Gorath Bloodfury, an imposing orc with jade-green skin marred by countless battle scars, sat at his desk, his tusks gleaming in the low light. His black hair was tied back in a warrior's knot, and his muscular frame exuded power and discipline. Gorath's eyes, deep-set and crimson, bore the weight of countless battles and victories. He looked every bit the seasoned cultivator, a Spirit Awakening cultivator with a strong affinity for body.
The orc grunted, accepting the system's headmaster mission. He would train races from a newly merged universe. His reward would be contribution points, he could by a countless number of things.
Gorath wanted two things specifically: a fruit or natural treasure to raise his efficiency stat reinforcing his foundation so he could advance, and tutorial dungeon tokens for his offspring, just as his father had done for him and his father before him. Tutorial dungeons were only guaranteed for those alive when a universe merged. Everyone else needed a tutorial dungeon token. The rules were strict: you could be at the top of the Peak Physique stage, but you couldn't enter the Core Gathering stage; otherwise, you couldn't run the dungeon.
The goal of his mission was to have his students pass normal or harder dungeons, easy dungeons actually would cost him a deduction in contribution points.
Additionally, he needed a certain percentage of his students to complete a dungeon, so he couldn't wantonly kill his students, but there was enough leeway to weed out those who wouldn't cut it. A good number would die in training.
Gorath examined the files before him, carefully weighing the merits of each candidate for master and assistant headmaster. The academy under his stewardship would soon host 10 million students, all of whom were still three years away from being able to tackle their tutorial dungeons due to their youth. Gorath believed the system's delay for the young from newly merged universes was less about age and more about nurturing potential, building a strong foundation, and culling
out the weak.
This would require a vast number of masters. Cultivators teaching at his school would have to accept a lesser version of the system mission he was assigned.
Teaching missions; would receive much leds contribution points but came with less risk., but still worth it. He had completed a teacher mission in the part
But if he failed his current headmaster mission, he would be punished severely by the system.
Gorath read continued to read the file
**Humans:**
- Broad and unpredictable, humans have the potential to adapt and excel in numerous areas. They are not restricted to any specific affinity, allowing them to develop a wide range of skills and abilities. Their unpredictability can be both an advantage and a challenge in training.
**Dark Elves:**
- Known for their exceptional skills in assassination and stealth, dark elves have a natural affinity for shadow, death, poison, and nature. They are typically tall and slender, with skin tones ranging from deep ebony to pale grey. Their agility and cunning make them formidable opponents. They excel in covert operations and are often regarded as the most lethal assassins in the multiverse.
**Ursox:**
- A unique hybrid race with bear-like features, the Ursox stand between 6 to 7 feet tall with powerful, muscular builds covered in thick fur. Their fur colors vary from black to brown to white. They are natural crafters, possessing strong claws and remarkable dexterity. Their affinities for body, earth, fire, and metal cultivation make them versatile and formidable. Their potential for hybrid cultivation techniques is vast, combining physical prowess with spiritual growth.
**Vorath:**
- The Vorath are a barbaric race with high birth rates and a propensity for conflict. Standing around 6 feet tall with muscular builds, their leathery, dark grey skin provides excellent camouflage. Their eyes, which glow faintly in the dark, reflect their predatory nature. They are strong, agile, and capable of surprising speed and precision. Their formidable physical features make them natural-born hunters and warriors, affinities in body and blood. From what Gorath read, the Vorath had almost received the same treatment as the goblins due to their violent tendencies and high birth rates.
Goblins were considered creatures by the system, extremely violent and breeding faster than rabbits. Despite their ability to reason, they were not treated as sentient beings but as fodder to train the multiverse. Goblin emperors were particularly annoying, but fighting them had been fun. Gorath reminisced for a moment, a rare smile crossing his face.
He'd chosen a three-year stint, so all of his students would be three years from their tutorial dungeon. The orc wondered if he'd get any herald-worthy candidates. His clan had been offered one as a benefit of him having the headmaster position.
Gorath leaned back in his chair, contemplating the challenges ahead. The school would be a crucible of pain, growth, and potential greatness. He would mold these diverse students into warriors, survivors, and possibly even legends.
---
The training grounds stretched vast and daunting before Gorath's eyes. He envisioned the humans, dark elves, Ursox, and Vorath converging here, each bringing their unique strengths and weaknesses. The thought of molding them into elite cultivators stirred something primal within him.
Goarsth thought sbout his assigned races:
Humans were always unpredictable. Their adaptability was both their greatest strength and a potential weakness. He would need to design a curriculum that identified and enhanced their individual strengths.
For the dark elves, their natural affinity for mental, shadow, poison, and nature required specialized training. Gorath's friend, a wood elf, was perfect for the task. Skilled in blending nature's power with stealth and precision, he would ensure the dark elves reached their full potential. The news of his friend's impending fatherhood was an added bonus; the promise of tutorial dungeon tokens would be a strong lure.
The Ursox presented a fascinating challenge. Their immense physical strength and crafting abilities would make them formidable warriors and invaluable allies. Gorath envisioned a dual training regime focusing on enhancing their body cultivation techniques while also nurturing their spiritual growth. The blend of earth, fire, and metal affinities would allow for innovative hybrid cultivation methods.
The Vorath, with their predatory instincts and tendency to be violent; were a wild card. Gorath saw potential in their raw power and agility. If disciplined properly, could become unparalleled hunters and warriors, capable of striking fear into the hearts of their enemies.
The orc had a vision for the school: a crucible where the weak would be tempered into the strong. He needed to find masters who shared his philosophy, those who understood that true growth came from pushing boundaries and facing death head-on.
Gorath's own journey as a Spirit Awakening cultivator had taught him that pain was a powerful teacher. His scars were not just marks of battle but symbols of his resilience and determination. He would instill this same ethos in his students. They would learn to embrace pain, to rise above it, and to become legends in their own right.
He picked up the file again, flipping through the profiles of potential assistant headmasters and masters. Each name and face represented a different strength, a different potential lesson for his students. He would build a team that reflected the diversity and potential of the student body, each master a piece of the larger puzzle.
As the sun set over the horizon, casting long shadows across the training grounds, Gorath made his decisions.
He would summon his old friend, the wood elf, as his assistant headmaster, he would oversee the dark elves and their teachers
For the humans, he chose a human master from a different universe known for his adaptive combat techniques, the man had so many affinities and sub affinities it was obnoxious; typically jack of all trades was price but due to the number of affinities he had, his strength was really good.
The Ursox masters would be guided by a seasoned blacksmith and warrior who understood the delicate balance between physical strength and spiritual growth. The Vorath training would be overseen by a fellow orc from his clan, he would instill discipline into them.
Gorath stood, feeling the weight of the coming years settle on his broad shoulders. The task ahead was daunting, but it was also exhilarating. He would forge these young beings into warriors, survivors, and perhaps even legends.
