Jiang Yixian swaggered back to the line, casting a triumphant glance toward Shen Mo.Along the way, students parted to make way, welcoming the school's first combat class profession.To everyone's surprise, Jiang Yixian had indeed gotten what he wished for!Could it be that one's profession choice was influenced by personal factors after all?Shen Mo sighed deeply. If he had known, he would have started training much sooner.To be honest, he had always dreamed of becoming a mage, commanding the elements in battle. And in this world, mages were highly respected.But due to the "barriers" between professions here, ice was ice, fire was fire.Each element belonged to a different category of combat professions, remaining separate and distinct. Aside from universal mage skills, one couldn't cross over and use skills from other professions.It wasn't like the games, where you could have a fire and ice combo…Moreover, most mage skills required incantations. Traveling alone and fighting enemies without protection was perilous, and death could come swiftly.Shen Mo glanced at Jiang Yixian. This guy might actually be better off dating a mage in the future… One as an attacker, the other as a defender—perfect balance..."Shen Bingning!"A gentle breeze lifted the girl's side hair, revealing her cool, composed face.True to her name, Shen Bingning was not just aloof, but utterly indifferent. Born into a prestigious family of mages, she was from a world far removed from Shen Mo's and the others.Unlike ordinary families, powerful clans often had methods to improve the success rates of certain professions.This was why, in her family, most of the descendants were mages, though the only difference lay in the types of mages they became.Shen Bingning excelled academically, and it was said that her admirers could fill the entire stadium.She took a slow step onto the Transmutation Platform and drew in a deep breath. At this moment, she was extremely nervous.Because for her, even if she awakened as a regular main combat profession, it would bring shame to her family.Under everyone's watchful eyes, the awakening began.Unlike the others, the platform did not immediately glow. Instead, it remained silent.Suddenly, a gust of fierce wind swept across the playground, and the temperature plummeted.Click... click...Out of nowhere, the clear sky darkened, and hail began to fall.The hail struck the ground like sharp blades, turning the entire playground into chaos.A few prominent figures fixated on the Transmutation Platform, their eyes never leaving the changing weather."Is a hidden profession about to appear?""It's ice-based! It must be ice-based!""With this phenomenon, it's guaranteed to be S-class!"Suddenly, all the hailstones converged toward Shen Bingning.They swirled above her head, like a fleet awaiting orders, forming a perfect ice vortex.A brilliant white light, dazzling enough to blind everyone present, shot through the sky, signaling to people miles away what was happening."S-class! Hidden profession! Main combat class, Ice Spirit Apostle!!"Principal Zhang Mingyuan nearly lost his voice, his shock evident. It had been years since he had seen an S-class profession, let alone a hidden main combat class!The entire school was stunned, unable to believe their eyes and ears. They were witnessing the birth of a hidden profession firsthand!The distinguished figures in the stands were practically leaning over the railing, eager to catch a glimpse of Shen Bingning.Shen Mo looked up. Xue Yifeng still sat unmoved, indifferent as ever...This was an S-class hidden profession! How could even this fail to stir Xue Yifeng?Was he really only here to support Zhang Mingyuan and keep the situation under control?"Congratulations, student! You are one of the very few to awaken a combat-based hidden profession in recent decades!"Principal Zhang Mingyuan was practically shaking with excitement, rubbing his hands together as he spoke,"It's an honor to be your teacher!"Zhang Mingyuan believed that Shen Bingning, in the not-too-distant future, would reach the same heights as Xue Yifeng.To his congratulations, Shen Bingning merely offered a polite smile.For her, this outcome was simply the heavy burden that had weighed on her shoulders finally being lifted.With a sense of relief, she walked back to the line with light steps."Alright, alright, everyone, calm down. Let's continue the ceremony."Principal Zhang Mingyuan worked hard to maintain order as the excitement continued to swell. He pulled out the roster again."The next student, Shen Mo!"Shen Mo was startled. Was it his turn already?This was it!First, Jiang Yixian's A-tier, then Shen Bingning's hidden S-tier…What chance did he have of getting the attention of the distinguished figures now?He had hoped that the gathering of so many influential people would ease the pressure on his college applications in the future.Now, it seemed that he would have to rely entirely on himself...Sigh… Now that those two had raised expectations sky-high, what if he awakened a life profession...No! No! No!He couldn't let his mind wander..."Shen Mo! Shen Mo?"He glanced at the excited figures in the stands and then at Xue Yifeng, still sitting unmoved like a mountain. With a shake of his head, he walked toward the Transmutation Platform."Shen Mo, don't be nervous. As long as you put in the effort, the results won't be too bad."Principal Zhang Mingyuan seemed to sense Shen Mo's anxiety and continued to help him calm down."Even a life profession can contribute greatly to society!"Shen Mo nodded. Principal Zhang, you're right... but maybe, just maybe, don't say that next time...He took a deep breath and placed his hand on the Transmutation Platform.He closed his eyes, focusing intently on the sensations.A cool breeze washed over him, like a spring breeze, and images flashed rapidly in his mind.He instantly recognized them as profession symbols.Each symbol corresponded to a particular profession.Combat class, support class, crafting class, life class...The four major categories were like the roots of a great tree, with hundreds of branches extending outward…This was transmutation?But he clearly remembered from his textbooks that only the profession corresponding to one's class would appear during transmutation…Why were there so many different symbols flashing before him? What did it mean?"Look! A rainbow!"A rainbow pierced through the clouds, cutting through the sky at the most unexpected time, drawing everyone's attention from Shen Mo to the vast horizon.The rainbow stretched across the sky, a bridge seemingly connecting the mortal realm to the countless stars.Unlike any rainbow they had seen before, it unfurled and expanded until it nearly covered the entire sky, turning into an immense curtain that blotted out the sun.In its seven-colored glow, faint stars shimmered as if passing through it could lead to the other side of the Milky Way."Wow! It's beautiful!"Boys and girls alike pulled out their phones to capture the extraordinary scene.But unlike the others, Shen Bingning furrowed her brow. She looked between the sky and Shen Mo, lost in thought.Within the rainbow, a picture began to emerge, like a painting unfolding across the sky, portraying scenes from the long river of history."Look! It looks like there are battle scenes inside!"Everyone fixed their eyes on the spectacle. Within the rainbow, there were glimpses of dungeons, raids, and the Abyss…It was as if the entire history of human combat was being projected in vivid snapshots, flashing by like a lantern show.Principal Zhang Mingyuan stood frozen, his eyes wide, unable to tear himself away from the sky.In his decades of educational experience, he had seen many rare sights, but nothing like this. What could it mean?The Transmutation Platform beneath Shen Mo remained silent. Zhang Mingyuan began to grow anxious.The distinguished figures in the stands murmured among themselves."Another hidden profession?""That rainbow… what kind of hidden profession could cause such a phenomenon?""Could this be a completely new hidden profession?""A new one? My word! This could really be the glory of our school!"At the VIP seats, Xue Yifeng finally stood up.He walked to the window, hands in his pockets, gazing intently at the rainbow, his brow furrowed.
