Awakening the Useless Class...But I am Secretly the Strongest!

He then headed toward the skill exchange section of the Association.

He had obtained plenty of skill books from the undead monsters he had hunted over the past few days, and most of them were useless to him.

After selling the skill books, the final valuation left Ryan slightly surprised.

He had earned more than 5 billion AC from the skill books alone.

Ryan looked at the amount displayed on his phone.

"That’s a lot of money."

He nodded with satisfaction.

"Looks like hunting high-level monsters really is profitable."

"Though most of the credit goes to my talent," Ryan said with a smile.

He then headed toward the market to purchase the materials needed for the Sacred Ward Totem.

He can strengthen his parents since they were already Awakened, but his sister had not awakened yet. However, the permanent nature of his totems meant he could engrave them onto her body beforehand. She would then be able to activate them even without being awakened

After some searching, Ryan found the materials he needed.

The total cost came to nearly one billion AC. He also purchased several other materials and protective items that could be engraved onto his sister.

"These five should be enough."

Ryan nodded as he stored everything in his inventory.

He then continued walking through the market.

"This place has a lot of things."

Ryan looked around at the various shops selling equipment and treasures.

After a while, he entered an equipment store.

"Hello, how may I help you?" the receptionist asked.

"I’d like a defensive item for a non-Awakened person."

The receptionist nodded.

"Of course. What rank would you like, sir?"

"Hmm, Rank 2 should be enough."

"Is it for a male or female?"

"My sister."

The receptionist nodded and brought several small items from behind the counter.

"We have bracelets, necklaces, and even hairpins. You can choose whichever one you prefer."

Ryan looked at the items displayed on the table.

"Are all of these Rank 2?"

"Yes. Although they look simple, each one contains a Tier 3 defensive spell called Great Holy Shield."

She picked up one of the bracelets.

"Great Holy Shield is a powerful defensive spell. It can protect the wearer from physical attacks as well as many negative status effects."

Ryan examined the items carefully.

"Hmm. Then I’ll take this bracelet, this necklace, and this hairpin."

The receptionist blinked.

"Sir, if you’re buying all three, you might as well purchase a Rank 3 defensive treasure. It would provide much stronger protection and might even cost less than buying several Rank 2 items."

Ryan shook his head.

"No. I mean, she can activate all three if she has more than one defensive item, right?"

"That’s right."

"Then I’d rather give her several weaker defensive items instead of one powerful item."

The receptionist looked slightly confused.

Ryan explained his reasoning.

"Having only one powerful item would make her completely dependent on it. If it gets damaged or loses its energy, she would have no other protection."

He pointed toward the three items.

"With several independent defensive items, she can use them separately and have additional protection if one of them is unavailable."

The receptionist nodded.

"That’s true, but there’s another concern. Giving too many magical items to a non-Awakened person can cause excessive mana exposure."

"Excessive mana exposure?"

"Yes. A non-Awakened body isn’t designed to handle large amounts of magical energy. Long-term exposure to too many powerful treasures can sometimes cause Mana Overload Syndrome, which can seriously affect the body’s natural development."

Ryan nodded thoughtfully.

"Then three should be enough."

He looked at the three items again.

"I don’t want to give her too many."

The receptionist smiled.

"That’s probably the safer choice."

Ryan paid for the three items and stored them in his inventory.

"With these and the Sacred Ward Totem, she should have enough protection for now."

He then left the store and continued through the market, looking for anything else that might be useful for his family.

As Ryan continued walking through the market, he soon came across a beast shop.

He glanced at the creatures displayed outside but quickly shook his head.

"My spirits are better."

He walked past the shop but stopped after a few steps.

"Well, I guess girls like cute things."

Ryan turned around and entered the shop. He decided to buy a cute pet for his sister.

"Welcome, sir. What would you like? We have a variety of beasts, from battle-ready creatures to household pets," the receptionist said.

"I want something cute but powerful for my sister."

"Of course. We have many options. Is the beast for a girl?"

"Yes."

The receptionist smiled.

"Then I recommend this beautiful three-tailed fox."

She pointed toward a display.

"Not only can its three tails eventually grow into five, but it can also reach Rank 5 after maturing. It possesses powerful illusion magic, making it both cute and useful."

Ryan wasn’t impressed.

"Show me the real beasts."

The receptionist understood what he meant.

"Please come with me."

She asked another receptionist to take over the front counter and led Ryan toward the back of the building.

They soon passed through a large spatial gate.

Ryan looked around in surprise.

The inside of the building was completely different from what he had seen outside.

"This place is huge."

"Thanks to spatial expansion magic, we can keep a large number of beasts here," the receptionist explained.

Ryan looked around.

A massive forest stretched before him, filled with trees, grasslands, small ponds, and open fields. Various beasts moved freely throughout the area while many caretakers looked after them.

"Even when I first came here, I was amazed," the receptionist said.

As they walked through the area, several small beasts noticed Ryan.

Some approached him cautiously and sniffed his clothes.

Others ran around his legs, while a few climbed onto the receptionist.

She laughed and gently picked them up.

"These little ones are very friendly."

She took some food from her inventory and fed them.

The beasts quickly gathered around her, happily eating the food and jumping around her feet.

Ryan smiled at the sight.

They soon reached an area where several Spirit Foxes were kept.
