Chapter 1 Awakening the Pupil Master

Clicking in means you've already been controlled by Kotoamatsukami, so your mind is completely blank.

Lin Xingjian, male, 18 years old, a time traveler.

Three years ago, I was transported to this world where everyone changes jobs.

In this world, everyone awakens to their profession at the age of 18.

For example, combat professions, support professions, crafting professions, and so on.

Today is the day of awakening.

Lin Xingjian stood in the waiting area, her back ramrod straight.

Three years have passed, and this day has finally arrived.

"Hoshimi! Stay calm! You can definitely do it!" A rough voice rang out from below the stage.

Chen Rui stood in the front row of the viewing area, waving his arms vigorously with a bright smile on his face.

Su Mingyuan, who was standing next to him, smiled and nodded vigorously without saying a word, but his eyes were more powerful than any words.

Lin Xingjian glanced at his two best friends and nodded with a smile.

Chen Rui, a combat profession, is a B-rank Berserker.

Su Mingyuan, a combat professional, is an A-level Balance Controller.

Both of them awakened decent combat professions, especially Su Mingyuan, who awakened an A-level combat profession.

In this world, combat professions represent a bright future!

Su Mingyuan and Chen Rui also look forward to Lin Xingjian's awakening.

"Lin Xingjian, Class 7, Grade 12!"

The broadcast started.

Lin Xingjian took a deep breath, took a step forward, and walked through countless gazes that were either curious, scrutinizing, or subtly competitive, until he arrived at the center of the circular platform.

"Concentrate your mind, communicate with the crystal, and release your true nature." The instructor's voice was calm and even.

Lin Xingjian closed her eyes and gripped the crystal ball tightly with both hands.

The three-year period has come to an end!

Buzz—

A faint light flashed.

Lin Xingjian: Rank F, Pupil Master (Reconnaissance Support Type)

As the Awakening Master announced it, Lin Xingjian trembled violently.

All professions are further divided into SSS, S, A, B, C, D, E, and F levels.

Lin Xingjian's awakened pupil magic master is the lowest-level branch of the support professions—the F-level reconnaissance profession.

If Lin Xingjian had traveled back in time a few hundred years earlier, then the pupil magic master might still be somewhat useful.

After all, technology wasn't advanced back then.

However, with the development of the times, the reconnaissance profession of Pupil Master has long been replaced by technology.

Their status is even lower than that of ordinary professions!

Three years!

More than a thousand days and nights of hard work...

In the end, this is what we got?

F-class?

Or is he the most useless pupil magic user?

A pure support character that doesn't even have a decent attack skill?

Strengthening basic eyesight?

What use is this in a world teeming with monsters and filled with hidden realms?

Do you want to see how the monster will tear you apart?

"Pfft..."

From some unknown corner came a low, suppressed laugh.

Then came the second, the third… low snickers spread like wildfire.

"Rank F? A pupil master?"

"What an unlucky kid..."

"It seems like his profession is the most useless since he awakened."

"........"

The students' comments made Lin Xingjian feel even more depressed.

He sighed.

Perhaps not every time traveler can become the protagonist?

He slowly walked down from the awakening platform.

I just stepped down the last step.

A figure suddenly rushed in front of him.

It was his best friend, Su Mingyuan.

"Hoshimi! Hoshimi, look at me!"

Su Mingyuan's voice was anxious as he grabbed Lin Xingjian's wrist tightly.

His face showed no trace of the relaxed smile he had worn in the viewing area, only pure worry.

"Don't listen to them! So what if you're an F-rank? So what if you're a pupil mage? Classes are static, but people are dynamic! We..."

His words came to an abrupt end.

Because Lin Xingjian raised her head.

His gaze went past Su Mingyuan's shoulder.

It landed a few steps away on Chen Rui, the man who had once put his arm around Chen Rui's shoulder and sweated alongside him.

Chen Rui stood there, his body appearing somewhat stiff.

He avoided the gaze that Lin Xingjian was casting.

That once passionate face was now filled with an extremely complex expression.

There was still lingering shock, a distinct awkwardness, and an unconscious sense of alienation.

It was a silent declaration: We are no longer the same.

His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just pursed them awkwardly.

"Mingyuan." Lin Xingjian's voice rang out.

His gaze swept over Chen Rui's face, which was filled with unfamiliarity and estrangement, before returning to Su Mingyuan's anxious face, and the corner of his mouth twitched very slightly.

"You don't need to comfort me, I know the truth in my heart..."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the exit passage on the side of the stadium.

In this world where power reigns supreme.

At the moment of awakening, the world's social classes were already clearly defined.

The gap between combat and support types, the insurmountable barrier between F-rank and B-rank and A-rank.

In this world where awakening determines destiny, there is a harsher and more unforgiving law than any other.

Friendship?

love?

Faced with the stark reality of the future and power, it is as fragile as a sheet of paper soaked in water.

Lin Xingjian was already very gratified that Su Mingyuan treated him the same as before.

Unlike Chen Rui, whose eyes were as cold as a stranger's.

Given Su Mingyuan's personality, he would definitely try his best to take him under his wing.

Therefore, he decided to drop out of school.

He didn't want to be a burden to anyone, especially a friend who truly cared for him.

"Xingjian! Wait! Don't be impulsive!" Su Mingyuan panicked and turned to chase after her.

"Mingyuan!" Chen Rui's voice suddenly rang out.

He grabbed Su Mingyuan's arm tightly, so forcefully that Su Mingyuan stumbled.

"What are you doing?!" Su Mingyuan glared at Chen Rui.

Chen Rui's eyes quickly glanced at Lin Xingjian's back.

Then quickly retrieve it.

He leaned close to Su Mingyuan and shouted, "Stop chasing him! Wake up! We and him... are no longer from the same world!"

We're not from the same world?

hehe.

Lin Xingjian twitched the corners of his mouth and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Without pausing, I walked through the crowd toward the side door of the stadium that led to the ordinary world outside.

"Tsk, an F-rank pupil master? That's some incredible luck..."

"Reconnaissance support? What's the use? It's not even as good as a livelihood job! At least a livelihood job can support you! Reconnaissance jobs have long been replaced by machines!"

"I heard he trains really hard? Too bad he's unlucky..."

"He's not bad looking. He'll probably only be able to work in the logistics department, or serve as a human telescope for those big shots, haha..."

"That's tragic..."

The voices in the crowd were not loud.

Some felt sorry for it, some were amused, but most felt a sense of indifference and condescending superiority.

Lin Xingjian's steps did not falter at all.

But just as he reached the entrance of the stadium—

【bite!】

A crisp system notification sounded.

[Congratulations, host, on awakening the strongest eye technique system!]

[New Player Gift Pack Activated!]

[Achieve ultimate eye technique: Kotoamatsukami!]

[Pupil power infusion begins... Adaptation and modification initiated...]

"Buzz—!!!"

Lin Xingjian's body suddenly stiffened!

It felt as if an invisible giant hammer had struck the top of my head!

An indescribable, excruciating pain erupted from the depths of his eyes without warning!

"Ugh—!"

His vision went completely black for a moment.

His body completely lost control, convulsing violently. His knees buckled, and he collapsed heavily to the ground with a thud!

He covered his eyes tightly with both hands, and blood seeped silently through his fingers.

a long time.

Lin Xingjian's hands, which were covering her eyes, suddenly fell limply to the cold ground.

He was breathing heavily.

My body was still trembling uncontrollably.

But the devastating pain seemed to recede as quickly as the tide.

He slowly raised his head.

My vision is still a little blurry.

He blinked hard.

The blurry vision gradually cleared.

The first thing that catches the eye is the smooth, mirror-like metal door panel.

That cold, metallic surface.

At this moment, a handsome face, yet filled with pain and astonishment, was clearly reflected in the mirror.

And those eyes.

His pupils were no longer the usual dark brown.

It is a pure, extreme blood red!

In the center of this blood-red landscape, a dark, sickle-like pattern slowly rotates!

Kaleidoscope Sharingan?!

Lin Xingjian recognized his current eyes at a glance!

etc?!

There are also other gods?

Just as Lin Xingjian was about to check the attribute panel in his mind.

Exclamations of surprise rang out from inside the stadium.

Immediately afterwards, a loud phoenix cry resounded throughout the entire stadium without warning!

"Oh my god!!!"

"What is that?!"

"Look at the Awakening Platform!"

All eyes were focused on the awakening platform.

A beautiful woman with long black hair in a high ponytail and fair skin stood quietly before the Awakening Crystal.

That was Xuan Li, the school beauty of Lin Xingjian's class.

She was already beautiful and refined, and now she was completely enveloped by a pillar of light that reached the heavens and the earth!

The huge light screen next to them, after flashing wildly a few times, suddenly burst out with an unprecedented golden light!

[Xuan Li: SSS-rank, the Phoenix Speaker of the End!]

Dead silence.

Everyone's pupils dilated to the maximum, and their mouths opened unconsciously.

Only the phoenix's cry, filling the heavens and earth, resounded in everyone's ears.

SSS-level?!

Is it a combat class?!

Legend has it!

The ultimate rare legendary class!

“The End…The End of the Phoenix Whisperer…” Principal Zhou Ming’s voice was hoarse and trembling.

His face instantly lit up with ecstatic joy!

Just like the onlookers at the scene.

It's going crazy!

"SSS-rank! My God! What am I seeing?!"

"The Phoenix Speaker of the End! Phoenix! It is the power of the Phoenix!!"

"Goddess Xuan! Goddess Xuan is invincible!!"

"........"

The gasps, screams, and frenzied shouts, like a boiling tsunami, instantly engulfed the entire stadium.

As for Lin Xingjian, whose eyes have mutated.

Who would care about an F-rank pupil master?
