As I stood in my room, contemplating the assessment the system had provided, I couldn't help but feel the weight of responsibility. According to the system, in the lower plane, appearance, charm, and intellect of a female partner should ideally be around 8, while talent and bloodline rarely exceeded 10. The realization that my bloodline was considered the purest in ages had initially filled me with pride, but now it seemed like a double-edged sword. If there were such strict criteria for potential partners in the lower plane, finding someone with a high score in all areas would be a daunting task.
Feeling overwhelmed, I decided to put aside my worries for the night and get some rest. After all, I had just transmigrated into this world, and there were still many things to learn and explore. I lay down on my bed, hoping that sleep would bring some clarity and ease the burden on my mind.
The next morning, the sunlight gently graced my face, waking me from my slumber. I slowly opened my eyes and found myself in a state of tranquility for a brief moment. But as my mind cleared, the memory of the system's assessment returned, and with it, a sense of urgency. I needed to find a suitable partner soon, as my bloodline's purity and strength depended on it.
After freshening up, I made my way to the concentration room for meditation. However, there seemed to be no improvement in my focus or abilities. I was puzzled and asked the system if it had anything to do with my inability to concentrate. The system's response left me stunned. As I was bound by the bloodline system, my strength would only increase after I spread my bloodline. The more pure and potent my bloodline became, the stronger I would be. It was an unexpected revelation that gave me mixed feelings.
On one hand, I realized that I had a unique advantage as my bloodline grew stronger with each generation. But on the other hand, I also understood that if I didn't get married soon, I would be stuck at tier 3 , and my proud declaration of reaching tier 5 and searching for the trial ground might be delayed.
I couldn't let that happen. I had to find a suitable mate, someone with exceptional talent and a high bloodline score. But where could I find such a person? The nobility had their own complicated political agendas, and I wasn't keen on marrying someone who would cause trouble. That left me with a brilliant idea – the mage and warrior academies!
My brother Luke had already mentioned that he was going to the Academy, so I decided to tag along. As we made our way there, I noticed that the atmosphere was lively, brimming with the excitement of graduation day. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to find a potential partner among the talented students.
Upon arriving at the Academy, my brother went to meet his teachers while I inquired about the ongoing competition. To my surprise, it was the final year for the graduating students, and they were participating in a high-level competition to showcase their skills. The teacher informed me that after five years of studying at the Academy, these students were about to prove themselves in the arena.
I couldn't have asked for a better chance to assess their talent and bloodline scores. I requested the teacher's assistance to secure a VIP seat in the arena, where I could watch the competition and gauge the potential partners. It was a rare opportunity, and I didn't want to miss it.
As I settled into the VIP seat, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nerves. This was a crucial moment in my quest to find a suitable partner, and I was determined to make the most of it.
The competition commenced, and with each match, I observed the students' skills and abilities. The tension in the air was palpable, and the energy of the crowd added to the excitement. I carefully assessed each candidate based on the system's criteria – appearance, charm, intellect, talent, and bloodline.
The matches were intense, and I couldn't help but be impressed by the talent on display. Some students demonstrated remarkable skills in both mage and warrior paths, a quality I deeply admired. It was clear that these were the kind of individuals I wanted to be associated with – strong, ambitious, and passionate about honing their abilities.
As the final matches drew near, I narrowed down my choices, mentally scoring each student based on the system's classification. This wasn't an easy task, as each candidate brought something unique to the table. I found myself captivated by the dedication and determination exhibited by these young graduates.
Finally, the last match concluded, and the ranking of the top ten students was about to be announced. The moment of truth had arrived, and I eagerly awaited the results, hoping to find the perfect partner among these outstanding individuals.
As the names were called out one by one, I kept a keen eye on the scores, searching for someone with a high bloodline and exceptional talent. The tension in my chest grew with each announcement, until finally, the last name was announced, and I saw her – the one with the highest score, the perfect candidate to become my partner.
