To enter the Academy, let's say it's not an easy task. First of all, documents, you need to submit all kinds of documents. Tribes on the mainland usually don't record their military personnel's progression or give certificates for their graduation.
This changed due to a request from the Goddess of Living Object, to allow their citizens more viable internationally (or intertribally). We, as a new island Shaper, alongside the fifth generation of Selebes, are the first to experience these changes.
Back to the documents, two of the most important things to submit are a recommendation letter and a Manshira diploma.
Manshira is a title given to those who already achieved the 7th level of elemental progression. Which is also the highest you can get as someone who is not a Family Head or his first wife (up to 8th), part of the main family (up to 8th), or even Tribal Chief (8th to 9th).
After the Academy has approved all the documents you submitted and reviewed them, they will ask you to take two types of tests, one is written and the other is practical.
Both tests are different for each tribe, since each has its own uniqueness, and excels at a different field. Just by looking at the race itself, people are already diversified. A Scientist has a highly intelligent brain, while Shaper possessed inhuman strength.
So, in any case, anyone can get a perfect score when entering. Though the one who managed to do that is only… Hada. To be fair I'm not even gonna be surprised if his score shows a value higher than 1000.
Well, that should explain the big picture of the journey the archstudents take until finally being accepted. Now let's get back to the story!

"As for your question… at the time of our written test, all of the Sky Scientists are gathered in one big room." Chiya started her explanation.
"There, we are being supervised by such a lovely lady, she's so kind and vivid, maybe even as bright as the Sun herself!" She continued excitedly.
"She's a Genka with a very… very fine ass! Wearing a tight one-piece latex mini catsuit, just like the one Anna wearing right now, only skimpier and a lot more detailed with all kinds of enhancement and enchantment on it." The lady looked so thirsty, smiling uncontrollably while sharing her stories.
"Mother!?" I almost shouted, I was quite astounded and disturbed by the way she described my mother.
"Your mother? Wait that's the Queen!? Ah… I can see the resemblance now~" Chiya starts eyeing my body left and right, up and down. What a creep.
"Wait I get the idea now, so you saying, all the male Sky Scientist got distracted by how enchanting my mother's look!?" I'm in for a shock!
"Bingo! Aren't your mother just lovely~"
I seriously don't know how to feel hearing my mother being praised this way by someone I'm about to spend my four years with.
"Wait, why aren't the female Sky Scientist got distracted then? Aren't all Scientists attracted to both sides?"
There's never been any case of a same-sex couple though, yet they seem to always get fascinated by one another.
"Of course~ But aren't like men, we don't have another brain under our crotch, so the nerf we take aren't as big as the boys."
I somehow… able to understand that— but she's talking about my MOTHER, I've never been this uncomfortable in my whole life!
"Can we stop? We already got the big idea of why there's only female Sky Scientist in this class, I don't want to ruin the image of the Queen in my head…" Hada seemed like he's about to puke, even his sister Falisha looked nauseous.
"So Hazana, now you know why you are here instead of your brother, please don't feel so down as you're one of us now," I said to the lightning girl who's been so red throughout our conversation about my mother. I guess she also got distracted while taking the written test.
"A—alright then, Your Highness… I understand, it just seems unfair!"
Wow, that's a high tone.
"Just accept it Hazana, questioning the decision of the God of Death, is like asking for a death wish."
Hada who is no longer interested in this topic just wanted to be done with it. Even his voice sounds so annoyed.
"So—sorry…" The girl then lowered her gaze with teary eyes. "My statistic… please look at it."
She then finally showed her front page to us.

I was almost afraid to talk after looking at it.
"Uh… that's… endearing." Said Falisha, half-heartedly trying to not sound demeaning.
"Ah… I see the pattern now." Meanwhile, her twin brother just casually examined her statistic.
"Pattern?" I asked, a little bit interested.
"Yep, I finally understand how the Creator diversifies the power level between each hierarchy."
That ice brother of mine then takes a pen and a piece of paper from his personal dimension. He started writing the statistic of every team member and its total, based just on how he recorded it in his memory.
"Statistic level seems to be categorized into 4 different levels, normal or civilian, soldier or mage, blessed and mainline."
He then continued his explanation, turning and showing his paper to us, while writing upwards from the top of the paper.
"Normal statistic level is probably about 2000 for female and 2200 for male."
"Soldier statistic level is slightly higher, cause that's how I see it from day to day life, about 1.25x higher, which is 2500 for female and 2750 for male."
"Blessed statistic level is for those who are blessed by the Gods like Draconus do, which is 1.75x higher than normal, 3500 for female and 3850 for male."
"Lastly is the mainline statistic level, about 2.5x higher than the civilian, 5000 for female and 5500 for male."
He then put away his pen while the rest of us were amazed by how he was able to decipher all those information into something this simple.
*BAM!*
Suddenly a loud noise sounded from the front of the class, and when I look, I see a giant tree-like elemental standing right beside Mrs. Senaria, hitting the whiteboard with its huge hand.
"Introduction ends… times for… class."
Said our supervisor, with a sea of words and pictures written on her back (whiteboard).
