Principal Graves was watching everything through the surveillance cameras. The Institute had them installed all over the island to monitor the student.

"Why is she so strong all of a sudden?" Hugh Graves scratched his head. "It feels like she has reached Hazard Rank."

Sae Seto sat nearby and was drinking her tea. "Maybe she did. That girl has given me a lot of surprise."

"She might be the only one that can reach Rank-4. After the God Soldier." Graves said.

"God Soldier is Rank-4? I thought he was only a Ranl-2?"

"The original God Suspension allowed him to reach Rank-2 instantly. He became Rank-3 on the battlefield. He would have been the first ever Rank-4 if it wasn’t for the attack."

On the island, Selina had gathered control of one-third of the entire area. This territory largely consisted of the freshman classes.

The other two belonged to the junior and senior classes.

"Welp. I think we have passed this mid-term examination with flying colors." Quill said. He was still in disbelief as how quickly they united the freshman. That should guarantee their victory.

"Pass? I don’t just want a pass. I want dominance. We will attack the junior tomorrow."

"You?!" Quill widened his eyes. But in the end, he followed Selina’s way. After all, they had been successful following her.

"She’s even more powerful now." Becky sweated silently. She couldn’t understand how Selina could advance in such a fast pace. If she knew Selina spent 34 years in another world, she would think differently.

Amidst the chaos of the examination, a hidden force climbed out from underground and infiltrated the junior and senior class.

It also found its way toward Selina’s territory. Aurora noticed it immediately. The power of blizzard hell exuded from her and chased the force away.

’Master. There is another being on this island. It is quite strong.’ Aurora reported to the black cat immediately.

’Rank-3?’

’Possibly.’

’Oh, well. I knew that this examination was suspicious. We continue the examination as usual. Pretend like you didn’t see anything.’

’Roger that, Master.’

With the hidden force penetrated into the students of the other territory, their powers were enhanced.

Matet flew to the sky of the island and looked down. He noticed the trees and rocks of this island formed an Ankh symbol.

’A wide scale ritual? It’s not demonic. It’s more like a Holy Symbol. The Ankh... Is it the symbol of a Pantheon of Gods?’

The night passed by unknowingly. The passive junior and senior class suddenly turned feral. They grouped together and planned an attack on the freshmen’s territory.

In the middle of the night, the senior and junior surrounded Selina’s territory. The group was led by Barbara Dalton, the so called strongest Rank-2 of the Institute, not including the President Sae Seto.

She raised her hand in silent, signaling for the ambushers to stop.

They got in their position and charged their power. They were all waiting for Barbara’s signal.

Then she pointed her finger forward.

The ambushers rushed at the fortress. Suddenly, they were electrocuted by an invisible barrier.

"What?!" Barbara blurted out.

A barrier of electricity was set up all around the parameter of Selina’s fortress. Hidden mechanical bolts were inserted on the ground, acting as conductors for the barrier.

As soon as the barrier was triggered, Psychics emerged from the bushes. They surrounded the junior and senior students.

"The Queen said that you guys would try attacking us at night. We were doubting her a little bit. But you walk right into our trap." A Psychic said.

Anothertook out the Blade Core and flicked it. NES wrapped around the Core and formed a deadly Psycho Blade.

"We will never doubt the Queen again."

Loretta was among the defenders. She couldn’t help but notice the belief that the other Psychics had for Selina. It wasn’t just the hidden members of the Illuminati. But the ordinary students as well.

It was as if Selina had a royalty aura around her that made people want to follow her footsteps.

As a seer, Loretta noticed this even more.

’I need to hug this big thigh as best I can!’

She was referring to Selina. At first, she wanted to follow Selina for a better future. But Selina and hee group showed Loretta something even more. A court of the modern world. The return of monarchy. She, too, felt like she wanted to die for a cause.

But she could feel the existence of this feeling. It terrified and exicted her at the same time.

The defenders rushed at the ambushers and the battle begun. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Selina in her black dress hovered above the air, watching everything. As a Rank-2, she could use Mater’s Rank-2 spells. That included Omnimotion, which allowed her to fly.

The cat was sitting on her shoulder. His tail wagged gently.

"That thing inside them... It is similar to Fate that the Fae used but different." Selina whispered.

"That, my dear, is Divinity. Power of the gods. Fate of the Divine. It seems like the Institute, maybe even the entire Union, is being backed by a Pantheon." The black cat stroked his whiskers.

Selina had ordered the students on her side to fight without mercy. This meant that they must strike to kill. Some agreed with her. Some disagreed with her. But they all followed her once they saw how bloodlust the other classes were.

The junior and senios fought to kill. Their queen was right again. So Selina’s Psychics responded in kind.

Principal Graves watched everything on the monitor and frowned.

"What is happening? Why are they fighting like enemies? This is an examination for God’s sake! We need to stop this!"

As Hugh Graves turned around, Sae grabbed his throat. An ankh appeared on her chest. A similar symbol to Selina’s GAIM.

Geometric Amplifier Interface Matrix. An expensive and dangerous ward of protection that rarely anyone could afford to have. Selina had one. And Sae also had one.

"What are you doing, Sae?" Graves blasted his Chaos outside and pushed Sae back. He overwhelmed her with his Rank-3 power.

But Sae grew more powerful. Her GAIM was a color of pure glowing gold, in contrast with Selina’s black Ankh.

Sae smiled wickedly, "The sacrifice must be made to the Gods."
