"Report?" Athena asked as she chewed on a toothpick, playing with the steel stick in her hands. She was seated with her legs on the desk, wearing a bored expression as if someone had taken away her favorite candy. Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire
A woman dressed in military uniform saluted as she looked at the three beautiful women sitting in the room. She took out a crystal from her pocket, pressing it firmly, thus projecting a screen on which was written the title: "Results of the Cult Extermination." The woman adjusted her posture.
"The third event, organized by Professor Crystal, under the command of Professor Athena and the head of the Hunter's Faculty, Kalista, with the three first-year classes participating in this event along with the faculty recruits, came to an end today, the 16th of the seventh month," she began.
"The total number of surviving students from the three classes was 20, and the surviving recruits were 57. According to our report compiled by the administrators, the majority of the students were massacred at the hands of lower-ranking cultists. On the other hand, only a minority were massacred at the hands of cult leaders, all under the orders of some students who managed to form groups."
"Only the following cult leaders appeared in the event: Andre belonging to the cult that worships Nigrothor the Ancient, leader of the cult that worships Ranus the Ancient, leader of the cult that worships Crimson the Ancient, leader of the cult that worships Implacable Buzzing the Ancient, and lastly, the cult leader who worships The Infester the Ancient.
There were no sightings of leaders from other cults, but there are records of some students dying at their hands."
"All the aforementioned cults were either completely exterminated or almost entirely by the students, especially the cult leaders who were killed by the top students. Of course, they were not alone; some of the best recruits from the Hunter's Faculty were of great help. All records are archived so that any of you three can see them in more detail.
But for a brief summary: Andre, cult leader, was massacred by Alicia, Daniela, Lirio, Matías, and Nicholas; the cult leader who worships Crimson the Ancient was killed by Eleanor, Leopold, and Edward, with Charlotte also appearing and aiding in the final moments; the cult leader who worships The Infester the Ancient was killed by Anthony and Angela, only the two of them managed with a cult leader; the cult leader who worships Ranus the Ancient was killed by Edward and Emily; the cult leader who worships Implacable Buzzing the Ancient has data indicating he was killed by multiple students together under the leadership of a student known as Persephone.
This case is particularly remarkable as none of the best students present in the battle were found involved."
"The girl known as Persephone was of great help with her special magic, so to speak," the woman's expression was strange as she mentioned this girl in general. On the other hand, Athena's eyes gleamed intensely; she knew who Persephone was after all, being one of the chosen ones. "At what class level did the girl ascend?" she asked curiously.
The woman reviewed some documents in her hands and adjusted her glasses. "The administrators gave her a very high rating during the event. Not only did she manage to kill a cult leader, but she also somehow managed to lead a group of students. In addition to having forbidden magic, she has a good head on her shoulders, although she's a bit antisocial and sinister. She's a force to be reckoned with.
With all this said, the administrators placed her in the Pegasus class along with the girl known as Estefany."
"On the other hand, the girl known as Estefany also produced results that surprised the administrators a lot. Her summoning magic was not considered before because the summoning of the bear was not as strong, but in this event, the bear was not only much larger and more powerful, but it also had an affinity with lightning, although this could only be seen in the last moments of the fight.
It was incredible. According to Estefany's own words, she can summon another animal, but she needs more strength and mana for that. She says she's close to reaching the Mid-Gold rank."
"As for the Hunter's Faculty, there is a blond-haired boy known as Ariel. His skill in battle was incredible, although he lacks a bit of willpower, he never gave up in the end. Lirio, with his ability to manipulate mana, was also of great help in battle. His ability did not go unnoticed by the administrators. The girl known as Lisa was also outstanding along with Rose.
These two, in particular, were in Persephone's group, and without their help in the game, it would have been difficult to finish off the cult leader. Their help was invaluable."
"And finally, the skill and leadership of the best of this generation were by no means small. After all, they were the ones with the most presence in this event, leading the other students, and under their orders, the casualties were fewer, considering that they were the protagonists of killing most of the cult leaders who made an appearance.
Each of them is one of the greatest prodigies that the empire has to offer in this generation," the woman finished the report and made a military dismissal as she left the room.
"Great!" Athena exclaimed excitedly as she clenched her fists tightly. She was very excited about the students of this generation, who surpassed the previous one. "Two of the chosen ones have moved up to the Pegasus class, not bad!" she said, nodding with pride as if she herself had accomplished such a feat.
"I wonder what their true names are..." Crystal also wondered to herself, getting lost in her thoughts.
"Tsk," a tongue click came from Kalista. She was the only one in the room who didn't have a true name yet, which she found somewhat annoying or unfair that some children got it so easily. She had worked hard over all these years and still nothing. Athena smirked teasingly at her friend but didn't say anything about it; she had to agree it was quite unfair.
She shrugged and looked at the two women, but especially at Kalista. "I need the five boys for the next mission," she said with a smile, referring to Matías, Lirio, Lisa, Rose, and Ariel.
Kalista looked at her over her shoulder. "Do you want to steal my students?" she asked, raising an eyebrow suspiciously. Athena chuckled under her breath and shook her head. "I want to take them to the Enchanted Forest," she hesitated for a moment, "I'll also take Persephone and Estefany," her smile was mischievous.
