"Rex Obscurite, Unique Class Awakener, type Assassin."
After the Priest spoke, the whole class erupted in a roar.
"It is really a Unique Class!!"
"As expected of the heir of the top four families."
After the announcement, Rex calmly accepted the result and walked down from the platform. He approached Argus and gave him a smug look again. Rex wanted to see his friend's reaction, but he was disappointed. Argus just gave him a bored look.
"Tsk, you're so boring. Did you know that?" (Rex)
Argus did not answer him. Rex did not mind, as he was already used to his friend's personality. Before he could talk more to Argus, his classmates surrounded him. Seeing this, Argus took a certain distance from them. The teacher came back to his senses and called the last student.
"Argus Orpheus."
The whole area became quiet again since they knew Argus's personality. They were also curious about the result of Argus's awakening. Seeing the students become quiet, Rex slowly approached Argus.
"Good luck, brother." (Rex)
Argus just nodded, and he also headed to the platform with a bored look. The Priest, knowing that he was Rex's friend, also greeted Argus politely. Argus did not wait for the Priest's instruction and placed his hand on the orb. The Priest did not mind this and started activating the orb.
After a while, the whole room was covered with dark and crimson mist. Then they felt as if they were being stared at by divine beasts. The hair on their bodies stood up, and their instincts told them not to move. Then the phenomenon subsided, and the class became noisy again.
"That's scary."
"I felt like a ferocious beast was staring at me, and not just one beast."
"Yeah, what was that?"
"Another Unique Class Awakener!"
Even the Priest felt as if he were facing a Divine Beast, thinking that one wrong move would erase his existence. It was almost at the same level as Rex's phenomenon, or even worse. Calming his mind again, he spoke the result.
"Argus Orpheus, Unique Class Awakener, type Summoner."
"Really... Unique Class again."
"Two Unique Classes in our class? Wow, that was unexpected."
"Unique Classes are also divided into strong and weak types, but both of their phenomena are scary, so we can say that their classes are both strong. But his class is Summoner, an average class."
"Even if it is an average class, a Unique Class is a Unique Class. They are still stronger than Elite Classes."
"Yeah, I expected both the Twin Devils to get strong classes, but it was unexpected that both of them got Unique Classes. They are living up to their names."
The being at the center, on the other hand, ignored the talks around him. Argus was staring at the Status Window in front of him.
[Congratulations, you are now an Awakener]

Muttered Argus in his mind. Then a panel appeared that only he could see.

Although Argus had many questions in mind, it was not the proper place to think deeply about them. Closing his status window, Argus walked down from the platform and returned to Rex's side. Seeing Argus, the students made way for him. They congratulated him while walking, but Argus still had that lazy expression.
"At least smile, you idiot. You are really a boring person. What happened to your eyes? Is that the result of your awakening?" (Rex)
Argus ignored Rex.
"Sigh... Thank you, everyone." (Argus)
Hearing Argus, everyone was stunned, including Rex. The students cheered up again since this was the first time they heard Argus say thanks, although a bit forcefully.
"Did you hear that?"
"Yeah, Argus thanked us."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing."
"Is it the end of the world?"
"Hahahahahaha."
The students joked, and they all started laughing. Seeing this, Argus also smiled. Rex, noticing it, teased his friend.
"You should smile more, you know. It will make you more handsome." (Rex)
Argus just rolled his eyes at Rex. After that small event, Argus and his classmates went to the school's auditorium for the announcement from the Principal. Since Argus's class was the last one, they were seated at the back of the stage.
"Look, that's the 5th Class. They say that there are two Unique Class Awakeners."
"Yeah, I also heard that."
"Guess who they are?"
"The Twin Devils, right?"
"Wait, how did you know?"
"Isn't that already obvious?"
"You're right."
"Then what is the reaction of Dayn Cruzlo from Class 1?"
"Isn't he always pestering the Twin Devils, especially Argus, since he was afraid of Rex's background?"
"Yeah, he was also a Unique Class Awakener like the two. After he awakened, he declared that he would beat Argus now that he was awakened. I don't know if that's true."
"You're right. He boasts that his class is the Holy Guardian Knight. He said that he would let Argus hit him if he could break his defense. He is too arrogant. The reason why he is so arrogant is that Argus's class is a Summoner, an average class."
"Argus, on the other hand, is low-key. The only reason he became famous is that his enemies keep beating other people who want to get revenge on him. Now I don't know if he will still rise up like he did before."
"Now that Argus is awakened and a Unique Class at that, maybe he will become stronger, right?"
"Not really. Not all Unique Classes are strong, right? Some may have a strong phenomenon, but the class is weak. Or maybe even if the class is strong, the wielder is weak. And his class is Summoner, the so-called average class. If he tames strong beasts, then good, but if he can't, then it will be an average class even if it's a Unique Class."
"There are also cases where a weak class becomes strong, but only a slim chance that it will happen."
The students murmured to themselves. Argus and Rex ignored this and just found a place to sit. They were just about to sit when a young man approached them. The young man had a big muscular body, standing 2 meters tall, with golden hair and silver eyes. He had a below-average face, but he did not conceal his arrogance and condescending look. This man was Dayn Cruzlo.
"I heard that you are also a Unique Awakener, Argus Orpheus. I want to challenge you to a duel. Let's see if you can break my defense with your class. Hahahaha!" (Dayn)
"Here he is."
"He really challenged him."
"Is he afraid of being beaten?"
"Shh... Shut your mouth, or Dayn will hear you."
Argus ignored him and just sat down. Rex, on the other hand, looked at him like an idiot. Seeing this, a bulge appeared on Dayn's face. He was ignored. He looked around the auditorium and saw that many of the students were snickering.
"Are you afraid of my challenge?!! Now that we are both Unique Awakeners, are you afraid that you will lose to me?!!"
Dayn shouted. Many students who were watching shook their heads at his conduct. The Cruzlo family was also one of the big families, second only to the top four families of the Human Race. The Cruzlo family was a subordinate family of the Lumiere Clan.
{Flashback}
Dayn was the top student in their school batch before Argus and Rex met. Argus was not interested in competing and had an average rank. Rex did not transfer yet at that time. When Rex transferred, he beat Dayn, who was the top student in their batch
