Chapter 16: Chapter 16 – Invitation Call

Terra Stars was about to take a break and relax, her communicator began to ring. An incoming communication request filled the device. The loner Terra couldn’t help but wonder about it. Her history in this world had always been alone. She was an orphan since childhood, and usually in class she was very low-key, barely any acquaintances.

When she crossed over she naturally inherited her predecessor’s memories and experiences. That was how she could fit into this strange world with an advanced civilization without extreme scientific technology. To Terra Stars, the communicator had just been a decoration.

She picked up the call from an unfamiliar number. “Hello?”

“Hello Student Terra Stars.” A familiar voice came from the opposite side. Terra’s expression turned serious as she recognized it. The Principal, Janus Estroid, she met after completing the awakening ceremony.

“Greetings principal. What can I do for you today?” Terra greeted him and directly asked the call’s purpose. Neither her predecessor nor herself liked bullshit or favoritism. Favors would always cost something.

“How is your realm going?” Janus Estroid asked.

“The school is currently gathering the statistics of each student’s realm. The results of the statistics…” He continued for a moment before he paused again.

Janus Estroid clears his voice before continued, “Do you know the annual Polaris Tourney?”

“Of course, I know.” Terra Stars replied.

With her extra memories, she knew the so-called Polaris Region Tournament. An annual event held by the Province lord’s government. The contestants were talented students from various High schools in the province. Some people referred to it as “Polaris Genius Battle”.

“Right, Polaris Tourney is the most important event before the college entrance examination. Not only can you advertise yourself, but you can also find out some of the basics of the talented students participating.” Janus Estroid said.

“This year’s competition is quite special.” Janus Estroid’s continued words did not stir any questions from Terra Stars. She chose to listen quietly instead.

Janus Estroid had no choice but to continue the one-man conversation, “The rules of this year’s competition are still the same. With five students from our No. 7 High School.”

“So, to save time, our school will directly select the top five students according to the size of the realm to participate…”

“So, Terra Stars, what is the diameter of your realm now?” Janus Estroid finished his solo show with a quick breath.

Without hesitation or stutter, Terra replied, “355.3 kilometres.”

Having no need to hide anything, she told the latest information. With her incredibly limited channels of information, she had no clue where this fit with other newly awakened realms. This tournament would only reveal the hidden cards of the geniuses of the whole region.

“55.3 kilometres?” Janus Estroid couldn’t help but mishear.

It had been half a month since the awakening ceremony. During this time, many students were vigorously developing their realm. In the news that he knew, there were already students’ who have reached over 100 kilometres.

Terra Stars, who broke the Polaris Province record had a high start. Although it was just an ordinary energy realm, but Janus Estroid still felt that there should be some potential. ‘That… yes, it is really just ordinary energy… just twenty kilometres…” he thought reluctantly and wrongly.

Now thinking it had only increased by less than 20 kilometers. He begun to think, let alone comparing it to the talented students at the top even some middle of the pack students could be above her.

Janus Estoid called and asked in person because he had some interest in the progress of Terra Stars’ realm. Having considered that her realm was just an ordinary one, he didn’t have too many expectations. But he still felt upset hearing the insignificant progress.

After a brief silence, he comforted, “This… is not too bad… you can add so much to it, time is still…”

His hesitant comforting is abruptly cut off by Terra Stars.

“300… and 55.3 kilometres.” She emphasized the important part. Silence flowed from the communicator.

After a while, as if to wake up, a voice suddenly exclaimed, “What did you say?! 355.3 kilometres?!”

“Yes, 355.3 kilometres” Terra Stars calmly replied. Secretly hoping she didn’t have to repeat it the same number of kilometres her realm’s diameter was.

The sound of crashing and clambering came from the other side of the communicator. Another waited while later, Janus Estroid’s gentle and calm voice asked, “Are you sure you awakened an ordinary energy realm?”

“Of course, it’s certain, I can distinguish between ordinary energy and extraordinary energy.” Terra Stars declared. In her mind she silently added ‘I just have the ever-growing analysis system.’

“Alright, okay.” Janus Estroid had realized its useless to comprehend a monster level genius like Terra Stars.

“Principal, my current realm should be able to rank first, right?” Terra Stars asked, a serious interest in whether her realm was still progressing smoothly. She only thought she just maintained her lead on her peers.

The awakening ceremony was only half a month ago. How the realms of other students were developing was something she can’t know. Terra Stars had no insider channels and an anti-gossip defense called ‘no friends’. She had no idea about this side of Realm Rulers.

“…” Janus Estroid wanted to shout loudly. To scold, ‘are you still asking, should you?, after having a realm already 355.3 kilometres?’. But he kept back his words and maintained his experienced principal appearance.

The previous best student for the school at this stage of development was just over 130 kilometres. Terra Stars initial 35.5 kilometers diameter was already an extremely monstrous result. Breaking records and even took it from a famous genius of this year. But this was even more exaggerated.

Janus Estroid had not seen or even heard of something more unimaginable than this. He heard there are some talented students that were at more than 150 kilometres, even some top geniuses at 200 kilometres, but he never heard of anyone exceeding 300 kilometres in just half a month.

This outrageous result could no longer be described by the word, monster.

He took a deep breath, Janus Estroid regained his sense of calm. He said, “Your data is currently the first among all the students in our school, you don’t have to worry about not being selected for the competition.”

‘Selected?’ She was stunned for a moment.

“That… umm, can I not participate?” she asked.

To Terra Stars, there was no point in taking part in the big sports-ball game of the region in this world. She might as well use that time to work on continuing Gaia’s growth or go plundering at the Society of Realms.

“… You don’t want to participate?” Janus wasn’t expected to be stunned again, but he was.

“I don’t have much time right now.” She deployed the easiest excuse at hand. The ol’ trusty, no time.

Janus Estroid thought, ‘She has a planet over 300 kilometres in diameter and you won’t go? I am unable to allow such a thing to occur’, he bitterly explained, “This year’s Tourney is a bit special. First place not only has a rewards of 100 million federal coins and the opportunity to select a treasure from the Province Lord’s treasury…”

“The Province Lord will also personally guide you!” He said the last sentence with extra vigor, Janus deepened his tone.

In fear of another shocking sentence coming from this girl, he added another sentence, “The Province Lord is a fifth-level Realm Ruler. This is a rare and valuable opportunity.”

The Polaris Province covered a seventh of just one planet. The planet was considered the whole of the Caldera Principality that was just 45^th in the Lumine Empire that covered a vast expanse of the star cluster commonly called Cosmic Star Cluster.

This made the Province Lord one of the top ten strengths stationed on the planet, even if other planets are but a teleportation array away it was a high level of power for a place far from the Imperial Capital Regions.

Janus Estroid’s worries were unfound because Terra Stars eyes narrowed at the first reward. 100 million cash, for someone who was extremely short of money, this was a huge sum.

‘As Gaia grows, accelerating the realm space’s time flow consumes more and more origin energy. The half-portion plundered will be used up shortly.’ Muttered in her heart she was completely hooked by the money.

If she could get the hundred million, she would be set for origin energy until the college entrance exams. As for the rest, it was of little value to Terra Stars. The hook was a catch, Terra Stars decided she may as well go.

“Well, if I qualify, I will participate.”

“Very well, I will fill in your name right now.” Janus Estroid’s voice was very serious. The communication ended swiftly afterwards.

“One hundred million…” Terra Stars gazed into the air.

Time to prepare Gaia for its new conquest.

…

No. 7 High School Principal’s Office.

Janus Estroid, who just ended the call, leant back in his chair. He breathed a deep sigh. He just had the fright of his life. If the previous case of when he first heard Terra Stars, who broke the Province record, had a realm of ordinary energy, was a single jump scare. This time was a whole series of horrors marching at once.

“355.3 kilometres…” He muttered the number. 

He called the teacher who was in charge of counting the results of each student. After a while a young teacher came into the office with a page in hand.

He handed it over and said, “Principal, these are the top five students in our school’s realm diameter ranking.”

“Good” Janus glanced at the data.

This year’s results were much better than previous years, if it were before calling Terra Stars, he would ask a few more questions about the situation of these students. Quickly growing numb to impressive stats, he lost interest.

Janus Estroid directly crossed out the name of the bottom student with a pen and squeezed Terra Stars’ name at the top. The young teacher in charge of the statistics looked at his actions with some doubts but held them back in the face of the principal.
