Chapter 1-The Ultimate Hextech System.

Dragon Kingdom.

Jiangzhou, Yucai High School.

On the playground.

A young girl with a youthful face stood with anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Under the guidance of the job transfer mentor, she placed her palm on a three-meter-high rune stone monument.

"Tian Xiaowei, job transfer complete.

D-rank Forester, a life-type profession."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiaowei's face turned pale, filled with disappointment.

"Tian Xiaowei became a Forester."

"A Forester isn't bad. Major colleges all need people to cultivate spirit plants. At least she won't have to worry about making a living."

"It's just a pity. Tian Xiaowei has always ranked among the top students and dreamed of becoming a Mage."

"Main combat professions aren't easy to get. Over a hundred people have transferred so far, and only about twenty ended up with combat professions. The chances are too low."

"I don't even hope for a main combat profession. I'd be happy just to succeed in the transfer…"

The scattered discussions from the crowd reached his ears as Li Yao shook his head, trying to clear his mind.

Looking around, he froze in place.

He wasn't in an internet café, playing chess with his roommates all night—so how did he suddenly appear here?

"Did I… transmigrate?"

A well-read person, Li Yao immediately grasped the situation.

At that moment, countless memories surged into his mind.

This was a world where games and reality had merged.

The landmass was far larger than his previous life, filled with countless dungeons and secret realms, overrun with monsters.

To resist the monstrous calamities, professionals had emerged.

Every year, high schools across the nation held job transfer ceremonies for students who had reached 18 years old.

A successful job transfer meant rising to the top, while failure meant fading into mediocrity.

"Luckily, the family of this body is well-off. Even if I fail, I won't end up on the streets."

His parents were both Tier 3 professionals and had established an adventurers' guild called Silver Wolf.

In Jiangzhou, they practically walked sideways with authority.

Not to mention…

He seemed to have a rather beautiful girlfriend.

Li Yao's gaze shifted to a young girl in the crowd.

She wore a white dress, elegant and pure.

Jiang Ningyu, the acknowledged school beauty of Yucai High School.

Her physical abilities had consistently ranked in the top five of her grade.

With both beauty and talent, she was practically flawless in the original owner's eyes.

By the stone monument, the mentor's voice rang out.

"Next, Jiang Ningyu."

Jiang Ningyu stepped forward gracefully, like a proud swan, confidently approaching the transfer stone.

In an instant, all eyes were drawn to her.

Even Principal Zhang Yi, who had been frowning in the stands, couldn't help but step closer to the stone monument.

Seeing the principal approach, the transfer mentor suddenly smiled,"This girl is quite impressive."

Zhang Yi was taken aback.

This mentor was a distinguished figure sent from above, solely responsible for overseeing transfers.

"Why do you say that, senior?"

"Her mental attribute is close to the limit. She might transfer into a Mage profession."

"At least B-rank, possibly A-rank."

The mentor spoke calmly.

An A-rank Mage!

Zhang Yi instantly perked up.

Mages were the prized elite of main combat professions—powerful from the early game to the late game, known by many as "walking artillery".

If Yucai High School produced an A-rank Mage, the resources allocated to the school next year would double!

The stone monument activated, glowing brilliantly.

The next moment—

A deep blue rune emerged on the stone, and the surrounding temperature plummeted!

"A phenomenon!"

Zhang Yi trembled with excitement.

A phenomenon meant at least A-rank!

Even the transfer mentor narrowed his eyes at the sight.

"Jiang Ningyu, A-rank Frostbinder, main combat class, magic-type profession."

The result was announced.

The once-quiet playground erupted into chaos.

"Holy crap, it's actually A-rank! No wonder she's my goddess!"

"Frostbinder—an elite class with both control and damage. Its combat strength is almost S-rank!"

"This is a true Mage! One spell can wipe out entire hordes of monsters. Why couldn't I transfer into this?!"

"You're dreaming. Even if you got lucky, could your body even handle the energy?"

"Sigh, I'm so jealous of Jiang Ningyu."

"Damn! I'm even more jealous of Li Yao! An A-rank Mage for a girlfriend—unbelievable!"

Jiang Ningyu was equally thrilled as she stepped down from the stone monument.

However, she maintained her composure well, still appearing as the cold and untouchable goddess in others' eyes.

Li Yao, seeing his girlfriend's successful transfer, gave her an approving look.

Jiang Ningyu noticed, met his gaze briefly, then turned away coldly, as if they were strangers.

Li Yao frowned slightly.

According to his memories, Jiang Ningyu had always been obedient and affectionate toward him.

But now…

Wait!

As memories resurfaced, he noticed something off!

"As a boyfriend, you should make your girlfriend happy, be obedient, and cherish her."

"As a boyfriend, you should treat her well unconditionally, without expecting anything in return."

"As a boyfriend, you should…"

"Brother, we're still students, you can't touch me. At most… you can hold my hand."

"Brother, are these resources from your father? I'm so jealous… Unlike me, I can only afford the lowest-grade nutrient fluids."

On the surface, she had indeed seemed devoted.

But in reality, over the past two years, the original Li Yao had gone from a wealthy young master to… something else.

A creature known as a "simp."

Worse yet, 80% of the training resources given to him by his family had ended up in her hands.

It was common knowledge that job transfers were 70% luck, 30% strength.

With Jiang Ningyu's original conditions, she would have, at best, transferred into a C-rank class.

Without those resources, she wouldn't have been able to withstand the energy burden of an A-rank profession!

Realizing this, Li Yao was furious.

Even though his parents were high-tier professionals, obtaining those resources had required immense effort.

Yet they had all gone to a woman.

Simping really leads to a bad ending!

Li Yao cursed inwardly.

And now, looking at Jiang Ningyu's expression.

She was done pretending.

She had revealed her true colors.

A dark glint flashed through Li Yao's eyes.

His things weren't so easily taken.

At that moment, the transfer mentor's voice rang out again.

"Next, Li Yao."

Suppressing his anger, Li Yao strode toward the stone monument.

Without hesitation, he extended his right hand.

Instantly.

The formation activated, and an immense energy surged into the sky!

The once bright sky darkened instantly, filled with rolling thunderclouds.

Gales roared, and the temperature plummeted!

"Boom!"

A lightning bolt tore through the sky, the winds howling like the end of the world.

"Another phenomenon?!"

The crowd was stunned.

At that moment, the transfer result appeared.

"Li Yao, A-rank Chessmaster, summoning-type profession!"

Silence.

Then—an uproar.

At the same time, a long-lost system notification echoed in his mind.

[Detected dual trauma from job transfer and heartbreak.]

[Hextech System activated in advance!]
