"Classmates, you must take good care of the class emblem you awaken today and complete the tasks required by the emblem as soon as possible to unlock your profession!"
"Remember, do not hand over your class emblem to anyone. If someone tries to force you to transfer your emblem, report it to me immediately or call the police!"
"Lastly, if you're dissatisfied with your class emblem and wish to exchange it, I strongly recommend using official channels!"
On the podium, the homeroom teacher, Chen Daosheng, repeated the same words he had said countless times over the past few days. Yet, he had no choice—every year, a few students lost their emblems for various reasons, missing their chance to become professionals.
As a teacher, he had to tirelessly remind them again and again.
At that moment, in the back row by the window—the spot where talents often emerged—Lin Ye sat with a look of disbelief as he stared at the fiery red emblem in his hand.
"I've been reborn?"
He was stunned. After perishing alongside the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, he never expected to return to his student days.
And not just any day—it was the day of obtaining his class emblem!
It was also the day he made a mistake that caused him to lose the emblem that perfectly matched his talent.
"Flame Warrior! This time, no one will trick me into giving you up!"
Lin Ye gritted his teeth. The tragedy of his past life would never repeat itself.
But as fate would have it, the unexpected was about to happen.
[Unknown disturbance detected!!!]
[Your talent has been initialized...]
Lin Ye's eyes widened in shock.
What the hell?!
His talent, the S-rank "Flaming Body," was gone just like that?!
[You have awakened a new talent: "Healing Dominator" (??)]
"What the hell? A healer's talent?"
Lin Ye couldn't hold it in anymore—he never expected things to take such a ridiculous turn.
Reborn into this life, he now had to tread the same path as before.
In his previous life, he had exchanged his "Flame Warrior" class for Su Yaoyao's "Healer" class. That decision led to years of hardship for him, while Su Yaoyao soared to success with the "Flame Warrior" class, becoming the Rookie King of Shancheng City that year.
In the end, she left Lin Ye with just one sentence: "We don't belong to the same world," before effortlessly walking out of his life.
The healer profession had brought Lin Ye nothing but pain. Yet now, to his shock, his talent had been forcibly changed to this so-called "Healing Dominator"... Who could he even complain to?
"Lin Ye, are you okay? You look a bit pale," the homeroom teacher on the podium asked with concern, clearly noticing something was wrong.
All the classmates turned to look at Lin Ye, their eyes filled with curiosity, concern, and even flattery.
"Not feeling well? I have some calming pills here—want to try one?"
"You must've overexerted yourself in the Class Shrine earlier. Let me help you to the infirmary to rest!"
"If anyone's helping, it's going to be me! I, Xiong Da, will decide!"
"Huh? I'm feeling a bit dizzy too—can someone help me as well?"
"Infirmary? Why bother? Just come to my house—my bed is way more comfortable!"
"Ha! Mine's even better!"
The classmates were all overly enthusiastic, with some of the girls even openly offering themselves, sparking arguments among them.
There was no helping it. Yesterday during the talent awakening, Lin Ye was one of only two students in the entire school to awaken an S-rank talent.
Not only that, but today he had also obtained a class emblem with a 200% match in the Class Shrine!
It could be said that Lin Ye's starting point alone had already left his peers far behind, miles ahead of them.
In such circumstances, it was no wonder so many people were eager to curry favor with him...
However, as Lin Ye faced the enthusiasm of his classmates, he sneered inwardly.
Yes, they were indeed warm and attentive now. But how many of them would still treat him kindly after he lost the "Flame Warrior" profession?
It was nothing more than sycophancy to the strong and disdain for the weak.
"Mr. Chen, I'm fine. I just got a little distracted earlier… I'm sorry!" Lin Ye looked toward the podium and said these words to Chen Daosheng. That apology carried a weight of complex emotions!
There were those who flattered him when he stood tall, and those who lent a helping hand when he was at his lowest. Chen Daosheng was the latter.
As for the apology, it came from Lin Ye's guilt over ignoring Chen Daosheng's teachings in his past life.
Chen Daosheng frowned slightly, sensing something unusual about Lin Ye.
"As long as you're okay," he said, not pressing further and continuing with his lecture.
Lin Ye, however, had already lost interest in the class. He immediately began inspecting his new talent.
[Healing Dominator]
Trait 1: When your healing takes effect, there is a chance to gain permanent attribute points. There is a very low chance to acquire the target's talent.
Trait 2: When your healing takes effect, there is a chance to obtain a special item, "Soul Essence" (Soul Essence can be used to refine equipment traits).
Trait 3: All your healing spells only consume 1 mana point and require no casting materials.
Trait 4: Healing accumulates a "Healing Amount," which can be used to improve talent or skill ratings (Current accumulated healing amount: 0).
"Damn, this is amazing!"
Looking at the four traits of this talent, Lin Ye couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
This talent was completely overpowered!
Each of its four traits, taken individually, was comparable to an SSS-level talent. Together, they were equivalent to having four SSS-level talents combined.
With this realization, even giving up the "Flame Warrior" class in his hands didn't seem like such a big loss.
Although the healer profession had brought him countless painful memories in his past life, he couldn't deny that he had accumulated a wealth of experience as a healer.
In fact, later on, he had managed to transition into the hidden class "Flame Priest," achieving remarkable success in the end. It could be said that he had already grown accustomed to the healer profession.
Switching to another class would render all his hard-earned knowledge and experience meaningless.
For now, however, he faced a pressing issue:
Where could he find a healer class emblem?
Actually, this problem wasn't too difficult to solve...
After school today, someone would approach him with an offer to trade a healer emblem for his Flame Warrior emblem.
That person was Su Yaoyao!
And what was even more ridiculous was that in his previous life, Lin Ye had actually agreed to this absurd request.
Why? Simply because Su Yaoyao had said that if Lin Ye traded emblems with her, she would date him.
As it turned out, she had never intended to keep her promise from the start.
"This time, even if I have to destroy the emblem, I won't give it to you!"
Lin Ye clenched the emblem tightly in his hand.
Now, the real question was: where could he get a healer class emblem?
Lin Ye's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought of someone.
