"Class change scroll?" I muttered, staring at the glowing item in my hand.
"So this thing can change my current class into ’Instructor’...?"
A part of wondered if this was just another hidden class, or maybe a reward from so secret quest. Either way, I had no idea where Rex got it from—but it didn’t matter.
What mattered was this: the world I thought I knew was far bigger than I imagined.
Even with my regression, with all the mories I brought back from my past life... I still felt like a frog trapped in a well. In terms of both power and knowledge, I was still in the shallow end.
"I’ll think about this later," I muttered, stuffing the scroll into my inventory for now.
But then Hui stepped closer, her eyes flickering with concern.
"Chen Yu... if you change your class, won’t you stop being a Lawrenderer? I don’t know much, but... it sounds risky. It might make it harder for you to fight."
Her words made sense. A new class could an losing everything I’d built so far. The Lawrenderer class wasn’t just strong—it was unique. Replacing it might set back or worse... leave vulnerable.
"I was thinking the sa," I replied quietly. "If I give this scroll to soone else... maybe they’ll benefit more from it."
But before I could consider that further—
Ding!
A system prompt suddenly appeared before my eyes, flickering with a golden light:
[System Notification]
Would you like to fuse your current class [Lawrenderer] with [Instructor]?
— Fusion Result: You will gain all Instructor-class skills while retaining your Lawrenderer abilities.
— Fusion Attempts Remaining: 1/1
"Wait, what?" I blinked in surprise.
"I can... fuse classes?"
That changed everything.
So this was what Rex ant earlier—when he warned to think carefully before choosing my path.
With this fusion, I wouldn’t lose anything... Instead, I’d gain everything. I’d keep my foundation as a Lawrenderer while acquiring the power to train and strengthen others.
A gamble, yes. But one that could change everything.
"With this... I can lead my allies toward real strength," I thought.
"Not just fight alone—but create a force."
I looked at Hui again.
"I think it’ll be worth it. I’ll go for the fusion."
She looked startled. "You can fuse it? That’s incredible... but—"
Her expression shifted. "There must be a drawback, right? It’s too good otherwise."
As if summoned by her words, another system prompt flashed before , colder this ti:
[System Notification]
Warning: Fusing classes will make Secondary Awakening significantly more difficult.
— No further details provided.
My stomach dropped.
"Damn it," I cursed under my breath. "What kind of difficulty? Can’t you tell anything more, system?!"
But the system stayed silent.
I gritted my teeth.
Of course. When you need it the most, the damn thing shuts up.
Still... I couldn’t afford to hesitate. Not now. Not when the fate of the people around would one day depend on how far I could grow.
Even if the path ahead beca harder... I’d just have to walk it.
anwhile, Hui silently stared at , her thoughts darker and more possessive than before.
"If he becos too powerful... he might start ignoring . I can’t let that happen. I have to grow stronger, too. I will grow stronger."
She didn’t voice these thoughts aloud, of course. Chen Yu remained blissfully unaware of the quiet obsession forming in her heart.
Taking a deep breath, I nodded.
"Alright. Let’s do this."
[Confirm Fusion?]
→ Yes
→ No
I tapped Yes.
The scroll disintegrated in my hand, releasing a surge of brilliant golden energy.
A warm yet powerful aura wrapped around my body like a storm made of light. My Lawrenderer core pulsed, resonating with the foreign energy of the Instructor class. My vision blurred briefly as a ssage burned itself into the air:
Fusion Successful. You are now: Lawrendering Instructor
New Skills Acquired:
— [Discipline Field]
— [Comprehension Boost]
— [Tactical Insight Lv.1]
— [Bond of Growth]
— [Skill Imprint (Locked)]
My body trembled—not from pain, but from sheer overwhelming potential.
This was the beginning of sothing entirely new.
And I was ready for it.
Just as the golden aura from the fusion began to settle around , another prompt materialized before my eyes—shimring faintly in silver, as if even the system itself was cautious about revealing this much information.
[New System Function Unlocked]
— As the Lawrendering Instructor, you have unlocked the ability to assess potential.
— You can now see an individual’s innate Potential Rating represented in numbers, ranging from 1 to 10.
— A score of 10 represents extraordinary potential.
— In rare or special encounters, potential can exceed 10, though such cases are extrely rare.
— As an Instructor, you will gain strength when your disciples grow stronger. Their progress becos your progress.
— Your version of the Instructor class is Rare Grade, while standard Instructor classes are of Excellent Grade.
Then, to my surprise, more information flowed in—more than the system had ever shared before:
[Class Grades Ranking]
— Good
— Very Good
— Excellent
— Best
— Legendary
— Rare
— Hidden Rare
Note: Classes in the "Rare" and "Hidden Rare" categories may either possess overwhelming power or be extrely situational. However, in their respective domains, they are unparalleled.
I blinked in astonishnt.
"The system has never spoken this much before..."
It was as if the fusion had not only upgraded my class, but also unlocked a deeper level of trust between and the system.
As I processed this, I suddenly realized that everyone was staring at .
Hui stepped closer, a hint of concern in her eyes. "Chen Yu... what’s going on? You’ve been too quiet."
iyun frowned. "Is sothing wrong?"
Even Ruxue, usually calm and composed, looked slightly unsettled.
Roman and Vornark exchanged glances, their instincts picking up on the shift in my deanor.
I quickly snapped out of it and gave them a reassuring nod.
"Don’t worry. It’s nothing bad," I said. "In fact... it’s sothing really good."
I clenched my fists lightly, feeling the pulse of power running through .
"Let’s put this new ability to the test."
I activated my newly unlocked assessnt skill, directing my gaze at Hui first.
A small translucent screen appeared beside her:
[Na: Hui’er]
Potential: 10/10
My eyes widened.
"A perfect score..."
I always knew there was sothing extraordinary about her, but seeing that confird it. Her potential was unmatched.
Next, I looked at Ruxue.
[Na: Bai Ruxue]
Potential: 9/10
Then iyun.
[Na: Lei iyun]
Potential: 9/10
I continued the process—
[Na: Vornark]
Potential: 9/10
[Na: Roman]
Potential: 9/10
I felt a surge of pride and anticipation.
"They’re all incredibly gifted. If nurtured right, they could beco monsters on the battlefield."
With this Instructor class, I could now see their paths more clearly than ever before.
This wasn’t just about becoming stronger anymore.
It was about leading them—guiding each of them to surpass even their own limits.
The gamble had paid off.
And now, it was ti to turn potential into power.
I looked at all of them, my eyes firm and voice resolute.
"It’s ti for so serious training, everyone. If we want to help Vornark reclaim the Beast Kingdom, we can’t afford to stay the way we are now. We need to beco stronger—together."
The air grew heavy with purpose.
Everyone turned toward , eyes sharp with determination, but also sothing else—trust.
Hui, iyun, Ruxue, Roman, and Vornark—each one of them t my gaze, no hesitation in their eyes.
And then, almost in perfect unison, they said:
"We’re ready. Let’s begin."
For the first ti in a long while, I felt sothing stir in —not just power, but leadership.
I turned toward Hui first. Her potential rating was 10—perfect. There was no doubt she had the capacity to surpass even if she wanted. I held out my hand, activating my Instructor skill, ready to officially take her in as a disciple.
A light shimred between us—but before the connection could be completed, Hui raised her hand and gently stepped back.
"No," she said softly.
I blinked, slightly stunned. "Hui?"
Her eyes t mine, calm and unwavering.
"I know you want to beco stronger, and I appreciate it. I truly do," she said. "But I can’t accept you as my master."
A slight frown ford on my face. "Why not?"
She hesitated for a mont, then looked away, as if trying to suppress a deeper emotion.
"It’s a tradition from my holand," she finally said. "In my clan, we are allowed only one master in our lifeti. I already have one... and I won’t break that vow, not even for you."
I was silent for a mont. I understood.
But still, it stung a little—not because she rejected , but because I wanted to be the one to guide her. To protect her.
Then, she looked back at , a soft smile playing on her lips.
"Don’t worry," she added. "I’ll train with all of you. I’ll fight by your side. But I won’t walk behind you—I’ll walk with you."
She turned away, her expression unreadable.
But in her heart, her thoughts burned fiercely:
"I won’t let myself be under you, Chen Yu. I’ll beco stronger in my own way. So strong that you won’t be able to live without . You’ll need —not as a disciple, but as your equal."
I stared at her for a long second, then slowly nodded.
"Alright, Hui. I’ll respect that."
I turned toward the others.
"Then let’s begin. We’ll start building power, not just for ourselves—but for the war to co."
The training had just begun.
And our journey toward becoming legends had officially started.
