I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Chapter 1: The Only Hidden Class, the Unbreakable Barrier!

Huaxia, Tianhai City.

At the Awakening Square of No. 1 Middle School, today is the day when senior high school students collectively change jobs.

"Hey Lin Yuan, which class do you most want to awaken?"

A young man of average to above-average appearance came over, put his arm around Lin Yuan's shoulder, and asked with a smile.

This person is named Xia Chen. He comes from a good family and usually takes good care of Lin Yuan. The two have a good relationship.

Lin Yuan looked at him calmly: "Is this something I can choose?"

"If given the choice, who wouldn't want to awaken a primary combat class?"

"By the way, it's best if they're not a defensive class," Lin Yuan added.

"This profession is on the battlefield, charging at the front to absorb damage, and their death rate is higher than some squishy assassins, mages, and even supports."

Xia Chen scoffed: "You're overthinking it."

"Based on your physical examinations over the past three years, your mental strength is not weak, and your blood and qi are also high. The chances of awakening a warrior or mage class are quite high."

Xia Chen chuckled, fantasizing, "If it were me, I'd want to awaken a Sword and Shield Knight—both tanky and high-damage!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan simply shook his head.

Although with current technology, no one would fail to awaken.

However, the probability of awakening a main combat class is less than 20%.

Among them, the probability of awakening a higher-level profession is even more frighteningly low.

Occupations are categorized by level as common, intermediate, advanced, rare, and legendary.

During their conversation, the awakening ritual began.

The awakening crystal ball on the high platform kept lighting up and then going out.

"Zhang San, an ordinary worker, lives a normal life."

"Li Si, advanced combat class, Night Assassin."

Time passed by little by little, and some people were happy while others were sad.

At that moment, the voice of the teacher presiding over the awakening ceremony came through.

"Next up, Class 3-1, Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan, whose name was called, stiffened for a moment.

Even if he were to live a second life, his heart could not be as calm as it appeared when faced with such a ceremony that would determine his future destiny.

That's right, he's a time traveler.

As he stepped onto the stage, most of the school's attention was focused on him.

For no other reason than that he was first in his class for the past three years.

There was no way to travel from a peaceful world to such a dangerous one.

He was filled with motivation.

What if I fail to survive when I go out for training because I don't have enough theoretical knowledge?

Regardless of what profession you awaken, theoretical knowledge is always very important.

Perhaps because he was a time traveler and usually paid attention to training, his mental strength and blood energy were not low.

Just then, a sweet voice came from Lin Yuan's class.

"Brother Lin Yuan, after we awaken our class, let's go raid the beginner dungeon together! It's a promise."

Lin Yuan turned around and saw that it was Chen Xiaoman.

"Damn it, what does Chen, the class beauty, see in Lin Yuan? It's just that his grades are a bit better!"

"What's so great about it? Once you awaken a support or crafting profession, you'll behave yourself."

Just as many people were grumbling, Xia Chen turned around and glared at them: "If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"

The others immediately fell silent.

Xia Chen's family also holds a certain position in Tianhai City.

Don't be fooled by his usual cheerful demeanor; there are very few people who catch his eye, and they certainly don't want to be resented for it.

Lin Yuan simply nodded calmly to Chen Xiaoman and then placed his hand on the Awakening Crystal Ball.

He neither confirmed nor denied Chen Xiaoman's words.

hum-

The magic circle swirled, its light dazzling.

A golden beam of light shot into the sky, and within the beam, the phantom of an ancient and heavy shield seemed to flash by.

"An anomaly! This is an anomaly!" many students exclaimed.

Only professions of rare rarity or higher will exhibit unusual phenomena upon awakening.

Principal Lu Yun, standing beside the platform, nodded with satisfaction.

"After such a long period of awakening, a rare profession has finally appeared."

"Judging from this strange phenomenon, is it defensive? Could it be the rare class, Holy Knight?"

As the top student in his grade, Lin Yuan naturally received a lot of attention from the principal.

But after the light faded, they were stunned.

Because a line of golden words appeared above Lin Yuan's head.

[Unique Hidden Class: Unbreakable Bulwark (Giant Shield Knight)]

The square was first deathly silent, then erupted in uproarious laughter.

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! A pure defensive giant shield knight?"

"Uniqueness? The only cannon fodder? Does this class even have damage output?"

"I thought it was a legendary class, but it turns out it's just a shield. What a waste of such a great phenomenon."

When Lin Yuan experienced unusual phenomena during his awakening, he thought he would awaken a decent profession.

As a result, he pooped a huge one!

The type of shield knight he least wanted to awaken was this kind of giant shield knight with little offensive power.

Even if it's unique, so what!

This is not a game.

Even if you have high defense, it will still hurt if you get hit while blocking damage in front of you.

However, if you are accidentally hit in a vital area such as the head or heart by an enemy's attack, and this triggers a penetration or armor-breaking effect...

No matter how much blood you have, you will still die!

That's why we said earlier that defensive classes have the highest mortality rate in dungeons and battlegrounds.

Moreover, because there's not much output, leveling up is slow.

Unless you have a powerful player to guide you through leveling up in a team, or you have connections in your family, it's difficult to even get into a second-rate university.

Many people's eyes were darting back and forth between Chen Xiaoman and Lin Yuan.

They all knew that Chen Xiaoman was always around Lin Yuan not only because he was handsome, but also because of his good grades, especially his mental attributes, which were the best in the whole school!

Everyone thought he could awaken a top-tier mage class.

But now that Lin Yuan has awakened the tank class, so what if it's a hidden class?

At most, their defense is slightly higher than that of rare tank classes, but isn't that the same? They still have to be on the front lines taking damage.

Moreover, it's not that hidden professions are necessarily good; some hidden professions are even worse than some rare professions.

Chen Xiaoman's smile froze for a moment, though it quickly returned to its sweetness, but the hint of disappointment that flashed in her eyes did not escape Lin Yuan's notice.

Lin Yuan understood immediately; it was indeed the case.

He sighed and began to check his attribute panel.
