Chapter 1, Awakening, Chaos Summoning
(Brain storage area)
"Xiaoyu, today is the day you awaken your magic at Tianlan Magic High School. Aunt Wang is treating you to a basket of steamed buns. You'll have energy if you eat your fill, so try to awaken a better magic type."
Aunt Wang, the owner of the breakfast shop, placed a basket of steamed buns in front of Xiao Yu, her eyes full of tenderness.
She watched the child grow up, and now his parents, who ran an antique shop, have died at the hands of demons, leaving him all alone.
Getting into Tianlan Magic High School is already quite an achievement.
Xiao Yu finished his porridge and declined the steamed buns, saying, "Thank you, Aunt Wang, that's enough for me."
Two years ago, when the original owner had just transmigrated, her parents were killed by demons in the wild, leaving behind only a small shop selling magic stones.
By selling some of the unused magic stones left by his parents in the shop and with the help of his neighbors, Xiao Yu survived the most difficult days.
After two years of intensive cramming for nine years of compulsory magic education, he barely managed to get into Tianlan Magic High School with the lowest score.
Now you can understand the helplessness Mo Fan felt when he first transmigrated.
This magical theory is absolutely disgusting!
"Brother Xiao Yu!"
A clear shout came from the roadside.
Then, a little girl named Cui'er with pigtails ran over, holding a newly bought rattle drum.
Behind him strolled Zhu Bo, who was said to have been a monk in his youth.
For some unknown reason, she stopped using magic and instead opened a teahouse in this small city of Bo to make a living, and she often took care of Xiao Yu.
"Don't be too nervous about your awakening today. No matter what element you awaken, don't worry too much about it. Every element has its own purpose." Zhu Bo stroked his stubble and said with a smile.
Xiao Yu nodded and patted the little girl's head.
After breakfast, Xiao Yu packed his things and headed towards Tianlan Magic High School.
The school gate was already packed with people, with students gathered in twos and threes, chattering about the awakening, their eyes full of anticipation and trepidation.
"Brother Yu, over here!"
In the crowd, the lean young man Zhang Xiaohou waved, and next to him stood a black-haired, brown-eyed boy with his school uniform draped over his shoulders, leaning lazily against the street lamp. It was Mo Fan.
Xiao Yu walked over and smiled at the two of them: "You're here pretty early."
"It's alright," Zhang Xiaohou leaned closer, grinning mischievously. "Your family used to sell so many magical tools, maybe one of them could awaken a rare type, like fire or lightning. What do you say, Brother Fan?"
Mo Fan glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Mo Fan got into Tianlan High School by selling his family's house and using connections.
Mo Fan knew better than anyone that awakening his magic was his only chance to change his fate.
Xiao Yu took the water and had just unscrewed the cap when he heard a commotion at the school gate. Many people were looking towards the entrance and whispering among themselves.
"It's Mu Bai."
"Mu Bai is the top student in the grade. I heard he's already certain he'll awaken his ice element. Plus, he comes from a good family. He's definitely a prodigy."
"Mu Ningxue is truly amazing! The eldest daughter of the Mu family has top-tier talent and is already studying at a prestigious academy in the capital!"
Xiao Yu followed the gaze and saw a group of people surrounding a young man as he walked over. The boy was tall and handsome, and it was Mu Bai.
His gaze swept across the crowd, landing on Xiao Yu, Mo Fan, and the others with a hint of barely perceptible contempt.
When he was a child, he was often teased by Xiao Yu and Mo Fan. Now that their statuses are so different, he naturally disdains to associate with them.
"Green tea guy." Xiao Yu casually remarked before following Zhang Xiaohou and Mo Fan into the school gate.
As luck would have it, Mu Bai heard everything clearly and immediately glared at Xiao Yu with a dark expression.
The awakening ceremony has officially begun.
"The first one, Mu Bai!"
Mu Bai walked confidently onto the Awakening Platform, placed one hand on the Awakening Stone, and took a deep breath.
A moment later, a rich, icy blue light emanated from the Awakening Stone, and a chill spread along its surface, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.
"Ice element!" Xue Musheng's eyes flashed with approval as he exclaimed, "A very pure ice element. Your talent is quite good, and you're also a member of the Mu clan. I believe you will achieve great things in the future."
Mu Bai proudly raised his head and, as he stepped off the stage, deliberately glanced in the direction of Mo Fan and the others, his eyes filled with undisguised mockery.
"What's there to be proud of?" Zhang Xiaohou curled his lip. "When Fan Ge and Yu Ge awaken something even more powerful later, it'll scare him to death."
Xiao Yu smiled but didn't say anything, just quietly watching the stage.
"Next up, Zhou Min, fire element!"
"Next up, Zhang Xiaohou!"
Zhang Xiaohou excitedly jumped onto the stage, and as soon as his hand touched the Awakening Stone, a pale blue light appeared.
"Wind element!"
"Next, Xiao Yu."
Xiao Yu took a deep breath and stepped onto the Awakening Platform.
"Go for it, Yu-ge!" Zhang Xiaohou whispered.
Xiao Yu nodded and stood in front of the Awakening Platform.
The moment the fingertips touched the Awakening Stone, a warm current flowed into the body through the fingertips, as if awakening the dormant power deep within the soul.
He closed his eyes, following the flow of energy, and felt the flow of energy within his body.
The surrounding students held their breath, staring at the Awakening Stone. But after a long while, only a faint transparent luster appeared on the Awakening Stone, unlike the bright luster of other elements, and there was not even the slightest fluctuation in its attributes.
"What kind of system is this? I've never seen it before."
"Could it be that the awakening failed? The light is transparent, I can't see anything at all."
"Mu Bai is right. A bad student is a bad student after all; even their awakened magical radiance is practically invisible!"
Amidst the laughter, Mu Bai frowned.
Even Xue Musheng frowned, carefully examining the transparent light on the Awakening Stone, his mind rapidly searching for relevant information.
Xiao Yu's consciousness sank into his body, but he clearly sensed two completely different forces quietly sprouting within him.
Dual system?
transparent……
Moon white...
It's definitely a summoner.
What is the other lineage?
Nothingness, distortion...
Could it be chaos?!
Two dimensional magics?
Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat, but he forcibly suppressed his surging emotions and remained calm on the surface.
"It's summoning magic!" Xue Musheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed, "Summoning magic belongs to dimensional magic, which is very special and rare. The awakening probability is even lower than that of lightning magic!"
Summoning?
The students around him were stunned.
Even rarer than lightning-type?
In the nine years of compulsory magic education, dimensional magic is rarely mentioned, and everyone knows nothing about the summoning system.
Mu Bai's face regained its composure. Summoning?
This is an expensive gadget; if you don't play it well, it's just like walking the dog.
It's nowhere near as good as my own ice-type.
Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing everyone's reactions.
The Chaos system does not appear to have been discovered.
The dual awakening is too shocking; if it were exposed, who knows how much trouble it would cause.
He stepped off the stage and returned to Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou's side. Zhang Xiaohou immediately sidled up to him: "Brother Yu, you're amazing!"
Xiao Yu smiled and nodded, but his gaze fell on the awakening platform. Next, it was Mo Fan's turn.
Mo Fan walked straight up to the Awakening Platform and placed one hand on the Awakening Stone.
A moment later, a dazzling purple light suddenly burst forth from the Awakening Stone, accompanied by crackling electrical sounds that made it impossible for people to open their eyes.
"Holy crap! It's lightning-type!"
"Holy crap! What incredible luck! It's blindingly good! That's amazing!"
"No, I want to go to the rooftop! Why do I, a beautiful girl, have to awaken the Earth element? Waaaaah!"
"Because you look pretty rustic."
"Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"
"Don't go. The rooftop is full of light and water element users. Don't force your way into circles you can't fit into."
The crowd erupted in an instant. Xue Musheng's eyes were filled with shock, and even Mu Bai's expression changed slightly.
What kind of incredible luck does that guy in the next class have?!
Xiao Yu ignored the group of people running out of the classroom like madmen, and just kept staring at Mo Fan who was awakening.
First it was purple, then it turned red.
Mo Fan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yu, the only one sitting in the classroom.
