After stepping down from the magic circle, Jason Xu's close friends gathered around, offering him words of comfort.
"Leo Zhang!"
The named Leo Zhang jogged quickly into the class advancement array.
Once again, a dazzling brilliance lit up the scene.
[Life-Oriented Class: Chef]
Leo Zhang 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."
"Bob Hang."
"Jack Niu."
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 Support Classes, but main combat-type ones were rare.
As more and more students went through the process, Charles Lu's expression grew increasingly grim.
Standing beside Charles Lu was Max Zhang, 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," Max Zhang remarked.
Charles Lu sighed in response, "Yeah, still no rare class so far."
Max Zhang 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."
Charles Lu chuckled. "True. Across the whole of West Sea City, you might only see one or two rare classes per year. I was hoping for too much."
"Snow Xia!"
Charles Lu called out another name.
Snow Xia responded and stepped forward.
Before walking into the array, she glanced back at Mark Lin, a glint of provocation in her eyes.
She and Mark Lin were known as the two top geniuses of No.1 High School.
But in terms of academic performance, Mark Lin had always edged her out. Snow Xia had always been second place.
That had left her with a deep-seated resentment. She wasn't the type to accept defeat.
Mark Lin 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!"
Snow Xia strutted confidently into the class advancement array like a proud swan.
Max Zhang, who had kept his eyes closed until now, suddenly opened them to glance at her. "This girl's not bad."
Charles Lu 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!
Charles Lu 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.
Charles Lu 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, Charles Lu 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, Snow Xia 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-Tier Elemental Mage could wipe the place off the map with a single forbidden spell."
"She truly deserves the title of genius!"
Snow Xia stepped off the platform, equally ecstatic.
Max Zhang made a point to praise her, "Young lady, you've done well."
Charles Lu's face bloomed with joy, grinning ear to ear.
Snow Xia respectfully bowed to Max Zhang. "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 Support 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 West Sea might see one a year, sometimes two.
Now, both Snow Xia and Sam Su—whom Charles Lu often spoke about—had rare main Combat Classes.
"Mark Lin!"
Hearing his name, Mark Lin lifted his foot and walked calmly toward the array.
Snow Xia watched him closely, her gaze filled with competitive fire.
Charles Lu asked, "Master Zhang, what do you think of this one?"
Max Zhang glanced at Mark Lin. "Other than being unusually calm, I don't see anything special."
Charles Lu replied, "Our school has two top talents. Snow Xia, who just went, is second. He's first."
Max Zhang said flatly, "Academic scores don't correlate directly with class advancement. You know that."
Charles Lu 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?"
Charles Lu stared in shock. "What's going on?!"
Max Zhang locked his gaze on the array. "Anomalies."
Class Advancement Anomalies!
Charles Lu 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 support or combat?
"Impossible! I won't lose to you!"
Snow Xia 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.
