When Garen City Lord spoke, Philip General didn't even lift his eyes. He just snorted: "Does it matter if I believe it or not? Bell made a smart move by helping Logan."

Then, Philip General pulled out a thick pile of papers and threw them in front of Garen City Lord. "Since the first round of the internal competition at Genius Training Camp ended, we've caught more than thirty spies. All of them were investigating Logan."

Garen City Lord picked up the report and started reading. The more he read, the brighter his eyes became.

After finishing the last page, he finally sighed and smiled: "His Mental Power is close to the Legend stage. Such a special talent winning the first place in the internal competition makes perfect sense."

Hearing this, Philip General also smiled. "For most spies, as long as they finish their job and don't dig too deep, Logan's secret can stay hidden. Even if he does something strange after this Mental Power battle, people will just think it's normal."

Then Philip General's tone changed, and a mocking smile appeared on his face. "Ever since the Chairman went missing, everyone has been eyeing the Chairman's position. All the big families want to raise the next supernova. For ten years, anyone with supernova potential has been thoroughly investigated by those politicians. Some geniuses even lost their chance to become supernovas because of the family conflicts. Natalia was delayed, Bell was delayed, and now we just have to see if Logan can avoid their traps."

Garen City Lord looked sad after hearing Philip General's words. "Without becoming a supernova, you can't use human genes to reach the Saint level. Natalia and Bell were forced to mix their DNA with beings from another world by chance. That's a big loss for the federation. But at least Natalia has Old Corleone's protection, so she can still be a City Lord. Bell, however, was just controlled by them and sentenced to death."

"Chance?" Philip hit the table hard. "Garen, you were the Chairman's student. You should know that there's nothing accidental here. It's all about people's schemes. There are too many corrupt people in the council. Back then, Old Corleone shouldn't have kicked Natalia out of the family just for them. He loved that granddaughter so much."

As Philip General was about to continue speaking, Garen City Lord quickly stopped him. "Shh, Philip General. The incident from before was ordered to be kept quiet by the acting Chairman. You should stop talking about it."

"Stop talking? Hmph. Even if Natalia was betrayed, Sophia and Lucia from Genius Training Camp could have become supernovas back then. But what happened to them? Have you forgotten?" At this, Philip General's face turned even darker. "To become a supernova, you have to marry into a federal politician's family, and wed the children of those parasites. What kind of stupid rule is that! If it weren't for my promise to the chairman to protect the northern border, I would have cut them all down back then. And then Jason, the old principal of Genius Training Camp, wouldn't have died alone."

After saying that, Philip General stood up and left, leaving Garen City Lord alone in the office, lost in thought.

After a long silence, Garen City Lord sighed softly and said to himself, "Teacher, forgive me. I failed to protect Principal Jason."

Meanwhile, in a cemetery in Saint Heart City.

Sophia and Lucia stood in front of a tombstone, offering a bunch of lilies with respect.

Even though the photo on the tombstone had faded from the wind and sun, the two could still remember the kind face of the old man in their minds.

"Teacher, we've come to see you," Lucia gently brushed the leaves off the tombstone, her eyes deep.

"Listen to some good news. Genius Training Camp finally has a student with supernova potential. His name is Logan." Sophia took out a handkerchief and wiped the photo frame on the tombstone. "He's the one you've been looking for all along."

When Lucia heard Sophia's words, her eyes suddenly lit up with determination and strength. "Teacher, don't worry. We won't let him go through the same pain we did. He will definitely become the next [supernova] of the federation."

…

Far away, Logan stood on the back of the horned hawk, Red Feather, and casually sent a dozen monsters into the War Domain.

Logan estimated how many monsters were in the War Domain, then called Bell Major. "Can we start the next battle with a hundred people?"

On the other end of the phone, Bell Major checked the time and looked a bit tired. "This is the 87th time! Are you not tired? I've only been resting for less than five minutes!"

Hearing Bell Major's complaint, Logan smiled.

To become a great battlefield commander, theory alone doesn't help.

Only by leading real battles can you learn the fastest and most effectively.

Throughout history, almost all the great generals were made through fighting.

So, ever since he left the base, he had already made a training plan with Bell Major — keep doing the [Hundred-Unit Battle] over and over again.

What is a Hundred-Unit Battle? It's a training method where both sides have about a hundred fighters, and the battle uses different terrain, environment, and weather conditions.

Logan kept sending monsters into his eight [War Domains]. Every time he had about a hundred monsters, he would pick a group of 100 made up of black ants and seductive mermaids to fight.

At first, when the numbers were equal, after defeating 100 monsters, Logan would lose about 50 of his soldiers, and the remaining 50 would all be injured.

After giving the battle video to Bell Major, he was immediately yelled at by him.

But Logan didn't give up. He kept reviewing and improving based on Bell Major's advice.

Soon, he gathered a second group of monsters.

In the second Hundred-Unit Battle, he managed to keep his losses at 40 dead, 20 seriously injured, and 40 lightly injured.

After watching the video of Logan's second battle, Bell Major quickly gave some new suggestions.

And so, every time Logan had a group of 100 monsters, he led a [Hundred-Unit Battle]. And each time, the terrain, environment, and advantages were different.

On the other hand, Bell Major had to carefully study every one of Logan's battle videos. He helped Logan find problems in his command and gave him advice on how to improve his tactics.

Sometimes, Bell Major even used Logan's real battle videos to teach him some theory about tactics, helping him build a solid and mature command system.

Without realizing it, the two of them had gone through this cycle 87 times.

Even Bell Major, with his Legend-level Mental Power, was starting to feel worn out from such intense training.

Logan thought for a moment and then suggested, "What if we change it up and do a [Five-Hundred Battle] instead? I'll gather 500 monsters before starting."

Bell Major hit the table and said: "Great! Let's do it. I'll treat this as a luxury!"

In fact, a battle with 500 on each side was already beyond the usual command range of a battlefield officer.

In the army, there are commanders at every level — from the general to the company commander.

A fight with 500 people wasn't something a company commander could handle.

But Bell Major didn't care. As long as he could get a break, he was happy to make things harder for Logan. "It's been two hours since I last yelled at that kid. Commanding a battle of 500 people? He's definitely going to make a lot of mistakes!"

After saying that, Bell Major calmly picked up a bag of top-quality coffee beans and started grinding them slowly.

As the blades cut through each dark-roasted bean, a rich and sweet smell filled the air.

"There's nothing more relaxing than drinking a cup of coffee." Bell Major hummed as he started boiling water.

But before the water even boiled, his phone rang again.

After being disturbed by Logan 87 times in a row, he was already a little on edge.

Still, he didn't believe Logan could gather 500 monsters that quickly.

"Maybe Owen and the others are in trouble," Bell Major muttered, then picked up his phone. But when he saw the screen, he was shocked.

What popped up on his phone was a battle video Logan had just taken.

As he saw the file still downloading, a big vein popped out on Bell Major's forehead.

He grabbed his phone, and without waiting for the video to finish downloading, he immediately called Logan.

"You stole the monster's nest or what?! How did you get so fast?!"

Logan could tell Bell Major was getting angry, so he smiled and rubbed his nose. "It's not that I'm fast. I just had more than ten thousand monsters stored up in my War Domain that I hadn't killed yet."

Crash!

Bell Major's white coffee cup broke into pieces on the floor.

He opened his mouth, trying to say something, but in the end, all he could do was sigh. "Why did you even keep so many monsters?"

Logan looked innocent and answered, "You said I could only kill a hundred at a time. I've been doing it as fast as I could."

Bell Major shook his head in disbelief. "You keep so many monsters in your familiar space. Don't you worry they'll cause trouble?"

Logan laughed but didn't answer directly. He just said: "I can handle it."

In reality, an S-level familiar didn't just make monsters go crazy.

At the very least, when Lilith fully used her aura, those monsters were as calm as sheep.
