Chapter 19
Today was Liam''s birthday, Nick was sitting quietly under the great maple tree and meditating. He was waiting for Liam to come to him. Nick was very excited about Liam''s classes. By the evening he was finally able to meet him.
"Hello, are you finished?"
"Ha-ha, you''re still asking?! I waited for you all day, what could you do for so long?"
"Hah, I was dragged to use my magic, you know, the feeling was completely different than usual, you''ll soon go what I''m talking about."
"It doesn''t matter, tell me what classes you took and what skills you got?"
"Hah, you''re too impatient. I chose [Mage of Variable Water Weapons][Rare] as my main class, and [Holy Diamond Dust Mage][Rare] as my second class. As I said, I plan to combine them, and with my rare race, I''ll become the pinnacle of our generation."
"Hah, it''s like you think other Reincarnators aren''t like us!"
"Mmm, you''re right. From the skills, I got Parallel Thinking [Uncommon], it actually splits your thought process into two, very convenient for casting spells. The second skill is Compress Holy Mana into Diamond Dust [Uncommon], it allows me to pump diamond dust with holy mana more powerfully and quickly, nothing special, but very useful."
"Strong, show what characteristics you get from classes and from your race."
"Okay, from the race I get +35 stats per level, from the first class +40 per level and from the second +35 per level. That''s it, exactly." Liam created his status screen on the ground using diamond dust.

"Not bad, even very good!"
"Yeah, I''m going to some important place for my parents tomorrow to train, so I just stopped by for a bit."
"It''s a pity, I wanted to ask, do you know anything about when we''re going to the academy?"
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
"Yeah, mom said they''re looking for as many people as possible who have the potential to get the [Rare] class at level one."
"I see, what do you think they will teach us at the Academy?"
"I have many assumptions, but we will definitely be taught how to fight monsters, people, evil spirits and learn higher-level spells."
"Yes, I think so too, I hope they won''t try to control us."
"Don''t worry, one of the archmages is taking care of it. So everything will be fine, but it''s time for me to go home."
"Yes, I''ll walk you to the portal." That''s how Nick and Liam said goodbye at the portal.

Today Nick turned 15, recently he received a message about the academy that after receiving a class he should go to the capital Alexandria. Royal Academy, that''s what awaits him. Without wasting time, he opened the status.

Nick was glad to see so many classes, but the most surprising thing was that he got a unique class. Nick read in the library that these are people who first opened the class and use it. He did not know what bonuses were given for this, but he was sure that they were significant. He was also pleasantly surprised by the [Soul Energy Manipulator] [Rare] class.

The description was so-so, but he was sure it was true. It was supposed to be a niche class that would later evolve into something powerful. But he wasn''t interested in it.

Nick liked the look of his new status, looking at it he was a little disappointed that he couldn''t add soul related skills to his class. It was a shame, apparently to do that he would have to weave them more closely into his magic. The title [Class Line Progenitor][Legendary][Uniquely] gave another +10% to his class multiplier, which he really liked. The skill [Life Force Manipulation][Uncommon] he could add to his second class, but he didn''t want to do that. It was better to learn another school of magic and then add it to his main class. Looking further he found one interesting notification.
Congratulations, you have been granted access to the Skill Shop. Your achievement in creating a [Uniquely] skill has allowed you to purchase a skill of the same rarity available to you in the shop.
Nick couldn''t believe his eyes, he saw a bunch of different skills, some worked due to endurance, or life force and even soul energy. There were a lot of them, but he immediately noticed a pattern. He could not acquire skills that gave him innate knowledge. Let''s remember that he could not acquire a skill of another sword style, or a skill of knowledge of some school of magic. He acquired skills that helped him in any school of magic, or specialized skills of evaluation. All this was very strong, and he could not wait for the moment when he went to the academy to learn about the most powerful skills.
