“The third person you should be wary of is Zumba Mumba. I heard you guys once met before…” Quinn suddenly said his voice getting serious.
“Oh, is it that guy with a strange hat?” Zeras said quickly remembering him due to his strange name.
“Yes, he’s a Joker race expert and he’s also powerful. If you’ve encountered a Joker race expert before, you’ll know they are not direct battle combatants but they have very strange art and can defeat a powerful warrior in the blink of an eye and they won’t even move a single muscle…” Quinn said, amazement in his eyes.
“They use tricks, the one with a mentality of using smarts instead of brawns. Instead of learning combat techniques, they spend their time delving into ancient secrets and deciphering lost arts…” Vornek said, his eyes looking into the distance as if remembering something.
“And I heard Zumba is actually a genius even among his race and he also recently broke through to the Meteor rank stage. Even I am not so sure I can take him on…” Quinn said seriously as Zeras raised an eyebrow.
When he met the kid, he didn’t even glance at him but it seemed he was more powerful than he looked, to make the overconfident Quinn doubt himself.
“The fourth person is actually strange. His name is Eliot Norgodomev. He’s not even among the top 200, yet he already broke through to the Meteor rank stage, shocking everyone senseless.
As for how powerful he is, no one knows, just that his first genetic ability is a long white katana.” Zeras said as Vornek looked at him raising an eyebrow. He didn’t know anything about Eliot.
“The last person is someone you know very well.”
“Who?”
“Your girlfriend.”
“I don’t have a girlfriend.”
“Your dream girlfriend.”
“What’s that?” Zeras raised his eyebrows as he looked at Quinn who had a certain sick smile on his face.
“It’s Gaia, Gaia Shiron. She’s now a Meteor rank stage expert…” “Wow…” Zeras said his mouth forming an O shape.
“It’s not surprising at all. That girl is a training maniac after all…” Quinn said winking at him as an evil understanding smile appeared on his face.
“You’re very dirty-minded…” Zeras said as he ignored him.
“So how do you think you’ll do…” Vornek said from the side, already finishing the gigantic plate of food.
“Hmph, what if I told you guys I’ve broken through to the Meteor rank stage too,” Zeras said with a smile.
“You’ve not…” Vornek said very surely.
“Well, Meteor rank stage experts can easily identify themselves as a type of attunement that will occur immediately on sighting each other. As for you, you radiate a lesser signal…” Quinn said as Zeras raised an eyebrow.
He never knew something like that was possible. It seems everyone will be aware of each other’s cultivation stage upon arriving at the Meteor rank stage, unlike the Star rank stage.
“Meteor rank stage huh? You all don’t worry, even if I lost my dorm room, I can still come live in you guys’ dorm room right…” “I don’t have a problem with that. Just know you’ll be sleeping on the floor as I prefer to sleep in my dragon form which takes all the space in the bed.” Vornek said unperturbed.
“Mine is free, but with a fee of course…” Quinn said winking at him.
“Damn you both. I’ll shock all of your ass tomorrow.” Zeras said snorting coldly. Losing his dorm room, his comfy bed and that heavenly made Mana cultivation room that was one of the main reasons for the rapid growth of his cultivation.
Not a chance!!!
“That’s good. I heard some of the Second years will be watching and even the Instructors. The event is a pretty big one after all.”
“So you must do well…” Vornek butted in his golden eyes looking into Zera’s.
“Of course I will. How can the friend of a dragon and one from the Nine families be weak…” Zeras said puffing his chest.
“Even if I’m to run across the both of you. I’ll show no mercy and simply wipe you both around the battle stage…” Zeras said with pride.
“Tch, you’ll have to catch me first to do that…” Quinn said with disdain.
“You have no idea how big I am…” Vornek said with a plain look as the trio moved out of yeh cafeteria, laughter and chuckle ringing out.
Unbeknownst to the trio, a figure sat down at the far end of the cafeteria, the farthest table from them as he watched them leave the Cafeteria.
A pack of cards was wriggling around his fingers with a speed and control that can only be described as supernatural.
“How interesting…” A smile appeared on his face which was faced down and his upper face was covered by the dark hat he was putting on.
The figure slowly raised his hands upwards as he raised the watch in his hands upwards where a notification and a notification could be seen.
<Bring one of his soul fragments to me tomorrow night after the event…>

Zeras arrived in front of his dorm room as he entered into it heading for his bedroom.
Landing on the bouncy bed, Zeras immediately called out the system.
It was time to level up his ability.
[Genetic Skills]
>>Bio-morph- Level 2
[Living And Non-living Morphing]
{Ability to change Host’s Bio-morph to include non-living physiology}
>>Chaos Devouring- Level 2
{Host can absorb the life-essence of those either killed by the host or not to increase his energy}
[Absolute Chaotic Existence Skills]
>>Eyes Of Chaos: The host can view the true chaotic state of reality.
>>Hollow Domain: Ability to create a domain where the Host is Supreme.
[Ability Upgrade Card: +3]
“Level up Hollow Domain” Zeras ordered, he didn’t know what the ability even did but he was sure it would be pretty cool.
[Error, Your Authority skills can not be upgraded, they can only be improved with a greater fusion of the Chaos Devourer gene]
“Oh? ” Zeras muttered slightly surprised but it kinda made sense when he thought about it, he only obtained them in the first place due to the fusion so they should naturally increase with more future fusion.
“Level up Absolute Morph Gene twice, and level up Dash…”
[Congratulations Dash has been upgraded.]
>>Dash: Increases your speed to five times your normal speed on getting activated.
[Congratulations your Absolute Morph Gene has been upgraded twice.]
[Congratulations, Your Absolute Morph Gene is now a C-grade genetic ability.]
[The Comprehension of Your Genetic Ability Increases…]
[You have achieved Alternate Control of Bio-morph]
[There are no limitations to the part of your body you can now transform to living or non-living physiology]
His speed was his main weapon and his Absolute Morph Gene was his beloved human genome. Those two were some of the most liked abilities he ever possessed.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face looking at all his genetic abilities before switching off the system and going to sleep.
Tomorrow would be a great day. A day the EIA would witness the power of the First of the New Cadets rankings, and also a day he’ll finally be able to check the limit of his abilities if they had one in the first place.
