A Good Figure Is a Basic Requirement for Reaching Planetary Level

"Sister Katsuyu, y-you've already taken human form, so why are you still this tall?!"

This was Hyuga Hinata's strongest protest, delivered in the gentlest voice.

After confirming that Katsuyu's height was a genuine simulation—that her human form was 2.60 meters tall, no, 2.82 meters now—the Advents were all stunned.

Uchiha Sanae, the shortest among them, became even more dissatisfied with her own height of 1.58 meters, despite her slender, well-proportioned figure making her look tall and graceful.

But her actual height was still unsatisfying.

Especially after Sanae learned that Hyuga Hinata had already reached 1.63 meters and still had the potential to grow taller.

Uchiha Sanae grew even more dissatisfied with her height. She constantly wished she could grow a little more. "Even 1.65 meters would satisfy me."

"If that really won't work, then bring in a few Advents who are just a little shorter than me. As long as I'm not the shortest one, that'll do."

Unfortunately, the new generation of Advents all had proper nutrition. Even during wartime, as long as they fell within the selection range for Advents, they could receive protection and supplies from Zenith Civilization.

The new Advents were each taller than the last. Even the shortest girls were over 1.60 meters tall, and that minimum height rose every year.

But no matter what, they could never reach Katsuyu's current standard.

What everyone pursued now was Cocoon Forger Aburame Tetsumaru's height of 2.20 meters. The closest candidate had yet to break the 2.10-meter mark.

Zenith Civilization's current technological level could certainly alter its members' heights, whether through growth hormones or specialized bone and muscle adjustment surgeries.

But so long as someone aspired to become Planetary or Stellar, they could not alter their height through external means. That would mean damaging their body's systems.

The only
