1 Legendary Class at the Awakening Ceremony

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Chen Yong, a basic life-type class! Blacksmith!"

"Zhang Wei, a basic support-type class! Priest!"

"Li Qiang, an intermediate combat-type class! Fire Mage!"

-

Two huge statues stood on the field of Sunrise High School in Doveston City.

One of them was 18 meters tall and held a book in his hand.

Even though he was only a stone statue, the exquisite carving made him look virtuous, wise, kind, and dignified.

The other statue was completely different from him.

In front of this stone statue was a slightly shorter stone statue.

He looked like he was high-spirited and full of vigor!

It was obvious at a glance that he was a young man who had great ambitions and was about to carry out his great plan.

At this moment.

The principal, Wang Wenfeng, was playing the role of the old man's stone statue. He was carrying out the awakening ceremony for this year's third-year students.

The Year Three students stood in front of the awakening ceremony altar in an orderly manner.

Their eyes sparkled with excitement.

They were just like the statue of the youth. All of them were in high spirits!

In all of the classrooms located in the teaching building.

The Year One and Year Two students were all leaning against the windowsill, looking at the scene on the field with anticipation and curiosity.

Every time someone awakened a good profession class, the students would clench their fists excitedly.

It was as if they were the ones undergoing the awakening ritual.

It was impossible for them not to care about it.

After all, in a year or two, they would also be taking part in this awakening ceremony that would determine their lives henceforth.

Fifty years ago, a change occurred in the world, and spatial cracks appeared everywhere.

The spiritual energy on Earth became abnormally dense.

Some plants had a massive growth spurt, while some animals mutated into dire beasts.

The most terrifying thing was that countless monsters surged out of these spatial cracks and went on a killing spree, killing everyone in their path.

In an instant, Earth was plunged into misery and suffering, and the population decreased to one-tenth.

Just as humanity was on the verge of extinction, the first Awakened appeared.

He was the origin of the awakening of all the professions, and he was an aptitude master.

The stone statue of the elderly male on the ritual platform was carved in his image.

The principals of the 28 high schools on Earth were all aptitude masters who had awakened their professional class later on.

-

In front of each phalanx.

The form teachers of the Year Three students revealed gratified expressions. They could not help but sigh.

"There are more students awakening intermediate professions this year than in previous years."

"These are all promising youths. In the future, the world will be their stage."

"The younger generation will surpass us in time!"

On the altar.

Li Qiang, who had awakened an intermediate profession, was also excited.

The principal, Wang Wenfeng, patted Li Qiang's shoulder affectionately and smiled.

"Li Qiang, I believe that after graduation, you will perform splendidly on the front lines."

"In the future, all the teachers and students of your alma mater—including me—will rely on you for our protection."

Wang Wenfeng's words were not empty words.

After all, although aptitude masters were highly respected and could awaken a youth's profession, they did not have any combat strength.

Hence, it was reasonable for Wang Wenfeng to say that he needed the protection of the youths.

Li Qiang was also very excited when he heard that. He hurriedly bowed to Wang Wenfeng.

"I'll make sure to keep that in mind!"

After that, Li Qiang strode toward the phalanx on the left side of the ritual platform.

Students who had awakened combat-type classes were there.

Students who were standing in the phalanx on the right and back had support-type and life-type classes.

The students who had yet to complete the awakening ceremony and the people from the other two types of classes looked at Li Qiang enviously.

Everyone knew very well what it meant to have an intermediate class.

"Li Qiang is really lucky."

"Precisely. For a fire mage, he simply needs to train in the army for three to five years, and he'll be a lieutenant."

"Not only that, the treatment of those in the combat faculty has always been much better than the other two faculties. If you can become a senior lieutenant, the treatment will actually be on par with colonels!"

"Tsk. Forget about being a lieutenant. I'll count myself lucky if I can even become a sergeant."

It could be said that he had made a name for himself.

-

However, Chen Feng's thoughts were completely different from everyone else's.

"In such a dangerous world, isn't it good to awaken a support-type or life-type profession so that we'll be safe and can relax?"

"Whatever treatment or military rank can't be more important than your own life."

Chen Feng thought to himself. However, he did not say anything.

After all, the values of most people in this world were different from Chen Feng's.

Ever since Chen Feng transmigrated to this world three years ago, he had already decided which direction his life should take.

His life would always come first!

Just as he was thinking, a dazzling white light suddenly erupted from the ritual platform.

This soaring white light immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the school.

"It's Leng Ruzhi!"

Hearing that name, even Chen Feng, who usually paid no attention to the outside world, could not stop himself from turning to look.

In the three years since he transmigrated, he had more or less heard of Leng Ruzhi's name.

Not only was she acknowledged as the school belle by all, but she had always got first place in all subjects. No one else had ever been able to surpass her.

There were even rumors that the Leng family had a high status in the military world!

It seemed natural for such a genius to awaken a rare profession.

It had been a minute since the white light erupted.

Wang Wenfeng's expression also changed.

The startled surprised expression on his face turned to one of seriousness. His face began to turn pale.

Generally speaking, there would not be any abnormalities during the awakening ceremony.

Even when Li Qiang had awakened an intermediate profession earlier, only a faint red light was emitted briefly.

That was all.

However, this time, the light emitted from Leng Ruzhi's body was not only blindingly bright, but it was also incomparably long.

After a full five minutes, the soaring white light gradually dissipated.

Leng Ruzhi and the principal's figure came into everyone's line of sight.

Leng Ruzhi still looked the same.

Her skin was as white as ice, and her expression was cold and distant.

Wang Wenfeng, who was in front of her, looked like he was about to collapse.

His clothes were drenched in sweat.

After all, aptitude masters had to use up a lot of their energy to help others awaken.

The teachers at the scene were shocked when they saw the state that Wang Wenfeng was in. They hurriedly rushed up to the ritual platform to support him.

"Principal Wang! Are you all right?"

"Help the principal over there to rest!"

However, Wang Wenfeng waved his hand.

He said weakly, "It's okay. I can still hold it together."

After he took two deep breaths, he wiped the sweat from his temples and stood up straight again.

"Leng Ruzhi! A legendary combat-type class! Holy Light Envoy!" he announced.

His shaky old voice seemed to resound through the entire Sunrise High School and penetrate everyone's minds.

A legendary combat-type class!

It was actually a legendary class!

All the students in the school were in an uproar. Everyone's mouths were agape in shock. All their attention was on Leng Ruzhi, who had silently walked into the combat faculty's phalanx.

No one took notice of the principal's next words.

"The awakening ceremony will continue. The next person is…"

"Chen Feng."
