Global Superpower: Getting Stronger through Reading

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In 2023, on the Aquamarine Planet.

The blood-red setting sun shone on Orlando City, and strange colors were reflected by the colorful glass.

There was a dilapidated college at the end of the dirty Meteor Street.

There was a crooked plaque hanging on the entrance of the college.

It was Sorcha College!

[In the future, we will eventually become Hunters!]

[We will protect Orlando from the attacks of the monsters!]

[The Class Awakening will take place today!]

In the classroom, Lin Bai looked at the promotional slogans around him with a blank expression.

He…

Where had he transmigrated to?

What was a Hunter?

What was the Class Awakening?

There were also… monsters?

There was too much information. He had to sort this out first…

Right at this moment, countless unfamiliar and familiar memories appeared in his mind.

Then, Lin Bai understood everything.

He had transmigrated to a parallel universe.

It was a planet that was recovering from its magical era!

Danger lurked everywhere in this world.

Countless magical beasts and precious beasts emerged from the underground, forming demon realms and mystic realms.

However, there were also unlimited opportunities in this crisis.

Meanwhile, most ordinary people called the people who hunted for these opportunities… Hunters!

A Hunter was not so much a profession as a general term for a privileged group.

Amongst these people were martial artists, swordsmen, archers, medics, mages, summoners, and others who had special abilities.

Everyone had a dream from the moment they were born — to become a true Hunter!

After all, Hunters were the most respected group in this world.

Not only could they obtain a considerable amount of gold coins at the Adventurer’s Guild every month, they also had privileges that ordinary people could never reach.

After seeing the words “we will definitely become Hunters!”, Lin Bai could not help but curse in his heart.

It had been 30 years since a Hunter appeared in this school that he was in. In fact, no one had even come close!

Just the thought of becoming a Hunter was not enough. This was just like back on Earth, where everyone wanted to become the richest person in the world. However, only one person could be the richest!

It was well-known that Sorcha College was ranked last place in the whole of Orlando City. Only the students with the worst college entrance exam results in Orlando were worthy of coming to this college.

After counting the results of the last test, Lin Bai was almost in despair!

Meanwhile, when anyone from the neighboring Tos Academy stood in front of the Awakening Stone, they would be a Warrior or a Swordsman!

At the very least, they would be a Strong Man!

Even though the Strong Man was an existence that was like a laborer among the Hunters, at least they were a Hunter!

As for Sorcha College…

Forget it. He couldn’t continue looking at it!

“Everyone, calm down!” Professor Cage pushed his glasses and knocked on the blackboard.

The few boys who were discussing monsters finally quietened down.

“The Awakening is imminent. Have you remembered the things you have to take note of? Whether you succeed or fail in the future will depend on today!”

“Lin Bai!”

As the professor roared, a piece of chalk accurately smashed into Lin Bai, who was in a daze.

That was right, it smashed into Lin Bai!

This feeling was as if someone had thrown a pebble at Lin Bai and hit him in the head.

Damn it! What a waste of his strength as a teacher!

Ten thousand curses flashed through Lin Bai’s heart. However, he rubbed the huge bump on his forehead and dismissed all his thoughts.

“You’re still slacking at a time like this. Do you want to be Chefs and Cleaners for life?”

Professor Cage paced back and forth on the podium with his hands behind his back. Then, he pointed at the students below the stage and said, “I know that this is the worst university in Orlando. Furthermore, you guys are in the worst class in this school!”

“Although there’s still less than five minutes before the Awakening that will decide the direction of your life, starting to prepare at the last moment will be beneficial! At the very least, you can become Truck Drivers!”

Damn!

There were only five minutes left. Starting to prepare at the last minute? Even an 80-year-old bachelor would not have such speed!

Thus, Lin Bai rolled his eyes.

Just as the professor was speaking, a bell suddenly sounded.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The professor looked at his watch and pointed to the door. “Everyone, gather at the field. Prepare to go to the Awakening Stone and welcome your future!”

Damn it! Were the last five minutes that he had mentioned taken up by his speech just like that?!

Lin Bai helplessly followed the other students in the class to the school field and prepared for the Awakening.

A boy who was favored by the school walked towards the Awakening Stone and waited for his fate with his eyes closed.

Ding!

A crisp sound was produced as a row of large words lit up on the display panel beside him. [D-Grade Class: Repairman!]

The surrounding people immediately sighed.

As more and more D-Class Classes appeared, the sighs grew louder.

It was not until a girl in a white T-shirt with exquisite facial features and an impressive figure stood before the Awakening Stone that everyone stopped sighing. She was like a goddess that had been frozen in an iceberg for a thousand years.

[SS-Grade Class: Assassin!]

The appearance of an SS-Grade Class immediately caused an uproar.

All the teachers and students of Sorcha College almost instantly surrounded the cold beauty.

“Su Ya, you… you’ve surprised us too much! Our… our school has finally produced someone of the SS-Grade Class!”

The principal wiped the tears from his eyes and spoke emotionally.

“Su Ya…”

“Stay away from me!”

The girl’s cold eyes swept across everyone’s faces. Then, two terrifying and cold gazes shot out from her eyes, instantly scaring everyone away.

Glancing at the excited crowd, Lin Bai sighed silently.

He ignored the crowd and walked onto the Awakening Stone alone.

Du!

What was this sound? Was this thing broken?!

Lin Bai cursed silently.

However, when he turned to look at the display, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

[SSS-Grade Class: Reader!]

Reader?

What Class was this? Why was it an SSS-Grade Class?

Lin Bai was confused. Just as he was about to turn around and ask Professor Cage about this, he turned around and saw Professor Cage smiling at Su Ya.

Forget it. He couldn’t be bothered to ask…

Lin Bai spread his hands. He felt that it was useless to ask such a professor.

Thus, he silently hid the information from the Awakening Stone. He was about to go to the library to see if he could find information about the Reader Class.

At this moment, Professor Cage walked over with a long face. “Lin Bai, what Class have you awakened?”

“The Reader Class.”

Cage immediately had a headache. “Lin Bai! I told you to work hard! Look! The Reader Class? What kind of Class is this? It’s worse than a cleaner! Tell me, is it worthy of the college’s nurturing over the past year? Is it… is it worthy of yourself?”

“Don’t go to the Hunter Elementary Test. Stay here until you graduate, lest you lose your life!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai was immediately unhappy.

What gave Professor Cage the right to say so!

He was of the SSS-Grade Class!
