Raymond browsed once more through the system window. Apparently, it can be called. After plenty of attempts to summon it, it can be called "System." Crazy, but Raymond's guesses were inspired by the books he had read.
Finally, Raymond was reading all the way through the description of Chapter One. The requirements that he had read before, and the previous description were only a summary. Raymond should understand more of them first.---Chapter One: Awakening CeremonyAfter awakening a # Grade Talent, you will receive your first skill from the same ceremony. You will be tasked with improving your grasp of the Talent you have and will come to the academy after a month.The month will decide if the student is qualified to be supported by the village. If the student couldn't grasp more of their Talent, the village would put them on the waiting list where their studies would be extended for two years for them to learn more about it.---Raymond nodded as he tried to understand every word of the contents he had read.It was amusing, but not to the point that he was surprised that the premise of Chapter One would focus on the academy.However, he should not jump to a conclusion. This was just the beginning of the description. He would have to read more.Raymond read a censored part of the description. Even with how curious he was, he only dismissed it and continued reading the remaining texts. It was the final, after all.---Chapter One will cover five years. Three years before the awakening, one year for the academy, and another one year after the academy. Hence, it will end when you are 17 years old.But in this chapter, what needs to be learned are relationships, affairs, and monopoly. It would be beneficial for you if you had the three skills, but if you are unable to have all the three, learn the last skill, monopoly.By monopolizing things around you, you will achieve more in life. Achieving things in life is what the purpose of this life is. You are destined for greatness, but you should work for it.---Raymond sighed at the final text in the description. How should he react to it? Was it challenging or confusing? In fact, he didn't know since all of it was nothing to him.He wasn't excited by the contents of the description, as it wasn't that helpful at all. What was more useful were the memories he had from the day before. The memories from the plot combined to form his core memory.There were plenty of feelings he felt that rushed through his system from remembering the scornful moments in this memory. It wasn't memorable, but it should not be forgotten. Even if the plot could be changed, he won't be complacent.What was in his memories from the plot was friendship. It was the relationship he had built since childhood. However, he speculated that he wasn't the only one who had a great future if successful.He speculated that there may be one or more than one who is destined to be great in the future. That was why the first chapter prioritized relationships first.The sign was for Mission # 2. It was clear that he had to make some preparations for the future. And then, the second sign was vague. He still doesn't know what's supposed to happen after five years.The range of his knowledge only stopped at the first five years; the next years were not included, so he knew that this was a sign to prepare things."Hmm... the affairs. To be more specific, it should be political matters."There was political involvement in Chapter One as well. Since he had some challenges, crashing into powerful people was one of them. The power comes from politics, meaning, the higher officials in the village.There were village elders. Most commonly called "Lord" by the village men, they were not the only ones who had political power; there were merchants as well.Apparently, they have influence over politics too."I guess I should also note that one." Raymond gritted his teeth as he remembered one thing from his memories.Two years from now, Raymond will have a fight with a rich kid because said rich kid bullied his childhood friends, Anna and Arthur.It wasn't supposed to be a fight, but since that kid was clumsy in a slightly awkward manner, he tripped and had wounds on his legs. Because that rich kid was the son of a powerful person in the village, this was used to push them to the corners.Absurd, right? Because it was only in this manner that they suffered. His father was cut from the hunting job and his family was not supplied with fertilizer. That made their family useless to the clan.And as absurd as it is as well, this family covered that up from the other officials, making them look like lazies. And so, they were on the edge of being kicked out of the clan.Well... it's only happened since that kid asked his over-loving father to punish them. And how stupid his father was, that it all happened.But Raymond didn't have the will to stop it. He had a card prepared in case that happened in the future. And he is willing to hide it from anyone.Finally, the monopolizing skill to be learned from this chapter.Well, it was almost certainly because Raymond should keep the information he obtained in order to exert control over others. That was why this injecting plot section was very useful to him. Even with the challenges, he still has advantages.Raymond smiled, then stood up from his seat. He still had three years to enjoy as most of the challenges happened in the 4th year of Chapter One, the starting of the ceremony, and the academy."I should practice learning how to control mana. It kinda sucked that mana was the most prominent energy in this world, but eventually, it will turn into my MP since I am not normal like others."Apparently, Raymond had a system like a game. He didn't need to focus on widening his mana coverage since MP, will be presented as his main magic power.What was it? Well, it was only beneficial for him since he could get rewards from it and expand it without any difficulties.

The three noble children were flabbergasted by Raymond's reply. They went silent, intently looking at him with their wide eyes. Then one of them spoke up about their demands."You do really want to go the hard way, commoner. Even if you have an A-grade, you are still a commoner, so you have to listen to us."Just as this person said, everyone was surprised. The other students came to a halt and began prying on the scene. They were loud at the time, and that was why they were grabbed onto the scene. However, what they could notice was that, no matter how infuriated the noble children were, Raymond remained calm and unbothered by their tantrums."Hey, commoner. Even if you are backed by General McWorthy, you don't have the right to ignore nobles. That doesn't mean that you are equal to us, even if you are an A-grade.""He is right. Be thankful and be honored that we invited you to join our group. You have been useful to us since you were performing well.""Are you actually a dimwit? If

"Ah, no, it is a casual question, it is not the actual question."Raymond smiled and nodded. "Will I have more points if I answer your question?"Kian was speechless, as were Raymond's classmates. They blankly looked at Raymond with disbelief because of his blunt words. He just blurted it out, and it ended up being an absurd question.Kian had a gap in his lips and he slightly gave an answer, which he was not sure was needed."You will have more points."Raymond was overjoyed. "Yes!" Then he faced Kian. "Okay, teacher, you may now ask me another question.""Does an awakened person have only one Talent?""No, because there is a second awakening and a third awakening. The second awakening mostly happens when the person has already mastered their Talent and has two pure Skills out of it. Meanwhile, the third awakening is so rare that no one could tell when they would awaken again.""And what is the use of the sphere? Can they just use it again and awaken if they like? ""The sphere is no

Everyone went to their seats and left Raymond's place as their teacher went in front of the class and introduced himself."I am Kian Waymoore. I am your adviser and also your main teacher in any subject. There will be just a few adjustments in the future with the other subjects, but for the whole year, we will be together." Kian stated in a monotonous tone, which made the intensity of his aura that much higher.Kian proceeded with taking chalk from the table and drawing something on the chalkboard."First, what you need to learn is what Talent is. It is the most important thing that an awakened person must know. So listen attentively. Talent is crucial. It is the life of an awakened person.""Talents have different types. There were some that were already discovered, but there were some that remained a mystery. For starters, E-grade has the highest similarities with others. Some were for lifestyle, some were for combat, some were for healthcare, and other

Reputation was important for individuals who wanted to establish their names in an organization or environment. Hence, Raymond thought that what if he showed that he was not an easy person to approach? So, on the first day of the academy, it was already clear that his batchmates would be looking at him. It was already that much to think of, as his face was already in public. However, what was not widely known in the public was his attitude. Hence, for the whole two years under the academy, Raymond intended to use his attitude as the major factor for getting people to give him space. But the question was, why would he put much effort into having his own space? 'It is already obvious that the plot changed. Hence, the difficulty changed to the point that it would be difficult for me to filter things out. So, instead of letting other people unintentionally mask my vision, I would push them to have a clear path and a clear vision of what to see.' I

Raymond returned home and celebrated with his family. Gandina, who had assisted and trained him for the past few months, joined the fun of Ramond's family. It was satisfying for Raymond, but later on, he knew what he should focus on.The academy offered board to him, to cater to him to their fullest extent since he was the 4th A-Grader in the village. Even McWorthy was surprised by it, and he immediately revealed his connection with Raymond.Raymond backed it up, and after a week of back-and-forth with the academy and other officials attempting to poach him, he finally had peace of mind."I finally fixed the problem with my family. We are now living financially stable with the help of General McWorthy, but there is still one thing that I wanted to have."It was security for his family. McWorthy could not offer it since his men were focusing on fighting criminals. Even Gandina was just an exception to it and was ordered to protect Raymond's family."I apologize for that, Raymond. But,

Everyone looked at Raymond laid his hands on the orb. The orb was turned on, and the light indicated that the orb was starting to surge with energy to measure Raymond's grade.Five seconds passed, and everyone started to bet on what Raymond's grade could be. But they were simply underestimating him, as they had done to others.But the village elder was confused. Raymond seemed to not care about what was happening to him. His eyes were just staring at the orb with no certain expression, and that made his eyebrows raise in perplexity.'What with this kid?' he asked himself.15...Raymond already passed the 15th mark, which indicated that he was at least higher than a D-Grade. He could be C-Grade, but he passed the 20th mark as well.A B-Grade? That was amazing, and everyone's eyes flickered in amusement and excitement."Wow..."But then, they weren't expecting it. Raymond passed in the 25th second."An A-Grade!"26...27...28...29...Raymond suddenly collapsed away from the orb, and j
