Five years later
In the big mansion, Long Zhen is getting ready in his room.
"Sigh"
He sighs in defeat.
"Why does my mother want me to tag along for my brother and sister's awakening?"
Students who pass the theory exam can awaken their profession afterward. However, many oppose this awakening ceremony because they believe it could harm the talent of future generations.
According to the Federal Alliance, pre-awakening won't affect talent it will help identify high-class professions sooner before university admission.
When a young awakener enters university one or two semesters later, they often find themselves in a dungeon due to a lack of experience, and many high-class awakeners lose their lives.
This allows elite awakeners 1-2 years to master their skills before participating in university dungeon trials, thereby reducing fatalities among S-class students. This saves the Federal Alliance many years and resources.
Pre-awakening also benefits students who awaken a common-class profession, these students can mentally prepare themselves, enroll in the appropriate university field, and create a bright future for themselves.
⟦Tsk~ I have an insecure host.⟧
Long Zhen narrowed his eyes.
"What did you say? I am feeling insecure about my brother and sister awakening. Why would I feel insecure if they awaken to a high-class profession?".
⟦Stop lying, look at yourself, your eyes telling me you are scared of your brother and sister awakening a high-class profession. At least tell me why you are scared?⟧
"If they awaken high-class profession, both of them will bully me during training, others also bully me or compare me with my brother and sister to satisfy their insecurity".
⟦You're thinking too much, no one will bully you, believe me. Your brother and sister won't let anyone bully you. However, many will talk about it behind your back⟧
"So, you also believe, I will awaken a common class profession, maybe even worse than that".
⟦You— When the hell did, I say that?⟧
Suddenly, the room door opened with a bang.
"Why are you still not ready for your brother and sister's profession awakening? Do you not want to attend it, little Zhen?".
A middle-aged man entered the room with a big smile on his face and patted Long Zhen's head.
"Dad, it's not like I don't want to attend the awakening ceremony. However, people around me just ridicule me and compare me with my brother and sister to satisfy their insecurity".
Long Zhen shook his head in disappointment.
Jin Long's gaze warmed. "Son, never measure your worth by other's words. They've shackled their potential. However, your hard work and dedication will help you achieve what those useless people can never achieve in their whole life, okay?".
Long Zhen nodded down. "Yes, Dad, I understand".
"Then let's go and support your brother and sister in their profession awakening".
.....
A few minutes later, the Long family reached Feng Shi City Middle-High School. Where a profession awakening ceremony is held.
Around the school, there are many other parents' cars. Who also come to support their children at the awakening ceremony.
As the Long family emerged from the car, many onlookers' eyes locked on them. The people glaring at them in envy—not because they own a luxury car. However, the school principal and faculty members stood waiting to receive them personally.
Xiao Dou pressed his palms together and offered a respectful bow, "Sir Long, I am deeply honoured by your presence for attending the ceremony".
With a smile, Jin Long said, "I am grateful for the principal to personally attend us. However, I request the principal— might we walk beside other parents as equals on this common ground?".
Many faculty members are silently laughing in their minds.
"Tsk~ as a long family twin sibling homeroom teacher, he won't let me receive them and try to carry Favor from these big shots. Now he's getting slapped by them".
"Good, thinking he is the principal, so he can easily create the connection with the long family, just dream on you bald donkey".
Many other faculty members are insulting him in their minds.
Not feeling dejected, Xiao Dou smiled, "Sir Long, the school prepares a VIP lounge for elites. I hope you guys use the VIP lounge and enjoy the awakening ceremony. Many other great families have already settled down in the VIP lounge, and we are especially waiting for you to start the ceremony".
Jin Long nodded down. "Fine, then we moved to the VIP lounge".
As they entered the school, they saw many slogans to motivate students.
At the back of the school Federal Alliance created a stadium to conduct awakening and spar between students.
At the centre of the stadium, a large stone stage was set up for student-sparing sessions, and many people down there setting up a huge crystal for awakening.
Before coming to their private lounges, they meet many government officials and great families.
However, they saw many envoys from different universities, guilds, and sects around the stage.
Long Zhen frowned, "Why is the envoy of the university, guild, and sect around the awakening stone rather than sitting in the VIP lounge?"
Wang Meilin patted his head, "When a genius awakener appeared, to recruit it as soon as possible, those envoys are standing there. However, those envoys' superiors are sitting in their private VIP lounge".
A loud voice came from the ground.
Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for waiting.
Now the awakening circle is finally set up.
We are going to conduct a Profession awakening ceremony.
When the name is called, the student gets on the stage and puts their hand on the crystal to awaken their profession.
The student's name starts getting called majority of them tremble in fear. However, many of them get on the stage with a confident look but return with regret.
The stage was filled with mixed emotions. The students who had achieved a common grade profession were looking dejected, and they were glaring at other students who had achieved a unique grade profession with hate and jealousy.
There are four grades of profession.
Common Grade
Unique Grade
Rare Grade
Legendary Grade
Legendary grade was the highest grade for a profession to know in all history, and Common grade was the lowest one.
Common grade, also known as trash grade for a profession, because a common grade profession awakener is mostly a farmer, a chef, a gardener, etc.
These professions are not suitable for fighting on the front line, that's why people take them as a useless profession.
However, the school principal and many other city officials are not satisfied with the results because when an awakener attains a rare or legendary-grade profession, the city to which the awakener belongs, the Federal Alliance, provides them with more resources, and the city's rank also increases.
Long Zhen leaned towards his seat and looked down on the stage, "It's so boring, when will brother and sister turn?".
He looked toward his parents, their facial expressions were tense.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar name being called up on the ground.
Long Haotian, please get on the stage for the Profession awakening.
⟦Host tongue is jinx ⟧
"Just shut up", he said in an annoyed tone.
He patted his parents' shoulders, "It's okay, he will awaken a high-class Profession, believe me".
After hearing Long Zhen, both of them took a deep breath to calm their nerve.
Long Haotian placed his hand on the crystal for a few seconds, but nothing happened. Many onlookers gazed at him in surprise, while some looked on with pity. The crystal's lack of response indicated that Long Haotian was non-awakened, destined to remain a mortal for his entire life.
Jin Long closed his eyes in regret as he couldn't do anything for his son.
Wang Meilin was on the verge of crying.
Long Zhen still can't believe his eyes.
⟦You guys judge others too fast. ⟧
He looked at the system in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"
The ground starts trembling, and the temperature in the environment starts rising at an unimaginable rate.
The sky turned bloody red, and the land dried up.
A demonic-like creature's hands rise from the ground, and then their whole body appears from the ground, while tearing the ground apart.
Many people want to resist it, but they can't even move an inch.
However, a man who looks like a god levitating appears in the sky, his long hair is crimson red, and he is completely shirtless.
He looked down on the demons with rage, and with an earth-shattering voice, he descended towards the ground.
KILL!!!!
Hundreds of fists also descend from the sky.
"Heaven and Earth Destruction Fist"
The fists landed upon the demon, and in fear, everyone closed their eyes quietly waiting to get perished with demons.
