Chapter 10

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The so-called “Awakened Home” was an organization that specialized in recruiting people who were not officially recognized but who had C-rank skill or even higher. Cui Anyu’s mother worked there, so she was able to find an invitation letter for the unranked Cui Anyun.

After thanking Mrs. Liu, Cui Anyu hugged the invitation letter and lay down on the bed.

If this invitation had been handed to her earlier during the day, Cui Anyu would definitely have rejected it, because she felt that a rank-less ordinary person wasn’t worthy of it.

However, things were different now. Cui Anyu felt that other skills had awakened in her body. Although she couldn’t become a beastmaster, she could still fulfill her ambitions.

Beastmasters were the only occupation recognized by the authorities. The appraisal stones in the academy were supposed to comply with the official regulations. They could only determine the rank of a beastmaster and couldn’t determine other skills.

Now, Cui Anyu wanted to go to the Awakened Home to appraise her skills, which would determine her future.

All of this hope was given to her by Yu Guang.

Cui Anyu held up the invitation letter to her mouth. Her mind was filled with Yu Guang, and she fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, Cui Anyu packed her things and set off early.

The headquarters of the Awakened Home was located in the southeast of the city. Before the demon beasts wreaked havoc, there used to be a university town there. There was the liveliest snack street and the most prosperous shopping center.

Unfortunately, the university town was invaded by the demon beasts. Then, the Awakened Home started a war with the demon beasts. After the tragic war, only the ruins confirmed that someone had been here before.

The awakened ones built a base on the spot and recruited members there.

Cui Anyu’s car was parked at the university town, which was also the entrance of the Awakened Home.

A man with neatly combed hair and gold-rimmed glasses stood under the camphor tree at the intersection, looking at the time on his watch.

Cui Anyu hurriedly got out of the car and ran over. “Hello, Are You Mr. Le Tai?”

“You must be Miss Cui Anyu? I’m Le Tai, your receptionist. Nice to meet you.” The man who called himself Le Tai was gentle and refined. He reached out his hand to Cui Anyu.

Cui anyu replied, “I’m very happy too. I’ll have to trouble you today.”

“Then let’s go in now.” Le Tai turned around and led the way.

There was no clear sign of the Awakened Home. There was only a general area. As the resources of the entire human society were not very abundant, only a few necessary houses had been repaired in the entire university town. So, without a guide, it was easy to get lost.

“Please be careful.” Le Tai jumped over a three-meter-deep crack and turned around to reach out his hand to Cui Anyu.

Cui Anyu accepted his help and jumped over the crack and curiously poked her head out to take a look. She saw that it was pitch black below, and there was an inexplicable attraction like an abyss.

“There are a lot of obstacles nearby, so please watch your step,” Le Tai reminded him like a gentleman.

“This is a lot rougher than I imagined,” Cui Anyu said.

Le Tai heard her comment and covered his mouth as he laughed. “Miss Cui, I’m sorry for making a fool of myself. However, our place is still a lot cleaner than the Chaos Revolutionary Army.”

Cui Anyu had heard of the Chaos Revolutionary Army in class.

In the course of human history, due to the chaotic invasion of demon beasts, they were divided into the civilizations of the demon beasts before and the struggles of the demon beasts after.

As for humans, they were naturally divided into two parts. One part was the officially recognized awakened ones—beastmasters with the ability to resist demon beasts—while the other part was the unrecognized awakened ones.

The former established the “Beastmaster Association.”

The latter split again. A portion of the awakened ones fell into chaos and used their skills to commit crimes, establishing the “Chaos Revolutionary Army” to overthrow the current system.

As for the other portion of the awakened, they maintained their original intentions. They believed that the enemies of humanity shouldn’t be enemies. Even if they weren’t recognized by the authorities, they still remained on the same side as the authorities, taking it upon themselves to expel the demon beasts. This was the Awakened Home.

Therefore, although the Awakened Home was from the same origin as the Chaos Revolutionary Army, due to their stance, they wanted to be closer to the Beastmaster Association. On the other hand, the Chaotic Revolutionary Army, who stood on the opposite side, would occasionally be used as material to make fun of them.

Cui Anyu’s ambition was to drive away demon beasts, so she naturally didn’t have a good impression of the Chaotic Revolutionary Army, who were slashing at their own people.

“Mr. Le Tai, you’re such a jokester. How long will it take for us to arrive?” Cui Anyu asked. She wasn’t good at joking, so she wanted to end this topic as soon as possible.

“We’ll be there soon,” Le Tai said with a smile.

The two of them walked into a church-like house. The tall, spiked roof pierced through the clouds, and a blue flag floated at the top. It was the same color as Cui Anyu’s invitation letter.

“Here we are.” Le Tai pushed the door open.

Inside the church, in front of the cross, there was a jade-green stone that was as tall as a person. From afar, it looked like a huge jade. That was their appraisal stone. It could appraise all skills and levels except for familiars.

Cui Anyu walked into the church, her footsteps echoing. She walked past an empty chair and nervously swallowed.

She wasn’t sure what level her awakened skill was. Logically speaking, the Awakened Home should have lowered the requirements to C rank, which was already very easy.

However, with the frustration from school, Cui Anyu still felt very uneasy.

“If only Yu Guang were here,” she muttered in her heart.

When she realized this thought, Cui Anyu was shocked. Since when did she become attached to him? She even thought of him as an average person.

Cui Anyu shook her head hard to get rid of all these distracting thoughts and put on an ice-cold face that hadn’t changed for years.

“Let’s begin.” Cui Anyu walked to the appraisal stone and gently covered it with her jade-like hands.

Her heart was beating nervously, but there was no emotion on her face.

Unlike before, the appraisal stone this time was emitting a sharp blue light! “S” appeared on the inside of the stone!

“Oh my God! It’s actually an S rank!” Le Tai exclaimed from the side. “I’m going to tell the chief about this. He’ll be very happy!”

Cui Anyu was expressionless as she blinked her eyes. She herself couldn’t believe that her skill was actually S rank! This made her momentarily unable to tell if it was an ability given to her by Yu Guang as a beastmaster, or if it was her own skill in the first place.

But she was still happy! She wasn’t a level-less cripple! She was a rare S-class! Although she wasn’t as good as Yu Guang’s SSS, she was closer to him.

Cui Anyu couldn’t wait to start cultivating right away, because this was the only way she wouldn’t be left behind by Yu Guang!
