"Mr. Mo, it seems like this ice beauty has her eyes on you."
Fang Datong noticed Shen Bingbing's fleeting glance and instantly, playfully, nudged Chen Mo with his elbow.
Chen Mo gave a helpless smile and responded, "Stop talking rubbish."
While they were talking, the second group had already entered the Awakening Array.
It was the number one members from Class Two and Class Four.
This group's luck was quite poor. Both awakened one-star lifestyle professions.
One of them, a Blacksmith, was slightly better off as it would be easier to find a job.
The other, a counterfeit money checker, received an outlandish profession. Besides distinguishing counterfeit money, it was unclear what other uses it had.
From their expressions, it was evident they were quite dissatisfied with their awakened lifestyle professions.
Initially, it was assumed that Shen Bingbing awakening a four-star combat profession was a good start, meaning Seaside Second Middle School might produce a few more promising prospects this year.
But unexpectedly, it peaked right at the start.
Following that, several groups went up in succession, all awakening professions no higher than two-star.
Fortunately, about sixty percent of them awakened combat professions, which was not a low proportion.
As the sixth members from Class Two and Class Four entered the Awakening Array, it was finally Chen Mo's turn.
However, at that instant, an astonishing sight erupted above Class Four's sixth member.
CRACK!!!
A thunderous explosion ripped through the air. A large, spectral figure of a muscular man holding a spear materialized in mid-air. He thrust his spear, and it tore through the sky like lightning, possessing a world-piercing might.
Immediately, four stars descended one after another, entering the student's body.
A four-star combat profession—Dragon Spear Knight!
Another four-star combat profession was born! Shen Rulong, the Principal of Seaside Second Middle School, could hardly contain his joy.
In previous years, one four-star professional alongside two three-star professionals was already considered a huge achievement.
Although most students hadn't performed exceptionally well this year, the emergence of two four-star combat professions—from Shen Bingbing of Class One and Li Jiaran of Class Four—meant Seaside Second Middle School could finally deliver a satisfactory report card!
Shen Rulong couldn't help but think, If I could get a few more promising students, our Seaside Second Middle School might have a chance to advance to the next tier.
"Damn, another four-star! It was already great to see one in previous years. What's going on today? Not even half the students have awakened, and there are already two?"
Fang Datong was somewhat shocked.
Chen Mo also seemed rather surprised, and at the same time, a vague unease settled in him.
With two four-star professions appearing before me, can I still awaken a high-star one?
Chen Mo had no time for further thought; Su Tianxin had already called his name, asking him to come up.
"Go for it, Mr. Mo! I'm counting on you! Get a five-star and wow everyone!"
Fang Datong instantly cheered when he saw Chen Mo preparing to step up.
"I hope your good words bring me luck."
With that said, Chen Mo, his heart pounding with nervousness, stepped into the so-called Awakening Array.
I'm not asking for a five-star profession. A decent three-star one, maybe a bit above average, would be enough.
Chen Mo prayed silently. At the same time, the number seven student from Class Three also stepped into an Awakening Array.
Chen Mo glanced at this student. With a limited number of students in their year, he knew most of them.
This girl from Class Three, Yan Yingyue, had the best training results in her class, even surpassing their top male student.
It was already remarkable for a girl to match a boy's pace in physical training, let alone surpass them. This clearly showed her diligent everyday efforts.
With such willpower and foundation, Chen Mo felt her chances of awakening a high-star profession were quite high.
However, today, she seemed to be as unlucky as he was, as two four-star professions had already appeared.
Considering Seaside Second Middle School's track record—where it was rare for even two four-star professions to appear in a single year—they were likely to awaken professions below four-star.
While Chen Mo was lost in thought, the Principal raised his Magic Wand and pointed it forward. The Awakening Array immediately emitted a peculiar glow.
An even more astonishing change occurred.
Chen Mo saw the entire sky suddenly blaze with dazzling light. The clouds, as if drawn by some gravitational force, rapidly and bizarrely converged, forming a colossal white cloud that blanketed Seaside Second Middle School.
However, at this moment, no one noticed the change in the clouds. Everyone's attention was drawn to the girl from Class Three, the number seven student, who was next to Chen Mo.
As she awakened, a sacred light blazed within her Awakening Array, so dazzling it compelled everyone to look.
"Heavens, could it be a high-star healing-type profession?"
It was unclear which teacher shouted this. Principal Shen Rulong immediately exclaimed excitedly, "That's right! This sacred aura—it's definitely a high-star healing-type profession!"
Before everyone could recover from their shock, a miraculous phenomenon occurred. Across all the students, hidden illnesses, latent injuries, minor wounds, and even scars began to heal miraculously.
"A materialized phenomenon! It's definitely a five-star profession! Absolutely a five-star profession!"
Just as everyone was basking in the warm, healing radiance of the sacred light...
BOOM!
A terrifying thunderclap exploded in the sky. An alarming bolt of lightning, incredibly, aimed to strike the sacred light.
In an instant, Principal Shen Rulong, the two Vice Principals, and all the school's teachers were filled with immense rage.
"Our Seaside Second Middle School might not have the fortune to produce a five-star professional, but we've still made more than thorough preparations!
Those damned Aliens! They're courting death!!!"
As the Principal spoke, his figure transformed into a streak of light, dashing towards a group of young women at the school gate.
Before these women could react, Principal Shen Rulong pointed his Magic Wand. Instantly, a dozen wind blades materialized, tearing through the air towards one of them—a woman wearing a distinctive necklace.
"Hmph. Now that I've been discovered, the fun's over. I'll be going."
The woman smiled faintly, and a dull grey stone appeared in her outstretched right hand.
"A Homeward Stone! Old Liu, seal the space!"
At Shen Rulong's sharp command, Vice Principal Liu Anfu immediately understood. He threw out an enchantment stone, intending to seal off the area.
However, the woman's expression remained unchanged. She drew a dark dagger with her left hand and waved it casually. The next moment, her figure vanished before their eyes.
"Damn it! Her dagger can apparently cut through enchantments!" Liu Anfu landed beside Shen Rulong, saying with frustration.
"Forget it. Homeward Stones are hard to come by. The Alien side wasted one, so that's one less hidden operative causing trouble for us." Seeing that their target had fled, Shen Rulong said no more and returned directly to the center of the field.
Meanwhile, the phenomenon in the sky had just concluded!
The sacred light was seen converging, then transforming into five stars that descended from above Yan Yingyue's head and entered her body!
Instantly, a line of large words appeared above Yan Yingyue's head!
[Congratulations on successfully awakening your unique initial profession, the five-star healing-type profession—Holy Spirit Priest!]
All five-star initial professions are unique. Awakening any one of them is an extraordinary feat, hence the public display by the Great Dao!
