Summary: First Transitional Dog of War. After 1 year of devoted partnership with A1 she officially became a Dog of War with a talent for raising Children. Destined to be the mother of incredible Talents and live a long life.]

''Wait system, what is this Maternal Instinct talent?'' Samuel asked curiously. After all, he didn't know Betty had a talent like this.

[Competent Mothers of Dogs of War who have become Transitional Dogs of War have a chance to develop the talent 'Maternal Instinct' allowing for the Hosts Dogs of War to grow up stronger and more talented.]

''Ah, is it unique to Dogs of War Mothers? That's incredible a unique talent!'' Samuel was finally excited. Only his people can get it!

The 'Maternal Instinct' talent is incredibly powerful. How significant is it for the younger generation to benefit so heavily from this? Samuels new generation of Dogs of War will easily outdo the First Generation!

Of course summoning the First Generation is still useful, even after there's plenty of other generations. After all they have a chance to be summoned with new talents or auras and then pass them down.

But the importance of the younger generations can't be downplayed. Samuel has learnt a lot from the various books he read as a child, including information about a lot of ruins in the Eternal Battlefield.

Many rogue warriors or even organisations powerhouses will leave their inheritance behind in the Battlefield if they realise they might die. These could be powerhouses from any race however there are rarely racial restrictions.

What's really important is Talent and Age. Most Inheritance tests will first look at your age and then your talent. Which means large Warrior Organisations will heavily invest in their new generations.

Which also leads to large competition between various young people.

Even in this small Field View city there are annual competitions between the young generation. The age limit is 20 years old and the prize is presented by the Government.

Every year the prize is the same. A Spiritual Fruit and 10 Spiritual Crystals for the top 3. And 4th to 10th place receive a special spirit grass that can improve their Practice Speed and 5 Spiritual Crystals.

Last year Samuel didn't have someone young enough to compete, but now Samuel has A32, who is only 15!

With A32s special 'Blessing Of Youth' Talent doubling his Practice Speed, he has made rapid progress! Samuel expects him to be ready to reach the Middle Rank 1 stage within a year without any external forces!

However right now he is still a Low Rank 1 Warrior. But his physical strength had been boosted under the piling of a lot of Herbs.

In preparation for this Youth Tournament Samuel even gave A32 a rare Physique boosting herb that was found throughout the month. Its value is over a million credits but its effect is to significantly increase the physical strength of the user.

However it brings no benefits to the amount of Spiritual Energy A32 has. But if before he could destroy a boulder with a punch then now he could easily crush a small hill!

Samuel is confident that even if A32 can't get the top 3 in this year's tournament he can at least rank in the top 10.

After all it is still a small city, there aren't many talented juniors. The biggest worry is those coming from the Sealife Organisation that the Dogs of War are currently under.

Naturally as a Rank D SeaLife Organisation, their younger generations will have much more resources than Samuel can provide. But luckily he heard that there are only two descendants worth developing this year.

After all you can't always get lucky, other people don't have Samuels System allowing all the newborns to have Spiritual Roots!

If an Organisation is unlucky they might not have a single participant for the yearly tournament.

Although powerful Organisations can recruit outside warriors or newborns but they are unwilling to invest a lot of resources.

It is impossible to guarantee the loyalty of the new recruits, so most situated organisations will make it a rule that they will only invest in people who have stayed for multiple years.

Of course this isn't that important in Rank D Organisations. There are dozens of Warriors and naturally there are plenty of talented children.

But the strange thing is that the amount of warriors in the city seems to stay far below what Samuel expected. This had always confused Samuel after all there are a lot of children born with Spiritual roots within Warrior Organisations so where did they all go?

Even if there's only one or two born every decade there will still be hundreds even after removing those who died on the battlefield or died of old age.

And it was only recently that Samuel learnt what actually happened. They are hidden. Hidden from the public's eye.

Much like how Samuel has hidden away a majority of his Warriors, other Organisations do the same!

Other organisations think that Samuel only has around 10 Warriors and 1 Middle Rank 1 Warrior.

The other Dogs of War are often sent out unmarked to the Eternal battlefield, but if they aren't doing that then they are practising in the top floors of the building.

As for interpersonal relationships they are all handled by the ten figure heads of the organisation. A1-A10 often finds talented women and asks them whether they want to marry another warrior.

After getting a guarantee of secrecy the other warriors are officially introduced to their new partners and create their own families!

Of course this isn't the perfect way to do this, but there is nothing Samuel can do. He can't let people know he suddenly has 30 Warriors! It would instantly draw attention.

And there is currently not much to worry about. After a year all these partners will become completely loyal to Samuel as Dogs of War.

But much like Samuel keeping warriors secret, so do other Organisations. Of course a general F Rank Organisation doesn't have enough members to keep them secret.

But a few E Rank, and definitely the D Rank SeaLife Organisation will have many so called 'Ancestors' who are either hidden away in the Organisations building or travelling unmarked in the Eternal Battlefield.

After all, Low Rank 1 Warriors have a lifespan of 200 years alone, while Middle Rank 1 Warriors have 250 years of life and High Rank 1 Warriors have 300 Years of life!

As for Second Rank Warriors they have 600 Years of life when they reach Low Rank 2, 900 years at Middle Rank 2 and 1200 at High Rank 2!

This is an insane amount of lifespan for anyone! Many people on this Planet are long lived and the history is almost untraceable.

Samuel had long since prepared himself for the long run when he activated the System. After all, even the SeaLife Organisation has over three thousand years of history!

The 100 Warriors in the City Previously mentioned are only in the Exterior Section of the City.

The SeaLife Organisation has more than that just on the surface!
