**Parallel World, Blue Star.**
The playground of Jiangcheng No. 2 Middle School was teeming with people.
Today was the day for senior high school students to awaken to their professions.
It was also the swearing-in ceremony for the National Professional College Entrance Examination!
Countless students dressed in No. 2 Middle School uniforms sat in neat rows, organized by class. Behind them, numerous media outlets and reporters, cameras in hand, recorded the momentous occasion.
"Class 8, Grade 3, all soldiers!"
"Stand up!"
"Swear an oath with me—"
At the front of the line, a spirited young man suddenly stood up, grabbed the microphone, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"From today on, I will become a member of Daxia's professionals!"
"I will strive hard and level up courageously!"
…
"I will contribute to the renaissance of the human race... ugh!"
Perhaps he had overexerted himself; at the end of his series of oaths, he began to retch.
Bang bang bang bang!
The school leaders on stage led the applause.
The media and reporters also clapped and praised him!
This was exactly the kind of spirit they wanted to see!
In the queue of Class 8 of Senior High School, a handsome boy couldn't help but almost burst out laughing.
His name was Lin Yi, and eighteen years had passed since he had traveled to this world.
This world had been invaded by countless games, expanding the territory by more than tenfold compared to the Earth where Lin Yi had lived in his previous life.
In this world, humans were not truly at the top of the food chain on Blue Star.
In numerous unknown regions, a multitude of unknown and terrifying monsters and beasts constantly threatened the flame of human civilization.
In such an environment, everyone seemed to be on edge, always thinking about self-improvement.
Prepare for war, and prepare for more war.
Fortunately, humanity had received the blessing of Blue Star's Heaven.
Upon reaching adulthood at the age of 18, everyone had a chance to awaken their skills.
Acquiring combat skills meant successfully transitioning to a primary combat profession.
In the future, these individuals would become the vanguard of the human race against monsters and beasts.
Their identity and status were far higher than those who awakened auxiliary or life skills.
"You can still laugh? I'm about to die from nervousness!"
A tall, strong boy next to Lin Yi poked his back, sweating profusely.
"Why are you so nervous? It's just a profession awakening," Lin Yi replied calmly.
The tall boy's name was Zhang Shan, Lin Yi's good friend. Perhaps his parents had set their expectations too high.
Though he appeared tall and arrogant, at this moment, he was far less composed than Lin Yi.
"You've been number one in the grade for three years. Of course, you're not nervous!"
"Damn, I just want to be a warrior and follow in my father's footsteps. He even has a full set of equipment and skill books saved up for me, with 5 skill point scrolls ready to use!"
"Time to blow some gold coins, old man!"
Lin Yi found it amusing; Zhang Shan was such a filial son.
With the conclusion of the swearing-in ceremony, the awakening ceremony for the students of Jiangcheng No. 2 Middle School officially began.
The ceremony was simple. The person whose name was called would walk up to the stage and touch the massive light blue spiritual crystal suspended in the center to obtain their first skill.
At the same time, they would awaken their corresponding professional traits based on the acquired skill.
"Zhao Kuan, acquired skill: Fishing, profession: Lifestyle Fisherman!"
"Cai Kun, acquired skill: Singing, profession: Lifestyle Idol!"
"Jiang Chengliang, acquired skill: Blacksmithing, profession: Lifestyle Blacksmith!"
…
One by one, students stepped onto the stage and awakened their professions.
The teachers announcing the results on stage read out a string of mundane skills and professions, causing many students in the audience to grow as anxious as Zhang Shan.
Even the teachers of Jiangcheng No. 2 Middle School were dissatisfied.
Everyone murmured.
Why were the qualifications of this year's students so poor?
More than ten minutes had passed, and not a single student had awakened combat skills!
"Jiang Ya, come up and awaken your profession!"
The homeroom teacher called out another name, and the next moment, everyone in Class 8, Grade 3 turned their attention to a girl with a cold temperament standing at the front of the queue.
"Jiang Ya, good luck!" Class 8's monitor, Hu Kai, standing at the front of the queue, hoarsely tried to encourage her, smiling in what he thought was a warm and supportive way.
However, his attempt fell flat; Jiang Ya didn't even glance at him.
Instead, she raised her eyes and looked at another boy further back in the queue.
Lin Yi felt helpless under Jiang Ya's slightly provocative gaze.
Was it really necessary to hold a grudge just because she had been overshadowed by him for the past three years? Now that she was about to awaken her profession, did she really need to challenge him?
As the class beauty of Class 8, and the school beauty of Jiangcheng No. 2 Middle School, Jiang Ya's actions caught everyone's attention.
In an instant, all eyes turned to Lin Yi.
After all, one was the top student in the grade, and the other was the second. The tension between them was palpable.
What professions would these two awaken? Countless people speculated.
After taking a deep look at Lin Yi, Jiang Ya stepped onto the stage, her long legs carrying her gracefully forward, and reached out to touch the blue spiritual crystal.
The next moment, the spiritual crystal trembled slightly, emitting a powerful wave of magic.
A strange phenomenon unfolded across the entire playground!
Countless grains of sand and stones began to defy gravity, gradually floating into the air, rotating in mysterious trajectories.
The old principal on stage narrowed his eyes, his expression brightening.
Before the homeroom teacher could even speak, the principal announced the result of the awakening.
"Jiang Ya, awakened skill: Telekinetic Control! Combat profession: Telekinetic Master!"
Wow—
The entire place erupted in excitement!
Click, click, click!
The reporters, eager to capture the moment, frantically pressed their shutters, recording this historic event.
A Telekinetic Master, a rare profession!
This profession allowed one to use mental power to control objects and attack enemies, and to use terrifying telekinesis to completely break down an enemy's mental defenses.
Jiang Ya, the cold-faced school beauty, even allowed herself a rare smile upon confirming her extremely rare profession.
"Lin Yi, come up and awaken your profession!"
After the shock of Jiang Ya's awakening, everyone's attention once again shifted to Lin Yi.
The second-ranked student had awakened a rare profession.
The first-ranked student must have an even more legendary profession, right?
As for an epic-level profession, they didn't dare to hope.
All eyes were on Lin Yi.
Zhang Shan's hands wouldn't stop shaking.
But his best friend was about to face the most important challenge of his life, so he mustered his courage and wished him well.
"Come on, Yi, you've got this—epic profession, here we go!"
Lin Yi strode onto the stage.
To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie.
In this environment, with so many people watching and expecting, even Lin Yi, who had been through two lifetimes and was usually calm, felt some anxiety.
He reached out to touch the blue spiritual crystal.
A cold sensation washed over him.
The next moment, a faint wave of magic pulsed from the crystal.
The old principal's eyebrows initially shot up in anticipation.
But the wave of magic didn't intensify.
It was... underwhelming.
Finally, the principal hid his disappointment and reluctantly announced, "Lin Yi, awakened skill: Fireball, combat profession: Mage."
Mage.
Just an ordinary mage.
Although it was a combat profession, with Jiang Ya's incredible awakening and the expectations surrounding Lin Yi, this result was a letdown to most.
Click, click, click!
The shutter sounds continued to ring out.
Lin Yi remained on stage, not out of dissatisfaction with the skill or profession he had awakened, but because he heard another voice in his mind.
[Congratulations, you have awakened the SSS-level talent: Gift of the Gods!]
[Effect: You gain 1 skill point every second.]
[Note: As your experience and strength increase, this talent will gradually unlock more functions. Stay tuned!]
