What a Scam!

Seeing his awakened attribute, Ain got depressed

'?? What kind of Attribute is this? Ant? a symbol for the weak? are you for real?' thought Ain in his mind

'Huh... whatever, with the system, I can cover up my true attributes, I knew there will be endless troubles to come if I tell the truth'

As he had decided on his next course of action, Ain tried to check his awakened attribute description in hopes that something useful would come of it.

[Ant Characteristics: By awakening this Attribute, you have obtained all the Unique Characteristics of Ant's Abilities, namely [Defense Augmentation] [Smell Augmentation] [Sense Augmentation] [Strength Augmentation ]]

'Hmm, that's a lot?'

Feeling curious, he then tried to check the description of the 4 characteristics

[Defense Augmentation: Hardens the users' muscles to the level of iron, in order to nullify damage taken from attacks. Note: This skill will be further enhanced according to the user growth]

[Smell Augmentation: Enhance the user's sense of smell (More sensitive toward Chemical Smell), Note: This skill will be further enhanced according to the user growth]

[Sense Augmentation: Give the user the ability to sense any presence within 25 meters by sensing vibrations on the ground, Air even in space. Note: This skill will be further enhanced according to the user growth]

[Strength Augmentation: The user can easily exert a force of 50 times his own body weight, the current strength that the user can exert is 3.4 Tons. Note: This skill will be further enhanced according to the user growth]

Reading the description of Ant Characteristics, Ain experiences a rollercoaster of emotion, and if not because the fact he is still standing on the awakening platform, Ain's jaw already drops to the ground.

'Σ(ﾟДﾟ) WHAT KIND OF BULSHIT IS THIS?!?!' scream Ain in his mind, His mind is buzzing with many thoughts

'Ant is a weak creature? the symbol of the weak? Stop kidding me! who in the world dare say Ant is a weak creature? oh wait, it's me!?!'

'ANYWAY! This skill was too damn cool!'

(A/N Fun fact: in terms of size, Ant is one of the strongest creatures)

Looking at the characteristics, he knows that he can't tell anyone about this, his attribute is simply scary! Especially [Strength Augmentation], he can easily exert a power equal to 3,4 tons! it's equal to the strength of Peak Elite Magus or Elite Warrior.

in the human federation, Awakener divides into 2 Classes. Magus and Warrior, Awakeners who choose to walk in Magus's path usually will focus on developing their external power like a spellcaster, whereas Warrior, use their own attribute to create, in essence, an invisible armor around themself, providing incredible offensive and defensive capabilities (A/N you can think it like Armament Haki and instead black iron color, the color is following the color of their attribute).

and for the classification of combat power rankings, it is divided into 2 categories as well

Magus

Beginner - Magus - Elite Magus - Master Magus - Grand Magus - Sovereign

Warrior

Beginner - Warrior - Elite Warrior - Master Warrior - Grand Warrior - Overlord

Back to Ain

Ain currently looking intently to the description of [Strength Augmentation]

' "50 times his own bodyweight"....are you telling me to become fat or something? the fatter I become, the stronger I'll be?' (￣ー￣)

However, the more he think about the skill, the more he realizes the horror of his attribute, he really need to hide it will all he got.

Meanwhile

The students' emotions were in a mess. Many of them sighed. As for the majority of them (mostly boys), they heaved a sigh of relief. Those who had some conflicts with Ain previously all looked as if they were waiting to watch a good show.

As an Awakened, one would naturally want to become a strong powerhouse. Awakening Unique attribute meant that one's combat abilities would not be that high.

It had to be said that human nature was really interesting. Some people could not wait to surpass Ain and look down on him.

Even if Ain knew what the students were thinking. He wouldn't care in the slightest about them, Ain even wanted them to jump out to say mean things to him so he could directly slap them in the face, and, he really wished for this to happen.

As a proud otaku and avid novel reader, he wants to try what it feels to do the "slapping" routine like the Chinese protagonist does.

After Ain finished his awakening, the deans looked at Ain with a depressed expression, they had high hopes for him after all.

it was a pity for Ain, even though he awakened a 5-star potential, yet with his unique attributes… his potential was basically average and his future accomplishments were basically not that high.

However, there was still a fire of hope in their eyes because even though 90% of the people who awakened Unique attributes had extremely useless abilities, the remaining 10%, awakened extremely powerful abilities.

for example, one of the pillars of Humanity, she awakens a unique attribute, and the attribute is very cheating!

she had awakened the Beast Tamer attribute! she can easily tame any creature that is on the same rank as her, and moreover there is no limit to how many creatures she can tame as long as her spiritual power is able to support her.

One have to know that, a monster that is on the same rank as humans is not something that can be underestimated because a monster at the same rank can fight equally against 2 awakeners of the same rank at the same time, and the scary part, the girl had an army of monsters as her tame beasts.

good thing she's on the human side.

Now, faced with Ain unique attribute, the dean's really want to jump to the platform and shake Ain right now so he could tell them what kind of attribute he awakened.

"*cough* Alright, let's continue the awakening ceremony" with that, the principal signaled Ain to come down from the platform.

Hearing the principal, Ain came out of his deep thoughts, he just smiled and shrugged his shoulders and walked down the platform quietly….well not until he got annoyed with the pity looks on the students

'What are you pitying me for? if I tell my attribute to you guys, I'm afraid you will have a stroke!' thought Ain in his mind while maintaining his smile.

as he sat down on the chair, Ain felt someone watching him intently.

searching the source, Ain finally found out who it is...

the person who has been staring at him is a woman, she has long, dark brown hair and tanned skin. She has golden eyes. She wears a beautiful white blazers, a black shirt, and a dark blue skirt. Her outfit has gold trim in various areas. This woman is without doubt a peerless beauty.

Looking at her, Ain could only show a helpless smile, because he knew he would have a long talk with her since she was the closest person to Ain in this school.
