Terra Academy, the institution that develops students, mainly the Evolved ones, to excel in their respective fields of interest and ability. And also by keeping the main emphasis on the growth of Exemplary Fighters among them. Here the competition is tough, pressured, and cut-throat but… surprisingly rather than Professors or Instructors, this competition and intensity are sustained by students themselves.
Once admitted, the students had to go through four years to pass from this academy, but in the end, based on their performance throughout their tenure the students are allotted a level of grades to them for defining their future. Most of the outstanding and strong students are directly picked by the military or other private corporations spanning throughout the galaxy where Evolved Fighters are always welcomed as privileged ones.
Though not all of them go through these criteria, some also decide to leave Earth to wander for opportunities in the whole Solar Federation. While the non-combat ones also have bright prospects ahead of them.
The Terra Academy follows the system of merit everywhere, which means if you are privileged or strong enough to gain privilege, you can finish the four years here almost effortlessly. Further, being at the top attracts numerous challenges that one had to confront to retain his privileges.
Here in the City, Students from the first generation(freshers) to the second, third, and fourth generation live their lives completely cut off from the rest of the world. Here, along with training and study… youth lives on too.

"What is it, Lei? I heard you are keeping tabs on first-gen students,… Ohhh! Don't tell me you have eyes upon young ones?"
Cool Water splashed loudly as the girl in a blue swimsuit raised a question while she settled herself in a reclining posture along the poolside. She moaned in contentment as she sprawled her attractive body half-submerged in the water while sloping on the pool edge. Pulling away a few strands of wet black hair from her face, she looked towards her prodigy friend for an answer.
At her cue in the middle of the pool, a girl emerged from the water like a lithe fish. With radiant auburn hair, she caressed away water from her head to regain breathing after the dive. Hearing her question, She rolled her pristine black pupils as she chided Avery.
"Hell no! I am not that weird pervert who hunts for juniors right after admissions. At least not like…..ahh, leave it."
She swam to the shore of the pool towards her grinning friend, who watched her with drowsy eyes as she stepped out of the water with water slipping away over her gorgeous figure. Her body was perfect and captivating not only in an aesthetic sense but also considering her peak athletic performance.
Her white bikini bow top was sticking close to her body being soaked, showing more than what it covered giving sensual vibes. Too bad none of her enthusiastic classmates were here to witness her wet hot look except her closest friend. It wasn't only due to her strength she was hailed as number one in the second generation…..her killer looks were a critical factor too.
Avery, who was wearing a blue alluring bikini, smiled as she made a little room to let her friend sit close to her.
"No, really…what is it about? Did someone offend you?"
Lei sat down and then took a full stretch by extending her arms, showing off her seductive body while relaxing herself as she answered in a little interested tone,
"Well, technically It's about a VR match in Old Earth. Someone drew the fight match with me, that too in my chosen arena."
"NO WAY!"
Avery gasped as she rose up and clasped her hands around her milky shoulders. As inquisitive she was, her wonder was apparent in her eyes as she literally shook Lei to compel her to tell her whole story.
Knowing her novel nature, Lei gave up pretty quickly as she narrated the whole fight without any filter. She didn't even withhold her comment that if the man had used his ability she would have been killed quickly.
"....thus, in my eyes, it wasn't a win but a draw as I died simultaneously too.
Moreover, he never logged in after that or replied to my messages asking him for a rematch. Therefore, He might be from the First gen."
Avery pounced suddenly as she got on top of her friend and pushed her down. Astonished, Lei couldn't react in time as she found herself pinned down on a cool floor by Avery, who had an intense hunger for gossip buzzing in her eyes. The sight of two exceptional beauties in such…close pos… was near divine.
"Tell me!...tell me! Why do you think it may be a fresh student? It could very well be some senior or some other expert trainee with a new account?"
Lei, uncomfortable but not completely unfamiliar with the antics of her friend, answered truthfully,
"Well…for the first, I know every senior who plays 'Old Earth'. The playstyle of this man was too different from the regular ones. And second, even if it was some trainee or super senior playing this game for the first time or with a new account…..he shouldn't be oblivious to my name.
I..I may not be a top expert but in our local VR Server, I am quite known among circles. But this man clearly had no idea about my ability or style of fighting. He was fighting as he was still getting used to the game.
Therefore, it appears that..."
".....that he must be either a new student who had just enrolled or some ignorant senior who was just trying VR for the first time. But because seniors have no free time for games, the first one looks more promising. Right!?"
Lei nodded as she pushed Avery away from the top of her. Seeing the well-developed and curved figure of her friend close up on her was making her feel envious. Avery who was just pushed back to her original seat, sizzled in the excitement,
"Wooooo..hhhhooo!....looks like we already have an exceptional expert as our junior. " watching Lei begin to stand up and leave, she playfully slapped her butt.
"Don't worry, leave it to me. There are several geniuses and prodigies who have admitted this time and there is a very high chance your mystery opponent could possibly be one of them.
I will help you!"
With sharp instinct and speed, Lei blocked her hand before she could slap her, appearing as if she had eyes even on the back of her head. Actually, it was pretty simple. She had just gotten used to Avery's habits. Thus, she could anticipate her actions very well.
She turned around and smiled,
"I would be very grateful if you don't blow the horn all over the Academy."
Avery waved her hand like it was completely unthinkable,
"No, no , no…I will look for him in complete secret. By the way, what did you tell me… about his username…owl something?"
"It was 'SpinningOwl' - Another factor, I think it wasn't someone from our Academy. As I can't possibly link this name to any of our strong(famous) seniors."
