The detailed directory is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long list refreshed on Lann’s retinas, resembling a waterfall of data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human eye could hardly keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann pinched the bridge of his nose and said helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s simplify it, Mentos... Are [Combat] and [Biochemical Knowledge] considered learnable subjects? Can academic achievements in these two areas serve as credentials for me to take academic tests and thereby increase my bio-intelligence’s permissions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s thinking was straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those undergoing body enhancement surgeries were often warriors, so there was no shortage of memories related to [Combat].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And due to the inherent characteristics of this gene seed, [Biochemical Knowledge] had also flourished among generations of Interstellar Warriors, and was a personal goal as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retrieve something from the memory ocean spanning ten thousand years as study material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then pass an academic proficiency test to gain advanced intellect permissions, unlocking more computational power limits until Mentos could turn the chaotic memories into a searchable database.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he could study, test, and upgrade more efficiently...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t that create a virtuous cycle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ehh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with a significant computational load, Mentos’s voice still displayed a hint of astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This BUG, when placed upon it, was largely inexploitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The [Combat] project is a Human Alliance Military Academy project, not available without connecting to a military school. [Biochemical Knowledge] is classified under the medical department and scientific development department and is not open without registration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called ’registration’ might just require ticking a box or notifying someone within the network environment of the Human Union.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Lann...

But what about [Spectatorial Combat], or say, [Ceremonial Combat]?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by that Interstellar Warrior’s appearance he recalled, Lann couldn’t believe he wouldn’t engage in spectatorial combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That guy had even trained \"aesthetic sense\" into his bones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on what was newly learned about the genetic seed’s inheritance traits, likely eighty percent of the Legion called [Sons of the Emperor] were masters of combat arts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentos: \"...These two projects are more often classified as sub-projects of [Performing Arts] or [Ceremony], and are indeed not restricted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, my current mode of my intellect is [Extraterrestrial Survival], residing in a hostile and unfamiliar alien environment. By self-learning [Biochemical Knowledge] through extremely high aptitude, I ensure my own survival and development. Is this scenario unacceptable to the Human Union?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentos was silent for a while, seemingly searching for relevant articles of the education law within its logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...The [Extraterrestrial Survival Mode] manages to bypass the knowledge dissemination restriction clauses stipulated in Article 74, Subsection 5 of the education law; the learning permission for [Biochemical Knowledge] is granted to the subject.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Lann felt he could hear a toothache in the tone of the bio-intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He figured it must be an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, the learning strategy for the foreseeable future had been clarified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had obtained a reasonable explanation for his current impulse to perfect himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The genetic seed’s implantation had come to a satisfactory conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The genetic seed had only been installed in his body for less than an hour, yet the increase in toxin resistance was already absurdly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann felt that as the genetic seed continued to blend with his body over time, significant changes should manifest even prior to implanting any other enhancement organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the amount of magic power stored in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic power storage of a Demon Hunter, unlike a Warlock, primarily depended on their physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the Griffin School, most schools didn’t have the magic power reserves to cast two Magic Seals consecutively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Lann’s last overdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it had been less than an hour now, Lann felt as if his magic power was being replenished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling usually only arose after using a Magic Seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it had been a long time since he last used magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was newborn magic power filling up the enhanced limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The changes brought by the genetic seed to the body required lengthy observation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But first, Lann decided to tidy up the room a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew—Alia, come over and lend a hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann exhaled deeply, intoxicated by the sense of accomplishment that came from achieving a goal through hard work and effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rose from the bed, handed a broom from the corner of the room to the little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then began to gather his surgical equipment and the inn’s furniture that he had moved aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t forgotten why he had specifically left Airetusa to come to the Silver Swan Tavern for the genetic seed implantation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to stay inconspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bloodstains on the floor weren’t significant, thanks to the [Swallow] stopping the bleeding in time. Lann planned to order some oily dishes later downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then pour the oil over the bloodstains to obscure them, covering them with dust and carpets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ceiling would be handled similarly, though on the bed he would have to pay a bit more for cleaning and tell the owner he accidentally cut his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You followed our plan, right, Alia? Good. Any abnormalities downstairs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While moving the furniture, Lann asked Alia if they had attracted any attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the young girl came from a high noble lineage, she wasn’t the least bit finicky when it came to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swept quickly with the broom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough! No, nothing at all. Just like you said, it was just an ordinary day at the Silver Swan Tavern. Nobody knew that a Demon Hunter was performing mysterious alchemy upstairs on this seemingly normal day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mundane inconspicuousness serves as better cover than isolation... as long as no traces are left behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann reinforced his opinion to the girl once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In preparing to implant the genetic seed, the magic potions were the element into which he invested the most effort and left the most traces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even at Airetusa, Lann appeared to be preparing it for future combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the inn room had been completely restored to its original state, except for a lingering heavy scent of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bloodstains and scent on the bedding could be explained away with Lann’s bloody hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the Demon Hunter and the girl relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone at the inn behaved normally? Including that team of Skellige guards?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the name of caution, Lann asked the girl for confirmation once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alia nodded naturally at the first half of the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone behaved very normally. That bartender who was great at storytelling even offered me a buttered and caramel-beer. With the meal he served, I was completely stuffed. But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Lann nodded absent-mindedly, but in the next moment, the girl’s words caused his amber cat-like eyes to suddenly shrink to a slit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Skellige what? This is just a tavern. How could there be guards? At most, punks or hooligans?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are you talking about...?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No... guards?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann couldn’t extricate himself from the sudden flurry of thoughts before a melodious and mysterious whistling sound echoed from the hallway outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>",1394,"2026-06-06T10:40:07.941Z",1,"novelbin.me","b36f366cbc4b627a42b3629fe76a37863b330c0b73f3cb6e28061c14b8be25a8","bear-school-astartes-chapter-26","bear-school-astartes-chapter-25",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
