The Battle Queen They Blindly Kicked Out (Joanna) novel Chapter 489

Chapter 489 Fastest Graduate

Joanna had no particular interest in whether Ennis came to regret his choice.

She had somewhere to be. She knocked on Saul’s office door.

“Professor. My final thesis.”

Finished

Inside, Saul’s expression shifted so dramatically that every line on his face seemed to rearrange itself.

“You already killed the God of Death on the Deadwhisper Continent?”

Morgan’s death hadn’t surprised him. Joanna was at the peak of her generation, widely recognized as the top prodigy in the entire Space Alliance. Killing a former student advisor was well within the expected range of outcomes for someone at her level.

But a god? That was something else entirely.

The other divine entities had all been occupied with their own affairs, which meant no outside assistance was coming.

Saul had assumed Joanna was still in the planning stage, quietly building toward something through the To Be Divine group chat, assembling Nightstar Group’s forces for a coordinated assault. She hadn’t said anything, so he’d concluded she wasn’t ready yet. She’d just gone ahead and done it without telling anyone.

Joanna nodded and walked him through the full account of the battle. The level of detail she provided was actually doctoral-grade material, the kind of thing that warranted a formal academic paper.

‘Last time we spoke, you suggested I develop a soul-type law ability. I spent a week on it. While I was at it, I contracted an ally at Level 80, picked up some additional base attributes, and found a counter to Mortis’s primary offense.”

Saul’s throat felt dry. He didn’t have words immediately available.

He’d thought they were having a theoretical conversation. She’d taken it as a task list.

Since when were law-tier abilities something a person could just acquire in a week?

“Joanna.” He steadied himself. “You are the most talented student I have ever taught. And the fastest to graduate from this institution. By a significant margin.”

He cleared his throat. “That said. If you’re planning to participate in any future Godwars, please let me know in advance.

“Killing gods comes with substantial rewards, and that includes system attribute bonuses funded directly from Space Alliance resources.

“If you’re worried about how to handle the distribution of spoils, draft a contract beforehand. People will agree to almost anything for a spot in a Godwar.

“And today, while you’re here, would you mind spending some time with the younger students? If nothing else, you’ll have a free labor pool later.”

And maybe invite your professor along, while you’re at it. I’d like to participate in a Godwar too.

The implication landed clearly. Joanna turned it over in her head and saw the full picture.

Solo-killing Mortis had been like publishing a research paper and listing only herself as author. Nobody else had gotten a credit.

Going forward, people would pay for the chance to be included in a Godwar. The infrastructure practically built itself: form a legion, ten thousand participants, a hundred thousand if she wanted, and every one of them would earn system-granted attribute points sourced from Space Alliance funds. It cost her nothing and benefited everyone involved. There was no reason not to.

“I understand. I’ll post open recruitment when I run the next one.”

“Good. And don’t forget your old professor when that happens. These old bones are still battlefield-ready.” Saul gave her a pointed look.

Joanna smiled. “I wouldn’t dream of it.”

The thesis review was straightforward from there. Academic submissions in the Space Alliance were less formal document and more structured record, no plagiarism checks required, closer to an official case file.

The candidate documented the Godwar in detail, described their methodology and outcome, and supported it with footage where available. For conflicts at divine scale where video capture wasn’t feasible. official Space Alliance system data served as verification. Kill confirmation alone was sufficient evidence.

Joanna’s submission had no issues. Saul approved it on the spot.

“Give me a moment. I need to write your graduation remarks.”

He considered his words for a moment, then began. This was the thing about veteran professionals like him. They never ascended to godhood, and there was always something tying them down. Even writing a student evaluation had to be done by his own hand. Though of course, it took a student like Joanna to make him put in the extra care.

The system notification arrived shortly after.

The physical diploma came through in the mail. The digital certificate and the Academy’s official announcement followed immediately after.

“Divine and Demonic Academy Notice:

Congratulations, Joanna Lane.
