Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 240

After getting along with Rocky for some time, Isis didn't object to her father cultivating Rocky. Aside from his weird and annoying temperament, Rocky's comprehensive capability was undisputed. Marin once told Isis that though he looked weak, Rocky was a spirit manipulator at the second grade of the Earthly Stage. Besides, his performance at the Army Flag Contest had proved that undoubtedly he was a real talent.

However, Isis found her father's plans to promote Rocky to the probationary adjutant general at the Headquarters of the General Staff worrying. He was barely a breeder. Such a skip-level promotion was unheard of at the Crimson Dragon Group, more so to Isis. Left to her, Rocky would first undergo trials as an adjutant at the northeast military camp where he would have to rise through the ranks to the position of a staff officer should his performance meet expectations. Next, she would arrange an assignment in which Rocky would play the role of civil official in the Headquarters of the General Staff. And finally, when the time was ripe for another appointment, only then could he get the promotion of the probationary adjutant general. By Isis's theory, rather than accomplish everything in one swoop, Rocky should have to spend at least three to five years being a probationary adjutant general in the Headquarters of the General Staff. And if by any chance he anticipated an even higher position, all the more time it would take him to realize it.

However, for Lance, Isis's father, he would rather Rocky skip the arduous journey and attain the position of the probationary adjutant general in the Headquarters of the General Staff in record time. For his daughter, Lance's decision was nothing but dicey and inane, and hugely differing from his rigorous methods of conducting military affairs. Isis couldn't fathom why her father had reversed his previous stand to treat Rocky so well.

As was expected, Lance had some reservations of his own at first. He knew Rocky was a rare talent as much as he was a wild horse that defied taming. However, his sudden conviction of what a man like himself could accomplish with Rocky was getting the best of him. If Rocky were a man that allowed himself to be swept off by the rich and powerful, carried along by every strong power, regardless of his excellent natural endowments, he would find himself bound to a low rank beneath them where his talents would be buried. In all, Lance had his sentiments that should Rocky receive proper training; he would surely have a great future. With faith so blinding, so stubborn, Lance believed Rocky would not disappoint.

More than even his faith in the young man, the underlying reason behind Lance's resolute stance could be traced to Rocky's confidential identity. Although he hadn't quite figured out Rocky's real identity, having witnessed the talent and ability of the lad spurred Lance to begin looking into the history books to find out why Rocky had been exiled to the Gehenna Border. Consequently, Lance had preferred to keep Rocky close until he had everything figured out. One didn't just choose to go on exile. In the end, he would know whether or not Rocky deserved his cultivation.
