Chapter 2 - The Awakening Ceremony

"The first one, Mies!"

Mies, who was the first to be called, walked up to the Awakening Altar nervously. He took a deep breath and placed his hand on the Awakening Stone.

He kept praying in his heart.

"Grandpa, Grandma, please bless me."

He closed his eyes, and a white light lit up on the Awakening Stone. The next moment, the Awakening Ceremony ended.

Peg loudly read out the result of the awakening. "Mies, lifestyle class, Coachman!"

Hearing this result, Mies instantly became gloomy.

"It's actually the Coachman, and it really is the Coachman. It looks like this is my fate!"

Three generations of his family had been coachmen.

Undoubtedly, it was impossible for one to become a warrior after awakening such a role.

He would not have any great prospects.

The only good thing was that he would be able to do a better job than an ordinary coachman.

"It's not bad. I can barely make ends meet."

After he left the altar, the other children patted him on the shoulder and comforted him not to be too sad.

At the same time, they were praying that they would not awaken this useless role like Mies.

Only Lin Yi looked at Mies differently.

"The Coachman is pretty good, right? At least I don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy and sacrifice my life for nothing," he thought.

"Next, Loke."

The ceremony continued, and the second child went on stage to awaken.

Another white light shone.

"Loke, lifestyle class, Farmer!"

As a farmer, he could be considered to be able to survive in the village.

Loke didn't have any goals. He shrugged and accepted it calmly.

The third child.

The fourth child.

The fifth child.

The next few people weren't as unlucky as the first two who awakened the lifestyle class.

Instead, they awakened roles like Alchemists and Priests of the support class.

There were also a few roles of the combat-type class, such as Warriors, Mages, and Archers.

This made the old village chief Jeff's face soften a little.

Although they were not particularly outstanding roles of the combat class.

They still had the qualifications to become a warrior.

"The last mutated class appeared eight years ago."

"I wonder if our village will have a chance to produce a mutated class this year?"

Jeff said expectantly.

Peg shook his head in disdain.

"That's impossible. Mutated class is extremely rare. There aren't even a few in a big city, let alone a small village like yours."

Peg was merciless.

It was also very realistic.

A mutated class had a second awakening on the basis of the three classes of combat, support, and lifestyle.

In short, the mutated class would have stronger talents than the ordinary classes.

Only children with outstanding spiritual power had the chance to awaken it.

It was very rare!

Jeff sighed. Although Peg had poured cold water on him, he had to admit that what Peg said made sense.

Spiritual power was not only determined innately but also through nutrition and training.

It was precisely because of this reason that the talents of the village children could not compare to those of the children in the big cities.

It would be good enough to have a few more combat-type classes.

Something like a mutated class...

How could they dare to have too much hope?

"Next, Rael!"

It was Rael's turn. He immediately became excited.

After taking a glance at Lin Yi, he walked up to the Awakening Altar confidently.

"Put your hand on the Awakening Stone!"

Rael held his breath and focused all his attention on the Awakening Stone.

The next moment, a black light suddenly lit up from the Awakening Stone!

It wrapped around Rael's entire body.

At this moment, everyone present felt strong killing intent.

It spread out from Rael's body!

"Could it be..."

Peg's expression changed, and the old village chief beside him grinned happily.

Mutated class?

It was a phenomenon that would only appear when a mutated class was awakened!

"Is it a mutated class? Did a mutated class appear in our village again? That's great!"

The shadow of a black dagger slowly appeared above Rael's head.

A mysterious black energy gushed out from the dagger and poured into Rael's body.

All the children looked at each other dumbfoundedly because this scene was too cool!

Lin Yi thought to himself that Rael's luck was definitely superior compared to the other children.

Just from the phenomenon that was triggered during the Awakening Ceremony, it was obvious that this was the case.

He could tell that Rael's class was extraordinary!

Finally, the results were out.

Peg announced in an excited voice,

"It's a mutated combat-type class! Originally, he should only be an assassin, but with the support of a mutated class..."

"He awakened as the Shadow Reaper!"

"Awakening this class means that he has a stronger attack, faster speed, and sharper observation skills than ordinary assassins."

"At the same time, he was born with the ability to become invisible!"

"Your future is bright, Rael. I've only read about this class in books!"

Everyone looked at Rael with admiration and envy.

Jeff, the old village chief, couldn't help but come forward and pat Rael's head in satisfaction.

"If only all the children in our village could be like Rael."

Rael was also filled with pride.

A mutated class!

The one in a million!

"I must be God's chosen!" he thought.

After he got off the altar, all the children immediately surrounded him. Rael's confidence swelled even more as he enjoyed being surrounded.

"I am the pride of the entire Unther Town."

"However, Xiqin..."

Rael looked expectantly at Xiqin, who was standing beside Lin Yi. However, the joy in his eyes instantly disappeared.

Xiqin stood there quietly, not even looking at him.

He had clearly awakened such a powerful class.

Rael smiled bitterly. All this while, Xiqin had only had a good impression of Lin Yi.

No matter how hard he tried, Xiqin would not notice him.

"Damn it!"

The fates of people of different classes were completely different. He was a mutated class and a favored son of heaven.

It was impossible for anyone present to surpass him.

As long as he continued to work hard, he believed that today would be the day he would surpass Lin Yi.

"Next, Xiqin."

"Wait!"

Peg continued to shout, but this time, he was interrupted by Jeff.

The village chief leaned into Peg's ear and said something. The next moment, Peg's expression changed but immediately returned to normal.

"Ahem, in that case, Xiqin doesn't need to participate in the Awakening Ceremony."

"Next, Lin Yi."

No one knew why Xiqin didn't participate in the Awakening Ceremony.

They didn't know what the village chief said.

Only Lin Yi was keenly aware that there was a moment of fear in Peg's expression.

However, the others' attention was now on Lin Yi.

"The number one genius in every training, Lin Yi, is about to participate in the Awakening Ceremony."

"I'm looking forward to it."

Rael also stared at him with a gloomy expression.

"Come on, let me see what class you can awaken!"
