Chapter 1250 - Headstrong (1/2)
The remote projections of the Beyond Great As sat in the venue. Compared to forty years ago, there were more seats now. Beside Hila, an empty seat was added for Aurora.
At this time, the Beyond Grade As present were all chatting and curiously guessing the identity of this new Beyond Grade A.
As the information had not been leaked, the people present only knew that another new Beyond Grade A had been born in the universe. They did not know who this rookie was.
“I wonder if the rookie is a neutral or a member of a big organization.”
“There’s no information anywhere at all, and Black Star’s already recruited this guy. I have a feeling this rookie is closely related to Black Star.”
“I’m only curious about what Super class this rookie is.”
“I hope it’s not a Pugilist. There’s already enough people with clogged brains…”
The people chatted within their factions.
After forty years, many more factions were formed in the Beyond Grade A Association.
Some were classified by the huge organization they were in—for example, the three Universal Civilizations direct members, their allies, and the neutral ones. Some were classified by their partnerships, like those Beyond Grade As whose organization worked very well with each other. Others were classified by different classes. These factions were formed because of the private spread of the Ultimate Knowledges, which caused the Beyond Grade As in various classes to gather around the stronger ones with the same class as them.
Because of that, many members hoped the rookie had the same class as them so that they could expand their faction.
Han Xiao let them chat freely for a while. He then clapped and smiled.
“Alright, let’s keep it down and welcome the rookie.”
Hearing that the vice president had spoken, the members all shut their mouths, ignoring Manison, who was resting with his eyes closed.
Not long after, the side gate of the venue opened. The mature version of Aurora walked in and sized up everyone curiously.
The Beyond Grade As present also looked at her with curiosity and mumbled softly.
“So, she’s the new Beyond Grade A. Doesn’t look like a Pugilist, great.”
“Hmm, I don’t know her. I know all the renowned Beyond Grade A seeds in the universe. She’s definitely not one of them.”
“That’s weird. She looks familiar to me… Don’t you guys think she looks a little similar to Hila?”
At this time, Han Xiao spoke. “This rookie’s name is Aurora. She only stepped into the Beyond Grade A territory not long ago. She’s Hila’s sister and also is a member of the Black Star Army. Her ability is the complete opposite of Hila’s. She controls life energy. This can help others to quickly regenerate their wounds and recover their life force… Aurora, on behalf of the Beyond Grade A Association, I welcome you.”
As soon as he said that, shock appeared on almost everyone’s face.
This rookie is a Black Star Army officer again‽
She’s even the relative of another Beyond Grade A. What are the chances of that‽
“One controls death; one controls life. And they’re sisters! Why does this sound familiar?” someone murmured.
Hearing this, many people recalled that there was a similar pair of sisters among the Primordial Ones.
Same Esper Abilities, same two sisters… this is too coincidental!
If someone were to say the two sisters were completely unrelated to the Primordial sisters from history, the vast majority of people there would never believe it.
Recalling the stories of the Primordial sisters, the way they looked at Hila and Aurora changed subtly. On top of disbelief, a tint of desire appeared.
Hila’s ability could reduce people’s life span. If her sister’s ability was the opposite, did that mean she could increase people’s life span? Or could she even imitate the Primordial Ones and create the legendary ‘Underworld’?
Most people present had ideas of befriending Aurora and immediately welcomed her. They were very enthusiastic.
They avoided Hila as much as possible but acted the complete opposite with Aurora.
Seeing this, Hila coldly warned, “Don’t have any ideas about my younger sister. I won’t hold back.”
“We’re greeting Aurora. What does it have to do with you?”
Many snorted.
Although they feared Hila’s ability, they could not act that way.
However, words were one thing. Indeed, not many dared have any vicious thoughts. After operating for fifty years, the association had already established a reputation. Not many were willing to violate the rules and do anything to its members. Furthermore, most people feared the giant organization, the Black Star Army. Even if they were not afraid of Hila, they had to consider Black Star too.
As they thought of Black Star, they could not help but feel bitter and jealous.
He had acquired another Beyond Grade A officer… Where in the world did Black Star find so many top talents from?
“Er, I’m Aurora. I’m glad to join the association…”
Aurora came to her seat and briefly introduced herself. She then read the script she had memorized and said the standard things like ‘it’s an honor to be a part of the association’.
The others responded kindly.
Hila watched on the side and secretly curled her lips.
Tsk, you dogs. I’ve never seen you this enthusiastic toward me before…
Aurora was the focus of today’s welcome meeting. She had finally entered the Beyond Grade A circle and was filled with curiosity. In the face of the others trying to befriend her, she kept on talking excitedly, creating a clear contrast with Hila’s cold image.
From her own words, the others confirmed that Aurora could extend their life span. They were overjoyed.
However, as soon as they mentioned anything about requesting her to do it, Aurora kicked the ball to Han Xiao and stated that she would only listen to Black Star. This was discussed beforehand to increase Han Xiao’s reputation and position further, increasing his chances of being reelected as much as possible.
Hearing this, the people looked at Han Xiao. When they saw that he was smiling, they immediately knew that they had to pay a price for Han Xiao to approve their requests. After knowing him for so many years, they knew that Black Star was not easy to deal with or deceive. The presidential election was very soon; it was easy to figure out what Black Star was trying to convey.
After chatting for some time, someone could not hold back his curiosity and asked, “Why do you work for the Black Star Army?”
“Well, Black Star saved me…” Aurora briefly shared her experience in the Germinal Organization, saying that Black Star had saved her life.
Hearing this, even those who knew about Black Star’s early history were astonished.
A puny surface civilizations organization that made three Beyond Grade As, just how blessed is this Germinal Organization‽
After some time, seeing that they chatted about enough, Han Xiao spoke and changed the topic.
“Alright, you’ve all met. Let me use this opportunity to say something. The next plenary will be the presidential election. Manison will step down then, and all members can run. The election will be in the form of voting, and everyone has one vote. Don’t forget.”
