Chapter 84: Common Sense!
Kent Clawn was of Noble Birth.
His Clan the Clawns was a very influential Clan, and he was their Number 1 prodigy since it was formed.
He graduated from the Academy last year, and this year? he was already a peak A-Rank.
The entire City was flabbergasted by this news as this was something only heard of by Children of the Emperor.
Reaching The Peak of A-Rank a year after graduating from the Academy? This was pure nonsense!
The resources available at the Celestial Academy weren't available anywhere else, even the Emperor himself didn't have some of the things they had.
Of course, they also didn't have some of the things he had which was something nobody believed at first but were proven wrong again and again.
Whatever the case was, It was a known fact that the sudden burst in growth only happened when Children were in the Academy as after they get out it gets a million times harder to progress in ranks.
Fulfilling conditions is harder, Leveling up is harder, Resources are nowhere to be found, and the time wasn't there either.
Gone were the Contribution points and anything else the Students had when they were in the Academy.
The only thing they leave with is whatever artifacts and techniques they bought as well as a Graduation Ceremony that promised every student to come out of the Academy as a B-Rank.
Leaving the Academy took every chance left of an individual to even reach the peak of B-Rank, but most took a dozen years at least to cross that A-Rank Barrier if they were within the Top 100 to 500 when they were still students.
For one to Rank Up To A-Rank the first year after Graduating is something only The Emperor's Children were capable of, and for someone else to do it makes him easily eligible to be called a Prodigy.
A Talent of a Millenium, or of an Entire Clan.
Having achieved such a Feat, Kent instantly became famous in the entire Empire.
Many Clans tried to bring him in or have a connection with him through marriage, and even Forces tried to lure him in with Crazy offers but he had other plans.
He was in love with a Princess, not a child of the Emperor, but of another Clan that was very much up there when it came to Clan Positions.
It was the daughter of the Anomaly's Best Friend.
And she loved him back!
Everything was going well for him in life, and all he had to do was prove again and again that he was capable of Doing what he did not once not twice but every time.
He was trying to prove his worth to the world and to the father of his Beloved.
Reaching A-Rank in the first year was by far his biggest Achievement and it was more than enough to gain the approval of the Father, as 19-year-old A-Ranks weren't just rare they were an impossibility to find before the Anomaly and his children introduced it.
Kent also had his dreams and ambitions.
After Marrying his Dream Girl, he shall join the Army and strive to become like Commander David, a renowned figure whose name reverberates throughout the entire Empire.
There was no young man or young girl who did not hold Commander David in high regard and wanted to become like him.
Standing with a man from his birth to his reign over an entire continent and being one of the main reasons he conquered Kingdom After Kingdom, Faction after Faction, Noble after Noble, and still remaining humble and modest
Joining the ranks of the ANomaly, he would rise through the ranks like a rocket, and finally stand side by side with the Emperor, his family, and his Commander while being a fellow EX-Rank.
Out of the many children of his generation in his Clan, he was the only one who was an A-Rank. Out of the many children of his generation in his Clan, he was the chosen one to become the Clan Head.
No one could take this position away from him, and he was proud of it.
Kent grew prideful and full of ego, his Parents were loving, respectful, and powerful.
They were geniuses on their own and held high prestige in the Clan and even the Empire.
One is the Owner of an entire company that focuses on food and makeup.
The other is an SSS-Rank Commander of the Army.
In the eyes of the Common Populace, people like Kent who graduated from the Celestial Academy were in their own heaven above their world.
they didn't even think of comparing them to themselves or those close to them as something like B-Rank Was a transcendental level for them.
Beings of that Rank were millions of times stronger than them, not only in terms of stats but also techniques, knowledge, power, skills, everything.
Even if the Common Populace is mostly constituted of E to D-Ranks.
They only heard of the feats of such people and looked up to them while idolizing them, but they could never imagine themselves in those positions. That is until they or their children manage to join the Celestial Academy, and if they Graduate, their lives and the lives of generations of their families after that are set then and there.
All that remains is for them to take on a good job or some kind of Position that gives them prestige, earn achievements, form a Clan, and boom, life is set for Eternity or as long as the Empire lives, which in their mind is Eternity.
So For People who think so highly of a weakling B-Rank, an EX-Rank is someone so out of their world they don't even dare think of.
For Example, a Noble Clan Child will look up to Commander David who is an EX-Rank, however, a Commoner Child would look up to that Noble Clan Child. As simple as that.
Their world was in no way similar to Draco's previous world where people could know every single detail about their ruler or President who sometimes didn't even deserve that position and just got it because of some Bullshit voting system.
This World? if you're not capable of taking on that position you better step down before you find yourself with 36 Holes when night comes.
If you didn't deserve it and fought tooth and nail for it to gain it And preserve it, it won't last, and you won't last with it either.
Life here was so hard that Death News was more common than Birth News. Not because the Empire wasn't safe, no on the contrary it's very safe as stated before.
However, the actions needed to have some worth in this world are dangerous, full of peril, and sometimes not worth it.
Having to kill monsters, explore Ruins, Conquer Dungeons, and Fulfill Unknown Conditions. The many Complex and weird stuff one had to do to Evolve were known to no one.
And there were cases where you had to do a certain action in a finite time, and if you did not meet the Deadline you will never ever be able to Evolve again, no Exceptions. Imagine having one of these Conditions and not knowing it until you one day realize you can never evolve and your path to power forever stops here.
This was a Nightmare for every single being. No one wanted to even think of it happening and once someone set his eyes on Evolving they would do the impossible so as to Fulfill those Conditions as soon as possible.
Now Evolution Conditions worked in a way where you could guess them as a kind gentleman following the path of a Healer would never have a Condition to kill anything, but instead it would be to heal, watch the healing of, or instruct the healing of a living being.
An Assassin however could have Conditions such as killing a certain number of beings, killing a being in a certain way, or planning the killing of some being in a specific.
You never know.
Girls also have conditions such as birth the child of a Noble Clan Heir, an Emperor, a Demon, or anything similar. That is not to say that guys do not have conditions such as Marrying a certain girl.
Kent for example even though he didn't know it, had a condition to marry the girl of his Dreams to reach S-Rank, as well as the creation of 10 S-Rank Skills as he had a Job that would evolve into a Sage.
Having already Created 3 New S-Rank skills, he was almost halfway through reaching S-Rank.
As he only had to create 7 more skills, Marry the princess who was already engaged to him by now, and reach Max Level in 3 years.
At the rate he is going, he might reach S-Rank faster than he reached A-Rank making him a prodigy not just achieving something only the children of the Anomaly could, but on par with them.
This was Kent Clawn, an A-Rank Super Genius of the Human Race. How was he compared to Draco who reached EX-Rank in less than a month and could kill the being every single Prodigy and Clan Member looked up to around 9 days since he was a lowly F-Rank Imp, The Lowest of the low? And would Kent continue on to become a great figure of the Human Race? Or will something... Unexpected happen to him?
