My Skills Can Evolve Infinitely in a Game-Like World

His question caught Anna off guard. She didn’t rush to refuse, nor did she accept.

Instead, she simply stared at Aurelius with raised eyebrows.

The silence lasted for several seconds.

It was only after taking another puff of her cigarette that her frown finally relaxed.

"Have many Awakeners gathered in the Imperial City? How come you’re so interested in this?" she teased.

"I doubt the events in the capital will affect Blood Sun City..." she said with a faint smile, then shook her head.

"If I’m not wrong, you must be more worried about yourself."

"Has your father invited you to the capital? It’s no wonder you know about this."

Aurelius was not surprised that she had seen through his intentions.

Although most people in Blood Sun City, such as Mia, might not know his true identity, it was not necessarily a tightly kept secret.

At the very least, someone like Anna, a high-level member of an Awakener organization and an instructor of the Ernst Academy, was more than qualified to know Aurelius’ true background.

Especially since the two had interacted before.

Seeing Aurelius maintain his calm expression, not surprised at all by her exposé, Anna looked rather disappointed. She seemed to have wanted to see him panic and scramble to come up with an excuse.

When she saw that her attempt had failed, she snorted in annoyance and continued.

"You’re smart to ask me about this."

"The events in the Imperial City are quite complicated. If you go there without knowing anything, you will likely find yourself in trouble. Even I would find it troublesome if I fell into the capital’s insidious net."

"If something were to happen to you, who will refine Potions for free for me?"

The latter sentence seemed to be Anna’s main reason for helping him.

Without hiding anything any longer, she went straight to the point.

"I’m sure you’re already familiar with how Classes came to be," she said in a solemn tone, completely shedding her previous careless attitude.

"There are generally two methods for a Class to be created..."

"Either a high-Rank Awakener takes action to condense their skills and Talents into one, giving birth to a new Class, or it is directly bestowed by a deity."

As she spoke, Anna removed her feet from the table and leaned down.

She reached into one of the wooden drawers, took out two items, and placed them on the table in front of her.

Their appearances became clear.

It was two statues.

One depicted a warrior carrying a large shield. The other was of a person with their hands cupped across their chest.

Anna pointed at the warrior.

"The former Classes are the most common. They are the ones most people will encounter throughout their lives."

"Whether it’s noble Classes like the Vow Knight Class of your Sol family, or ’civilian’ Classes like Warrior, they all belong to this category."

"As for the others..." Anna pointed at what appeared to be a priest.

"These are the Classes that only members of Churches can possess. Of course, Evil Gods can also bestow such Classes upon their believers."

"The common Priest belongs to this case, as does the Seductress of the Demoness Cult."

Her casual attitude made Aurelius frown.

All believers of the Righteous Gods greatly hated cults and the Evil Gods they believed in.

They considered them to be fake gods, mere imitators who claimed titles they were unworthy of possessing.

Yet Anna seemed to place these Evil Gods and the Righteous Gods on the same level.

For a person suspected of being Priestess of the Sun Church, this was quite shocking.

Unfortunately, Anna did not give him any more time to think.

She brought the two statues closer, forcing them to face each other.

"Common. Elite. Rare. Epic."

"These are the ranks Classes are divided into."

"Common Classes are what 98% of Awakeners will follow. Elite Classes can only be possessed by nobles or members of Awakeners organizations."

"As for Rare and Epic Classes..." Anna shook her head lightly.

"There hasn’t been anyone with such a Class for the past few decades. Even if such people exist, they keep the rank of their Class a secret."

These were things Aurelius already knew.

Despite this, he listened attentively to Anna’s words.

Her solemn appearance, worthy of an Academy instructor, drew him deeper into her explanation.

More importantly, he knew that she would not say all this for no reason. There was no way she was wasting both of their time like this.

Indeed.

Anna did not keep him waiting.

She directly followed up on her previous words, leading the conversation to the true matter at hand.

"In most cases, Classes directly affect one’s future. The higher the rank, the greater the heights the Awakener will reach."

"However, that does not mean that everything is set in stone."

Anna grabbed the two statues, raising her head.

"A Class is already integrated with an Awakener the moment they obtain it. It’s impossible to remove one’s Class under normal circumstances."

"But this does not mean that Classes cannot be upgraded. Or rather, brought to the next rank."

Anna smiled mysteriously, her eyes meeting Aurelius’.

With a gentle move, she brought the two statues directly in front of his face, only inches away.

"Human. Divine," she whispered.

"Two sides of the same coin."

"As long as these sides are fused together..."

Bang!

Crimson flames suddenly burst from Anna’s hands.

Sensing the scorching heat, far surpassing that of his own Fireball, Aurelius instinctively wanted to flee.

But when the flames approached him without causing him any harm, he relaxed.

Anna had no intention of hurting him. She had simply cast the flames in an attempt to demonstrate something.

The crimson flames devoured the two statues under her command. They gradually melted.

Then, under an invisible force, the two liquids began to merge and rearrange themselves.

A few seconds later, when the flames disappeared, the two statues were nowhere to be seen.

They had been replaced by a single statue.

It carried a shield like the previous warrior, but it also wore a robe like the priest. Characteristics of both could be found on it.

It looked somewhat strange. But at the same time, it looked far more imposing.

"... This will happen. A Divine Miracle!" Anna continued after a brief pause.

"An Awakener will finally become ’complete’! Their Class will directly be upgraded to the next rank."

"The royal family has discovered that an opportunity to achieve this will appear in the Imperial City next month."

"So..." Anna tilted her head.

"Do you understand why your father called you back?"
