Class 1, Grade 3
The atmosphere in the auditorium was charged with excitement as the students of Class 1, Grade 3 stood in eager anticipation for their career awakening. Noya Ruhena stepped forward, feeling a mix of anticipation and anxiety as the first student to enter the job transfer formation. The moment she entered, a warm, iridescent light enveloped her, signaling the start of her transformation.
"Combat profession (Grade A): Fire Mage!" the voice announced with a resonant clarity.
As the brilliant light faded, Naya's eyes sparkled with triumph. A proud smile spread across her face as she realized she had awakened the same prestigious profession as her father. This was not just a career choice; it was a legacy—and she was ready to carry it forward.
With a confident stride, Noya Ruhena stepped off the platform, her heart racing with excitement. She felt a surge of fiery determination coursing through her veins; she was destined for greatness. This was just the beginning of her journey, and she couldn't wait to prove herself as a formidable fire mage.
"Just like you, Dad," she whispered to herself, feeling a deep connection to her roots as the admiration of her classmates washed over her. The sense of expectation fueled her ambition, and for the first time in a long while, she felt truly at home in her own skin.
"Next up, Idris!"
Idris sprinted forward, his forehead gleaming with sweat. He stepped into the formation, anticipation coursing through him. But as another wave of light erupted around him, a sense of dread began to creep in.
"Lifestyle Occupation: Blacksmith."
Idris's expression fell, disappointment washing over him like a cold wave. He had longed for a more adventurous path, and being a blacksmith felt like an anchor tying him to the ordinary. With an exasperated sigh, he exited the platform, his heart heavy with unfulfilled dreams.
"That's, um, great, Idris," Noya Ruhena offered, trying to infuse some enthusiasm into her voice, but her own excitement felt miles away.
"Fariha."
"Amir."
"Yasmin."
Each name called brought a mixture of hopes and aspirations, with Noya Ruhena's bright spirit contrasting sharply against Idris's melancholy.
One after another, students entered the formation, each revealing their new careers. Jimin noticed the lack of combat professions awakening and couldn't shake the feeling that the principal's earlier claims were far from reality.
"Next, Layla Al-Fahim."
A hush fell over the crowd as all eyes turned toward her. Layla was not only renowned for her striking beauty but also for her exceptional academic prowess—a powerful combination that had everyone intrigued. As she walked past Jimin, she threw him a confident smile. "Get ready to see real skill in action, Jimin. I'll prove to everyone that shadows can be just as bright."
Amir shrugged, a slight grin on his face, fully aware of Layla's competitive spirit. He admired her boldness but felt no need to compete. Today was about celebration, not rivalry.
Stepping into the formation with grace, Layla was enveloped in an ethereal darkness that shimmered like starlight. A dramatic hush swept across the room, anticipation crackling in the air. A swirling vortex of shadows surrounded her, an aura of mystery unfolding.
"Main Combat-Type (SSS Grade) Hidden Profession: Night Shadow Assassin!" The announcer's voice rang out, echoing through the auditorium like a thunderclap.
The crowd erupted into cheers and gasps, and an electrifying wave of admiration surged through her classmates.
"Unbelievable! An SSS-level Night Shadow Assassin!" a voice exclaimed from the crowd, eyes wide with amazement.
Principal Aziz, beaming with pride, stepped forward, his presence commanding attention. "Layla Al-Fahim, you are destined to wield great power. Embrace your role and become a protector of our realm."
"I will not disappoint you, Principal!" Layla responded, her voice strong and determined. She walked back to her classmates, the glow of her achievement illuminating the way.
As she returned, envy and admiration intertwined among her peers. Layla knew she had set a high bar, and she felt the fire of ambition igniting within her. This was not just about her success; it was the beginning of a journey into darkness that she was eager to explore.
"Next, Samir Al-Nasr."
Samir stepped forward with a determined stride, his confidence radiating as he entered the formation. The anticipation of his classmates hung in the air, and after a moment in the light, he emerged with a proud grin.
"Main Combat Occupation (B Grade): Solar Gladiator!"
While not a legendary or rare profession, the Solar Gladiator possessed remarkable combat abilities that intrigued many. Samir recognized that with unwavering dedication and training, he could surpass everyone's expectations and carve a name for himself.
As he returned to his classmates, however, Samir's brow furrowed slightly. He had secretly hoped for a more prestigious title, one that might elevate his status within the social circle, particularly given Layla's impressive awakening.
"Next up, Amina Al-Zahir!"
Amina walked confidently to the formation, excitement shimmering in her eyes.
"Main Combat Occupation (A Grade): Shadow Dancer!"
The crowd erupted in cheers, acknowledging the rarity of her profession. Amina spun elegantly upon her return, the shadows following her as if enchanted.
"Wow! A Shadow Dancer! That's incredible!" Samir exclaimed, genuine admiration lighting up his face.
"Thank you!" Amina beamed, knowing she had claimed a powerful title that would earn her respect among her peers.
"Now it's time for the one everyone has been waiting for… Jimin Lightbringer!"
Jimin's name reverberated through the auditorium, and a hush enveloped the crowd. Curiosity and excitement radiated as every gaze fixated on him. Murmurs erupted as spectators speculated on the remarkable potential he might awaken.
As Jimin stepped into the formation, the weight of anticipation hung heavy in the air. This was his opportunity to shine.
"Come on, Jimin! Show them what you've got!" Rayan called out from the sidelines, his voice laced with enthusiasm.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Shu entered the formation, letting the light embrace him in its warm glow.
"Main Combat Occupation (A Grade): Summoner!"
A range of reactions surged through the audience. Some wore expressions of disappointment, while others conveyed sheer delight, reveling in the unfolding drama.
Jimin was desperate that he had awakened the most random profession because it had a 50% chance of summoning an F-grade summon as the first beast and only a 1% chance of summoning an A-grade beast.
Ali Braham let out a relieved chuckle, "At least you didn't end up with something worse!" he shouted, half-teasing, half-supportive.
Just when Jimin was beginning to feel anxious about what lay ahead, when he was reviewing his Abyssal System Panel, he was shocked that he had awakened an SSS Grade Talent (The Heart of the Truest Summoner).

Just as Jimin was immersed in his joy of awakening an SSS Grade Talent, a cold, mechanical female voice echoed in his mind.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Jimin felt the urge to leap into the air.
However, he quickly composed himself and focused on accessing the system within his consciousness.
