SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Profession Transfer, Saint Knight!

TL: YYang

Just as countless complex gazes focused on Zhou Yi, an ethereal and melodious voice rang out:

“Light is your faith!”

“Faith is your source of power!”

This voice did not use Chinese.

Yet everyone present could still understand its meaning.

“With the support of faith, the Holy Light will forever protect you, burning away all evil!”

“And I will forever guard by your side.”

Accompanied by the solemn and sacred chant of the Holy Angel.

The platinum pillar of light enveloping Zhou Yi seemed to be absorbed, gradually shrinking.

The shadow of the Holy Angel transformed into specks of light, and under the astonished gazes of the crowd, they all converged into Zhou Yi’s forehead.

Finally, it became a small golden cross.

It was imprinted on Zhou Yi’s forehead and then disappeared.

“Is this the S+ Rank talent, Protection of the Holy Angel?”

Zhou Yi, who had received the Holy Angel’s protection, raised an eyebrow slightly.

He could feel that his entire body was now filled with power, with each attribute increasing by at least 5 points!

Moreover, more importantly, he could sense the lively light elements around him, as vibrant as the sun!

“The oath of the Protection of the Holy Angel, did Zhou Yi acquire a new talent?!”

“Getting a new talent during the transfer ceremony, such good luck!”

“With this commotion, I’m sure he obtained an S-Rank talent!!”

“…”

One of the key indicators of whether someone was worth nurturing was their awakening talent!

The higher the rank of the awakening talent, the more investment it was worth!

Even the two rocket classes at the Second High School were selected based on the ranking of awakening talents.

Now that Zhou Yi had acquired a new talent, everyone present looked at him with eyes full of envy and fervor.

Even the instructors on the podium showed expressions of excitement.

…

The descent of the Holy Angel did not interrupt the transfer ceremony, which continued as usual.

And shortly after Zhou Yi acquired his new talent.

Three dazzling golden runes slowly condensed from the magic formation, appearing before him.

“Huh? What profession’s runes are these?”

“I haven’t seen these profession symbols before; could they be hidden professions?”

“Teacher Li, what do these three symbols represent?”

A student asked Li Xiangyang in confusion.

At this moment, Li Xiangyang didn’t even turn his head, simply staring intently at the three symbols, explaining in a trembling voice:

“These three are all hidden professions!! They are Light Mage, Holy Priest, and Saint Knight!!”

As an 18th-level Warrior, Li Xiangyang had traveled extensively for several years and was well-informed.

After returning to teach at the high school, he had learned and understood much about profession transfers.

Thus, he could immediately recognize the profession information represented by these three golden runes.

“Holy crap? Three hidden combat professions?!! That’s insane!!”

“No matter which one he chooses, Zhou Yi’s future is limitless.”

“After the transfer, Zhou Yi is likely to soar to great heights!!”

“…”

The members of Class Five discussed fervently, their tones filled with envy, and some of the girls in the class had eyes sparkling with admiration.

They knew that Zhou Yi, who had transferred to a hidden profession, would surely receive the highest level of nurturing in the future. As long as he didn’t fall, he was destined to grow into a formidable figure!

Zhou Yi didn’t hear his classmates’ discussions.

At this moment, he was deep in thought, staring at the three glowing runes floating before him.

“Light Mage, Holy Priest, and Saint Knight, all three are hidden combat professions.

Choosing any one of them would lead to a great future.

But since I have three professions to choose from, I naturally want to pick the best one.”

Zhou Yi rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and made his decision.

He reached out his right hand and lightly touched the last rune.

Boom—

The rune dispersed upon touch, transforming into specks of light that merged into Zhou Yi’s body.

A sensation of comfort, as if soaking in a hot spring, spread throughout his body.

After the warmth passed.

Zhou Yi felt a stir in his heart, and his basic information appeared in his perception:

Level: [10]
Profession: [Saint Knight]

“Transfer successful!”

Seeing the information appear in his mind, Zhou Yi was overjoyed.

In this world, where terrifying magical beasts rampaged and various alien races roamed, what was most important for humans?

Survival, of course!!

Among these three professions, Light Mage was a pure damage-dealing profession with few survival skills.

Holy Priest had many survival skills and could even master resurrection skills after the third transfer.

But its combat ability was too weak, serving only as a healer.

The Saint Knight profession, however, was different.

Not only did it have strong healing capabilities, with the potential to master resurrection and even mass resurrection skills in the later stages, but it also had decent combat abilities, making it highly effective for solo dungeon runs!

More importantly, the Saint Knight was a fusion of melee combatant and spellcaster!!

It could learn both melee and spell skills, offering broader future development prospects and greater adaptability!

Therefore, among these three professions, the one most suitable for him was undoubtedly the Saint Knight!

“A hidden profession, Saint Knight, and with at least an A+ Rank talent, who would’ve thought our Second High School could produce such a person!”

On the podium, Principal Luo Heng was incredibly excited, his hand holding the teacup trembling slightly:

“Remarkable, truly remarkable!”

Lijiang City, within the entire Suhang Province, was considered a very remote area.

Lijiang Second High School was ranked at the bottom among several high schools.

In previous years, having a student with a B+ Rank talent transferring to a combat profession was already commendable.

But this year, not only was there a student with an S+ Rank talent, but they also transferred to a hidden profession.

Once this news spread, the school’s enrollment next year would undoubtedly improve!

The government funding the school received would also increase!

Moreover, if Zhou Yi performed well in the college entrance examination and achieved a good ranking, the school’s reputation would be further enhanced!

The entire school would benefit from this!!

TL: Technically what the manhua translated isn’t wrong, but priests aren’t sacred, they’re holy (I think???). I had to title it as Saint Knight since it’s the main focus. Also, no matter how many S-Rank or God-tier talent reveals there are, it feels like it never gets old to me haha.

Rocket class (internet slang) – As its name implies, is an accelerated class where all the best students receive further nurturing. The term originated from a job fair for college graduates attended by Chen Jinqi, secretary of Tianjin Sino-German Vocational and Technical College in 2009.
