Just call me Thor

Chapter 15: Our race is paving the way for Thor alone



"Jessica's back!" Cain straightened up, surprised, "Mike, she seems really happy!"

"Hey, why isn't she heading to her seat? Is she coming over here?" As the class rebels, Cain and Mike always sat in the back row.

Under Cain's astonished gaze, Jessica actually walked straight towards them! To be precise, she was heading towards Mike! Many in the class noticed the unusual movement and turned their eyes towards them.

"Look, Jessica's going over to brute!"

"What's Jessica up to? I heard brute broke some guy's third leg last time!"

"Who has three legs, dude, you're not talking about his penis... are you?" Many classmates gasped, feeling a chill down there, thinking it might be wise to steer clear of Mike in the future.

Jessica stood in front of Mike's desk, her beautiful eyes looking at him. Mike noticed her and asked nonchalantly, "What's up, trying to hit on me?"

"You!" Jessica was momentarily at a loss for words, almost stomping her foot in frustration. Mike always had a way of killing the conversation with just one line.

Jessica took a deep breath, "Mike... can I ask you a question?"

Mike nodded, "Sure, I've already answered one of your questions."

Jessica: ... This conversation is going nowhere!

Jessica, holding her patience, didn't just walk away. She had to get this question answered. Considering it might involve Mike's secrets, she braced herself and continued, "Can we talk outside?"

"Sure." As he spoke, Mike stood up, walked straight to the window, pushed it open, and jumped out.

The classroom was on the first floor, he was just that confident! Of course, with Mike's current physical condition, even jumping from a five-story building wouldn't hurt him at all.

"What are you waiting for, aren't you coming out to talk?" Mike looked back at Jessica, who was clearly shocked by his actions, having never seen anything like it.

Biting her lip, Jessica decided to follow Mike's lead and jumped out of the classroom window! The entire classroom erupted in excitement!!

"Holy smokes, did I just see that?"

"Is this some kind of elopement?"

The classroom instantly turned into a sea of joy as the ever-chaotic students started to cheer and shout. Jessica, however, wasn't in the mood to pay attention to them; she had just one question on her mind for Mike!

Standing outside the window, ensuring their conversation couldn't be overheard, Jessica cautiously asked, "Mike, why did you bring up switching to Otherworld Summoner before?" "Making a big mystery out of nothing," Mike rolled his eyes and replied nonchalantly, "I did a quick Google search for the best class for an F-grade talent, and top recommendations said Otherworld Summoner."

He even pulled out his smartphone, opened Google, and showed Jessica himself. "Look, this query, [best class for F-grade talent]..."

Jessica was baffled. This was nothing like the scenario she had imagined! Mike was definitely not playing by the usual rules.

"No other business then, I'm heading back," Mike said, preparing to climb back through the window.

"Wait!" Jessica blurted out instinctively, her mind a tangled mess, unable to sort through her thoughts.

Could it really just be a coincidence? It seemed too convenient!

"Something else?" Mike paused, turning back.

Jessica didn't know what to say. Technically, Mike had done her a huge favor-a life- changing one!

Whether it was luck or Mike's guidance, Jessica's talent had undergone a second awakening, undoubtedly benefiting from Mike's favor.

However, she couldn't just blurt out this secret! She needed to keep her second awakening under wraps, not letting anyone know that her talent had upgraded from F-grade to S-grade!

Caught in her dilemma, Jessica didn't know what to say to Mike. Her face flushed, she stumbled over her words, "Uh, you know... we're not supposed to have cell phones in class... just, uh, make sure to hide it better next time, so the teachers don't catch you."

Mike chuckled lightly, effortlessly leaped back through the low window, and returned to the classroom.

After returning to the classroom, Cain shot Mike an admiring glance. "Mike, when did you and Jessica start hanging out?"

The whole class perked up their ears, eagerly awaiting Mike's response. Curiosity is a common trait among humans, especially when it involves a "campus goddess" and a "brute" - a contrast that intrigued many of the teenagers.

"It's not what you think," Mike said straightforwardly, "Jessica just needed some help with her studies, that's all. Don't twist it."

The class fell silent...

Even Cain couldn't help but roll his eyes, marveling at his friend's thick skin. Such a blatant lie, who was he trying to fool?

Regardless, Mike managed to dismiss the curiosity of the entire class in just a few words. Everyone was tactful enough not to dwell on the matter, and the focus of the break chatter soon shifted back to the Tower of Truth, particularly the "legendary Thor."

Ding-a-ling-

The bell rang, signaling the start of the last class of the day as the homeroom teacher stepped back into the classroom. "Before we start, let's distribute these ribbons, pass them back."

The teacher took out a bunch of gray ribbons, divided them into eight parts, and handed them to the students in the front row to pass back. When the ribbons reached Mike, only the last bundle was left. Each ribbon was about 16 inches long, made of a smooth material. [Disposable items that can hide your ID, automatically concealing your ID until you reach level 100]

Mike kept his composure, already guessing what was going on. "What's this? Looks pretty

sturdy."

Cain tugged at the ribbon, but it didn't budge.

"Pay attention, everyone," the teacher announced from the front. "These ribbons have been distributed by the higher-ups, and all students are required to use them. Here's how: wrap the ribbon around your right arm..."

Following the teacher's instructions, all the students wrapped their ribbons around their

arms. In a flash of light, the ribbons vanished.

"Alright, from now on, your IDs are hidden until you reach level 100!"

After the teacher finished speaking, the classroom erupted into a buzz of confusion and

excitement.

"Why hide our IDs?" some students wondered aloud, puzzled by the effort and resources spent just to conceal an ID.

But the quicker thinkers among them connected the dots almost immediately.

"It's for Thor!" one exclaimed. "The best way to hide Thor is to hide him among everyone!"

A drop of water is safest in the ocean, they reasoned. The ribbons distributed by the higher authorities could hide IDs. With every student's ID hidden, Thor's would be concealed as well! It was an effective strategy, no doubt about it. But boy, was it extravagant! Cain, crunching some numbers, muttered, "One of these ribbons must cost at least a million bucks, right? With millions of 18-year-old Awakened around the globe, the expense is just...

astronomical."

Even Mike felt a twinge of pain for the wasted resources. He almost wished he could jump up and declare, "I'm Thor, stop wasting money, just give it to me!"

But of course, he couldn't.

"Quiet!" The teacher tapped the blackboard to regain control of the room. "These ribbons

were crafted by the supreme being Morpheus. When a supreme being gets involved, it's not about the cost anymore-it's about making a statement!"

"The human race, no matter the cost, will ensure the emergence of the fourth supreme being! In other words, our race is paving the way for Thor alone!"

The teacher's voice softened a bit as he continued, "This isn't just an opportunity for Thor, but for all of you! Funding has significantly increased this year, and the benefits for students who have turned 18 are even making some Battle Generals jealous!"

"Students, you are living in the best of times-a time when a supreme being is about to rise. When the sun is high in the sky, why shouldn't there be stars that accompany it? Protecting the path for Thor is also protecting the path for you! Thor's rise is your rise as well!"

His words fired up the students, filling them with a fervent desire to charge into the Tower of Truth and conquer all challenges.

Mike was somewhat taken aback. This speech didn't sound like something a typical teacher would say. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he noticed the teacher glance down at his phone before continuing with his rousing speech.

Well, I'll be darned! The teacher was cheating-reading from a script on his phone!

However, Mike have to admit, the teacher did make one point that really hit home. "When the sun is high in the sky, why shouldn't there be stars that accompany it?" Looking back through the history of our race, every time a supreme being has risen, it has been an era where countless geniuses have shone. Each emergence of a supreme being has heralded a flood of extraordinary individuals, with Battle Lords and Battle Chiefs appearing left and right!

It seems like supreme beings possess a kind of magical power that can propel an entire era

forward!

This is exactly why Thor's SSS-level completion of the newbie instance triggered such a massive chain reaction. Our race has been waiting for the fourth supreme being for far too

long!

Thinking this, Mike glanced at Jessica, noticing a new note appearing above her head: [Second Awakening, S-rank Talent (Divine Blessing): Summons automatically receive divine favor, with a certain probability of summoning powerful beings from other worlds...] Mike had already noticed that Jessica had awakened a second time to an S-rank talent. This wasn't just a case of an ugly duckling turning into a swan; this was an ant turning into a T- Rex!

With an S-rank talent, Jessica just needs to push herself a little, and becoming a Battle Chief would be within easy reach, even having a fifty percent chance of becoming a Battle Lord! Mike seemed to understand something deeper, thinking to himself, "If it weren't for me, Jessica's F-rank talent would never have awakened a second time. With so many special classes available, without any reason, she wouldn't have switched to an Otherworld Summoner, missing the newbie class change opportunity, and she would never have had a second awakening in her life!

That means, because of my presence, an F-rank talent transformed into an S-rank talent, and

our race might gain a female Battle Lord in the future!"

Could this be the secret of the supreme era?!
