Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

Conventional spiritual energy talents are rare, and each one's growth is incredibly arduous, with even fewer reaching the second phase without succumbing to an early death.

Wild-born spiritual energy wielders receive high attention from the city and are assigned to different institutions for study and service. They have little social interaction with one another, making it difficult to unite substantial forces from a personal perspective.

But there is a group of people... they share a common origin—the displaced.

That's right, those displaced who arrived in the city with Gilder.

Hundreds of spiritual energy talents—if they all could reach the second phase, then there would be a foundational possibility for the plan to be executed.

Moreover, in fact, the spiritual energy level of each talent naturally grows over time, as long as they do not die young or decay. To rise to the second or even third phase is simply a matter of course.

The true predicament for spiritual energy wielders has never been the level of spiritual energy itself but how to avoid being eroded by high-dimensional forces.

Those people fled from the origin of demons—fear itself, inherently possessing a higher resistance to high-dimensional force corrosion, hence they have a much greater chance of advancing to become second or even third phase spiritual energy wielders than average talents.

So, if their powers could be integrated...

The plan to strike back at high-dimensional forces, of course, couldn't be rushed, but the best time to do something well was "ten years" ago, followed by the present.

"How are Kiro Lan and Morphie doing with you?"

"They..." Franca was taken aback, wondering why Bai E suddenly brought up an irrelevant topic, then quickly understood, "You are looking for those people... their progress is fast."

As top-tier spiritual energy talents encountered since the city was established, those two children's progress on the path of spiritual energy was exceedingly rare.

In just the short time they had been learning, both of their spiritual energy levels had reached the peak of the first phase, only temporarily stagnant due to the inevitable barrier between the first and second phases.

"... I've heard that a special trial is being organized soon for the two of them, to help them break through successfully. The place is giving it considerable attention."

Talented individuals receive attention wherever they go, and both children were also bright and keen, presumably doing well for themselves.

"That's good to hear," Bai E nodded with relief, "Can you get in touch with them?"

"Aglaya forbade you from meeting them..." taking a teasing glance at Bai E's face, Franca's eyes twinkled with mischief.

"So you all listen to her?"

Franca smiled, "If she knew your current level, she'd probably be the one regretting it the most."

To master second-phase spiritual energy in just over a month since inception as a homunculus was to surpass even the standards of Kiro Lan and Morphie.

Whether due to the inherent limitations of being a homunculus or purely wild self-exploration, these limiting factors were unimaginable disadvantages that the two well-led and protected children could not fathom. Bai E, who grew strong despite these conditions, made it difficult for Franca to comment from the position of a "senior" in spiritual energy.

It was a miracle!

Aglaya was not some narrow-minded villain; even if she misjudged something, as long as there was a chance to remedy it, she wouldn't miss it. Bai E's true spiritual energy level was bound to be revealed in the city one day, and Franca was eager to see the expression of that important person then.

"I will find an opportunity to arrange a meeting. Wait for my message." Franca always carried herself with the petulant grace of a noble young lady, but when it came down to business, she was incredibly reliable.

Her tone was short and decisive this time.

"Okay."

...

The staccato clack of high heels echoed down the dark corridors of the Arbitration Place.

The military's Psychic Pressure Resistance Training took place every other day. Franca, having completed today's session, had over a day's worth of free time, enough to run back and forth as needed.

A favor requested is a duty to be diligently carried out.

Immediately after training, Franca returned to the headquarters of the Arbitration Place, located within the city.

Sailing through greetings with a familiar Judge, she vigorously pursued the whereabouts of the two children and headed straight for their current location.@@novelbin@@

The Arbitration Place appeared to be a small complex of buildings, but in reality, its interior was twisted by spiritual energy, the actual space comparable to almost half the city. Without knowing the exact location of one's target, searching could be futile for an entire day.

Finally, in a dark void where a twisted vortex seemed present, Franca saw the two children, who were following their mentor and receiving guidance.

The mentor, a lean tall man with a somewhat grim expression, exuded a chill aura, making him unapproachable for most.

"Franca?" the mentor turned his head upon noticing the unexpected noise, his eyebrows furrowing with puzzlement.

Before Kiro Lan and Morphie joined the Arbitration Place, Franca was known as a minor celebrity.

Before the emergence of top spiritual energy talents, Franca's prowess was a widely acknowledged fact.

But...

"What are you doing here?"

"Came to play with them," Franca said with a cheeky smile, indicating the two children who were ensconced in their training.
