Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Sacrifice the School Belle to the Evil Dragon?
At this moment, all eyes in the field were on the teacher in charge of Fang Xiu’s Awakening.
Originally, this teacher had been rather pleased.
But when she saw the data on the machine’s panel, she froze.
"S... S... S..."
The teacher was stuttering.
"What’s with her?"
"We know it’s an S Level Talent, you don’t have to say it so many times, do you?"
"What Talent is it?"
"An S Level what? What comes after?"
The students below began to whisper among themselves.
Even some of the other teachers wanted to go over and see for themselves.
"Teacher Wei, what exactly is the Talent?"
A teacher not far away hurriedly asked.
But Teacher Wei shook her head. "No, it’s not S Level!"
"Huh? It’s not? Didn’t you just say it was S Level?"
That teacher was also taken aback.
"It’s not that I was just shaken... It’s an SSS Level Talent!"
Teacher Wei finally managed to speak normally.
"What? An SSS Level Talent?"
"How is that possible?"
"She must have read it wrong!"
"Do SSS Level Talents even exist in this world?"
"They do. Above S Level, there are SS and SSS Level Talents. They’re the strongest Talents."
’The strongest?’
’My god.’
’What kind of monster has our school Awakened?’
Hearing this, everyone lost their composure.
They knew that a phenomenon appearing meant an S Level Talent.
But they never dared to imagine someone could Awaken an SSS Level Talent.
"You... you stole my SSS Level Talent!"
Just then, Lu Yu’Er could no longer hold back and roared at Fang Xiu, who was standing beside her.
Her outburst stunned not only Fang Xiu but also the other students for a moment.
"Isn’t that the school beauty, Lu Yu’Er?"
"What does she mean, he ’stole’ her SSS Level Talent?"
"I think it was Fang Xiu’s turn just now, but she went in first."
"How can you call that stealing? The Talent you Awaken isn’t based on luck."
"Well, what can you do? Lu Yu’Er Awakened a D Level Talent. She’s probably been driven mad by jealousy."
After their brief shock, the people around them began to whisper.
No one had expected that after Awakening a D Level Talent, Lu Yu’Er would go and cause trouble for Fang Xiu, who had kindly let her test first.
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Lu Yu’Er felt a little embarrassed.
But her anger made her forget her embarrassment.
"If it weren’t for your false kindness in letting me go first, you would have been the one with the D Level Talent, and I would be the real one with the SSS Level Talent!"
Lu Yu’Er seemed determined to shock everyone with her words.
Something like Awakening doesn’t depend on the order of testing.
While there might be some luck involved, it relies more on one’s own potential.
Lu Yu’Er’s potential was insufficient. No matter when she Awakened, she would only have gotten a D Level Talent.
Even if she had switched back with Fang Xiu, it still would have been D Level, not SSS Level.
Fang Xiu knew this, the teachers knew this, and all the students present knew this as well.
Even Lu Yu’Er herself knew it.
But she refused to admit it.
Their grades were similar, their looks were comparable, so on what grounds could Chu Qingxue Awaken an S Level Talent while she only got D Level?
Though the two letters are adjacent on a keyboard, in terms of Level, they were worlds apart.
Fang Xiu said nothing, only frowning slightly.
"Fang Xiu. SSS Level Talent. Dark Element. Sacrificial Master."
Just then, Teacher Wei, who was in charge of the test, suddenly spoke up.
When her voice fell, the entire field went silent.
SSS Level?
That was enough to surprise, even shock people.
But what truly silenced them was... Dark Element, Sacrificial Master.
"Dark Element? Sacrificial Master? SSS Level? HAHAHAHA..."
Lu Yu’Er, who had been about to continue holding Fang Xiu responsible, froze for a moment when she heard the Profession, then burst into ruthless laughter.
The reason was simple.
The Sacrificial Master was the most useless Awakened Profession, bar none.
Even Awakening as a Life System Blacksmith or Tailor was better than a Sacrificial Master.
The reason was simple: a Sacrificial Master’s Talent ability was Sacrifice.
To Sacrifice all sorts of useful things to the Gods in exchange for power or other treasures.
But things that mortals considered precious were not necessarily liked by the Gods.
If a Sacrificed item was not approved by a god, not only would one not receive a treasure, one might even be punished.
There was once someone who Awakened the Sacrificial Master Profession, and after a Sacrifice, their offering wasn’t accepted. A so-called god took one of their legs.
Others had even lost their lives because of it.
Sacrifice was like a game of chance.
How could a mortal possibly guess the minds of the Gods?
The strongest SSS Level Talent, and it Awakened into the most useless Sacrificial Master?
"Damn, what a waste!"
"Yeah, an SSS Level Talent, and all he gets is a Sacrificial Master?"
"If he makes a mistake with a Sacrifice, he could lose his life!"
"But if he doesn’t Sacrifice, a Sacrificial Master has no abilities at all. Their Awakened Talent *is* Sacrifice!"
"That’s why this Profession is the absolute worst!"
"..."
After the initial shock, many students began to whisper among themselves again.
Not far away, Chu Qingxue glanced at Fang Xiu, her thoughts unreadable.
"Heh."
As the crowd was expressing their surprise and whispering, Fang Xiu let out a cold laugh.
If he had truly only Awakened the Sacrificial Master Profession, he might have been depressed.
Even with an SSS Level Talent, a Sacrificial Master was still useless.
But Fang Xiu wasn’t the least bit surprised.
Just a moment ago, Fang Xiu had already become aware of his own Profession.
...when the system Awakened.
At that moment, Fang Xiu looked at the Awakening Array in front of him. On it was a gemstone.
Fang Xiu recognized it. It was a Demon Crystal from a Demon Beast.
It was a Crystal Stone formed from the refined Energy contained within the corpse of a Demon Beast after its death.
And now, a piece of data was displayed above this Demon Crystal.
[A Low Tier Water Demon Crystal. It holds some value in the right hands. The Goddess of Life is missing a bead on her bracelet. Sacrifice it to her, and she will be a little pleased and grant you a reward.]
Besides that, there were other prompts appearing in other places.
A Demon Crystal of another Attribute on the ring of a teacher beside him!
A string of seemingly ordinary beads around the principal’s neck!
And... staring at him from not far away... Lu Yu’Er!
This surprised Fang Xiu somewhat.
A prompt had also appeared over Lu Yu’Er!
[A D Level Fire Mage. Her combat power is pathetic, but her looks are quite exquisite. Moreover, she is still a virgin. If you Sacrifice her to the greedy Evil Dragon Fafnir, it will surely be pleased and grant you a reward.]
"Fafnir?"
Fang Xiu knew that Fafnir was a dwarf from Northern European mythology who later transformed into a greedy Evil Dragon.
’To think that this Lu Yu’Er could actually be Sacrificed to it!’
