Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Su Yaoyao Panics

Class emblems are items that every talent-awakened aspiring professional can obtain in the Profession Temple. Generally speaking, as long as luck isn't too bad, one can get a class with a 100% compatibility rating with their talent. The higher the compatibility, the greater the strength boost.

If the compatibility between talent and class reaches 150% or higher, then in official resource allocation evaluations, the talent will automatically be upgraded by one level.

If it reaches 200%, the talent will be upgraded by two levels!

However, such cases are extremely rare—so rare that among ten thousand people, you might not even find one.

Lin Ye's situation, however, was even more exceptional because his talent was at the S level.

To elevate an S-level talent by two levels meant reaching SSS level, the pinnacle of all talents!

This granted him the treatment reserved for top-tier talents.

Otherwise, his classmates wouldn't be so eager to fawn over him at this moment.

In fact, Lin Ye could distinctly feel the burning gazes constantly lingering on him, gazes so intense they bordered on absurd.

How absurd?

In his previous life, on this very night, no fewer than ten girls had come ringing his doorbell. Some came alone, others came in groups, and in the most extreme case, one even brought her own mother along!

But the very next day, when they learned that Lin Ye's profession had changed from Flame Warrior to Healer, they all disappeared without a trace.

Recalling these events, Lin Ye simply smirked faintly.

Compared to the hardships he had endured in his past life, these matters weren't even a speck of dust on his shoulders.

They were just passersby, irrelevant and incapable of affecting him in the slightest.

Before long, class ended.

Lin Ye immediately followed behind Chen Daosheng as he left the classroom.

Walking briskly, Lin Ye arrived at Class Two.

The moment Lin Ye appeared at the door of Class Two, many students inside immediately brightened up at the sight of him.

"Lin Ye's here! He must be here to see Su Yaoyao!"

"Ugh, I'm so envious! Yaoyao is so lucky to have a guy like Lin Ye…"

"But... isn't it true that Su Yaoyao has always been cold toward Lin Ye? And I heard she's still dating Liu Zhengjie from Experimental High School, isn't she?"

"You're just jealous! Stop spreading nonsense!"

"If you keep spouting lies, I'll rip your mouth off!"

It was no secret in Shancheng High School that Lin Ye had been quietly pursuing Su Yaoyao. Some people even mocked him in private, calling him a "simp" or "Shancheng's most devoted fool."

But now? Who would dare laugh at Lin Ye anymore?

Even Su Yaoyao's gaze toward Lin Ye had changed completely.

At this moment, she looked at him as though he were her last hope for salvation!

Her talent, A-level Fire Element Affinity, was actually considered quite decent. However, today at the Profession Temple, she had obtained a Healer's emblem, with a compatibility of only 60%—far below the standard 100%.

If she chose to become a healer, her career as a professional would essentially be over.

Of course, her situation wasn't entirely hopeless. She could easily use the healer's emblem to trade for a common mage emblem on the official platform. With that, her compatibility would rise back to a decent 100%, like most people.

But everything changed when she learned Lin Ye had acquired the Flame Warrior class.

While her talent was more inclined toward spellcasting, the Flame Warrior shared an elemental affinity with her abilities. Moreover, it was a rare class, and she estimated that the compatibility could reach 150%.

With that, her talent rating could potentially rise to S-level, setting her up for meteoric success!

Why did she think she could pull this off?

That was a question only Lin Ye could answer.

Su Yaoyao knew one thing for sure: as long as she asked, Lin Ye would do anything for her—even give up his life!

A mere profession emblem—what's the big deal?

Amid the compliments from the people around her, Su Yaoyao stood up, crossed her arms, and lifted her chin, looking at Lin Ye as though she were a proud queen inspecting her loyal subjects.

But Lin Ye had already walked into the classroom. Under everyone's gaze, he completely ignored Su Yaoyao and strode straight to another girl.

"Li Fei, come with me!"

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the scene. Su Yaoyao, in particular, widened her eyes in utter disbelief.

That damned guy! I stood up and waited for you, and yet you went to someone else?

"Me?"

Li Fei looked at Lin Ye in confusion, completely unsure why he was approaching her.

"Come on! Go somewhere with me," Lin Ye said as he grabbed Li Fei's hand.

Li Fei was utterly stunned, clueless about what was happening.

But as her hand was held tightly by Lin Ye, her knees went weak. She could only follow him, her head spinning.

As she glanced at Lin Ye's handsome profile, her cheeks turned bright red, and she lowered her head shyly, letting herself be led out of the room.

"Lin Ye! Stop right there!"

At that moment, Su Yaoyao exploded.

She was fuming, on the verge of blowing a fuse. She couldn't believe Lin Ye had the audacity to walk off with another girl right in front of her.

And to make matters worse, the girl was none other than the one she hated most—Li Fei!

Li Fei, who overshadowed her in everything: academics, talent, even looks and figure.

The only thing they had in common was that they had both received healer profession emblems in the Profession Temple today.

But even in this regard, Li Fei's profession compatibility was still higher than Su Yaoyao's!

This was enough to make Su Yaoyao furious.

Now, with Lin Ye holding Li Fei's hand and leaving, it only added fuel to the fire.

Lin Ye stopped in his tracks.

Seeing this, Su Yaoyao let out a cold snort. She knew it—Lin Ye wouldn't dare disobey her!

But she was still fuming.

If Lin Ye didn't apologize to her in front of the entire class, there was no way she would forgive him easily.

However, the next moment, she saw Lin Ye lean over and whisper something in Li Fei's ear.

Li Fei blushed deeply and nodded, and then Lin Ye simply pulled her along and ran out of the classroom.

Su Yaoyao was completely dumbfounded.

"What… what's wrong with Lin Ye?"

"Could it be that he's fallen for Li Fei?"

"But wasn't he always chasing after Yaoyao before?"

"Maybe he's doing it on purpose to make Yaoyao mad?"

"Could be! Definitely! It's all because Yaoyao was too cold to him before!"

"Even so, isn't Lin Ye going too far by doing this? I think he shouldn't be forgiven so easily!"

Hearing the chatter from the girls around her, Su Yaoyao's expression gradually softened.

"I won't forgive him! Unless he comes to me and apologizes sincerely, I won't ever look at him again!" Su Yaoyao said angrily.

"Exactly! That's the right attitude! I'm sure he'll come back to you!"

"Yeah, he'll definitely come back. Otherwise, what would happen in the future?"

Listening to their words, Su Yaoyao puffed up her cheeks in anger as she glared at the door.

But for some reason, a sinking feeling began to settle in her heart.

Could it be… Lin Ye really wasn't going to come back to her?

If that happened, what about the Flame Warrior emblem she wanted?

Su Yaoyao had to admit, she was starting to panic...
