As soon as Blair finished speaking, a few of his underlings immediately voiced out their agreement.
"Hahaha, Boss Blair is right. This kid Gray is probably so scared that he wet his bed."
"Such trash was actually Boss Blair's classmate. It's simply the biggest joke."
"Gray, Boss Blair is still willing to talk to you even after awakening his A-grade talent. You should be feel honored."
"Cherish your last moments as classmates. In the future you and Boss Blair will no longer be in the same world."
These guys were Blair's underlings. They often follow behind Blair and bullied other classmates.
Now that Blair had awakened an A-grade talent, his future would only be brighter. Naturally, they would try their best to please their "boss".
However, when Blair heard the last sentence, he frowned slightly and said with a trace of dissatisfaction.
"What do you mean from now on, Gray and me are not in the same world?"
"We haven't been in the same world from the very beginning!"
The underling originally wanted to curry favor with Blair but was shocked to angered him instead. He then repeatedly apologize to Blair.
As for Teacher Peter, he could only chose to remain silent.
After all, Blair had awaken an A-grade talent, thus was no longer someone as he, as a teacher, could casually reprimand.
Gray, who was at the door, saw all this scene, but his heart did not waver in the slightest bit.
In this world, awakening an A-grade talent meant one's future would be bright.
Conversely, getting a lower grade talent meant that one would basically have a hopeless life.
Gray had a deep understanding of this, because he had experienced it all in his past life.
Therefore, he did not say anything unnecessary. He just calmly walk at the front of the podium, looked at Teacher Peter, and asked.
"Teacher, can I start my awakening?"
Peter was slightly stunned when he heard Gray's words.
'Hmm? Why does this kid, Gray, feel different from before?
'It seem as if he ... matured a lot?'
Before Teacher Peter could even react, Blair was already angry. He stood up and slammed the table.
Bang!*
"Gray, how dare you ignore me?!"
Faced with Blair's provocation, Gray slowly turned his head and calmly looked at him. He said dully,
"I am really sorry."
Hearing this, Blair froze on the spot. Teacher Peter's eyes flashed with a hint of suprise.
'Gray did not further escalate the conflict?
'If it was the old Gray, he would have long been neck to neck with Blair's provocation.
'Because of this, Gray had a several visits to the hospital.
'Although the federation would provide further help to poor families like Gray to prevent an increase in their financial problem.
'But getting injured meant that actual damage was done on his body, even if the medical fees were covered.
'However, Gray has never given in.
'How come today ... He relent in?'
Blair was completely stunned.
He expected Gray to continue opposing him, then he could give Gray a good beating.
However, Gray actually directly apologized to him.
At first, he wanted give his opponent a good punch, but who knew that his punch landed on soft cotton instead.
It was really an uncomfortable feeling.
After Gray finished speaking, he did not continue dwelling on this matter. Instead, he turned his head to look at Teacher Peter.
"Teacher, can I start my awakening?"
"Ah... Yes..."
Teacher Peter answered blankly.
Then, Gray laid inside the special capsule in front of the podium.
In addition to the transparent protective cover, beside the capsule was a display screen. This screen was used to display the user's talent.
This was a special instruments invented by the federation, the talent awakening device.
Every student could only logged into Limitless in the day of the talent awakening. Violators would be expelled from school and would be stripped of all the benefits provided by the government.
Today was the day of the awakening -- the last day of 2150.
Once the students who had just turned 18 years old log into Limitless during the talent awakening, their awakened talent would be display on the screen.
Through this method, the federation and the school could select talented students and focus on nurturing them.
Gray, who was inside the capsule, looked at his teacher through a little window. Peter shot him an encouraging look.
Then, Gray closed his eyes.
Logged into Limitless!
In the next few moment, Gray felt as if his consciousness had been pulled out. Then, he arrived at a pure white space.
For other students, it was their first day in this space.
However, Gray was here "10 years ago".
Gray, who was revisiting this place, was filled with endless emotion. The electronic voice in his memory sounded again.
"Welcome to Limitless.
"Detected that the player has logged in for the first time. Activating talent skill...
"Activation successful. D-grade talent skill, Slight Passive Enhancement!"
Hearing this, Gray sighed.
As expected, just like his previous life, it was the same D-grade talent skill.
Since he had successfully awakened his talent, Gray did not plan to stay here any longer. He was planning to leave the white space and return to the real world.
However, at this moment, the electronic voice from before sounded again.
"Mother Earth's blessing detected. Talent is being forcefully upgraded.
"Activating talent skill again...
"Activation successful. SSS-grade talent skill, Godly Passive Enhancement!"
