At dusk, inside a classroom of Bolt Academy, there were intense gasps of breath, accompanied by bouts of crying.
"Oh my God."
"Don't stop, just like that."
A beautifully dressed, delicate-featured blonde girl lifted her long skirt embroidered with complex patterns.
The boy standing behind her was fiercely attacking her private parts.
Half an hour later, with a satisfying shudder, both collapsed onto the desk, oblivious to the scattering of school-issued textbooks around them.
Anna Daisy gazed lovingly at her beau, her voice soft and tender as she spoke.
"Henry, tomorrow is the moment of awakening. Have you thought about what class you want to choose?"
Cupping Anna Daisy's pristine breast in one hand, molding it into various shapes, Henry stroked his chin with the other and replied, "Warrior. I want to become a warrior."
"It's the ultimate dream of a man."
The [Ascension] event happened about a hundred years ago, invading the real world with the rules of a game, bringing forth incredible phenomena.
Birds and beasts in the forests mutated into demons with immense destructive power...
Whales in the ocean became the supreme rulers of the seas, swallowing passing cruise ships whole...
The apes of the African continent declared war on humanity, evolving an intelligence rivaling that of humans.
In this perilous world, humans could only counter these threats by awakening to various classes.
According to long-accumulated human experience, eighteen was the ideal age for class selection, minimizing the risk of losing control and facilitating the birth of various hidden classes.
Henry, fantasizing in his heart, eagerly anticipated awakening to a hidden class of his own.
Meanwhile, pinned beneath him, Anna Daisy smiled and said, "Then it's settled. You awaken as a warrior, and I'll awaken as a support. We can team up together."
Henry lifted Anna Daisy's swan-like chin and bit her lips fiercely.
"You little enchantress, you still won't let me off the hook even after awakening, will you?" teased Henry.
Anna Daisy scoffed playfully. "Don't even think about it. I'm not a woman easily satisfied."
"In that case, how about another round?" he proposed.
"Bring it on. I just hope you can keep up. Ouch, slow down, it's too big, it hurts," she winced.
The classroom was once again filled with intense sounds of panting.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was the following morning.
"Those called upon, please step onto the Awakening Stage and wait quietly for about a minute. Then, you'll discover which class you've awakened to," instructed the teacher responsible for the awakening training, addressing the anxious students from the podium.
"Little Westbrook."
A freckled, short-statured boy stepped onto the Awakening Stage.
The stage shimmered in changing colors, enigmatic and mysterious, before a mystical light surged into Little Westbrook's body.
"Team magus, I've actually awakened as a team magus!" he exclaimed excitedly.
Among the various classes available for awakening, the magus was certainly a coveted choice.
Not only could they deal damage from a distance, ensuring their safety, but their spell damage was also exceptionally effective.
They could even eliminate multiple enemies at once, making them a sought-after talent in every major team.
Little Westbrook, coming from a humble background, could now change his family's fortune and ascend to high society with his newfound abilities.
Seeing Little Westbrook awaken such a formidable class first, the other students in the classroom were eager to try their luck, confident they wouldn't fall short of his achievement.
However, as their names were called one after another, the outcomes were less than satisfactory.
"Anna Daisy!"
The girl with delicate features slowly walked up to the stage, and under the glow of light, her fate was sealed.
Anna Daisy looked somewhat astonished. The teacher, seeing this, repeatedly inquired about her awakened role.
"Hidden class, Wood Archer."
She had awakened a hidden class!
The classroom erupted in astonishment.
Everyone knew what a hidden class signified.
Among ten thousand awakeners, finding one with a hidden class was rare; they often possessed irreplaceable talents!
If Little Westbrook's awakening as a magus was the darling of the team, then a hidden class was the leader, the engine that could turn the tides of battle.
The teacher responsible for the Awakening Ritual was visibly excited, even stumbling over his words.
"Ah, Anna Daisy, very impressive. You must be the most outstanding talent of your class."
Anna Daisy listened to the compliments but couldn't bring herself to feel happy.
She looked anxiously at her boyfriend Henry, wondering what role he would unlock.
What if their classes didn't match?
She silently vowed to herself, regardless of the outcome, she would stay by Henry's side.
Nothing could separate them!
"Henry!"
Finally, it was his turn.
Henry took a deep breath and stepped towards the Awakening Stage.
As he placed his foot on the stage, a dazzling light flashed, followed by a tremor across the entire stage.
The onlookers in the classroom watched in shock, unsure of what was happening.
After two or three minutes, the light finally subsided, and Henry saw his awakened class.
"Name: Henry
Level: lv3
Agility: 12
Speed: 6
Strength: 16
Intelligence: 21
Class: Hidden Support
Skill: [Supreme Support]: After a team battle victory, all team members' earnings increase tenfold."
"So, what did you awaken as?" Anna Daisy asked eagerly.
"You might not believe it, but I ended up with a buff-type support class," Henry said with a wry smile.
He had hoped to awaken as a warrior, yet here he was, a support.
Although this support class was extraordinary – a hidden class with the ability to increase the entire team's earnings tenfold – Henry found himself becoming an object of desire for all awakeners.
However, the audience below the stage didn't know that Henry had awakened as a hidden class.
They assumed he was just a regular support.
Supports, indispensable in a team, often lack overall combat ability and rely on others' protection during battles.
The sight of Henry, a brave man, awakening to such an unconventional class was, to many, amusing.
A burly man, who often clashed with Henry, stood up from his seat and taunted,
"Anna Daisy, your boyfriend's a dud. Join my team instead! I'm a genuine warrior class."
"But Henry, if you've got the nerve, you could always beg to join me. After all, a support is just that, a dime a dozen class. Any random member in my team could replace you."
Anna Daisy frowned, decisively taking her boyfriend's hand and whispering in his ear, "Don't listen to them. Let's team up, just the two of us. I believe my boyfriend won't lose heart just because he's a support class."
Henry's lips curved into a smile, looking around at his insincere classmates who were quick to kick a man when he was down, and chuckled,
"Perhaps awakening as a support wasn't my first wish."
"But a hidden class support might not be so bad, right?"
"After all, an ability that increases the team's earnings tenfold... I don't think that's been seen anywhere in the world yet."
"What?!"
Earnings increased tenfold!
The classroom instantly erupted into excitement – everyone understood the significance of that number.
What others achieved in ten years, they could accomplish in one year by Henry's side.
One by one, students eagerly raised their hands, pitching themselves to Henry.
"Look at me, big guy. I'm a tank. I'll be your personal bodyguard, ensuring not a single HP is lost."
"What's the use of a tank? I'm a magus. Wherever you point, that's where I'll strike."
"Have you no shame, all of you? Henry is mine, don't even think about stealing him."
The burly man who had mocked Henry earlier was now cowering in a corner, not daring to lift his head.
Witnessing the lively scene in the classroom, Anna Daisy couldn't help but laugh.
"Henry, you've become the man of the hour. You won't ditch me, will you?"
Henry, unconcerned with the attention, casually placed his hand on Anna Daisy's shapely behind.
"How could I? I wouldn't just leave my girl behind."
As Henry was about to lead Anna Daisy off the Awakening Stage, a sudden flash of light burst forth. Henry froze on the spot.
He had awakened a second skill!
"Skill [Friend of the Goddess]: For every female with a hidden class in your team, your earnings in battle are increased by 100 times!"
