The moment I stepped forward, the air shifted. The orb in the center of the altar started glowing softly, like it had sensed my approach.
The priestess and goddess both stood quietly, watching me. Everyone else was still standing in groups, whispering to each other, throwing glances my way.
The orb floated slightly above a pedestal, surrounded by a ring of carved stone symbols. It looked like glass, but the inside shimmered like swirling mist mixed with stars.
Elira raised her hand. "Place your palm on the Orb of Appraisal. It will reveal your skills and ranking."
I didn't say anything.
I walked forward.
My shoes echoed on the smooth floor. The rest of the class watched closely now, maybe expecting something cool… or maybe just waiting to laugh.
Rishi gave me a thumbs-up from behind. I smirked a little.
As my hand touched the orb, it turned gold for a second—then flickered rapidly between colors. The room filled with a low hum. A series of symbols circled my wrist like tattoos made of light.
Then…
> DING!
> [Appraisal Complete]
> Name: Rudra
> Class: Nomad
> Skills:
> – [Observation] (E-Rank)
> – [Calm Mind] (E-Rank)
> – [Instinct] (E-Rank)

> Overall Rank: E
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Then the laughter started.
"Haha! E-rank?!"
"Bro got meditation skills!"
"He doesn't even have a class?!"
"What's 'Calm Mind'? Is he gonna breathe deeply and win battles?"
Even Rishi blinked in shock, unsure what to say.
The orb dimmed. The priestess frowned and tilted her head. The goddess Elira looked… blank. Not disappointed. Just uninterested.
"An E-rank," she said softly. "How unfortunate."
The priestess nodded. "You may step back. The next one, please."
That was it.
No grand speech. No sudden twist. Just that.
I turned and walked back slowly, my face neutral, ignoring the chuckles and whispers. Rishi patted my back. "Don't be so down bro, you don't need listen to them,"
I smiled a little. "What are you even talking about bro, do you think I would take those idiots' words at face value, infact this this is actually the best class for me, now I can enjoy my life peacefully."
Inside, I felt calm. Too calm. Like all this was happening exactly how it was supposed to.
That's when I heard strange murmurs in my ear, murmurs that were audible only to me.
I looked towards my right ear as I said, "Now now, don't get angry, you know I wanted this right?." I said as I waited for response and said, "See I knew you would understand, you always know what I want," I said as I went to the back.
---
One by one, the others stepped forward.

26. Rishi (MC's close friend)
Rishi stepped forward slowly. He glanced toward Rudra briefly, gave him a small grin, then placed his hand on the orb.
> [Appraisal Complete]
> Class: Guardian
> Skills:
> – [Shield Wall] (B-Rank)
> – [Taunt] (B-Rank)
> – [Unbreakable Stance] (A-Rank)
> Overall Rank: B
A steady golden light surrounded him.
"Whoa, a Guardian class!"
"Man's built like a tank now!"
Rishi chuckled. "I guess I'm the wall now, Rudra."
The priestess gave a warm smile. "Steady heart, strong will. A protector's soul."
The goddess nodded once, but her attention quickly shifted away again—clearly more interested in the S-Ranks.
Rishi returned to his place beside me and whispered, "No matter what you got, I've got your back. Always."
A moment later—everyone except Rishi surrounded me as everyone except Rishi started laughing at me
It started from someone at the back, then spread like wildfire.
"He's got E-Rank right?!"
"Wait, that's even lower than D?"
"Nomad? What kind of trash class is that?"
"Bro got the 'Please don't die in the forest' starter pack!"
Arjun smirked. "Guess every game needs an NPC."
Riya giggled with her friends. "He looks like he downloaded the demo version."
Imran let out a full-blown laugh. "Bro's stats look like a rejected side quest just like who he is!"
Someone added in a fake announcer voice, "You are now the proud owner of the most useless class ever!"
Rishi tried to stop them from picking on his friend, he felt pity for me yet he didn't laugh. His eyes flicked to me, unsure what to say. But he stayed quiet.
I didn't say anything. My face stayed blank. I wasn't ashamed. I wasn't broken. I just stood there, letting their laughter echo off the stone walls.
Here's the modified version of your paragraph, updated to match the tone, mockery, and dialogue from the earlier section:
---
Elira didn't meet my eyes this time. Her tone was flat. "You'll be sent to a starter village. The outer region. Reserves stay there until they're... needed."
The priestess gave a small nod, as if confirming paperwork.
The goddess didn't even spare me a glance.
One by one, the others turned away, walking off in noisy groups—laughing, comparing skills, pretending they hadn't just mocked someone seconds ago.
I stood there alone.
Rishi wanted to stay by my side, but he had no choice.
The goddess had made it clear—he was going with the rest.
The chamber felt colder now.
The divine light above had dimmed.
Like it had decided I wasn't worth the shine.
I looked down at my hand.
No divine blessing.
No legendary class.
Just E-rank scraps.
And yet... my chest didn't feel heavy.
I wasn't trembling.
I wasn't broken.
I was calm.
Because deep down...
I knew this wasn't the end.
It was just the beginning.
> "You think I'm weak?
> That's cute."
I scanned the room, slowly turning my head, making sure no one else remained.
Not even the priestess.
Not even a guard.
Good.
My eyes narrowed.
"…Why don't you show me my real status window now, Darling~" I said quietly.
A small sound rang—like glass being tapped—and then:
> [System Access: Confirmed]
> [Restriction Removed]
> [Real Status Window Unlocked]
A soft blue screen blinked into existence in front of me.
Different from before.
Sharper.
Darker.
My breath hitched—but just for a second.
Then I smiled.
