Cosmic Calendar, Year 298, July 10.
Nanyang State, Wind City.
A few buses carrying the Third Year students from Wind City First High, who had finished their cultural exam this year, were heading towards the Awakened Beings Association. Expressions of nervousness and anticipation, as well as excitement, filled the young faces of the 18-year-olds.
It did not take long for them to arrive at the branch of the Awakened Beings Association. Under the guidance of the staff members, they entered the Awakening Hall.
A spirited old man with white hair stood in front of them. He was the principal of Wind City First High. Behind him stood a group of teachers, who looked at these 18-year-old students with gratified eyes.
"Students, today is the day of your awakening. I hope that after today, all of you will be able to enter the Awakened Beings University, become strong, and contribute to the country."
The principal said in a loud and clear voice, "Now, you will be arranged according to the results of your written exams and be awakened on the Awakening Platform in that order. First up is Lin Fan."
Everyone immediately looked at the young man at the front of the line, including the students of the same level behind him. The teachers' eyes were filled with gratification and anticipation, while the students behind them had mixed feelings. Most of the boys' eyes were filled with envy and jealousy, while most of the girls had an indescribable feeling in their hearts towards this boy.
Lin Fan was the written exams top scorer of Wind City First High, as well as the top scorer throughout the entire of Wind City and even across the entire Nanyang State. Wind City was just a small place. The fact that the top scorer of the written exams could appear in Wind City made Wind City First High's principal and teachers extremely happy.
From past experiences, the stronger the results of one's written subjects, the stronger their awakening would be. At the same time, the stronger their awakening, the greater their talent.
Furthermore, Lin Fan was extremely handsome. He had a flawless face and his facial features were perfectly proportioned to the best ratio. He had a slender figure and his legs were just too good. Standing among the students, he stood out like a crane amongst a flock of chickens. At the same time, he had a faint smile on his face. He looked cultured and refined and his entire body exuded an indescribable scholarly aura. Anyone who saw him would feel that he was cultured and gentle. All the guys who stood beside him would pale in comparison.
He was undoubtedly the most handsome boy in Wind City First High. Many girls had a crush on him, and he received love letters almost every day during his three years in high school. With such treatment, which teenage boy wouldn't be jealous of him? Everyone wanted to be the one the girls paid the most attention to.
Under the gazes of everyone, Lin Fan walked over with a look of anticipation.
In reality, he was not from this world. He had come from Earth. 18 years ago, he came to this world of Awakened Beings. The powerful experts in this world had the ability to dissolve mountains and split rivers with a wave of their hands. This power was something that he had always yearned for.
And today, it was finally time for him to awaken his abilities. He had been looking forward to this day for a very, very long time.
The principal walked over and patted his shoulder. "Lin Fan, don't be nervous. We all believe in your talent."
"Yeah."
Lin Fan responded and took a deep breath before walking up to the Awakening Platform.
At this moment, there were four people sitting on the Awakening Platform. Three were men and one was a woman. These were the four strongest people from the Wind City. They were also in charge of the safety and order of Wind City. The four of them looked at Lin Fan with anticipation. They were here today to witness the awakening process of the most talented person in Wind City's history.
There was no need for others to explain. In fact, the awakening process had already been explained countless times.
Lin Fan felt a little troubled. He walked to the center of the Awakening Platform and sat down. The staff connected the wires. At the same time, he placed his hand on the crystal-like round Awakening Stone. He closed his eyes and slowly sensed it. The originally colorless crystal suddenly emitted a blinding light, causing everyone to not help but look away.
On the other hand, the four strongest experts of Wind City were staring fixedly at it. To them, this little bit of light didn't bother them at all. At this moment, they were looking carefully at the light. This was because the brighter the light, the higher the Star Power one would have after the awakening process. The higher one's Star Power was, the stronger their talent.
Shortly after, Lin Fan felt a surge of energy emerging from his body, slowly circulating in him. He had never felt it before. The energy was extremely warm and made his entire body feel comfortable. It flowed from his hands into the Awakening Stone before flowing back into his body.
Lin Fan felt that the entire duration of which this happened was very short. In reality, more than three minutes had passed.
In that instant, Lin Fan felt something within his body being stimulated. A new power was being activated and born.
In the next moment, everyone looked at the electronic screen beside them. Immediately after, a number appeared, causing the four people on stage to stand up as well.
"A Star Power value of 99! This is the highest one can reach during the Pre-Awakening Stage!" Someone exclaimed.
When the deans and teachers of Wind City First High saw this number, their eyes immediately lit up with excitement. As expected, Lin Fan's talent was indeed very high.
The students' eyes widened. Some were envious, while others were jealous.
"Damn! So high!"
"Damn, full value!!! With this, he has broken Wind City's highest record."
"D*mn it, he reached the highest mark at once!"
"I'm so envious! The next step is to see what talent he has awakened."
"I reckon it's a long-range talent."
"I think it's a control-type talent."
"Maybe it's an elemental talent?"
"There are too few elemental talents. Most of the people would awaken close-combat talents."
"F*ck, if he were to awaken an elemental talent, you might as well kill me! He's already so outstanding, how can others even compete with him?"
The four great experts of Wind City were also incomparably gratified. A smile appeared on their faces. It seemed that the most talented person in Wind City had truly appeared.
However, no one moved their eyes away, as they did not know what kind of talent skill Lin Fan would awaken. This was the most important aspect too. It would determine the future direction of the Awakened and what kind of expert he would become.
Lin Fan opened his eyes and looked at the electronic screen beside him. He was also looking forward to becoming an expert. This was the dream of every young man in this world.
What made everyone frown was that there were words constantly changing in the area where his talent ability was displayed. Usually, the awakening process merely required one to circulate one's Star Power around one's body for a short period of time.
During this process, one's Star Power and talent ability were being tested at the same time and the results would appear almost immediately together. But now, Lin Fan's talent was taking much longer than expected to be displayed. It was as if the machine could not confirm what talent ability he had at the moment and was making a difficult choice.
After three minutes, it finally displayed two words: Healing Talent.
Instantly, the entire place fell silent.
When the four experts of Wind City saw these words, they were instantly dumbfounded. The principal and teachers of Wind City First High were also completely dumbfounded.
As the name suggests, healing talent meant that one's awakened talent lied in the ability to heal people. People with such talent would normally be assigned to the logistics department. At most, one would be a combat medic. People with such talent were more inclined towards providing medical support treatment.
Healers were naturally very important and respected, but the difficulty of them becoming strong was greater too.
The students broke out into whispers.
"He actually has a healing-type talent?"
"I heard that there are very few healing-type experts, and it's the most difficult talent for one to get!"
"That's right! Lin Fan's future path won't be easy!"
"However, healers are still respected. After all, they save lives!"
"Sigh… God is indeed fair. He has opened a window for Lin Fan but closed another door for him."
"Healers are pretty good too. They are respected and loved by others!"
There were instantly many sympathetic voices among the students. Of course, there were also some who were gloating. After all, Lin Fan was too outstanding. It put too much pressure on them and they couldn't compare at all. As long as Lin Fan was mentioned, they wouldn't have any sense of existence no matter what they did.
Now that Lin Fan had awakened the healing talent and would become a healer in the future, although he would be respected, becoming an expert for him was even harder. This made them feel relieved. This gave them a chance to catch up or even surpass him. It was as if a huge mountain in their hearts had been moved away.
Everyone was discussing softly. Many people were paying attention to Lin Fan's expression, hoping to see the disappointment on his face. After all, he didn't awaken any particularly strong talent. Young people naturally liked such kind of talent that directly made them stronger.
As for Lin Fan, he was indeed stunned for a moment. However, he didn't look disappointed at all. Instead, his expression was extremely strange.
In front of him was a system page that no one else could see.
