He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

City Lord Zhao Qinghong had just ended a phone call that had terrified him.

His hand holding the communicator was still trembling, and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead.

"Yes, yes! I understand! I will do as you say! I will ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

He repeatedly assured the person on the other end of the communicator, his tone extremely respectful.

After ending the call, Zhao Qinghong let out a long sigh of relief, slumped into the city lord's chair, vigorously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and muttered:

"Phew... I almost lost my job..."

Thankfully, thankfully the higher-ups only held me accountable and didn't dismiss me outright..."

Recalling the conversation, Zhao Qinghong's face turned angry again.

He slammed his hand on the table, gritting his teeth and growling:

"Hmph! Fatty Wang! Your time as principal is truly over!"

Such a serious oversight! Utterly incompetent!

The "Fatty Wang" he mentioned is none other than the balding principal of Tianling Vocational College, who weighs over 250 pounds.

The superior's report mentioned that during the academy's awakening ceremony this year,

A student was recruited into the "Seed Project".

Meanwhile, the academy, from the person in charge of awakening to the principal, was completely unaware of the situation.

They even hastily registered the student as a failure.

We almost missed this priceless treasure that could have influenced the fate of our nation!

In Zhao Qinghong's view, this was not only dereliction of duty, but downright malfeasance!

Even a "seeded" player will achieve far more in the future than the lord of this small town.

Its value and significance are immeasurable.

Such a person appeared in the city under my jurisdiction.

He himself was completely unaware of it, relying entirely on instructions from his superiors.

This made him feel extremely scared.

"A thorough investigation and complete rectification are imperative!"

Zhao Qinghong made up her mind.

He immediately mobilized the city lord's direct forces and contacted the relevant disciplinary departments.

This day was nothing short of "doomsday" for Tianling Vocational College.

A group of men in black, exuding a cold aura and dressed in identical black uniforms, entered the academy directly.

No one dared to stop them.

They immediately launched a full review.

From management to faculty and staff, no one will be overlooked.

The review standards are stringent, covering multiple aspects such as teaching management, awakening process records, resource allocation, and personnel relations.

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

The investigation results angered Zhao Qinghong and all those involved:

Within the college, from administrative management to teaching positions, more than half of the staff have problems!

The questions are varied and numerous.

Neglect of duty, falsification of records, illicit dealings, misappropriation of resources, and even some individuals having unclear connections with certain unscrupulous forces...

The problems are particularly prominent among those in charge and record-keeping positions related to the awakening ceremony.

All personnel found to have problems

Regardless of their position, they were all detained on the spot without any chance to defend themselves.

They were taken away in matching black vehicles, their destination clear—the front lines, the most dangerous area in the fight against the demons.

That will be a place for them to "train" and "reflect".

Whether they can come back alive depends entirely on their own abilities and luck.

Tianling Vocational College underwent a thorough purge, creating an atmosphere of fear and unease among its students.

The efficiency of the Dragon Kingdom's administrative departments is extremely high, especially when it comes to matters related to the highest-level "Seed Project".

Those from Tianling Vocational College who were investigated and punished for dereliction of duty and falsification of records were sent to the front line for "training."

Within an hour, the new management team and faculty were in place and took over all affairs of the college.

The new principal was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties.

He was dressed in a faded blue scholar's robe, his hair neatly combed.

Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with a gentle face and refined demeanor, he exuded a scholarly air in every gesture.

However, a hint of cold sharpness flashed deep in his eyes.

Was he really just a teacher?

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Tianfeng City

A secret military camp belonging to the military headquarters.

"Drink! Ha!"

On the training field, a woman is diligently practicing her skills.

She was wearing a specially designed gravity device, and her black, tight-fitting training suit was soaked with sweat.

Clinging tightly to the contours of the body, it outlines powerful lines.

Her punches were as fast as lightning, her kicks as swift as the wind, each strike accompanied by a whistling sound.

Sharp and ruthless, without the slightest frills.

These are practical combat techniques honed through life-and-death battles on the battlefield.

Sweat beads flew with her movements, glistening in the sunlight.

Her face was stern, her eyes focused, as if she never tired.

They had been training at a high intensity for a whole day.

"Click-clack, click-clack..."

At the edge of the training field, a black and white iron-eating beast, about the size of a small elephant, with an endearing yet subtly fierce aura, lay on the ground.

A "legal loli" who is about 1.6 meters tall, wears an adorable tutu, has long, flowing silver hair, and a face as delicate as a doll.

They were sitting leisurely on the broad, soft back of the iron-eating beast.

The little girl was clutching a big bag of potato chips, eating them with great relish.

It makes a crisp "click-click" sound.

She swung her fair legs as she watched the women practice martial arts in the arena.

He mumbled something to another woman next to him:

"Hehe... Sister Chu, why is Sister Hong working so hard?"

You've been practicing for a whole day and night, aren't you going to take a break?

Didn't she already master her 'Berserk Battle Spirit' skill a long time ago?

Beside him, a man dressed in a light blue mage robe,

The woman, leaning against a staff inlaid with azure crystal, yawned.

She stretched lazily, revealing her beautiful curves.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her voice hoarse from just waking up:

"Ha~ How would I know? I'm not one of those muscle-bound melee maniacs like her."

I guess... they're honing their skills and proficiency.

Or perhaps it's simply a way to release excess energy?

She is Chu Yu, the water mage in the team.

The silver-haired loli's name is Qian Mengmeng; she is the team's summoner and support.

The iron-eating beast "Little Iron" beneath her is one of her contracted partners.

Sudden--

"Black Rose Squad, assemble!"

A short, sharp shout rang out over the camp's loudspeaker.

This instantly shattered the atmosphere of the training ground.

Qian Mengmeng jumped in surprise, almost dropping the potato chips in her hand.

"Xiao Tie, run! The instructor is calling us!"

She quickly patted the iron-eating beast's fluffy head.

The iron-eating beast "Little Iron" let out a low growl; despite its enormous size,

Their movements were unusually agile, utilizing the strength of all four limbs.

Like a black and white whirlwind, they rushed towards the assembly point.

Qian Mengmeng clung tightly to its fur to steady herself.

Upon hearing the sound, Shangguan Hong, a woman in the training field, immediately stopped her stance.

The gravity device hissed as it released pressure. She wiped the sweat from her face.

In a flash, he also rushed in the same direction at an extremely fast speed.

Chu Yu also abandoned her languid demeanor; her robes fluttered lightly, and a faint mist rose from her feet.

They carried her lightly and swiftly towards the meeting point.
