《Potestera- Race for Power》Ch15 Of Beasts, Nerds, and Heroes
Advertisement
Alright I think I'm ready to finish reading this thing. Mr. Recondos said this thing was expensive, I think I'm starting to see why. It has a bunch of stuff I had never even heard of and I'm definitely getting a better sense of what I need to do.
Creature Heart- Beast Taming, Hunting, and Breeding Club: Organization dedicated to all things Beast, creature, and monster related. Holds high prestige and popularity in Volunterra and including all of Potestera.
- Houses the biggest beast taming project in all of Volunterra, taming all sorts of wildlife from fierce wild animals, rare creatures, special magical beasts, spiritual beasts and beings, dark and nefarious creatures, monsters and titan monsters, mutated Animals and beasts, to aquatic creatures, flying magnificent birds and animals, as well as mythical and legendary lifeforms including the mighty dragon and their kin.
- In matters related to beast partners, pets, support, or familiars, it is definitely amongst the top 3 in all of Potestera only falling short in matters related to spirit and magic beings familiars and contracting.
- The Creature Heart beasts and monster hunting guild is of the highest quality. With a renowned and famous reputation. They've developed specialized equipment and strategies in regards to beast combat making their hunters especially formidable.
- Perhaps Creature Hearts most impressive accomplishment is their history of amazing breeding feats and techniques, creating and improving upon many formidable beasts making them even more fearsome and awe inspiring. Creatures with amazing and unique abilities have become the organizations exclusive star attractions. Many aspiring Rankers come here to acquire a unique and powerful partner.
- They also sell, craft and refine rare and precious beast parts and materials. Many a powerful weapon have been created from their creatures.
- They've embarked on a mysterious project with the VCS for a while now.
What an awesome sounding club. I would definitely love a powerful pet, I always taught about that possibility but apart from my terrible magic aptitude I'm also horrible with animals. All the village dogs hate me. Maybe it's only here though, it sounds like this place does the taming and breeding for you.
My interest is piqued, amazing I never knew there could be so many options in pets, they even have freaking DRAGONS!
Damn no wonder nobody has invaded us. Maybe I should visit this place first before the Dojo, I don't think a pet would be that expensive. I'll decide once I start packing but this is definitely near the top of my options.

The paper seems to have a lot of information on this club, compared to some of the other ones on here. I guess some organizations are more secretive than others. That's something I'll have to take note of.
Volunterra Honorable Scientific Academy: Volunterras largest academic institution. Pursues Science in benefit of humanity.
- Although the institutions in the Scientific mecca of Scienimo mock and ridicule this academy, the Academy's knowledge and application and innovation of pro human technology greatly surpasses Scienimo which has abandoned the human state of mind and strives to achieve the perfect scientific life-form with no regards to morals.
- Their the backbone of Volunterras Knowledge, Technological, and data and information fields. In the pursuit to achieve the highest scientific heights without abandoning their humanity they've invented many new unique and innovative technologies.
- They have also not abandoned the humanities,world studies, literature, psychology, and philosophy etc. Achieving surprising and useful breakthroughs in the human condition further strengthening the human Will.
Why does it seem like everyone mocks and ridicules us.
Can't they just let us do our thing. These other countries sound like a bunch of pricks. Still if I really am to become a Ranker I'm probably going to have to visit them someday, sounds annoying.
Other than that as far as this academy goes just seems like a bunch of nerds doing nerd stuff. Definitely not my strong point. I mean not like I have a strong point.
Mind, Heart, and Will Foundation: Volunterras core spiritual organization that continues to teach and pursue the ideals of their country's founder.
- They pursue the strengthening of the will just like the Unyielding Martial Will Dojo, but pursue an alternative insight and mental enlightenment path as opposed to their Martial Approach.
- Regardless many powerful entities have emerged from here as although Potesteras Ranker system is not their goal their members lifelong pursuit to strengthen the will and ascend have put them on the map.
- The road to strengthen the will through the mind and soul has led to the development of powerful soul art techniques and mental cultivation records that rival those of Cultivators. Exp. Morphing soul arts, Harmonizing soul arts, soul tempering arts, soul conjuring arts, mental conjuring arts, mental strengthening arts, will eternal insight, mind,heart, soul unity path etc.
Mmm sounds too much like a religious cult. Don't get me wrong I'm all down for the country's philosophy but I don't think humanity is the end all be all.

My parents always taught me about humility but to be honest with how I was born humility was my only option. I'm not really sure where I stand as far as my spirituality and religious beliefs go.
My father really believed that above it all even above the many powerful beings there was one force that created us all, and that we should strive to be the best version of ourselves.
I also believed that too, but my inner self also wanted more, maybe to one day even meet that Creator. I don't know, I don't think being humble means being stepped on and forgotten. I'll follow my instincts and beliefs towards the end. I'll definitely become a better version of myself.
Shatterrock Assassin Group: Secretive Black Ops group of Volunterra. Infamous for their ruthlessness. They will not stop until they succeed.
- Utilize variety of covert, stealthy, and quick assassination, infiltration, and compromising techniques, weapons, and tactics.
- Well known for their one shot killing arts and weakness researching methods.
Nope, nope, nope, and a big fat Nope!!! I want nothing to do with these guys. What kind of self respecting warrior becomes an assassin. I mean I know their necessary but they just sound like all the bad qualities a person could have dedicated for the sole intent of killing. I'm a straight forward guy none of that sneaky stuff for me.
Volunterra Adventurers Guild: Largest and most popular adventurers guild in Potestera, with over 2 million members.
- Possesses a similar ranking system to Potesteras Power Ranker Charts dictated by quality and quantity of missions accomplished.
- Accepts all combat classes of all levels even unranked, good way to start off and achieve a Ranking and reputation.
- Offers a variety of benefits including party formation, quest rewards and salaries, emergency assistance, and equipment market etc.
The Adventurers guild now that I'm reading more about it, I suddenly appreciate them a lot more.
I always heard it was an organization for bums and didn't have a good opinion of them. But I guess public opinion isn't always right, they seem to be a pretty respectable organization generous at that. At least a lot more than that stupid defense force they actually offer a lot more benefits and help.
It seems it's tailored to giving the average joe a shot at becoming a Ranker. Maybe that's also to their detriment, it doesn't say it here but I heard they don't have much pull in our government, probably cause their not strong enough. They probably only have the power they have because of their numbers.
What really gets me is their loose acceptance requirements and the fact that they offer you a salary. I'll probably visit this place after I'm done with my martial arts training.
Powerful Humans League: Association of humans who possess unique,abnormal, and powerful; traits, abilities, mutations, skills and superpowers.
- Powerhouse in Volunterra and Potesterra, but extremely loyal to Humankind unlike the Neohumans.
- Hold great political power and its main purpose is to compete as Rankers and protect the state.
- Their ranks consist of powerful S class beings such as The Amazing Skin, Parasitic Boost, Eloquence, Imposing Staff, and the pride of humanity the superhuman Unwilling which are the Bastions of the League.
- To join one must possess supremely unnatural skills, rare and awesome traits, useful and augmenting mutations, heaven defying innate abilities, or mighty superpowers.
The PHL of course I've heard of them everyone loves them.
They were also my heroes growing up probably just like every kid in Volunterra. All they do is save and protect people and fight off dangerous foreign Rankers. Their the pride and joy of our country. To bad most of them operate too far from my village, I've never gotten to meet one in person.
Man imagine if I ever got to meet Unwilling ,now that's a crazy powerful being! I saw some of his deeds in town center and every time they left me speechless. I can't believe the guy is human. I even heard rumors that some of the government members were even advocating for a way to spread Unwilling's genes through Volunterras populace.
I heard many people vehemently opposed the initiative including unwilling himself.
I guess that name isn't for nothing.
I mean in my opinion it isn't such a bad idea, at least it'll prevent future situations of unfortunate bloke like me from being born to struggle and strengthens our nation as well everyone wins. But what do I know.
Okay that's the end of the paper. Man that was longer than I thought, but Mr. Recondos was right now I have a much clearer vision of the path I need to take. First and foremost time to get a snack.
