Upon hearing this, Admiral Snop's first reaction was that the Director of the Gene Research Institute must have mistaken Graces for someone else. Otherwise, how could he claim that Graces was a Gene Fusion Expert?
If Graces were really a Gene Fusion Expert, how could he be just a Colonel?
Snop had long lamented that Graces was held back simply because he wasn't a Gene Fusion Expert.
"What? You didn't know?" Hearing Admiral Snop's reply, the Director of the Gene Research Institute also looked shocked. He couldn't believe it. 'Did Graces really not mention such an important matter to his own superior?'
'Isn't that a bit too low-key?'
It was completely unexpected. He had assumed that with the Empire's reverence for Gene Fusion Experts, anyone who became one would want to announce it far and wide.
He thought the First Military District would have been in an uproar over Graces becoming a Gene Fusion Expert by now.
And yet, Admiral Snop didn't even know.
