Chapter 231 The Epic Breakthrough
Zoey felt a rush of joy and quickly activated her talent, gently calming the massive bull.
“What tier is the contract beast?” Beatrice asked.
She saw how gentle the bull had become and finally relaxed.
Zoey opened the system panel and gasped. She projected the data for everyone to see.
“It’s epic-tier p>
“Contracted Companion: Hanover
“Race: Earthshaker Bull
“Rarity: Epic Tier
“Level: 0
“Attributes: Vitality 50, Strength 50, Agility 50, Spirit 50
“Talent: Mountainbreaker Dominion
“Skills: Savage Bull Charge, Uproot Mountains, Earthquake Slam”
Normally, a Summoner would keep their contracted companion’s stats secret. Even Joanna never revealed Nighthowl’s status panel.
But Zoey was an experimental subject. Every detail had to be recorded.
She was only a B-rank Affinity Talent and had just switched classes to Summoner, yet she immediately contracted an Epic-tier companion.
Even though this companion couldn’t take a human form yet, its raw power was far beyond what Beatrice had expected.
Beatrice’s eyes
lit
up as she recorded everything.
These results were extremely valuable to the lab.
Joanna was pleased as well.
“Next, you
need to reach Level 10. Then we’ll test whether Hanover can transform into human form. And don’t forget to feed him. Normal food is fine, about what people eat. Let him experience a normal life p>

Many Summoners never fed their contracted companions, and some even dismissed them because they ate too much.
At first, Nighthowl didn’t eat either. His Stellar Constitution allowed him to absorb energy directly.
Still, he clearly loved good food.
Otherwise, how could he have become such a professional chef?
Food provided energy and emotional comfort.
“Don’t worry,” Zoey said. “I’ve hired a professional team. We’ll start combat runs soon to level up p>
“Good. Stay in touch,” Beatrice replied.
She had already added Zoey as a contact.
After that, Joanna escorted Beatrice back to the academy, then returned to Chromatic Star herself.
Since she was already there, she decided to visit Maverick.
She didn’t expect that he had already been promoted in just one month.
Maverick was now the Head Director of the Education Department at Chromatic Star.
As for the former director, Hugo, rumors said he had been reassigned to a newly developed plane as Minister of Education.
That might sound like a promotion, but everyone knew the truth. A new plane had almost no population. Some didn’t even have enough people to fill a few schools. In reality, it was a quiet demotion.
Hugo had trained students like Ivan and Katherine who were being enrolled into the academy; he shouldn’t have been targeted.
Unfortunately, Joanna was simply too outstanding-she had become the academy’s top student. There was a clear difference between a top student and an ordinary trainee.
As her guardian, Maverick received major credit. Someone also reported Hugo’s actions-how he suppressed Joanna and gave a guaranteed admission slot to Ivan.
Hugo was officially warned, and Maverick replaced him as the new head director.

By then, Maverick’s level had reached Level 20.
Finished
In the Space Alliance System, levels came from both monster hunts and job performance.
Normally, a head director had to be level 80.
But Maverick was only Level 60. How did he qualify?
The answer was simple. He gained a new title.
“Plane Star Head Director (Epic-tier Title): When equipped, professionals below Level 80 are temporarily raised to Level 80 and receive all Level 80 attribute rewards.
So leveling up didn’t only come from fighting monsters and clearing dungeons.
Promotion worked too.
Those whose combat power had reached its limit could enhance their strength by joining the Space Alliance.
After his promotion, Maverick didn’t move to Redlight City. He stayed in Violetlight City.
“As an educator,” he said, “the weaker regions need more support. Besides, all major cities report to me anyway. As long as things stay fair, it works p>
When Joanna arrived, he welcomed her warmly.
ongratulations, Mr. Lopez,” Joanna said.
“Thanks to you,” Maverick replied with a smile. “How are things at the academy? Settling in p>
“Pretty well p>
After some polite conversation, Joanna explained her real purpose p>
“I want to recruit new Summoners and run an experiment. I wanted to discuss it with you p>
She explained the plan. Maverick made a decision almost immediately.
“If you’re taking an elite route with one-on-one support, the Education Department can offer partial student loans and material discounts p>
“That would be perfect,” Joanna said.
The lab would provide the technology. Participants would use loans. Joanna would collect the data.

For now, the project barely cost any money.
And if they found non-student workers like Zoey? They might even make a small profit.
