Mira''s POV, right after the war started.
"We will be arriving at the Telorn system in approximately 2 hours, all Students need to make sure that their belongings are packed, and that you yourselves are prepared for battle."
A loud and obnoxious voice red over the speakers on the transport ship Mira was assigned to.
''Ugh, not that annoying voice again.''
It had been 6 days since Mira''s ship departed for the front lines in Telorn system.
And that voice that had red over the speakers just now was the same one that woke her up for morning roll call at 6 am every day.
It was the voice of Jeane, the Lieutenant in charge of Mira''s batch of students.
They were all drafted to the war efforts, so the federation had taken the liberty to assign an officer to help each and every draftee get used to the military life during their 6 day journey.
However, this n had backfired for the ships carrying the students from the top universities, as some of the students themselves were stronger than the officers assigned to them.
The power imbnce and the hormones involved with youth meant that there were many conflicts between the two parties, in particr on Mira''s ship, as she was unfortunately ced on the same ship, on the same assignment as Zack Harborn, the second ranked student on the overall rankings of Capital Prime university.
He was a C+ rank, nearly Variant ss student in his third year.
His strength was already near that of a B rank Mutant ss though, which was an incredible feat.
The jump from C tier to B tier was humongous, as that was also what separated awakened from being lower and higher life forms.
Bing a higher life form wasn''t just a fancy title one obtained when they reached B tier.
It came with all sorts of benefits that many awakened would die to obtain.
Such as a drastically increased life span.
The human race had only been in their awakened era for 100 years, so they didn''t really have a good grasp on just how much longer awakened livedpared to normal people.
That was the case at least, until the data obtained by the Pioneer expedition group had been analysed, which included the Red Demon''s details on the awakened.
The Red Demons had contact with many, many races in the universe, some who they would not even dare to attack due to the sheer disparity in strength between the two races.
Others they couldn''t even touch or converse with as the gap between them was so far apart.
But other than these mind blowing pieces of information, the federation, in particr the higher life forms were interested in one thing.
The average lifespan of each rank of awakened.
And this is what they found out:
F tier awakened lived twice as long as a normal person, so around 200 years.
E tier is 400 years.
D tier is 800 years.
C tier is 1600 years.
It is fairly obvious that up until C tier, the jump in lifespan increased by double between each tier.
But B tier is where it starts to get really interesting.
B tier is 10,000 years.
A tier is 20,000 years.
S tier is unknown, due to there being insufficient data on the subject that not even the Red Demons were privy to.
But that just made the awakened''s desire to be a higher life form even stronger.
Who wouldn''t want to live for 10,000 years after all?
But a longer life span wasn''t the only benefit of being a higher life form.
Other abilities, such as flight, the ability to survive out in the void of space infinitely, without the need for something like a spacesuit.
Oh, and the fact that one''s strength bes so incalcble, that instead of being measured in terms of scale inparison to cities, B tier and above is measured in terms of continental or evenary strength at a certain point.
For example, an Ordinary ss B- ranked awakened, the lowest and weakest a higher life form could be, would be able to smash apart a city in one sweep of their hand.
Or, if they used their full force, they could obliterate an entire small country, the size of something like Japan of the old Earth age.
The scale increases even further when higher ssifications are taken into ount.
Mutant ss B- ranked awakened would be able to obliterate arge country, the size of something like India of the old Earth age.
Variant B- ranked would be able to obliterate an entire continent.
As for King ss, or even higher than that?
There are no recorded cases of any awakened reaching anything above Variant ss at B tier.
So the scale was impossible to calcte.
The disparity in strength goes even higher when considering A and S tiers.
It is impossible for an awakened to reach A tier at Ordinary rank, so that was out of consideration.
But Mutant ss A tiers could obliterate small heavenly bodies, the size of the Moon or Pluto.
Variant ss A tiers could obliterate something the size of Earth entirely.
Once again though, there were no recorded King ss or higher A tiers, so that wasn''t recorded.
At S tier though, it was unknown just how far their strength went.
But it was rumoured that Principal Farnes had once destroyed a star!
A whole sun!
The scale and strength to achieve such a thing was nearly unimaginable, which was why it was still only a rumour.
Principal Farnes himself coulde out and verify if it were true or not, but he decided to stay silent on the subject.
Something about keeping his strength hidden in case of any unruly enemies or something like that.
As for the mysterious man ranked in first, who was also likely the leader of the Alliance fleet?
Who knows how far his strength went, but he could probably destroy arge star if he wanted to.
This was all information that Mira had also learned during her 6 day journey to the Telorn system, which just blew her away.
The fact that people, not huge constructs or machines the result of thousands of years of innovation, could achieve this level of destruction, was mind boggling.
It only made her more amped up for her arrival on the battlefield.
She couldn''t wait to rank up to C tier, and even B tier in the future!
Instead of listening to such stories of strength, she would one day be telling stories of her own!
