The Battle Queen They Blindly Kicked Out (Joanna) novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490 Professor Lane

Finished

“Distinguished Doctoral Graduate of the Divine and Demonic Academy (Mythic-tier): Equipping this title grants an additional +30 levels and +300,000 to all attributes.

‘Note 1: Social standing increases accordingly. The value of this title becomes apparent upon entering the Space Alliance workforce. There is only one institution in the entire Space Alliance whose graduates receive a Mythic-tier title upon completion.

‘Note 2: The doctoral degree you have earned represents the absolute ceiling of academic achievement in he Space Alliance. There is no higher qualification to pursue.”

Titles couldn’t be stacked, so Joanna would naturally keep wearing God Devourer.

21 million across all attributes wasn’t something she was putting in a drawer. The doctoral title did stack an additional 30 levels, which put it on par with Dimension Lord, but professionals who’d participated in Godwars almost universally wore God Devourer. The math wasn’t close.

Joanna, now that you’ve officially completed your doctorate, and given that you’ve already served as an honorary lecturer with strong student response, would you consider formalizing the arrangement?

We have a graduate advisor position available, a research track focused on dungeon studies. The associate professor seat in the Summoner department is also open. And there’s one skill course that we genuinely can’t run without you.”

Saul wanted to keep her. The thought of Joanna mentoring graduate students and the caliber of talent that would eventually produce for the Academy was difficult to set aside.

oanna was curious. “A skills course? Is the Academy trying to get its hands on my Holy Spirit Body?”

A law-tier soul ability that none of the current 126 Mythic-tier professionals possessed. It would make a egitimate course offering.

Wrong. It’s a law-tier Charm.”

Joanna blinked, then broke into a genuine smile.

It made complete sense. Over the past two years, Summoner had become the most sought-after class in the entire Space Alliance, driven almost entirely by her example.

Summoners contracting SSS-rank talent sentinels had become commonplace, one person running three or four sentinels through dungeons simultaneously and clearing everything in their path.

Charm had followed the same trajectory. The talent used to be associated almost exclusively with entertainers and public figures, and it carried a reputation for being superficial at best.

Now there were Summoners spending credits to unlock extra talent slots specifically to acquire it

The Joanna effect in full force.

She agreed. Saul’s smile took over his entire face.

Chapter 490 Professor Lane

“Then welcome to the faculty, Professor Lane.”

The contract with the Divine and Demonic Academy was signed. The system posted the associated notifications immediately.

“System Alert: You have accepted a social mission issued by the Divine and Demonic Academy: Graduate Advisor and Skills Course Instructor.

“Rank: Associate Professor.

Mission Reward: 200,000 points per semester, plus 10″ EXP at your current level.”

“System Alert: Based on your current strength and track record, additional social missions are available for your consideration.

Support the Decennial Battlefield (Recommended)

Expand the Divine Battlefield (Recommended)

Take on additional Dimension Lord responsibilities (Recommended)

Assist the Space Alliance with indigenous and refugee relief operations (Public Interest Mission) (Recommended)”

Everything was recommended. All of it.

Joanna thought back to a post she’d seen while browsing on Chromatic Star during high school, some Grade 12 graduate sharing a breakdown in the forums.

The person had posted the full list of social missions the system had handed them after they entered the workforce.

“Night vision talent, assassin class, had fully expected to become a Lord of Shadows. Made it to Level 7 by graduation. Ended up in sanitation. Family, I’m losing it.

“Here’s what the system gave me.

Clear mutant maggots from the public restroom on Azuredrake Avenue, North District. (Recommended your current strength is well-suited for this task.)

Clear sewer rats from Flourish Street, West District. (Not recommended: your current strength may be insufficient, moderate risk.)

Clear mutant cockroaches from the South District landfill. (Not recommended: your current strength may be insufficient, moderate risk.)

I can’t even beat rats and cockroaches. The only thing I can handle is toilet maggots. I’m done.”

Joanna looked back at her own list.
