(Rodova Military Academy– The Academic Wing, Principal's Office)

Seated in the grand, dimly lit expanse of his private office, Principal Alric Dainhart swirled the champagne in his glass, the golden liquid catching the light of the massive holographic display before him.

His mood was exceptionally good today—better than it had been in years.

Because, just moments ago, he had received a Level-One Alert from the academy's Genetic Assessment Department for student Su Yang.

A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips as he reviewed the report once more.

A true scion of the Su Clan, the boy had been evaluated to possess Monarch-Level Potential—a classification so rare that even among the Six Great Clans, it was spoken of with reverence.

In the universe, Monarchs were beings with power and influence just a step under Gods, and to possess genes capable enough to reach that threshold was a true rarity.
