Seeing Song Jie obediently shut up, Li Teacher no longer bothered with him, instead following the procedure to inquire about and record the Awakening results of Shen Xingyan and Chu Wei.
Shen Xingyan was about to state his profession. Although the Farmer profession indeed caused a huge disparity in his heart, what had to come still had to be faced, and he was already mentally prepared for it.
However, Chu Wei answered first. She loudly said, "Teacher Li, I awakened as a Fire Mage! Aside from my Strength and Physique being slightly lacking, all my other attributes are at maximum!"
As Chu Wei spoke, she subtly glanced at Song Jie, who was standing to the side. Her small hand clenched into a fist and she waved it at him.
In the Early Stage of Awakening, Mages, being ranged Spellcasters, naturally counter close-combat professions like Warriors. Therefore, Chu Wei's gesture was very clear, full of threat towards Song Jie.
When Song Jie heard that the other party was actually a Mage, and a Fire Mage at that, with explosive damage, he immediately deflated. He began to regret his rash actions just now, wondering why he had gotten carried away and provoked this 'grandma'.
According to Chu Wei's excellent family background, coupled with such a top-tier profession, her growth rate in the future would definitely be much faster than his. If he provoked her now, he would inevitably be severely beaten later.
He, who had originally felt unconvinced by Teacher Li's earlier reprimand, instantly lost his temper and quietly retreated backward without anyone noticing.
Other classmates standing a bit further away, upon hearing Chu Wei's profession and body attributes, involuntarily showed envious expressions. Then, thinking of their own professions, they could only let out a bitter laugh.
Teacher Li smiled and nodded. A Fire Mage was considered a top-tier profession in their school. With the existence of this profession, their current batch would not be at the bottom, and would be no less inferior compared to previous students.
"So, what is your innate Skill?" Li Teacher's tone softened considerably as he looked at this lively girl in red, his expression filled with smiles.
Teachers favoring good students is an age-old tradition, and Li Teacher was naturally no exception.
"Fire Mastery, which can increase the power of Fire Spells by 20%."
Upon hearing Chu Wei's answer, Li Teacher quickly recorded it in his notebook. Chu Wei having such a talent was within his expectations; after all, the Awakening of talent generally corresponds with the profession, and this talent was very compatible with a Fire Mage.
However, after Chu Wei loudly finished speaking, she then leaned closer to Li Teacher and whispered, "Li Teacher, can we register Shen Xingyan's professional information privately later? He... please."
As she spoke, Chu Wei clasped her small hands together in a way that others couldn't see, her eyes filled with a pleading look towards Li Teacher.
Hearing Chu Wei's pleading words, Li Teacher subconsciously looked at Shen Xingyan, his brow slightly furrowed. He vaguely guessed something and seemed to hesitate to speak.
Looking at Chu Wei, who had already awakened as a Mage, Li Teacher finally sighed helplessly and gently nodded.
Chu Wei's attitude already indicated that Shen Xingyan might have awakened a more ordinary lifestyle profession than a Blacksmith. If that were truly the case, out of a young man's self-esteem, there was indeed no need to question him publicly.
Seeing Li Teacher agree to her request, Chu Wei turned to Shen Xingyan and playfully winked.
Shen Xingyan also smiled helplessly and didn't say much, naturally understanding his deskmate's good intentions.
After this period of self-adjustment, he had fully accepted the reality. Since fate had already destined him to be a Farmer, he could only follow this Dao; there was no other way.
At the moment of his Awakening, he seemed to have grown up instantly. He had been somewhat precocious due to bearing the family's burdens too early, but now he was even more composed, and he no longer cared about others' gazes as much as before.
After a journey of self-guidance, Shen Xingyan's heart also broadened significantly: no matter how glorious past honors were, they were just the past; people still had to look forward.
Live his own life well, take care of his younger sister, and strive to accumulate some savings when he is old, then exchange them for attribute points to go out to the Extraterritorial World, doing his best to fulfill his final wish of eliminating the Disaster on that battlefield.
Everyone waited for a while longer until all the personnel from the North District were present, then they embarked on their return Dao.
With the advent of the Origin Energy era, old transportation tools were gradually phased out, replaced by new types of transportation machinery driven by Origin Energy.
Those who awakened as the Artifact Refining lifestyle profession could use their professional Skills to modify old machinery, allowing them to perform far beyond their previous capabilities.
High-Rank professionals could also create new machinery. With the existence of professional bonuses, the success rate of their creations also increased, and often, small inventions could greatly improve the convenience of life for the base's people.
If it were in a past era of peace, the Artifact Refining profession would likely be a popular profession, becoming second only to combat professions.
Unfortunately, in this era dominated by combat, while Artifact Refining has some utility, it is ultimately limited. Unless high-Rank Artifact Refiners can develop items that pose a certain deterrent to Disasters, low-Rank professionals achieve very little.
Sitting in the modified vehicle returning to the North District, Li Teacher specifically sat next to Shen Xingyan and Chu Wei, asking Shen Xingyan about his awakened profession in a voice only the two of them could hear, and recording it. He had to report the results of this trip to the school upon his return.
Shen Xingyan also answered Li Teacher's question directly. When he uttered the four words "Farmer profession," his words were filled with calmness, making people feel that he had completely accepted his fate at this moment.
Teacher Li heard Shen Xingyan's answer and thought to himself: As expected, the profession Shen Xingyan awakened is indeed difficult for people to accept. It truly is a pity for this child's efforts over the years!
Although he felt extremely regretful, as a teacher, he could do nothing. After all, Awakening was not like the old college entrance examination where you could find ways to get another chance to study if you didn't do well. Awakening was an irreversible process.
Li Teacher patted Shen Xingyan's shoulder reassuringly, then put away his record book.
Other information about lifestyle professionals did not need to be recorded according to regulations. Firstly, for the child's self-esteem, and secondly, lifestyle professions did not require them to be cultivated with priority, so detailed information recording was unnecessary.
Teacher Li recalled those diligent and hardworking children from before: some had smooth sailing, Awakening a profession with unlimited potential, and ultimately found their place in this era;
Others, like Shen Xingyan, awakened a lifestyle profession and then faded into obscurity. This made him unable to help but sigh at the terrifying dominion of fate, the operator!
