New Game+ - Chapter 433: Student Developmental Program

A full month had passed since the great battle in Egypt. Since then, many wars and skirmishes that aimed to dominate the sea routes have occurred. Many nations secured key trading routes and won the alliance among the Underwater cities and the surfaced megastructures that emerged.

There were underwater, underground, and space cities launched, creating a sudden emergence of people.

The sudden appearances of many people hidden deep underwater and up in space created the Era of Nomadic Cities.

Cities boasting massive power had established themselves, and many could contend against the known nations of the Earth.

And while the world was in turmoil, a massive proposal led by the WGP caused many nations to sigh in relief.

The enactment of the Civilian War Safety Code was followed strictly, and no nation, be it among the original list or the new Nomadic cities, would attack directly and harm civilian cities until the nearest front lines would be destroyed. But even if a fortress were destroyed, the WGP would strictly enforce that no forces would invade the next city for twenty-four hours to allow civilians to either retreat or submit to be captured by the invading forces.

And since no nations would heavily invest in invading or attacking another nation, no front-line fortress has yet to fall from the major nations that managed to stabilize their footing.

The nations like New Great Britain, the Americas, One China, all maintained their super-power status.

But among the nations that suddenly grew powerful was the new nation consisting of previous enemies. Australia, South Pacific United, and Pangea agreed to enter into an alliance. They were known as the South Pacific Confederate.

The Confederate became a promising ally with a Many Mansions placed among them. Their military might was also something that drew the attention of the world.

The nominal leader of this new alliance was surprisingly the most feared enemy of the SPU and Australia.

He is the majestic, glorious, unparalleled, undisputed, illustrious, eye-popping, eyebrow-raising, breath-taking, heart-stopping, spine-chilling, a most amazing leader and founder of the South Pacific Confederate, Harker Cipril, the Light of the New World.

Although his location was kept hidden, his orders and actions had always led in becoming the right actions. And under his command, One China, New Great Britain, the EAA were in good trading relations with this country.

The land of the South Pacific Confederate, or the SPC, was called another term as it managed to secure peace in its lands and no country dared challenge it.

It was called a City of Refuge.

A meeting of scientists and the brightest minds of the South Pacific Confederate was secretly held under the guise of attending a certain wedding in Central Phil-Pangea.

The wedding continued on and was already having the traditional Phil-Pangean wedding rituals. But this group sat at the side and discussed the plans for the three nations of the South Pacific Confederate.

“I’m not really comfortable in talking about these plans here in a public place.” One of the scientists sighed. The actual words that he spoke were a very ancient language. It was a language that was created and based on Tamil, one of the oldest languages in the world.

“Relax. We are speaking in infrasonic sound that only Inhumans can hear. We are also talking at speed, using a language that cannot be understood. Not to mention, the host we selected for this has a Skill that can somehow gain attention. It’s very difficult for the untrained ears to listen to our words.” One of the women answered. She was one of the three top scientists that served directly under Charles.

“Doctor Sonia is right.” A man smiled. He was the strongest Unlocked sitting among them and had so much strength that he could punch an Armor and toss it back. But his frame was rather thin. Nevertheless, he was the doctor that discovered how to incorporate the science of Dawn soldiers, Ceasar’s Might Science, and the werewolf drug that gave heightened strength.

“Doctor Eric. I must congratulate you on your progress in that Drug. Australia is great pleased as their Dawn soldiers are now several times stronger than before.” One of Australia’s top scientists praised.

“It’s nothing much. I was an Australian scientist working for Harker and was among Seeker’s early allies. Me, Sonia, and Saunia have to make amazing contributions to this war.” Eric Douglas laughed.

“Oh, and you are praising me, but your eyes are all over Doctor Saunia. I heard she is dating none other than Cronus of Git Godlike. Careful where your eyes point, doctor.” Eric laughed.

Most of the scientists suddenly averted their eyes from Saunia in fear.

“Ah… How lucky of Saunia. Hmph! If my Path wasn’t in conflict with how you copied Meryl’s light, I would date someone among them. It’s amazing how fast Cronus gained fame among the Unlocked and officially made it to the ‘Ranked’ Heroes list. Although I think that Cronus is a minor.” Sonia sighed.

“Oh, please, sister. General Alean is dating Lynd. Most ladies who have been Unlocked would willingly fight a Presider to be Lynd’s lover. Is age still relevant to the Unlocked? To Cultivators and Immortals like Lynd and his team, what is age but a vague concept? Power. Now that’s important.” Saunia laughed.

“Can we move on to our discussion? I still have much to do. There has been progress in maintaining Ricardo’s health, and I need to create several cures for thirty more sicknesses that Doctor Charles released in various parts of the globe.” Eric sighed.

“Alright. And here I thought my beauty and imitation of Meryl’s path would affect you, Eric.”

“It won’t. Don’t you know? I serve the Tyrant Empress. No other beauty seems to compare to hers. So it’s not that I am not interested in you. It’s more precise that I can’t take an interest in you. Still, I need to increase my Unlocking. Staying sane is a full-time job for us, after all. If we don’t grow or if the Tyrant Empress’s powers surpass a certain threshold, we will all become debase humans, and I would fly to the Desert Empires to stare at the Tyrant Empress and die.”

“That sounds horrifying.” One of the Scientists was shocked.

“It is. But our lust gives us purpose and courage. And happiness. Anyways, I want a full report on Path and Skill development progress through the Student Development Programs that your respective schools and countries do. How are our students doing? Let’s start with Seeker’s Alma Matter.”

“The pool of the most talented people that have been brought into the Inhuman programs grow steady. As a result, the death rates of our drugs have decreased, and more minds are able to endure and survive the Inhuman drugs without growing insane. But the safest way to become an Inhuman is still through the Battle Arena. Since its conception, we’ve had thirty-four student deaths in the Arena, and nineteen have shown potential to become an Inhuman.”

“How did you cover up the student deaths?” Eric frowned.

“Terrorist attacks. People profiled to be haters of Harker would be kidnapped and would be framed for bombing the school killing these students.”

“…”

Mouths were wide open at the casual mention of these reports. Each nation and secret Unlocked Training grounds were going through their own programs, but the school of Seeker employed a brutal and inhumane method.

“Nineteen Inhumans? That’s good progress compared to the two Inhumans last month. Continue with that plan. I’ll increase the funding to your school and allow you access and free use to Exoskeletons for battle.”

“Continue?! Doctor Eric! Did you not hear what they are doing?”

“I did. I suggested some parts of it myself. This was the best Student Developmental Program to make Unlocked.”
