the military academy.

The ones with the highest authority were in support of Vincent being heavily nurtured by academy resources.

Furthermore, now no one objected to the cursed child joining the alpha class.

What could they even do in this situation?

It's not like they could disagree and offend the highest authorities of the military academy!

Who didn't know what happens when one of the three is offended!

They didn't want to lose their jobs and face!

"Then, it's decided. The last spot will go to Vincent, while Nevis and everyone be it a commoner or not, will enroll in the alpha class as long as their final result is above 20 points!" Tirion announced in a hurry as he looked at the peoples in the meeting one last time for today.

"With that said, the meeting is adjourned!"

At soon as the Dean of the military academy said those words, the online meeting channel immediately closed.
