The awakening is taking place simultaneously in 20 classes.

  Lucifer is number 48, and he will be the last in the class to receive the gift of awakening.

  The homeroom teacher, who is also everyone’s magic mentor—Jemson—stands at the front of the class. The awakening ceremony will take place in front of a large audience, and all the students have to do is step forward when their name is called, place their hands on the awakening stone in front of the mentor, and quietly sense it.

  “Hey, you got in through connections, right? You won’t fail the awakening, will you? I’ve heard that some truly incompetent people can fail their awakening. It’s better not to waste the precious energy of the awakening stone on trash like you,” said Kunsen, an old classmate of Lucifer, from another line.

  Kunsen is William's lackey. William feels that seeking trouble with Lucifer would lower his status, so he usually lets Kunsen handle it.

  Kunsen's mention of awakening failure is valid, and Lucifer is indeed worried about it. Strictly speaking, he is... well, let’s say he has crossed over. If his physique differs from that of the people here, it would be a huge joke!

  “Lucifer, don’t mind this waste. Just wait until you awaken a fire element and show him what it means to look down on others!” said Zhang Hou, a monkey from the same class as Lucifer.

  Lucifer didn’t respond. In the past, he would have used his sharp tongue to roast this Kunsen lackey, but today he wasn’t in the mood. On one hand, he was genuinely nervous; on the other, he couldn’t understand why the black pendant around his neck kept vibrating strangely.

  This black pendant is a relic ring from the old gatekeeper Ying at the back door of his middle school. Lucifer suspects that this thing is the culprit behind the drastic changes in this world. That day, he was wearing this pendant while sleeping on the back mountain of the school.

  This morning, the pendant started shaking as if possessed, causing his hands to tremble uncontrollably.

  Fuck! Why are you shaking? You’re just a pendant; can’t you behave like a proper pendant?

  “William!” the homeroom teacher Jemson called out.

  “Ah, that’s William! He’s so handsome and ranks first in grades!”

  “Yes, yes! I saw him early this morning. I really like him. I wonder what element he will awaken. Hopefully, it’s not one of those early-stage trash attributes like water or light!”

  As soon as William stepped forward, several girls in the class began chattering, drawing the attention of some infatuated students from other classes.

  William appeared indifferent, but he enjoyed the attention. He walked up to the homeroom teacher with a humble yet confident smile.

  “William, you’re from the famous Ice Family, the Wilson family, right?” the homeroom teacher Jemson asked with a smile.

  “Exactly.”

  Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  “Good. If you awaken the ice element, you should be much better than others, but don’t forget to work hard; talent doesn’t determine everything,” Jemson said.

  William nodded, secretly thinking: Yes, talent doesn’t determine everything! But without talent and a solid background, one will always live at the bottom of society!

  With the teacher’s permission, William slowly placed his hands on the floating awakening stone.

  There was a clear palm print on the awakening stone. Although William appeared calm, he was just as anxious inside as he placed his hands on the stone...

  With his lineage, the likelihood of awakening the ice element was the highest, but there could also be special circumstances. If he ended up awakening the water or holy light elements, his family would likely not value him as much anymore, as they wouldn’t waste resources on someone with an unsuitable attribute.

  Right hand placed...

  Suddenly, the awakening stone shimmered with starlight, and these lights formed star-like veins that crawled up William’s right hand like special blood vessels.

  This was the first time everyone witnessed an awakening, and the students all stood on tiptoe to watch William.

  William stood there motionless, his head slightly raised...

  “Creak, creak, creak~~~~”

  Suddenly, a chill began to swirl around the awakening stone.

  The frost grew stronger, slowly freezing the edges of the awakening stone, forming a small patch of frost!

  “It’s the ice element; it’s really the ice element!!!”

  Suddenly, someone behind shouted, accompanied by some girls’ screams.

  William heard the commotion and opened his eyes in delight!

  It really is the ice element! Having the family’s original element means he would be more easily accepted by the family. The day of his rise is not far off; dealing with a small fry like Lucifer would be as easy as squashing an ant... Wait, no, having awakened the ice element means he is a legitimate disciple of the Wilson family. He doesn’t even need to stoop to the level of this little loser.

  One must have high aspirations; yes, he must have high aspirations. Who knows, he might even have the chance to train with Aishi!

  “Very good, it’s a very pure ice element. I believe a patch of ice element stardust has already appeared in your spiritual world. Keep practicing to make it even stronger!” Jemson said, his eyes filled with approval.

  Being able to freeze the awakening stone during the awakening indicates that this ice element power surpasses that of ordinary people, marking him as a talented ice element apprentice. This child should have a bright future!

  “Next, Marin!”

  As soon as the homeroom teacher finished speaking, a girl with a bit of heroism on her face stepped forward.

  “Good, earth element. Your stardust start is impressive; it seems to be closely related to your previous efforts!”

  “Next, Kunsen!”

  “Also an ice element.”

  At this moment, Lucifer specifically stood on tiptoe to look. He noticed that during Kunsen’s awakening, although he also awakened the ice element, only a thin layer of frost mist appeared, and the awakening stone did not freeze.

  This shows that even though they both awakened the ice element, Kunsen’s talent and cultivation are far inferior to William’s.

  “Next, Bulon.”

  “Hmm, water element!”

  “Oh my god, how can I be a water element? I should be a fire element!” Suddenly, a classmate named Lu Xiaobin cried out, his voice echoing for over a hundred meters.

  “Don’t be discouraged; it doesn’t matter what element you cultivate. As long as you reach the intermediate mage level, you will gain more advantages,” Jemson said, his eyes showing a hint of sympathy, but he spoke in a comforting tone.

  Lu Xiaobin had no other choice but to return to his seat in despair.

  In fact, the initial awakening is very important. If he had awakened the fire element, he would have had some combat power at the beginner mage level, which would have given him an advantage in future cultivation.

  For the water element, the beginner water skill is - Water Manipulation, which has less defensive capability than the earth element. Without specialized training, its effects are not very significant, at least not for a beginner mage.
