Lu Fan nodded, but he didn't take Bai Hengjian's words too seriously.
He returned straight to his own class. Around him, many classmates looked at him with sympathy or pity.
Lu Fan silently pulled up his character panel to check his stats after the class transition.
Name: Lu Fan
Level: 10
Class: Dragon Tamer (First advancement)
Strength: 21
Agility: 26
Spirit: 24
Endurance: 23
Pet: None
Equipment: None
Skills:
Dragon Taming (Active Skill, LV1) — Allows you to tame dragon-type creatures and turn them into pets. (Note: Only effective on dragons.)
????? — ???...
…
There were four other skills listed, but none of them were unlocked. Lu Fan couldn't use them at all.
Clearly, those were dragon-related skills as well, and without a dragon, they couldn't be activated.
Which meant, compared to before the class transition, Lu Fan's combat power hadn't improved one bit.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan felt a wave of frustration—was he really going to spend this life selling buns with his aunt?
He could endure hardship, sure. But what pained him was his aunt. She had worked so hard to put him through school, and in the end, she wouldn't even get a chance at a better life...
…
Soon, the Class Scroll Ceremony ended. The students—each with their own joys and sorrows—headed home.
The following week was a long pre-exam holiday.
Everyone could use that time to level up and get familiar with their class skills, in hopes of achieving a good score on the Big Exam.
Lu Fan also returned home—his home was in the old district of Jianghai City.
Downstairs was a bun shop. Upstairs was a modest two-bedroom apartment. That's where Lu Fan and Han Ke lived.
At the moment, the shop door was half open, which meant it was closed.
Lu Fan entered the shop and went straight upstairs.
As soon as he got to the top, he caught the mouthwatering scent of food.
"Auntie, I'm back," Lu Fan called out, forcing himself to sound cheerful as he tossed his backpack onto the couch.
Just then, there was movement in the kitchen. A beautiful woman in her mid-twenties stepped out, her hair tied up, holding a plate of steaming hot dishes.
Her skin was flawless—smooth like peeled eggshells—and her features were delicate, no less stunning than the celebrities Lu Fan had seen in his past life.
And her figure? Absolutely perfect—there was nothing to nitpick.
"You're back, Xiao Fan? Go wash up. Dinner's ready," she said with a warm, infectious smile that instantly swept away the gloom clouding Lu Fan's heart.
This beautiful woman was none other than Lu Fan's aunt, Han Ke.
Though she was only eight years older than Lu Fan, she was just twenty-six now—right at the prime of her life, with her youthful charm just giving way to mature allure.
In Jianghai City, she was a local celebrity known as the "Bun Beauty." Despite raising Lu Fan singlehandedly with great effort, her skin and figure had never once deteriorated. Compared to the pampered daughters of wealthy families, she was even more radiant.
To Lu Fan, the biggest blessing after reincarnating was ending up with such a gorgeous and gentle aunt.
"Yeah, coming now." Lu Fan smiled, washed his hands, and sat down at the dining table.
By then, the table was already full of dishes—remarkably rich and well-prepared.
Han Ke was a fantastic cook. Her food looked, smelled, and tasted amazing.
Of course, since the meals weren't made from recipe scrolls, they didn't restore HP or offer any bonuses. They were simply delicious.
Lu Fan's appetite was fully roused. As he picked up his chopsticks, he asked, "Auntie, why'd you make so many good dishes today?"
"Hehe, because today's a special day." Han Ke untied her apron, set it aside, and sat across from Lu Fan, smiling brightly. "It's the day you transitioned classes!"
"So? Did it go well? What class did you get?"
At the mention of this, a hint of disappointment flickered across Lu Fan's face.
Han Ke noticed his low spirits right away and immediately realized that the ceremony probably hadn't gone well.
Her expression turned serious, and she quickly tried to comfort him. "What's wrong? Did you not get a very good class?"
"It's okay, really. If you transitioned into a combat class, I'd actually be worried about your safety—going out to grind monsters and run dungeons. Honestly, getting a life-skill class might be better, don't you think?"
Lu Fan gave a bitter smile and told her the truth: "I did get a combat class. In fact... it's a hidden class."
"Huh?!" Han Ke was stunned. Then pure joy lit up her face, and she almost leapt out of her seat. "Really?! You not only got a combat class—it's a hidden one?!"
"I knew it, Xiao Fan! I knew you had it in you! You're going to be way more successful than me. No—your auntie doesn't even deserve to be compared to you!"
As much as Lu Fan hated to rain on her parade, he couldn't just sugarcoat things.
"Auntie… my class is Dragon Tamer. Though it's a hidden combat class, without a dragon, it's less useful than even a basic life-skill class…"
He let out a sigh as he finished.
Han Ke stiffened for a moment, but her expression didn't show much disappointment. Instead, she quickly reached out to comfort him.
"Dragon Tamer… it's alright, Xiao Fan."
"It just proves you're really gifted. Otherwise, how could you have awakened a hidden combat class? It's just… your luck isn't the best, that's all."
