The atmosphere in the principal's office was heavy with anticipation. Principal Garen sat behind his massive oak desk, his fingers steepled, staring at the report in his hands with eyes full of shock. Beside him, Vice-Principal Elena and the head of the Combat Department, Master Borg, were equally silent.
"The data is irrefutable," Master Borg said, his voice deep and rumbling. "I watched the security footage. Anthony didn't use any flashy magic or violent Qi bursts. He simply moved. His timing, his angle, his understanding of force... it was perfect. It was like he was dissecting their movements before they even made them."
"And his academic scores," Vice-Principal Elena added softly. "The teachers say he isn't just answering questions; he is correcting the textbooks. He proposed a new formula for energy conversion that our research team is still trying to verify. It is efficient beyond belief."
Principal Garen sighed, leaning back. "We all know the rules. Awakening happens at thirteen, or never. Yet, Anthony has defied heaven's law. He awakened late, and whatever he awakened... it is terrifyingly powerful."
"We cannot treat him like a regular student anymore," Master Borg stated firmly. "If he continues to grow at this rate, within a year he will surpass all of us. We must give him special resources. Private tutors, access to the restricted library, high-grade energy crystals... everything he needs."
"But what is his soul type?" Elena asked. "The Awakening Crystal didn't give a clear reading last time. It almost... resisted scanning."
"Whatever it is," Garen decided, "it is a top-tier existence. We will promote him immediately to the Special Class. He deserves the best treatment. This boy... he might become the trump card of our Academy."
