Monster Integration

"You already thanked me yesterday; you do not have to come personally today," I said to Camphor, who is in front of me.

She had again come to thank me, which I say is unnecessary, but I am thankful that she did as I was able to extract another packet of data from her.

This one is related to the practice she did after her breakthrough; I am sure she would have used all her abilities and that secondary power core; I am very excited to see how it worked.

Yesterday, I had not slept till late as I was studying the precious data my seed had collected on the Hybrid Core.

"It is at least what I could do, and I also wanted to give this to you," She said and placed a dark blue crystal the size of a small coin in my hand.

I am shocked seeing it; I know what it is as before leaving, I had told her about it and how to take it out of her body. I am shocked because I already have something like it; I have two, and I have been very wrong about them.

I thought they were energy crystals and had even tried to use them in my level up but looking at the dark blue crystal that Camphor had handed it to me, I am very sure that two crystals I have found in that ruin merged with our world.

That makes them even more precious, especially the one which was hungered by my runes; I already begin to have hundreds of thoughts about how I could utilize it.

"It is very precious," I said while looking at the crystal. "It is also useless; I might not know much, but I know enough that in my or anybody else's hand, it is useless; only you will be able to find any use for it," She said, and to that, I smiled.

She did not stay for long and left while I also went back to my room.

In my core, I placed the dark blue crystal beside the other two crystals; the tests proved that dark blue crystals are the same as the other two crystals, and their grade is also about the same.

Of the three crystals, two are useless to me, including the one given to me by Camphor. As I said before, one could only use these crystals if one is compatible with them, and the compatibility also needs to be good to avoid any side effects.

I possess no compatibility with the other two crystals, but with the third one, I am compatible with, and the compatibility is also quite good.

The ideas already began to flow in my mind, and I noted down all. These crystals are so precious that I might not be able to find another one in my life, so I have to utilize them in a way that would bring me the greatest benefits.

I started immediately on the research, and before I knew it, the day had passed. I have not only done the research and work but also healed another old patient in the hall of sleep than now; there are four remaining.

It won't be long before I heal four of them; I am already close to deducing the healing methods for two.

I woke up the next day with a smile, but when I remembered what began from today, that smile on my face had dimmed a little.

From today, I have to participate in the leadership program and participate in physical and not through the projection. The thing that got me most stressed was that I didn't know how long it would last; it would be a week or month, it would all depend on the Grand Commander.

I really don't want to participate in this leadership practice; I would very much like to keep working on the things with the time I have. I even let my intentions know, and while that helped me before this time, it is not helping me.

The higher-ups are quite adamant about making me attend this course.

Sigh!

I took a sigh and got out of the bed; I quickly freshened up and showered. I wore my military uniform and placed all the new badges, including the ones I got a few days ago, before walking out of my room.

"So, the leadership program, are you excited?" My father asked as I walked into the kitchen. "Not really," I said as I took a seat beside my sister.

"Your mother has once told me that she has very much looked forward to attending this course in her younger days; she had wanted to reach the Master class as soon as possible to do it," he said while placing a plate with pancakes in front of me.

Even after a year, there was no news of mom; the council is still saying that mother is alive and still doing her secret mission god knows where.

Soon, I finished my breakfast and kissed my sister's cheeks, and walked out of the kitchen toward the teleportation formation.

It is my first day, and I don't want to be late. I want to make a good impression, so I could request the Grand Commander to let me participate in the program by projection.

Soon, I stepped into the formation and used my badge to unlock the coordinates. The place I am going to is the most protected place in the world, and there are strict measures to keep it protected.

The teleportation formation lit up, and I disappeared from my place and appeared in front of the huge yellow glass gates.

I pushed them open and walked inside, and even though I had come to the central command before, I couldn't but feel impressed by it. It is Grand with hundreds of screens floating around; they were showing the various scenes.

From the calm forts on the hills to huge battles involving the Grandmasters, everything that is happening in the world could be seen in this hall.
