Just call me Thor

Chapter 14: A second awakening



For some reason, the class Mike had mentioned kept swirling around in her mind, refusing to dissipate.

Seeing Jessica's intrigued expression, the vice principal continued to persuade her, "The Class Change Pool prepared for you is no ordinary one. It contains many special classes, and you might even stumble upon some hidden ones! This opportunity is incredibly rare; miss it and you might never get another chance in your lifetime!"

Jessica was well aware of the uniqueness of the Class Change Pool. Her family, the Morrows, with Battle Chiefs at the helm, had resources far beyond the average person.

A typical Class Change Pool session could cost up to a million dollars, but the Morrows had gone all out for Jessica's class change, investing over ten million dollars just in special materials!

"Alright, I'll listen to you," Jessica agreed to proceed with the job change, visibly relieving the vice principal. They were all worried that Jessica, stubborn as she was, would insist on sticking with the mage class and miss this one chance to switch.

If that happened, and her grandfather returned to find his precious granddaughter had turned into a complete dud, nobody wanted to face the wrath of a Battle Chief!

Jessica then asked, "Does the Class Change Pool include the option for [Otherworld Summoner]?"

"It should," the vice principal muttered, pulling out his phone to check. "Yes, it does. But why ask about that? The Otherworld Summoner, although a special class, is quite weak. You only get one shot at changing classes, don't waste it on something like that."

As the vice principal led the way, he kept advising Jessica, "Try to pick a support class, even Tailor would do! We'll find a master tailor to teach you, and you can still achieve great things..."

His words went in one ear and out the other for Jessica. Her mind was completely fixated on [Otherworld Summoner], and she couldn't help but lean towards choosing it.

"Mike, why couldn't he have made things clearer? This is driving me crazy!" Jessica fumed internally.

She knew she had to change classes; her F-tier talent was a poor match for a mage, and continuing down that path was a dead end.

But the Otherworld Summoner, as an unpopular and weak special class, wasn't much better

off!

If Jessica followed the vice principal's and her family's plans, her future path might not be smooth, but it wouldn't be too rough either.

Breeze through college, apprentice under a prestigious name, work in some inconsequential positions, get married, have kids... Her life flashed before her eyes like a carousel.

Was this the life she wanted? A life where she could see the end from the beginning, even clearly envisioning what her tombstone would say?

Jessica imagined a tombstone, glamorous on the outside but decaying within, inscribed with the words: "Here lies a woman named Jessica. She once lived, and died the day she turned 18, the day her talent awakened."

No, this was not the outcome Jessica wanted!

"Jessica, Jessica." The vice principal stopped walking, noticing Jessica's distraction, and softly called her name twice, "We're here."

"Oh, right." Jessica snapped back to reality, realizing they had arrived outside a classroom. "Go inside, activate the Tower of Truth mark, and you'll enter the Class Change Pool." The vice principal repeated his earlier advice, "Remember what I told you, choose a support class, one of the hidden or special ones!"

"Got it." Jessica pushed the door open, her fingers trembling slightly as they touched the wood.

Was this the moment that would change her fate? She didn't know. Even the choice of [Otherworld Summoner] was merely something a classmate had casually mentioned. "Relying on something like this, I must be out of my mind," Jessica muttered to herself sarcastically. "But do I even have another choice?"

Activating the Tower of Truth mark, she entered the Class Change Pool, where numerous precious hidden classes appeared before her. Yet, Jessica's gaze bypassed all these options, fixating on a seemingly insignificant class in the corner.

Otherworld Summoner!

"It's do or die, just this once!" Jessica took a deep breath, psyching herself up. "If I make the wrong choice, I'm going back to Mike to settle the score. At the very least, he owes me a dinner!"

Jessica steadied herself, took a step forward, and made her final choice.

Class Change-Otherworld Summoner!

A pale golden light enveloped Jessica, giving her no time to react, as a pleasant notification sound rang in her ears.

"Class change successful, Otherworld Summoner!"

"Trigger condition for second awakening of talent, talent reawakening!"

"Second awakening talent: S-rank, [Divine Blessing]!"

""

Jessica's expression went blank, her pretty face as still as a sculpture, her mouth agape in an 'O', motionless for a long time.

Her vision blurred as tears silently streamed down, waves of ecstasy washing over her soul!

A second awakening?!

An S-rank talent?!

She had actually awakened a second time!!

The joy of the moment was beyond words. Her legs gave way, and Jessica collapsed to the ground, bursting into tears.

At this moment, she had too many emotions to release.

The pressure of her F-rank talent, the pointing fingers, the whispers behind her back, her mother's pitying looks, the tears she secretly wiped away...

All of that was irrelevant to Jessica now!

An F-rank talent awakening into an S-rank talent-would anyone believe such a story if she

told them?

After what felt like an eternity, Jessica slowly pushed herself up from the ground, took deep breaths to calm herself.

"Stay cool, stay calm!" she reminded herself, not to get carried away.

"Right now, everyone thinks I'm an F-rank talent. No one knows I've reawakened! This is my

biggest secret!"

Jessica was smart, showing a maturity far beyond her peers.

A classmate, also awakened as an F-rank talent, had taken the day off, reportedly having a breakdown.

"Look at Thor, suspected to be an SSS-rank talent, his identity is highly confidential, no one knows Thor's real identity! An S-rank talent will attract a lot of bad attention, better to keep

it under wraps..."

Jessica made up her mind; she would never reveal to anyone that her talent had awakened a

second time!

She planned to work hard in secret and then dazzle everyone!

The legendary [Thor] was Jessica's idol and the target she aspired to reach!

After making up her mind, Jessica suddenly realized something.

"Why did Mike bring up the Otherworld Summoner out of the blue?!"

Without Mike, Jessica would never have made such a choice.

Being as sharp as she was, Jessica immediately suspected, "Could it be that Mike knows the

conditions for my talent's second awakening?"

Just the thought made Jessica's heart skip a beat. If that were true, it would be terrifying!

She had to clear this up with Mike!

With that thought, Jessica activated the Tower of Truth mark and returned to Earth.

She pushed open the door, and there stood the vice principal who had been waiting for a long time. He quickly asked, "So, what Class did you choose?"

The special Class Change Pool this time had cost the Morrow family over thirty million dollars

in visible expenses!

In reality, counting various materials and favors, it was at least a hundred million dollars! Even for a Battle General, earning a hundred million would take years, no small sum.

If Jessica had chosen a regular Class, it would have been a huge loss!

Jessica looked up confidently and said, "Otherworld Summoner." "What?!" The vice principal almost choked, nearly letting slip a curse.

Such a waste!

But this was his good friend's beloved granddaughter, so the vice principal couldn't be too

harsh. He just waved his hand resignedly.

"Alright, you young folks have your own ideas. Go on then."

"Thank you. Can I go back to class now?"

"Go ahead, go ahead."

As the vice principal watched Jessica's departing figure, he felt something odd.

"This girl, she was so downcast before. How come she seems so revitalized after the class

change?"

"Could there be something more to it?"

The vice principal noted it in his mind but didn't delve deeper.

Everyone has their secrets, and Jessica's path was hers to walk alone.
