bro may not have gone through puberty yet, but he has proven himself a man
"What about a Dragon? Can I have a Dragon?" Karl thought, trying to will one into existence in the taming space.

this version of ash should be burned to ashes...
But first he would have to find some sort of animal. This was a shiny new military train, not the company houses at the mines, there weren't going to be any mice. If he had to touch the animal for the skill to activate, this could be much more difficult than he had been expecting.

ah I see, he's going to be a "cute child protected by horrifying beasts" archetype, slightly less common relative to the "midget with an absolutely massive weapon" archetype
He was, unfortunately, not yet among the physically gifted, so Karl picked a short sword from among the weapons while he cursed being the last in his class to enjoy the full benefits of puberty.

good luck using proper edge alignment with that monstrosity...
That sounded more likely, so Karl knelt on the ground in front of the bed and unlocked the upper drawer, where he found a collection of simple weapons, and even some more obscure ones, like throwing knives, single-handed crossbows, and some sort of axe on a chain that looked like it would be more dangerous to the user than anyone else.

nah, he's an mc, he's gonna take forever to get to the top only to realize that compared to the rest of the world he's still on the bottom
Between me and you, you want to awaken those powers before you get to the Academy, the elite students are particular about the power rankings, and if you don't, you'll be starting school from the very bottom."

peeling skin? I doubt hed get a bad sunburn from working in the mines so did he have leprosy or something?
A quick glance down at his hands showed Karl a familiar bronze tan, but the scars and peeling skin from a childhood spent working in the mines after class were mostly gone, replaced with a deep red mark that looked like three long claw marks running the length of his forearm.

that's a very odd correlation... let me guess, one in a hundred of those serums is actually a way more dangerous but more powerful version?
"There you are. I thought that we lost you there for a minute. It's a good sign, zero casualties at this stop always means there is a powerful one in the bunch."

it's cliche but far preferable to an academy arc
They had already sat through an hour of speeches by the Principal, reminding them of their duty to the nation, the glory of the Elites, and the importance of this chance that they were given. After all, they were just the children of common mine workers, dirt floor poor and unlikely to ever be anything else.

I'm ngl seeing 'golden dragon nation' in the synopsis would have turned me off from reading this if it wasn't at the top of the new Fresh category
The elites were the idols of the Golden Dragon nation, super humans with magical abilities that were born from the Divine Injection that the students were going to receive today.

Today was the day of the tenth annual elite recruitment drive, and every graduating student at Lithium Mine Middle School was gathered in the gymnasium, waiting for the elites to arrive with the medicine that would decide their fate.

speaking of major treasures, I wonder what would happen if Sumatra continent fused with brangaras major treasure Tangible Natures, I assume it would do something like giving natures sentience throughout the continent, but I don't really understand why thatd be such an improvement that continents with way more developed power systems would seek it out, maybe it's a shortcut to developing the soul aspect of prana?
"I was aiming for the Attribute, honestly." Orakha smiled wryly, "In terms of power gain with respect to my power system, I calculated Attribute to be vastly superior. So, I was aiming for that."

I'm guessing he was learning how drifting tunnel affects gravity to better understand how he can use perfect inertial gravity
Name alone is power, which became even more relevant when it was a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast's. Hence, Resha had been using the Royal Zinger's name to keep Brangara's growing force in check, all while he was accumulating power on his own.

A gene that allowed him to change the color of his hair to black or red.

you fool! that f-grade is one half of an sss-rank gene! you just need to awaken the [multiple pronouns] gene to complete it!
When the Gene-awakening test came, he didn't awaken the so-called powerful Gene but awoken the trashy F-grade multi-color hair gene.

"nooo! you can't engage in human trafficking and sell me to a lab!" "I have a 5 star summon in honkai star rail!"
He couldn't believe what was happening as the people he called clan members sold him out to a dark force as a lab rat for 2.5 million Star coins.

Zeras assessed the condition of his body as he saw that all his muscles were completely paralyzed and couldn't move a single inch except for his eyebrows.

I can see how this ranking system wouldn't be accurate, someone who's good at fighting beasts like a druid or hunter would be placed way higher than classes geared to fight humanoids like assassins or something
Because everyone's internal measurements are so wildly different, we judge everyone on the same scale as magical beasts. From Common to Mythical in Rank based on what they can defeat in battle, or how effective their healing and support skills are compared to beasts at the same level.
