Chapter 1173: Chapter 480: Reward Awakening Chapter 1173: Chapter 480: Reward Awakening “You’re saying, was our decision to join the Awakeners School right or not? It’s only our first mission, and even under the protection of so many teachers, there have already been so many injuries, and Xiao Hui almost died… If we stay here for another couple of days, with our strength, I’m afraid we’ll directly become fertilizer for the mutated plants…”

In Stone Forest, three students had just set up a temporary tent and were slumped next to a lamp post. One of them, a somewhat plump man, spoke softly.

“Heh, regret it? That’s not what you said before. You said getting into the Awakeners School was a blessing from your last eight lifetimes…”

A tall man beside him spoke somewhat incredulously.

“Cough cough… That’s because I didn’t understand before! I thought we’d undergo a lot of training at school and go on a mission occasionally. Who knew that on the first day of school, we’d come to such a dangerous place…”

The plump man sighed with a bit of embarrassment.

“No pain, no gain! Don’t you want to become an Awakener? If you don’t put in the effort, you’ll never get the chance even if it presents itself! Cherish this opportunity while you have it!”

The tall man spoke up again.

This mission was indeed dangerous, but he did not regret it. After all, he had chosen this path and he wanted to become an Awakener.

“I have no doubt that our school can cultivate Awakeners; after all, our principal and teachers are all Awakeners, and with the strong support from the City Hall, there’s no question about it. But the thing is, this is a long-term process–it’s not possible to awaken immediately. And the further we go, the more dangerous it gets. I’m just a lowly Level Two, so I’m afraid I’ll never get the chance to become an Awakener…”

The somewhat chubby man said in a low voice, among these two hundred students, he was the one with the lowest strength.

Hearing this, the tall man sighed inwardly but did not argue.

He had no doubts about whether the school could cultivate Awakeners, but whether it would be his turn was questionable. After all, time was a big issue, and given the current situation, whether he would survive to return was an even bigger issue…

He glanced unconsciously at their last companion, a lean young man who had only recently become a Level 3 Ability User. His strength was considered mid-level among the two hundred students. The three of them had a good relationship already, and having been assigned to the same class, they looked out for each other…

The tall man then asked,
“Yan Hui, what about you? Do you regret it?”

“I don’t regret it. This might be my only chance in life to be close to Awakening. I can’t give up! Even if I really die… that would be my fate.”

The lean Yan Hui gently touched the bandage around his forehead, looking down at the blood on his hands, he spoke without raising his head.

He knew his strength was not up to par and that his talent was lacking. He felt that being chosen by the Awakeners School was pure luck, so he cherished this opportunity!

The tall man had been somewhat shaken before, but seeing Yan Hui, who had almost died, unafraid, what did he have to fear?

Even the somewhat pessimistic plump man felt a surge of confidence.

Just as he was about to speak again, he saw the academic director suddenly approaching.

“Director Pan!”

The plump man quickly stood up to greet him.

Yan Hui and the tall man also quickly got up.

“Good evening! Dinner is ready soon, and it’s going to be substantial. Make sure you don’t oversleep!”

Pan Jian said with a smile, not showing any airs of being an academic director.

It was the Apocalypse, where power ruled above all, even within the Awakeners School. Although he was the academic director, his actual job was to serve the principal, the teachers, and all students well.

The principal and teachers, needless to say, were Fourth-order Awakeners; these students, although not Awakeners yet, all had the potential to awaken in the future. And he was just an ordinary Level 3 Ability User with average combat power… Therefore, he knew his place and how to interact with these people.

Of course, there was another reason: among them, someone had been given the chance to awaken. With a bit of luck, they might become an Awakener tomorrow!

“Understood! Thanks for the reminder, Director Pan!”

The plump man hastily bowed.

In his heart, he felt that Director Pan was really responsible, personally coming over to notify them about the meal.

However, after delivering the message, Pan Jian did not leave immediately but turned to look at Yan Hui.

“Your injuries are not serious, are they?”

He asked with a look of concern.

“Thanks for the concern, Director Pan. It’s nothing serious, I’m much better after Teacher Lan’s healing, and I should be completely recovered by tomorrow.”

Yan Hui scratched his head.

The Teacher Lan he was talking about was naturally Lan Yulian. Lan Yulian, like several others, held a teaching position at the Awakeners School, occasionally teaching and guiding students.

“Good, I’m relieved to see you’re alright!” Pan Jian smiled and nodded. Then, suddenly he added, “You, come with me to see the principal.”

“Ah? Okay! But, Director Pan, do you know why the principal wants to see me…”

Yan Hui first responded and then scratched his head again. Seeing that Pan Jian seemed approachable, he tentatively asked.

The other two were curious about why the principal would want to see Yan Hui.

“Of course, it’s good news! Your performance was very good this time, and Principal Wang has a reward! Whether you can awaken in your lifetime might depend on this moment, so, you need to seize the opportunity firmly! Come on, come with me.”
