Chapter 67: CLASS CHANGED

"Class change scroll?" I muttered, staring at the glowing item in my hand.

"So this thing can change my current class into ’Instructor’...?"

A part of me wondered if this was just another hidden class, or maybe a reward from some secret quest. Either way, I had no idea where Rex got it from—but it didn’t matter.

What mattered was this: the world I thought I knew was far bigger than I imagined.

Even with my regression, with all the memories I brought back from my past life... I still felt like a frog trapped in a well. In terms of both power and knowledge, I was still in the shallow end.

"I’ll think about this later," I muttered, stuffing the scroll into my inventory for now.

But then Hui stepped closer, her eyes flickering with concern.

"Chen Yu... if you change your class, won’t you stop being a Lawrenderer? I don’t know much, but... it sounds risky. It might make it harder for you to fight."

Her words made sense. A new class could mean losing everything I’d built so far. The Lawrenderer class wasn’t just strong—it was unique. Replacing it might set me back or worse... leave me vulnerable.

"I was thinking the same," I replied quietly. "If I give this scroll to someone else... maybe they’ll benefit more from it."

But before I could consider that further—

Ding!

A system prompt suddenly appeared before my eyes, flickering with a golden light:

[System Notification]

Would you like to fuse your current class [Lawrenderer] with [Instructor]?

— Fusion Result: You will gain all Instructor-class skills while retaining your Lawrenderer abilities.

— Fusion Attempts Remaining: 1/1

"Wait, what?" I blinked in surprise.

"I can... fuse classes?"

That changed everything.

So this was what Rex meant earlier—when he warned me to think carefully before choosing my path.

With this fusion, I wouldn’t lose anything... Instead, I’d gain everything. I’d keep my foundation as a Lawrenderer while acquiring the power to train and strengthen others.

A gamble, yes. But one that could change everything.

"With this... I can lead my allies toward real strength," I thought.

"Not just fight alone—but create a force."

I looked at Hui again.

"I think it’ll be worth it. I’ll go for the fusion."

She looked startled. "You can fuse it? That’s incredible... but—"

Her expression shifted. "There must be a drawback, right? It’s too good otherwise."

As if summoned by her words, another system prompt flashed before me, colder this time:

[System Notification]

Warning: Fusing classes will make Secondary Awakening significantly more difficult.

— No further details provided.

My stomach dropped.

"Damn it," I cursed under my breath. "What kind of difficulty? Can’t you tell me anything more, system?!"

But the system stayed silent.

I gritted my teeth.

Of course. When you need it the most, the damn thing shuts up.

Still... I couldn’t afford to hesitate. Not now. Not when the fate of the people around me would one day depend on how far I could grow.

Even if the path ahead became harder... I’d just have to walk it.

Meanwhile, Hui silently stared at me, her thoughts darker and more possessive than before.

"If he becomes too powerful... he might start ignoring me. I can’t let that happen. I have to grow stronger, too. I will grow stronger."

She didn’t voice these thoughts aloud, of course. Chen Yu remained blissfully unaware of the quiet obsession forming in her heart.

Taking a deep breath, I nodded.

"Alright. Let’s do this."

[Confirm Fusion?]

→ Yes

→ No

I tapped Yes.

The scroll disintegrated in my hand, releasing a surge of brilliant golden energy.

A warm yet powerful aura wrapped around my body like a storm made of light. My Lawrenderer core pulsed, resonating with the foreign energy of the Instructor class. My vision blurred briefly as a message burned itself into the air:

Fusion Successful. You are now: Lawrendering Instructor

New Skills Acquired:

— [Discipline Field]

— [Comprehension Boost]

— [Tactical Insight Lv.1]

— [Bond of Growth]

— [Skill Imprint (Locked)]

My body trembled—not from pain, but from sheer overwhelming potential.

This was the beginning of something entirely new.

And I was ready for it.

Just as the golden aura from the fusion began to settle around me, another prompt materialized before my eyes—shimmering faintly in silver, as if even the system itself was cautious about revealing this much information.

[New System Function Unlocked]

— As the Lawrendering Instructor, you have unlocked the ability to assess potential.

— You can now see an individual’s innate Potential Rating represented in numbers, ranging from 1 to 10.

— A score of 10 represents extraordinary potential.

— In rare or special encounters, potential can exceed 10, though such cases are extremely rare.

— As an Instructor, you will gain strength when your disciples grow stronger. Their progress becomes your progress.

— Your version of the Instructor class is Rare Grade, while standard Instructor classes are of Excellent Grade.

Then, to my surprise, more information flowed in—more than the system had ever shared before:

[Class Grades Ranking]

— Good

— Very Good

— Excellent

— Best

— Legendary

— Rare

— Hidden Rare

Note: Classes in the "Rare" and "Hidden Rare" categories may either possess overwhelming power or be extremely situational. However, in their respective domains, they are unparalleled.

I blinked in astonishment.

"The system has never spoken this much before..."

It was as if the fusion had not only upgraded my class, but also unlocked a deeper level of trust between me and the system.

As I processed this, I suddenly realized that everyone was staring at me.

Hui stepped closer, a hint of concern in her eyes. "Chen Yu... what’s going on? You’ve been too quiet."

Meiyun frowned. "Is something wrong?"

Even Ruxue, usually calm and composed, looked slightly unsettled.

Roman and Vornark exchanged glances, their instincts picking up on the shift in my demeanor.

I quickly snapped out of it and gave them a reassuring nod.

"Don’t worry. It’s nothing bad," I said. "In fact... it’s something really good."

I clenched my fists lightly, feeling the pulse of power running through me.

"Let’s put this new ability to the test."

I activated my newly unlocked assessment skill, directing my gaze at Hui first.

A small translucent screen appeared beside her:

[Name: Hui’er]

Potential: 10/10

My eyes widened.

"A perfect score..."

I always knew there was something extraordinary about her, but seeing that confirmed it. Her potential was unmatched.

Next, I looked at Ruxue.

[Name: Bai Ruxue]

Potential: 9/10

Then Meiyun.

[Name: Lei Meiyun]

Potential: 9/10

I continued the process—

[Name: Vornark]

Potential: 9/10

[Name: Roman]

Potential: 9/10

I felt a surge of pride and anticipation.

"They’re all incredibly gifted. If nurtured right, they could become monsters on the battlefield."

With this Instructor class, I could now see their paths more clearly than ever before.

This wasn’t just about me becoming stronger anymore.

It was about leading them—guiding each of them to surpass even their own limits.

The gamble had paid off.

And now, it was time to turn potential into power.

I looked at all of them, my eyes firm and voice resolute.

"It’s time for some serious training, everyone. If we want to help Vornark reclaim the Beast Kingdom, we can’t afford to stay the way we are now. We need to become stronger—together."

The air grew heavy with purpose.

Everyone turned toward me, eyes sharp with determination, but also something else—trust.

Hui, Meiyun, Ruxue, Roman, and Vornark—each one of them met my gaze, no hesitation in their eyes.

And then, almost in perfect unison, they said:

"We’re ready. Let’s begin."

For the first time in a long while, I felt something stir in me—not just power, but leadership.

I turned toward Hui first. Her potential rating was 10—perfect. There was no doubt she had the capacity to surpass even me if she wanted. I held out my hand, activating my Instructor skill, ready to officially take her in as a disciple.

A light shimmered between us—but before the connection could be completed, Hui raised her hand and gently stepped back.

"No," she said softly.

I blinked, slightly stunned. "Hui?"

Her eyes met mine, calm and unwavering.

"I know you want me to become stronger, and I appreciate it. I truly do," she said. "But I can’t accept you as my master."

A slight frown formed on my face. "Why not?"

She hesitated for a moment, then looked away, as if trying to suppress a deeper emotion.

"It’s a tradition from my homeland," she finally said. "In my clan, we are allowed only one master in our lifetime. I already have one... and I won’t break that vow, not even for you."

I was silent for a moment. I understood.

But still, it stung a little—not because she rejected me, but because I wanted to be the one to guide her. To protect her.

Then, she looked back at me, a soft smile playing on her lips.

"Don’t worry," she added. "I’ll train with all of you. I’ll fight by your side. But I won’t walk behind you—I’ll walk with you."

She turned away, her expression unreadable.

But in her heart, her thoughts burned fiercely:

"I won’t let myself be under you, Chen Yu. I’ll become stronger in my own way. So strong that you won’t be able to live without me. You’ll need me—not as a disciple, but as your equal."

I stared at her for a long second, then slowly nodded.

"Alright, Hui. I’ll respect that."

I turned toward the others.

"Then let’s begin. We’ll start building power, not just for ourselves—but for the war to come."

The training had just begun.

And our journey toward becoming legends had officially started.
