Blue Star, Great Xia, Jiangnan Base.

The playground of Jiangnan No.1 High School.

"The job change ceremony officially begins!"

On the podium, Sun Shoujun, the principal of Jiangnan No.1 High School, stood ramrod straight.

He surveyed the three hundred students below the stage and said in a strong voice:

"Those whose names I call, please come forward to participate in the job transfer ceremony."

"Wang Hu!"

A boy with a somewhat simple and honest appearance walked up.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he reached out and touched the crystal.

The moment they made contact, the crystal lit up with a light, and then a line of text appeared on the crystal.

[Class: Knight]

A considerable disturbance immediately erupted from the crowd.

"Wow, I can actually become a knight!"

"Close-combat powerhouse!"

"I'm so envious..."

Sun Shoujun smiled at Wang Hu, "Not bad, you will definitely become a powerful knight in the future."

Wang Hu couldn't contain his joy. "Thank you, Principal!"

The teacher glanced at the list and said, "Next, Qian Zicheng!"

A student walked up to the crystal and placed his hand on it.

"Professional Thief!"

Qian Zicheng was stunned for a moment, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"Don't be discouraged, kid," Sun Shoujun said with a smile. "Although you're a bit weak in melee combat, you're fast and agile, so there's a lot of room for you to shine."

"Next!"

"Xiao Bing, professional [tailor]!"

"Zhou Cang, profession: Hunter!"

...

"If I could change my class to become a Storm Mage, would there be a statue of me at the gate of our school?"

"Dark Flame Ancient Dragon? A being that could wipe out the entire Jiangnan Base with just one? You'd better forget about it..."

"I want to switch to the Knight class, a well-rounded player with both offensive and defensive capabilities! A top-tier forward!"

"Tsk, no ambition. If you're a man, switch to gunner. Mid-range firepower coverage, you're insane! Imperial University has been focusing on developing center-backs in recent years, and my dad's been waiting for good news from me!"

Most of the students were very excited and started discussing it.

The job transfer ceremony is a major event, attracting not only students and teachers but also prominent figures.

A gaunt man wearing a black mask smiled and said to the person sitting next to him, "This year's prospective students are quite good. Although they don't have any hidden professions, their quality is very high."

"That's right. Tsinghua University has always liked to cultivate guards, and those old guys are getting a little restless."

The burly man next to him chuckled and said, "I don't care about anyone else, those knights are definitely ours from Handong Martial Arts School!"

...

Shen Yi yawned.

As a student, he was no different from the other two hundred or so people on the playground.

Waiting for their name to be called, then going on stage to participate in this so-called "job change ceremony".

But in reality, Shen Yi is not a person of this world.

Ten years ago, he was transported to an eight-year-old child and found himself in a world he knew nothing about.

This world is home to extremely ferocious monsters.

Over the course of ten years, Shen Yi searched through every book he could find, only to discover that the monster originated from a natural disaster hundreds of years ago. He couldn't find anything further, as if history had undergone a major hiatus.

The further back Shen Yi flipped through the records, the more he could sense the horror of these monsters. When they first appeared, they were called "disaster beasts." Their strength far exceeded the limits that humans could withstand, and they almost caused the extinction of the Earth's humans.

Until the emergence of [professions].

It seemed to arrive along with a disaster.

It was discovered that at the age of eighteen, everyone could obtain a profession through a "job change ceremony" and possess the powerful abilities associated with that profession.

From then on, we officially entered an era of nationwide job switching.

...

An hour later, half of the students on the playground had completed their job transfer.

"It's almost my turn... Don't awaken a warrior, don't awaken a warrior! Awakening a farmer is fine, just don't awaken a warrior!"

Some people have already begun to pray silently.

He wasn't the only one; most people who haven't yet awakened to this mindset have the same mentality.

There's a saying circulating among the people.

Samurai are everywhere, but warriors are less than dogs.

The school teaches that there are no weak professions, only weak people.

However, objectively speaking, professions do indeed have varying degrees of strength and weakness.

The Knight is a powerful melee class, excelling in both offense and defense, and possessing formidable strength.

In comparison, the two melee classes, Samurai and Warrior, pale in comparison, with Warrior being a completely weakened version of Knight.

Ironically, there are quite a few people who have awakened to the truth about this seemingly disadvantaged profession.

Most people who switch to the [Warrior] class are not effective combatants, and are even less capable than those who switch to the [Life Skills] class. They are mostly only good for odd jobs or security guards...

Awakening a hidden profession means a complete transformation.

They are far ahead of others in both starting point and ending point, but the probability of awakening is extremely slim.

...

"Next up, Shen Yi!"

It's finally his turn.

Shen Yi walked to the front of the stage and reached out to touch the huge crystal.

Cold and hard, like touching an extremely smooth stone.

"Buzz—"

Just as Shen Yi placed his hand on the crystal, the awakening crystal suddenly trembled.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light appeared above Shen Yi's head!

At the same time, a faint phantom image appeared on the surface of the crystal!

"This is……!"

"A hidden class... Someone has actually awakened a hidden class!"

The teachers were well aware of the meaning behind this strange phenomenon.

"No matter what their profession, Jiangdong Martial Arts School wants them!"

"Pah! You think you can just take him like that? This person has to be from Tsinghua University!"

"Hmph! Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror! When it comes to resources, who can compare to our Imperial University?"

The admissions officers from several prestigious universities were even more anxious than Principal Sun Shoujun, arguing fiercely and even preparing to take physical action.

Sun Shoujun was extremely excited; one can imagine how thrilled he was to have a hidden profession among his students.

Until a line of text appeared on the crystal.

[Class: Mage]

Advanced Class: Necromancer

After the text appeared, everyone fell silent.

"A necromancer...?"

"A necromancer?"

"Wow, the rarest of the rare, a hidden class that appears only once in a century, the Necromancer, hailed as the most useless class without exception, I've only ever seen it in legends!"

The teachers who had been arguing fiercely were all stunned.

"I finally stumbled upon a hidden class, but why does it have to be a necromancer?"

"well!"

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Several admissions officers shook their heads and sighed, their eyes revealing an undisguised disappointment.

Necromancer.

It's both a hidden profession and a useless profession.

The Necromancer's core skill, [Summon Undead], allows him to summon undead creatures. As his level increases, the summoned undead creatures become stronger.

A high-level necromancer can even replace an entire team by themselves.

It doesn't sound weak, but this skill has a major flaw.

First, there's the strength of the summoned creatures.

The necromancer's early summons are not only weak, but also very costly; in other words, it's impossible to accumulate a large number of them.

Even if you spend a long time accumulating a large number of them, the low-level skeletons you summon will only have the combat power of an adult who hasn't changed classes yet.

Being weak means that upgrading is difficult.

The necromancer is not only weak in the early game.

"I once heard that a necromancer refused to believe in the superstition and, relying on his perseverance and family resources, spent decades desperately grinding his way to level 40 to challenge a Silver difficulty dungeon, only to die a gruesome death."

A teacher sighed, "The standard level for the Silver Dungeon is 20. Even a level 40 knight can easily solo it, but a necromancer..."

He didn't continue, but everyone knew what he meant.

"Sigh, it's such a shame that a hidden one finally appeared..."

"Indeed, any hidden profession would be highly sought after."

Sun Shoujun remained silent as he watched Shen Yi, who was still in a daze on the stage.

One moment heaven, the next hell.

At this moment, Shen Yi must be the one who is suffering the most.

"Your Excellency, Principal,"

Shen Yi suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Sun Shoujun.

Is the necromancer really the weakest class?

As an extremely rare profession with little reference value, even textbooks don't want to spend a lot of time introducing it.

Sun Shoujun thought for a moment and said slowly, "Even if it can't fight, it must still have a place where it can be used."

"Perhaps you could consider developing a life skills system..."

He really didn't know how to explain it to Shen Yi.

But after asking the question, Shen Yi didn't pay attention to the answer.

At this moment, he was staring intently at his class panel.

[Class Skill: [Summon Undead] (Consumes mana to summon a permanent skeleton to fight alongside you)]

【Summon Undead】is the Necromancer's initial core skill, and stronger summons can be unlocked as the level increases.

[Bonus Skill 1: Devouring Evolution (Summoned creatures can be strengthened by devouring corpses, souls, and undead creatures, and gaining a portion of the corresponding attributes or skills of the devoured objects)]

[Bonus Skill 2: Infinite Troop Production (Enhances summoning skills, chance to trigger, can randomly increase the number of troops summoned)]

What are the bonus skills?

I've never heard of Shenyi, but that doesn't affect its strength!

[Devour Evolution] grants his summoned creatures the ability to devour.

This means that the monsters killed will not only turn into Chen Yi's experience points, but will also enhance his summoned creatures.

And the "Infinite Troop Production" ability allows him to summon even more skeletons!

Shen Yi has no way of knowing the exact intensity.

But he realized something from the skill descriptions on his panel.

Necromancer, weak?

It seems... that's not the case!
