After stepping down from the magic circle, Xu Da's close friends gathered around, offering him words of comfort.
"Zhang Li!"
The named Zhang Li jogged quickly into the class advancement array.
Once again, a dazzling brilliance lit up the scene.
[Life-Oriented Class: Chef]
Zhang Li beamed with satisfaction. "My dad's a chef too. Didn't expect I'd become one as well. Guess I'm carrying on the family trade."
"Hang Wen."
"Niu Da."
One by one, students stepped into the array to undergo class advancement. Most of them turned out to have Life-Oriented Classes.
Occasionally, there were a few Auxiliary Classes, but main combat-type ones were rare.
As more and more students went through the process, Lu Yun's expression grew increasingly grim.
Standing beside Lu Yun was Zhang Qian, the master responsible for setting up the class advancement array. He had a clear understanding of everyone's results.
"These students this year are pretty average," Zhang Qian remarked.
Lu Yun sighed in response, "Yeah, still no rare class so far."
Zhang Qian snorted, "Rare class? When was the last time your school even produced one? Even getting a high-level main Combat Class would be a miracle."
Lu Yun chuckled. "True. Across the whole of Xihai City, you might only see one or two rare classes per year. I was hoping for too much."
"Xia Xue!"
Lu Yun called out another name.
Xia Xue responded and stepped forward.
Before walking into the array, she glanced back at Lin Moyu, a glint of provocation in her eyes.
She and Lin Moyu were known as the two top geniuses of No.1 High School.
But in terms of academic performance, Lin Moyu had always edged her out. Xia Xue had always been second place.
That had left her with a deep-seated resentment. She wasn't the type to accept defeat.
Lin Moyu completely ignored her provocation. His demeanor remained calm and indifferent, as though he hadn't noticed a thing.
"Hmph, I'll show you who the real genius is!"
Xia Xue strutted confidently into the class advancement array like a proud swan.
Zhang Qian, who had kept his eyes closed until now, suddenly opened them to glance at her. "This girl's not bad."
Lu Yun blinked in surprise. "Why do you say that, Master Zhang?"
"Her mental strength is more than twice that of an ordinary person. There's a good chance she'll become a Mage."
A Mage!
Lu Yun immediately perked up.
A Mage was a high-level main Combat Class! None had appeared so far this year.
And if it turned out to be a special kind of Mage, it might even qualify as a rare class.
The array activated. Brilliant light flared.
From the glow, two enormous fireballs suddenly rose, exploding like fireworks.
Lu Yun trembled with excitement. "A phenomenon—this is a rare class!"
When a phenomenon occurred, it meant a rare class had been born.
[Main Combat Class (Rare): Elemental Mage.]
At that moment, Lu Yun was overwhelmed with emotion. Just minutes ago, he had said that rare classes were a luxury. Now, as if fate had heard his wish, it had already been granted.
"Whoa, Xia Xue is amazing! She actually got a rare Combat Class!"
"An Elemental Mage! That's a top-level class. I heard that once you level it up, the firepower becomes terrifying."
"Exactly. In cities like ours, a god-level Elemental Mage could wipe the place off the map with a single forbidden spell."
"She truly deserves the title of genius!"
Xia Xue stepped off the platform, equally ecstatic.
Zhang Qian made a point to praise her, "Young lady, you've done well."
Lu Yun's face bloomed with joy, grinning ear to ear.
Xia Xue respectfully bowed to Zhang Qian. "Thank you for the praise, Senior."
Back among the crowd, her classmates quickly surrounded her, bombarding her with questions.
A main combat-type rare class—those were like phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Classes weren't just divided by type but also by tier.
Life-Oriented Classes didn't have ranks.
But main combat and Auxiliary Classes were divided into Low, Mid, High, Rare, and Legendary tiers.
Legendary classes were practically mythical—barely one would appear in a decade, even in the whole Divine Summer Empire.
Rare classes were more common. A city like Xihai might see one a year, sometimes two.
Now, both Xia Xue and Su Qianxing—whom Lu Yun often spoke about—had rare main Combat Classes.
"Lin Moyu!"
Hearing his name, Lin Moyu lifted his foot and walked calmly toward the array.
Xia Xue watched him closely, her gaze filled with competitive fire.
Lu Yun asked, "Master Zhang, what do you think of this one?"
Zhang Qian glanced at Lin Moyu. "Other than being unusually calm, I don't see anything special."
Lu Yun replied, "Our school has two top talents. Xia Xue, who just went, is second. He's first."
Zhang Qian said flatly, "Academic scores don't correlate directly with class advancement. You know that."
Lu Yun nodded. Of course he knew. But he couldn't help feeling hopeful.
If another rare class appeared…
That would be beyond amazing.
The array activated, emitting a brilliant light.
Suddenly, the once-bright sky darkened. In the blink of an eye, dark clouds gathered overhead.
Cold winds howled from every direction. The temperature plummeted.
Day turned into night, like the end of the world.
"Why is it getting windy?"
"There's so many clouds!"
"Didn't hear anything about rain. And why's it so cold?"
Lu Yun stared in shock. "What's going on?!"
Zhang Qian locked his gaze on the array. "Anomalies."
Class Advancement Anomalies!
Lu Yun nearly cried out. This level of anomalies—he'd never even heard of it before.
Something this dramatic had to mean a rare class—anything less wouldn't make sense.
The only question was, would it be auxiliary or combat?
"Impossible! I won't lose to you!"
Xia Xue clenched her fists. The phenomenon here was far greater than hers.
Though she refused to accept it emotionally, she had to admit—just from the scale of it—she was being outshined.
