Chapter 8: Reviewing the Files
A while later.
With the stars guiding her, Mo Rabbit made her way to the academy’s archive room without any hassle.
“Hehe~ everything went smoothly.”
Even if the people at this academy discovered her tracks, they would never guess her true intentions.
Who could have guessed she’d head straight for the archive room?
And she didn’t face a single obstacle the entire time.
Mo Rabbit looked around and found many file bags.
They seemed like important documents but weren’t very significant.
Truly important information wouldn’t be here, but in more secret places.
However, that was more than enough for Mo Rabbit.
She planned to use divination to pick specific files rather than go through each one.
She’d bring the selected files to a hidden space and read them at her own pace—no rush.
“This world’s power system really has some rules, huh? It’s so complex, don’t they get tired of keeping track?”
Mo Rabbit muttered to herself as she browsed the history of abilities.
Body Type, Assistance Type, Medium Type, Mysterious Type, Elemental Type, Modern Type.
Body Type abilities were probably related to body parts.
Assistance Type was geared toward support and boosts.
Medium Type required specialized tools to cast spells.
Mysterious Type was all over the place with unpredictable powers.
Elemental Type was straightforward, controlling natural and special elements, like an otherworldly mage.
Modern Type relied on modern technology to work their magic.
There were even hybrid types.
Flying Wing Academy had six major divisions based on these categories, providing tailored training to boost students’ growth.
Impressive stuff.
Her own academy didn’t do anything like that.
Fresh bl**d was basically just grabbed off the streets and forced to work.
If someone was really powerful, they skipped the training phase and just learned the rules and basics, then studied under senior members.
Those with potential but no progress went through a mass training program.
Weak or powerless Star Holders were barely worth the effort.
Some weaker Star Holders were documented and left alone, as long as they didn’t stir trouble.
But in this world’s Flying Wing Academy, every ability user was treated equally.
Once they graduate, they get good jobs without worrying about straying.
Pretty much like a rehabilitation center for ability users.
During the disaster, they focused on creating strong warriors.
Afterwards, they guided users down the right path, adding many rules to keep their destructive tendencies in check.
In her own timeline, life wasn’t so structured.
Who cared how many Star Holders were out there?
A bunch of Night Watchers patrolled 24/7, watching for anomalies and star fluctuations.
Plus, that era’s tech was advanced; conventional armaments had cutting-edge weapons, including specialized star tech, which could handle almost all Star Holders.
Since Star Holders weren’t like Star Eclipses—they could still be hurt and were still human, vulnerable to deadly harm.
Only rare ones with converted abilities posed real threats.
Back to reality.
Mo Rabbit scanned ability history and noticed a name.
“Commander, a key figure in defining ability types and ranks? Possessing a Body Type ability called Spirit Vision, able to see basic info about users through photos and screens. High-ranking personnel at the academy.”
Mo Rabbit paused thoughtfully.
“That feeling I just had might be from him checking me out. Can’t tell what he saw.”
Then she shook it off and moved on, focusing on more interesting stuff, like the climax against the Mist Hidden Disaster.
The archives hinted at a deeper story.
“Sword Princess led six S-class ability users in the battle against the Disaster, while Zero-Style Nightfall showed incredible strength against S-class Mist Hidden Beasts, securing victory. The final unknown conflict ended it all.”
Mo Rabbit pondered.
Having read the history, she knew the power rankings.
S-class was the peak, roughly equivalent to Outlier Stars.
The ranking system matched perfectly, except Outlier Stars maxed out at A, with any higher risk of becoming Star Eclipses.
Star Eclipses were essentially damaged Outliers.
Night Star Lan’s spiritual energy was always kept at B-level to avoid Eclipse risks.
But below outliers, spiritual energy capped at A.
Beyond A, there was only risk of losing control and becoming an Eclipse.
Anyway, distinctions between S and A were clear.
Mo Rabbit kept reading and found some extra notes on rankings.
Apparently, they added plus or minus signs after the letters to further differentiate levels.
Top of the heap was “S+.”
Quite impressive.
So who were these legendary “S+” users?
Just how powerful were they compared to the star system?
Mo Rabbit was intrigued.
But no “S+” records surfaced. Not even any S-class ones.
Could S+ users just not exist?
Impossible.
Right when she arrived, she observed native ability users ranged from weak to strong, comparing notes with her world’s Sun Guard.
A-grade ability users matched Sun Guard power-wise.
That was initial comparison.
Actual combat was unpredictable.
To truly know who was stronger, you’d need them to fight it out.
But no S-class users were visible.
If A-class could match Sun Guard, S-class must be way more powerful, maybe like Outlier Stars.
And S+ level was beyond Outliers.
No idea if they hit Princess Wish level.
Wish Princess’s limits were unimaginable, restricted only by spiritual energy.
This world’s abilities probably had no such restrictions.
If an S+ user reached S+ spiritual energy, they could easily overpower incomplete versions of Wish Princess, even obliterate broken Origin halves.
Scary stuff.
