“Hughes, congratulations, congratulations!”

The homeroom teacher’s face was flushed with excitement.

His magic talent was at C-grade, the lowest grade.

However, his student was an SS-grade.

This was a supreme honor!

It could be bragged about for a lifetime!

Cleveland, was the other class’s homeroom teacher, he was always competing with him.

Hmph, this time, let us see if you can be this awesome!

“F*ck… F*ck!”

Blair stared at Hughes, his mind blanked.

Although he had enough confidence in his friend.

But who would dare to think of SS-grade!

In Blair’s opinion, he would be happy to settle for a B-grade.

After all, Hughes’ family conditions were not as prestigious as others, and he couldn’t compare with those big families that had received specialized training since young.

When Hughes walked down, he was greeted with envious gazes.

Hughes walked past them with a normal expression.

With the help of the system, the second SS-grade magic talent had been awakened.

If they knew that he had double SS-grade magic talent, they would probably be shocked!

“Blair, it’s up to you!”

Hughes walked to Blair’s side and said to him.

“I don’t care.”

“Anyway, I have you to protect me from now on!”

Blair said with a cheeky smile.

He was genuinely happy for his friend.

“System, check the attribute panel.”

Just when he was on the awakening device, the attribute panel appeared.

But at that time, Hughes didn’t have the time to check.

As soon as Hughes finished speaking, a virtual attribute panel appeared in his mind.

[Host: Hughes]

[Realm: Low-level Mage]

[Magic Attribute: Light Magic (SS), Dark Magic (SS)]

[Magic: None]

As long as he had awakened elemental magic, he would be a low-level mage.

In the future, he would have to rely on his own skill to slowly increase his level.

Looking at the column of magic attributes, even though Hughes had a calm temperament, he could not help but smile.

These ten years had indeed not been wasted.

As time slowly flowed by, the awakening ceremony of class six had also come to an end.

Other than Hughes who had awakened SS-grade, there was no SS-grade in the class of fifty people. There was not even an S-grade.

An A-grade had unexpectedly appeared.

It was none other than Hughes’ deskmate and friend, Blair.

Blair had awakened wind elemental magic.

The sudden appearance of an SS-grade in the class had really delighted Bill.

He had even begun to imagine that the school might reward him with a house.

This was not impossible.

A few years ago, Groton High School had an S-grade, and the school had rewarded him with a house.

Now, Hughes had awakened an SS-grade talent. Even if the school did not reward them with a house, it wouldn’t be much different.

However, other than Hughes and Blair, only a few people had awakened a C-grade talent.

And 31 people had not awakened elemental magic.

Bill was already very satisfied with this result.

Even the way he walked back was different.

When he was about to reach the teacher’s office, Hughes happened to see Cleveland leading the people from class five to the Hall of Awakening.

“Bill, what are you so happy about?”

Cleveland looked at Bill’s happy expression and could not help but mock, “Is there only one awakening in the Class?”

Cleveland and Bill usually had a lot of fights. Basically, they would always have a big fight when they met.

If it was before, Bill would definitely have a big fight with Cleveland when he heard Cleveland’s mocking words.

But today was different, his student had done his best and awakened the SS-grade talent.

Bill smiled and patted Cleveland’s shoulder and said in a low voice, “Cleveland, our class’ Hughes has awakened the SS-grade talent.

“Cleveland, don’t be envious. It’s all fate!”

After saying that, he did not care about Cleveland’s expression. He raised his head and laughed loudly as he led Hughes and the others back to the classroom.

“SS-grade, SS-grade. This… how is this possible?”

Cleveland’s pupils constricted, and his lips began to tremble.

As for the students of class five, all of them were envious.

As soon as they returned to the classroom, Hughes was taken away.

To the principal’s office.

A burly middle-aged man excitedly said to Hughes, “Hughes is here. Come, come, come, sit!”

This was the principal of St. Peter’s High School, Nicholas.

A powerhouse at the level of an archmage.

This was the first time Hughes had seen the principal.

Originally, Nicholas was very dignified and mysterious. Even some teachers rarely saw this principal.

But now, the scene in the office made people think that Hughes was a leader.

“Hughes, I didn’t expect you to awaken an SS-grade superpower.”

After saying that, Nicholas couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

With this result, he could move up to another position.

No wonder Nicholas was so excited.

“You really made me proud!

“Just now, we discussed it and decided to give you a reward.”

Nicholas’ words stunned Hughes for a moment.

“The school plans to give you 200,000 dollars.

“As for the honor, I still have to consult with the higher-ups. What do you think?”

Ever since Hughes had awakened his SS-grade light magic talent, Hughes’ status and significance had changed completely.

Hughes nodded and did not say anything.

Two hundred thousand dollars was not a small sum of money for both the school and Hughes.

As for the honor, Hughes did not care. After all, it was just an empty title.

Looking at Hughes’ calm expression, Nicholas was slightly stunned before he said, “According to the rules of the past years, anyone who has awakened an s-rank magic talent will be sent to the four great mage academies.

“And because you are an SS-rank, in a few days, the four great mage academies will definitely come over to take advantage of you.

“Do you have any academies that you have a preference for?”

The four academies were the Rivandeo Academy of Magic, the Queensferry Academy of Magic, the Lach Academy of Magic, and the Paramus Academy of Magic.

The four academies had a long history and had a deep foundation.

These were the dream academies of countless low-level mages.

Every year, countless people worked hard to get into the four academies.

Moreover, those who could enter the four mage academies would be at the level of advanced mages after graduation.

Many talented people could even advance to the level of a great mage.

To countless low-level mages, the four great academies were the guarantee for status, wealth, and strength.

In addition, there were also connections and a huge amount of resources that ordinary people could not even imagine.

These were things that ordinary academies could not provide.

Hughes was in a bit of a dilemma.

The four great academies each had their own unique characteristics, so it was not easy for Hughes to choose.

Moreover, he did not have much hope of attending the four great academies, so he did not know much about them.

Therefore, Hughes looked at Nicholas and slowly said, “Principal, which college do you think I should go to?”
