"There is nothing we can do about it. If we want to lay a solid foundation, we can only grind it over time," Callast explained helplessly.

Because of their strict rules, only a few had advanced to Tier 2 professional status.

Even those who had advanced before were downgraded to one.

"Should we decrease the difficulty?" Vasht asked, turning to Nash. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

According to the needs of the Neon Star Alliance, they were in short supply of professionals.

Even if they lacked proficiency in some matters, it would be better than being slow.

"No, this is fine. These are the seedlings of the future. We can’t drain them just for immediate gain," Nash shook his head.

Although this would delay the development of the Neon Star Alliance, he didn’t care.

He would rather have it slow than have a leaky foundation in the future.

Anyway, with more and more teams they recruited along the way, there weren’t lacking workers.

Once everything stabilized in the future, it would be when these talents would shine.

"Anyway, do you have anything you need? In a while we will venture into the public trading zone to stock up on supplies."

"We are indeed lacking some equipment and materials," Lirel sighed in frustration.

As the one responsible for material distribution across the University, he knew they were severely lacking in some things.

Because they were somewhat isolated, those rare materials and unique equipments were severely limited.

"Don’t worry. Just list everything you need. We’ll see if we can find it."

"You can also request the items for yourself. It’s not only the students who must improve; you also need to."

No matter how much he had to invest, Nash was willing to spend it on these future talents.

Especially for these three peak Tier 7 professionals.

Once they advance, it would be a monumental breakthrough.

As for other Tier 7 peak professionals, it was not too important.

Voryn Callast was a Tier 7 peak professional, Yura Vasht was a Tier 7 peak alchemist, and Lirel Cayne was a Tier 7 peak mechanic.

These were the three cornerstones of the Neon Star Alliance.

Once they improved, everyone would ascend with them.

"Many thanks, Supreme Leader. We will do our best to fulfill your expectations."

"Hmm, good!"

Soon, touring the whole place with the headmasters, time quickly passed by.

Seeing each talent blooming, Nash couldn’t suppress his smile.

Especially those SSS-level talents; they were simply monstrous in each of their respective professions.

Even with the difficulty of the assessments, they passed everything without fail.

Basically, every moment of their time was not spent studying but fulfilling each task of the assessments.

Meaning the reason they were still Tier 2 professionals wasn’t because they weren’t skilled enough, but because they were still taking the assessments.

Seeing such a surge of growth, how could Nash not be satisfied?

Furthermore, besides the three SSS-level talents they found a few years ago, with the addition of hundreds of cosmic team alliances, another dozen were added into the mix.

In total, there were now over 30 SSS-level professional talents joining the scene.

As for SS and S-level talents, there were already too many for Nash to bother counting.

Satisfying his curiosity about the University, Nash said goodbye to the three headmasters and planned his next destination.

"Where shall we go next?"

"What about the Military Academy next door?" Camilla suggested.

If the University was for various professions, the Military Academy was a place for cultivating power.

"Let’s go. I’m also curious," Nash smiled.

---

Arriving at the Military Academy star-cluster system, they couldn’t help but be stunned.

"This place is too big!"

If the Professional University star-cluster system were a lake, then the Military Academy would be an ocean.

This place was not just made of one star cluster, but of multiple.

They estimated that the area it occupied was larger than the Neon Star Cluster System itself.

One had to know that, after many years, the Neon Star Cluster System had expanded many times over.

To accommodate cosmic elites from hundreds of cosmic team alliances, they had to add planet after planet.

Camilla and Elizabeth thought it was big enough. However, arriving at the sphere of influence of the Military Academy, they realized they were short-sighted.

"The military is the blood and flesh of the Neon Star Alliance. It couldn’t be too small," Nash smiled, already having an idea of the place.

After all, he was the one who approved the use of such a massive area.

"Did they direct all students to this place?" Camilla asked.

To need such a large area, she could only imagine all the students were here.

"No, similar to the Professional University, they only took those with at least Grade A talents."

"It seems there are many talents in the Alliance."

"After all, the way of the world values strength. Naturally, it would give birth to more of such individuals."

Nodding in understanding, Camilla and Elizabeth could only feel emotional.

Indeed, even if one had talent in a specific profession, as long as they could pursue the path of strength, they were willing to set it aside.

Proceeding to the place, they were greeted by a large fleet.

"We greet the Supreme Commander!"

"What a way to greet someone," Nash chuckled, feeling the thick fighting intent.

It seemed the atmosphere in the Military Academy was more competitive than the other.

"At ease, General Umdan Felsh. You can dismiss the rest. I’m only here for a tour," Nash ordered, not wanting such a display.

"As ordered, Commander!" Felsh complied, dismissing everyone.

Umdan Felsh was a Tier 8 War God who had experienced countless battles from the ground up.

With strength and experience, the management of the Military Academy naturally fell to him.

"Do you have any orders, Supreme Commander?" Felsh asked after dismissing everyone.

Although Nash was a mere Tier 5 powerhouse, his prestige and authority commanded respect.

More importantly, he felt a sense of threat as he got closer.

This was not just from the Tier 8 battleships, but from Nash himself.

"At ease, general. We merely wanted to tour the place. If you have nothing to do, why don’t you guide us?"

"It’s my honor."

"Haha, then come on in..."
