“What?” when Garen did not hear the other person’s reply, he prompted her to continue.
“It’s just slightly unexpected. I did not anticipate that you would be able to speak to us in such a rational and calm manner,” replied the woman once she had returned to normal. “If you think that the price is too low, then what is your desired amount? Could you let me know?”
“My strength levels are enough to impact the top three competitors. Don’t you think this price is a little low?” Garen asked instead.
“What you say is true, and your current levels prove that you undoubtedly possess extremely good character. You say that you can attack the top three, Bally, Merseus, and Caus, but the three of them are not average people that can be shaken easily,” said the woman lightly.
“I can prove it to you in the next competition,” answered Garen in a straightforward manner.
“Oh? How are you going to prove that?” the voice on the other line changed suddenly. It was now a crisp female voice that sounded somewhat cold but also strong at the same time. It was obvious that the speaker on the other side had switched temporarily.
“How about the three Level 2 combat techniques?” replied Garen in a brisk and casual tone.
“…!!!” there was no sound on the other side suddenly as they were clearly subdued.
Indeed, even Bally and Merseus were only confirmed to have Level 2 strength through the results of the comprehensive assessment. Out of all the topics of the actual combat assessment topics, there were only ten that could truly provide a comprehensive assessment of an individual’s strength levels. Among these topics, Garen was able to achieve the Level 2 standard for three of them at once. Coupled with the Laser Cannon integrated techniques that he had displayed earlier, he was able to grasp four Level 2 techniques in total. This meant that he was almost halfway there. Everything was just as Garen had said. He had the strength to surpass the top three and was highly hopeful that he could overtake Caus’ position at least.
“Are you certain that you’re not mistaken?” after keeping quiet for a while, the other person finally spoke again.
“Of course,” answered Garen calmly. He was undeniably and incomparably powerful in terms of combat. Although his Willpower was slightly weaker which forced him to use his basic combat techniques to display his strength, his Master-level combat experience could not be compared to the current strengths of the weaker fellows. If it was not for the Moonfang’s time limit, he could definitely snatch the third place position and get rid of Caus. However, the same could not be said for the first and second places as the Level 2 combat techniques of this world seemed to be linked to Willpower. This produced strange qualitative changes that Garen had never seen before. He could not be sure of the integrated powers that the other two would use.
After all, his extremely weak Willpower was also a terrible shortcoming. If he was hindered for a certain duration or if changes that exceeded his expectations appeared suddenly, it would be impossible to easily ensure his victory.
“…We will need to consider and discuss this. Please wait a moment.”
The female voice on the other line became more polite suddenly. It was obvious that Garen’s strength had exceeded their expectations greatly. Furthermore, it was just as Garen had stated. Their attempt to exchange something for the victory of a professional would be easily detected by the academy. Moreover, a normal member of the crowd would be able to see through a trick like that as well, and they would end up shooting themselves in the foot if they were not careful.
Garen was not anxious at all. Instead, he merely pulled out his tablet computer quietly and begin to click his fingers against it gently. He had learned programming skills in the Vampire world on his own and was able to adapt to the computing input programs here quickly once he had arrived in this advanced and computerized world. The computers here were unlike the backward machines that he had used before. Meanwhile, the likes of quantum computers existed here. The concept of quantum computers stated that most computers that utilized binary systems used 0 and 1 as their basic units. When computing, countless 0’s and 1’s would circulate through the computer as its data.
Meanwhile, quantum computers could be visualized as numerous computers that were operating inside binary system computers. When they encountered certain combinations of nested problems that were difficult to untangle, these computers would be able to solve them at the quickest speed.
Quantum computers were computing models that used sets as units while the older computers used elements as units. Therefore, their computing abilities had been improved greatly. They could gather various methods to solve problems. This was also the main reason for the great developments throughout the Mech Battleships.Professional divisions of various types of quantum computers were able to utilize certain complicated, optimized organizational structures of Mechs several times as sets to perform unit calculation analysis. The Mechs that were assembled through this process could perform beyond people’s expectations and achieve extremely good progress.
There were similarities between quantum computers and traditional computers because of their origins. Therefore, Garen was able to adapt to the programming models here quickly once he had come into contact with the computers in this world.
The tablet computer that he was using now was a typical miniature quantum computer. Although it was not highly advanced and could not operate larger units, it could still react quickly towards web environments regardless of their complexity and analyze them.
Seconds and minutes ticked by. Garen tapped against the virtual keyboard that was projected by the tablet computer continuously while the rotating image of a soundwave on the screen gradually became clearer. He had already achieved the first step of determining the current position of the other person’s phone call.
“Your requests are very reasonable if you can truly display this strength tomorrow,” the person on the other line finally spoke again.
Within this short duration of fewer than ten minutes, Garen had managed to discover a series of information regarding Blue Narcissus in the academy.
The Blue Narcissus organization was an internal organization of a larger scale within Blackboard Academy. As one of the three main student organizations in Blackboard, Blue Narcissus was comprised of influential officials that represented the strength of their disciples. Although their individual members did not necessarily possess great strength, their network of background relations was still the strongest out of the three main organizations. In simpler terms, they were a group that specialized in recruiting strong forces that comprised of the supposed princes and princesses in the academy.
Unlike Black Rose that revered actual combat and strength, or the moderate Thousand Year Tree, the main idea of Blue Narcissus revolved around the notion that relations, background, and individual power were all a form of strength. However, they were more welcoming towards influential disciples as many generations of their leaders were all first-rate powerful proteges.
“Among the three main organizations, many people actually have misunderstandings towards Blue Narcissus,” explained the woman on the other line quietly. “We are not inclined towards influential individuals. On the contrary, we merely recruit geniuses who can break free of the whirlpool of power around them on their own. This matter is strictly in accordance with the academy’s purpose.”
“I understand. What do you plan to do then? Regarding my problem I mean.”
“Your conditions are something that we agree with fully,” the woman answered certainly. “I am representing Blue Narcissus to agree with your requests as elites should only be given elite treatment.”
She pondered for a moment. It was possible that she was exchanging opinions with the others.
“Regarding our cooperation with you, we now have a new method to do that. However, we don’t know if you will be willing to accept it.”
Garen pressed the enter key on the keyboard of the computer single-handedly before looking at the bunch of blue narcissus flowers once again.
“What methods? Tell me.”
“Regarding the new methods, if you really possess the power to impact the top three, you only need to join Blue Narcissus so that we can support your claim to overtake the top three to snatch a spot for an elite personal fight. As long as you can become an elite member, I will be able to give you the best treatment for your family and your personal development. I’ve heard that… Your previous surgery fees were paid for in advance by your instructor. I’m sure that you want to repay Instructor Hamm for the expenses as soon as possible, right?” it seemed as though the woman on the other line was very knowledgeable about Nonosiva’s information.
“What kind of treatment?” Garen had always been concerned about the practical benefits only. The changes in the other person’s attitude were things that he’d anticipated as well. It was one of the main situational variables and did not greatly faze him at all.
“Your parents’ occupations will not change but their gloomy salaries will be increased to five hundred thousand Units a year. In the academy, you will receive a certain amount of background strength and support that is given to all Blue Narcissus members. Of course, your opponent in Grade C, Arello, is included as well, and you will not have to worry about him using his family circumstances and background to suppress you. Meanwhile, I believe that you will be able to deal with the direct confrontations as you managed to teach Caus and his friends a painful lesson previously, right?” it seemed as though the woman was clearly more relaxed now.
“Is the background strength guaranteed?” the information that Garen had investigated stated that this was the main method that Blue Narcissus used to entice students with good potential. Students with good potential that came from financially unstable families were easily oppressed by others who were influential disciples. Under these circumstances, those of them who had yet to mature were unusually weak and would squander away their talents if they were not careful. Therefore, Blue Narcissus’ actions provided a beneficial platform for them to exhibit their strong backgrounds fully while mediating and assuring the development of these students with good potentials. Finally, once these potential students had matured and become the new generation of influential individuals, most of them would not forget the ones that provided help during a key point of their lives.
Blackboard Academy had been established for hundreds of years and these three main student organizations had stood firm through time. They naturally had their own commendable points and could not simply be known as arrogant organizations.
However, the ones that could truly receive the exceptional treatment from Blue Narcissus were naturally only the authentic first-rate geniuses that had good futures ahead of them. They were lucky if they could even find five of these individuals within a grade. Instead, they only recruited more influential disciples in each year, naturally paling themselves in comparison to the other organizations.
Garen pondered carefully for a moment. The main shortcoming that was faced by his current self, or rather Nonosiva, was that his family background and circumstances would cause him to be easily oppressed by powerful and influential disciples. This would also hinder his personal development. The support that Blue Narcissus was willing to provide was something that he truly needed.
“Increasing the strength of Blue Narcissus’ elite scholars is a point that we pay close attention to. An individual who can enter the elites despite being a new student will always receive additional resources and favor as such a new student usually possesses great potential,” explained the woman sincerely. “Have are your considerations going? Joining Blue Narcissus will be your best decision.”
Garen became quiet for a while. “From what I know, aren’t there two other main organizations? Black Rose and Thousand Year Tree…”
“Unfortunately, your opponent Caus is a member of Thousand Year Tree while his older brother, the assessed student named Cor, is an elite Grade B member of Black Rose. They have a network of special relations within the Mech actual combat department and since you did not display any shocking aptitude or talents, it was only natural that they did not invite you,” the woman did not hold back and chose to speak the truth directly instead.
“…Okay. I agree to join Blue Narcissus,” replied Garen right away after considering for a while. In his opinion, joining an organization was merely a temporary decision to borrow power. As long as this organization gave him a favorable impression, he did not mind repaying them once he had matured. Moreover, the key factor was the other party’s sincerity. The things that they had mentioned were the same as what he had discovered through his hacking skills. Therefore, this meant the other side truly wanted to recruit and invest in him.
“The aim of Blue Narcissus is to turn each of our members into our pride and joy while becoming the dignity of our members as well,” replied the woman earnestly. “You will not regret joining us.”
Garen smiled before hanging up the phone.
