Two months prior, after being rejected for the reward she she deserved, Shinta sulked for days.

"Huh! He chose that idiot Kingrig over his own daughter!! As if I am dying for his personal coaching! he wishes!! ...Back in Ouroboros, a dozen masters begged me to be their student! Huh! So annoying!"

Unable to calm herself, Shinta decided to channel her rage into combat, targeting her fellow acolytes at Hall 7. She constantly sought reasons to challenge them, forcing them to bet their contribution points. Her relentless pursuit of fights led her to accumulate an impressive number of contribution points, allowing her to spend more time in the Origin Room, solidifying her foundation.

Two weeks after this spree, Shinta finally achieved a breakthrough to Rank 9 and began forming her first pillars. By this time, however, none of the 30 left-wing acolytes dared to challenge her anymore. Her reputation had grown, and fear had taken root among her peers.

"You are ranked 21st now. You should challenge the west-wing acolytes next," her instructor suggested. However, Shinta always found some excuse to reject such ideas.

It wasn't that she was afraid—she was indeed tempted by the larger weekly contribution points that came with being in the top 20. But Shinta knew that achieving such a rank would restrict her movements within the academy. The instructors would inevitably involve her in multiple special teamwork training sessions to prepare for the team exam, which she found both tedious and time-consuming.

"Huh, I'm not that stupid," she muttered to herself as she weighed the pros and cons.

Despite her bravado, Shinta knew she needed more contribution points to advance her training. There were the academy missions available to a Rank 9 acolyte. However, they were either too boring or required too much time. She didn't have the patience for mundane tasks.

During these few weeks, strangely, Shinta's attachments with Kehinde and the seven wolf acolytes grew deeper. Observing their camaraderie, Shinta saw an opportunity to get more contribution points.

"I will help you get stronger and gain ranks, but you will pay me with your contribution points!" she proposed.

Initially, they doubted her abilities. They knew Shinta was talented, but could she really help them improve? Shinta quickly proved herself. She provided deep insights into the other acolytes' strengths and weaknesses, allowing the wolves to strategize their duels more effectively. Her observations were precise, her tactics shrewd.

But her true ace in the hole was her Uncle Bob, who had recently opened his gene shop in Utopia City. Shinta had visited him before for her gene check-ups, and she knew he could be the key to unlocking the wolves' potential. Manipulating her uncle's desire to help her, she convinced him to assist the group of wolves.

Master Bob, with his expansive research in wolf genes, agreed to help, and within days, the wolf acolytes began to show real improvements. They were stronger, faster, and more resilient, thanks to the specialized gene treatments Bob provided. At the same time, these eight wolf acolytes slowly became Shinta's little pack, doing her bidding and helping her gain more contribution points.
