Chapter 3: Painstaking Enlightenment

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Looking at Su Ce beaming with joy beside him, Gao Zhenhai didn’t know how to comfort him.

Su Ce was the most outstanding student he had ever taught.

Before this, he had thought many times that the class Su Ce was most likely to awaken was definitely Mage.

However, Gao Zhenhai didn’t expect that Su Ce would awaken the Dragon Tamer class, the rarest class among the Mage classes.

Unfortunately, the requirements to mature as a Dragon Tamer were too high. Not to mention Su Ce, even the son of the city lord might not be able to capture a dragon to tame.

In his opinion, Su Ce must be upset and didn’t want to look dejected in front of everyone, so he forced a smile to disguise the grief in his heart.

“Su Ce, come to my office.” Dean Huo Shan was the first to react. He concealed the disappointment in his heart and calmly told Su Ce to go to his office.

After all, there were too many people in the Awakening Ceremony. Huo Shan was really worried that this prideful little fellow would be completely depressed because of this.

Looking at Su Ce leaving with the dean, everyone had mixed feelings.

Although he was suffering now, as the Awakening Ceremony continued, they might also have the same helpless experience!

In the upper right corner of Leyton Academy, inside the dean’s office…

Huo Shan looked at Su Ce regretfully. After a while, he said, “Su Ce, don’t be too sad.

“Although dragons are like gods in the world and are difficult to tame, this isn’t your fault. Don’t be depressed because of this.

“After all, even if we can’t tame dragons, we can still target those dragon subspecies, right?”

Huo Shan glanced at Su Ce, who was still expressionless, and felt a little guilty after saying this.

After all, even most dragon subspecies were overlords of a region. They needed several Rank 3 and 4 Professionals to deal with them.

But with Su Ce’s strength and family situation, it was impossible for him to subdue any dragon subspecies.

He only said this to comfort him.

After all, Huo Shan had seen Su Ce’s hard work over the past three years. He couldn’t just watch him gradually become depressed.

Su Ce looked at the dean respectfully and thanked him sincerely, “Dean Huo Shan, thank you for your concern. Although the requirements for the Dragon Tamer class are extremely high, I will continue to work hard until I succeed as usual.”

“Hmm… That’s good. Even if we can’t contract a dragon, we can still try to tame other low-level summoned beasts. There’s always a way out. As long as we don’t give up, we can turn the tables,” Huo Shan said while patting Su Ce’s arm and then took out a blue card from his pocket.

“Su Ce, I’m very happy that you think that way. Take this admission card to the western suburbs as a reward for your tenacious spirit. You can go to the low-level mining area over there to mine some ores and earn some living expenses.”

After handing the admission card to Su Ce, Huo Shan reminded with a serious expression, “However, I have to remind you that there are monsters in the western suburbs mine. For safety reasons, don’t go to the high-level area in the depths. There are monsters above Level 10 there!”

Holding the admission card, Su Ce said excitedly, “Thank you, Dean. I will definitely work hard to improve myself and not disappoint you!”

He didn’t expect that after the dean found out that his awakened class was Dragon Tamer, not only did he not show any disappointment with him, but he showed even more concern for him, as if he was his family!

This made Su Ce feel very grateful to the dean.

After leaving the dean’s office, Su Ce returned to an empty classroom.

After putting on his backpack and coat, Su Ce took another look at the square where the Awakening Ceremony was still ongoing and then rushed home without looking back.

After he participated in the Awakening Ceremony, it meant that he had graduated from Leyton Academy, and the courses and studies would gradually slow down. After a month, all the students would participate in the examination. After the examination, students would be assigned to higher-level schools and institutions based on their examination results.

At that time, the academy would issue a diploma to each student.

But to Su Ce, after the Awakening Ceremony, the subsequent steps were no longer important.

If the awakened class was too bad, it was impossible for him to pass even if he scored full marks in theoretical knowledge.

If people were strong enough, there was no need for assigned schools and institutions or diplomas. All the major institutions and companies would fight for them.

Walking through the bustling streets and listening to the sounds of car honking and pedestrians talking, Su Ce turned into a small road and walked into a lively urban village.

This place was different from the prosperity of the outside world.

Most of the buildings here were six-story brick residential buildings without elevators.

Dirty and messy were the eternal themes here.

It was only separated by a small road, but the difference between the inside and outside the road was immense. Just this alone was enough to show the difference in treatment between Professionals and ordinary people.

Su Ce passed through a cramped alley that stank of dead fish and took steep stairs to the fourth floor of a building.

He took out his key and opened the door. He looked at the warm and familiar room and his elder sister, who was cooking in the kitchen, and his expression immediately relaxed. “Sis, I’m back.”

He threw his key on the table. Without waiting for his sister to remind him, he immediately went into the bathroom to clean himself up.

After washing his handsome face and looking at himself in the mirror, Su Ce was lost in thought for a moment.

He had wondered how he would explain to his sister if he hadn’t awakened a top talent previously.

Six years ago, after his parents disappeared during an adventure in a mystic realm, Su Ce had been living with his sister.

At first, because the family still had some savings, they were able to support his sister in completing her studies.

But after the family’s savings were spent, his sister relied on her skills as a seamstress to repair equipment for others to barely earn some money and prevent Su Ce from being dismissed from Leyton Academy.

During this long period of time, he had been afraid and helpless and had often cried secretly because he missed his parents.

But his sister comforted him again and again and accompanied him until now.

However, Su Ce knew that if it wasn’t for him, his sister, Su Lan, wouldn’t have to work so hard.

Although her class was only a life class, she could completely rely on her good skills to exchange for a better life.

But the reality was that in order to help him complete his studies, his sister had not bought new clothes for a few years and had barely ever put on makeup.

Retracting his gaze, Su Ce opened the bathroom door and returned to the living room.

At this moment, his sister had finished cooking and was waiting for him to eat together.

Looking at the water droplets on her brother’s face, Su Lan immediately urged him, “You washed your face for so long. Come and eat.”

“Oh, right away.” Su Ce wiped his hands and immediately walked to the dining table.

Looking at the table full of dishes, he immediately said in surprise, “Sis, there are so many dishes today. Have you found the other half of your heart?”

“Knock it off. I’m doing pretty well single. I don’t need to find a partner.” Su Lan rolled her eyes at her brother and then explained, “Isn’t it because today is the day of Leyton Academy’s Awakening Ceremony? I just got ready to celebrate in advance.”

She put a piece of meat in Su Ce’s bowl and asked expectantly, “So, what class did you awaken?”
