Crippled before the Thrid step,( part 2)

Soon after many groups of people started being selected by the same god, like the God of alchemy who took practically all of the archeologists from the earth under his wings, and the God of architecture who took almost half of the brick builders from the museum under his wings.

As the line progressed many people started to have become 'chosen' who were given choices between gods started popping up like mushrooms after rain.

And soon the first person to be an exception appeared, the person from the students and it was none other than one of the class reps of our school and a person from the same year but a neighboring class.

Her name was Janet and she was one of the only few people I truly respect in my school.

And she was one of those people in our school who had the authority to stand on an equal footing in our school with Owen.

But unlike the other people in that group, she never used her powers to miss treat or toy with others.

Even though she is from a rich and powerful family she never shows off or treated anyone with contempt or had even insulted anyone, she even acknowledged me a nobody as her rival and an equal.

But we are not friends and even though our conversations and encounters have always been short, I still had a good understanding of her character.

So looking at her being the first person to be selected by more than one god I genuinely felt happy for her.

Janet was chosen by a combination of three gods, the Goddess of wisdom, the Goddess of luck, and the Goddess of wealth.

It was a deadly combo even both, the group of the old and young priestess was taken back by the combo.

Ohh, I forgot to tell you if a person gets 'chosen' by two or more gods they will receive missions from all the gods and may also obtain other rewards and gifts from all the gods, but their rank missions are harder than the other who is chosen by one god so it's a 'high-risk high-return'.

And according to the priestess, people can only choose one god but the gods can decide to share exceptional people among themselves, thus giving birth to the ranks of anomalies.

Soon after the awakening of my self-proclaimed rival, four more people were selected by more than one god and these people also have the ability to stand on equal footing with Owen as two of them were our nation's under 16 athletes while the other two were our nation's Under 16 wrestler and the last one was a Guinness World Record holder.

I was starting to see a pattern here if there is anyone with genuine skills and knowledge, they are the ones who are being selected by more than one god.

If this pattern remains the same then I was sure that I will be selected by more than one god.

Because even though all of them are genius, I am still the real 1st rank holder in our school, no one had or can beat me for the past 4 years from our Junior highs till our sophomore high school.

While I was enjoying my bliss another two go selected by more than two gods, well here on you don't really have to be shocked, I can assure you that the number of anomalies is gonna increase like crazy.

Because our school follows a ranking system and the higher your rank in the exams of your grade the higher will be your class grade and the class will be filled with geniuses.

It goes like this, the ranks 1 to 40 are placed in the same class(section A), and a few exceptional additions like the geniuses from other fields are also placed in the same class.

And that High-grade class has the best atmosphere and facilities, they are even given the highest priority on all occasions and stuff.

So 'A' is the best of the best and 'B' is just a little lower than 'A' and it follows, the lower the grade is lower are the facilities and advantages it has.

And students are assigned to those classes based on their exam ranks.

The ranks slowly go down from class to class till it reaches the last rank so I'm not surprised by the appearance of more anomalies honestly I would more surprised if it didn't actually happen.

Since they started the ranks from the lower class the appearance of anomalies was less in the start and now they have come near to my class the number will just keep on increasing.

By the time the line reached my class more than 24 people were selected from the line by more than one god and were sent to another room.

As for students from my class, the first 17 didn't have any anomalies among them but as soon as the 18th person step on every one of them was an anomaly.

Soon the ranks went up and it was now the turn of the group I was waiting to see, now it was Owen and his pack of dogs turn.

The first few to step on the altar was one of the lower bootlickers and even they were selected by more than one now I'm genuinely curious about how many gods would choose Owen.

But to my surprise when it was Owen's turn he was only selected by three gods, the God of War and the God of assassins, and the God of merchants.

A combo of one major god and two minor gods of professions seems to be not an impressive combo because the gold digger priestess doesn't give him a surprised look.

So his comb must have been just a common one. That really caught me, others, and even Owen by surprise because everyone knew want kind of a person Owen was, just as I was thinking about Owen, I received the next shock of my life.

After Owen, it was the turn of one of the world's greatest bootlickers of all time Calton.

But as Calton stepped onto the altar none of us was honestly paying any attention to him due to the shock we received from Owen's awakening.

But the moment Calton placed his hands in the orb the entire room was filled with a bright golden light which attracted everyone's attention to the altar.

Even the guards who we're about to guide Owen stop in their tracks to look at the altar. And the light slowly diminished only to reveal a golden glowing cocoon covered Calton.

Calton was literally floating up in the mid-air and was covered in four different lights, that mother fucker was actually selected as an anomaly by 4 fucking gods!!.

He was selected by the God of light one of the strongest gods in heaven, the Goddess of wisdom, the Goddess of benevolence, and the God of war.

He was the Frist person to be selected by a Major Elemental God and a Goddess of Virtue with a combination of two Major Gods like war and wisdom.

That is some insane combo even the priestesses started showing inelegant shocked expressions and they had even forgotten that they were in front of the altar of gods and a group of otherworlders.

I really wanted to question WTF did these gods see in booklicker bastard? But suddenly I had a thought, a very frightening thought.

What if all those bootlicking and attitudes that Calton showed until now were just an act?

I don't actually think it can be true but if my hypothesis is true then this Calton is one terrifying Mother fucker.

Just as I was having a second thoughts on whether to proceed with all the revenge schemes I had planned for him.

The light around us started dimming as though something was devouring it.

The awakening hall suddenly started turning dark and thick black smoke started appearing from one side of the room and it soon started head-butting the light that was emitted by Calton.
