Chapter 840: Today Is the Day of Awakening (Part 2)

Zhou Huai's mind let out a hum, and he was completely dazed.

"Haven't I already awakened as a Professionals?" He blurted out subconsciously, "Did I not awaken an E-Rank Clone Master, get mocked by Liu Yuru and Lu Qi, and then get driven out of the Zhou Family gates… Hasn't this already happened?"

The smile on Uncle Fu's face stiffened for a moment, and he sighed.

"Young Master, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Uncle Fu sighed and gently comforted him, "You are just too nervous and mistook the scenes in your dream for reality."

"Today is the day you will truly go to school to attend the class transfer ceremony and become a real Professionals."

Hearing these words, Zhou Huai looked blankly at Uncle Fu.

"A dream… Is all of this really just a dream before my class transfer?"

Sunlight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, dappling the floor.

Zhou Huai silently turned over and got out of bed.

His legs stepped onto the soft wool carpet, transmitting a realistic tactile sensation. He lowered his head to look at his legs; there was no disability, no wheelchair, and no pain from any curse.

But he stood in place, frowning.

He looked around. The bedroom was spacious, bright, and luxuriously decorated. Yet something was missing from the room.

As for what exactly was missing, he completely could not remember.

His mind was separated by a layer of thick frosted glass, completely cutting off important things.

"Could it be that I am too nervous?"

Zhou Huai rubbed his swelling temples, stopped thinking about Uncle Fu's words from just now, and turned to walk into the bathroom.

After a simple wash, he changed into a crisp casual outfit, pushed open the room door, and came to the first floor.

In the spacious dining room, the aroma of century egg and lean pork porridge and fried eggs permeated the air.

Beside the long dining table, his father, Zhou Feng, was browsing today's morning paper. His mother was serving heated milk onto the dining table.

Zhou Huai walked downstairs, and his mother smiled and greeted him.

"Huaier, come over and eat breakfast quickly. Today is a big day for the class transfer; you must eat your fill to have strength."

Zhou Huai pulled out a chair and sat down. With his parents being loving and harmonious, the sense of discord in his heart was washed away by warmth.

Here, there was no fate-altering attack, his mother was still alive, and there was no Liu Yuru in the Zhou Family.

Everything was so perfect.

Zhou Feng put down the newspaper and looked at his son with a smile.

"Son, don't have too much pressure today." Zhou Feng smiled to cheer him up, reached out and patted his shoulder, "Our Zhou Family has had superior genes for generations. With your foundation, you can transfer to become an S-Class Professional!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Feng's smile grew even thicker.

"You might even awaken an SS-Rank!"

"If you really transfer to become an SS-Rank Professional, your grandfather will definitely die of happiness. The status of our Zhou Family in Donghai City can also rise to another level!"

The mother on the side put on a long face.

She threw a reproachful glare at Zhou Feng and reached out to push a plate of delicate pan-fried dumplings in front of Zhou Huai.

"As a father, stop putting pressure on Huaier here."

"When it comes to class transfer, three parts depend on talent and seven parts depend on luck; how can it be forced?" His mother turned her head and said gently to Zhou Huai, "Huaier, don't listen to your dad's nonsense. Even if your luck is bad today and you only transfer to the lowest-level E-Class lifestyle profession, it doesn't matter."

"Our Zhou Family cannot be considered some heaven-reaching great noble family, but supporting you for a lifetime and letting you live a stable, wealthy life is still not a problem."

Facing his mother's caring gaze, Zhou Huai felt warmth in his heart.

"Mom, don't worry." Zhou Huai took a sip of warm milk and smiled, "I definitely won't let you down."

Right at this moment, crisp footsteps sounded from outside the door.

"Uncle Zhou! Auntie Zhou! Good morning!"

Accompanied by the crisp greeting, Ye Xi hopped and skipped in.

The person who came was none other than Ye Xi.

Today, she was wearing a white pleated skirt matched with a light blue sailor-collared short-sleeve, appearing lively and cute.

Her high-tied single ponytail swayed gently with her footsteps, and her snow-white skin shimmered with a translucent luster under the morning light. Her eyes were lively, her nose bridge was upright, and her lips were rosy.

Even though Zhou Huai had grown up with her since childhood, looking at this girl, he couldn't help but praise her in his heart.

"So it's Xi'er who has come. Quick, sit down and eat together." His mother pulled Ye Xi over, smiling from ear to ear.

"I've already eaten, thank you Auntie." Ye Xi walked over to Zhou Huai's side with a grin and naturally pulled out a chair to sit down.

After listening to the conversation of the three people just now, she patted her chest.

"Auntie Zhou, you can rest assured completely!"

"Even if Zhou Huai-gege has bad luck today and transfers into a low-level Professionals, he won't be bullied in the future!" Ye Xi raised her chin with a serious expression, "Because I will protect him in the future!"

Zhou Huai cursed with a smile.

He put down his chopsticks and deliberately put on a straight face.

"Hey, you little girl, your tone is quite big."

"I, a dignified big man, where would I need a little girl like you to protect me?" Zhou Huai reached out and pinched her tender, white cheeks, saying proudly, "I should be the one protecting you instead!"

Being pinched on the cheeks by him, Ye Xi didn't dodge; instead, she giggled.

"Alright, alright, then Zhou Huai-gege, you must protect me well in the future, and you aren't allowed to go back on your word!"

"That goes without saying." Zhou Huai nodded without hesitation.

After breakfast, the two of them accompanied each other into the Zhou Family's black commercial car, driving toward Donghai City No. 1 Advanced High School.

Along the way, Ye Xi chattered endlessly about her yearning for the future. Zhou Huai leaned against the seat, looking at the street scenes flashing past outside the window, smiling without speaking.

The thought of having forgotten something was completely thrown to the back of his mind.

On the playground of Donghai City No. 1 Advanced High School, voices were buzzing and it was boisterous.

A huge class transfer magic array stood in the center of the playground, emitting a magical halo.

Nearly a thousand senior high school students were neatly arranged in class formations, everyone's face filled with nervousness and anticipation.

The surrounding viewing platforms were filled with recruitment representatives from major guilds and school leaders.

The principal stood on the high platform, his voice spreading across the entire venue through a magical loudspeaker, carrying out the final mobilization and encouragement before the class transfer.

"Next, Class 3, Zhou Huai!"

With the class transfer guide's loud shout, the gaze of the entire audience focused over.

As the young master of the Zhou Family, a prestigious family in Donghai City, Zhou Huai was naturally a prominent figure at school. Whether it was family background or his usual basic test scores, he was always at the top.

"It's Young Master Zhou's turn. What level of profession can he awaken?"

"Does it even need to be asked? With his foundation, it's at least an A-Rank combat profession to start!"

Under the gaze of countless people, Zhou Huai had a calm expression as he walked step by step onto the three-meter-high class transfer stage.

He stood right in the center of the magic array.

"Relax, place both hands on the Awakening Stone, and close your eyes." The guide prompted gently.

Zhou Huai followed suit, pressing both hands on the huge crystal emitting a dim blue light.

Hum—!

The next second, an anomaly suddenly occurred!

The originally dim blue Awakening Stone suddenly erupted with a purple-golden beam of light!

This beam of light directly pierced through the clouds above the playground, shooting straight into the firmament!

Roars intertwining thunder and stars resounded in the sky, and vast magical coercion enveloped the entire Donghai No. 1 High School!

The originally noisy playground quieted down.

Everyone widened their eyes and opened their mouths wide, gazing at the tall and upright figure bathing in starlight on the class transfer stage.

"This… What level of heaven and earth anomaly is this?!"

"A purple-golden beam of light… Heavens! This is… This is the legendary SS-Rank anomaly!"

In the VIP seats, the representatives of major guilds stood up in unison, their faces filled with fanaticism and shock.

The mechanical prompt tone of the System echoed across the entire playground:

[Congratulations to Awakening Professionals Zhou Huai, successfully transferring to the SS-Rank hidden profession—Stellar Archmage!]
