SSS Class Awakening: Start With A God-Level Choice System-Chapter 173: Becoming The Edenbridge High School’s Honorary Principal

Chapter 173: Becoming The Edenbridge High School’s Honorary Principal

-Ding!

[Loading choices...]

[(1) Reject the offer of Principal Magnus, but instead, suggest becoming a teacher.

(Reward: God-Level Teacher)]

[(2) Agree to the offer of Principal Magnus and become Edenbridge High School’s Honorary Principal.

(Reward: God-Level Principal)]

[(3) Agree to the offer even if you already have so many roles and work to do.

(Reward: God-Level Time Management)]

[(4) Choose none of the given options and choose your own path.

(Reward: None)]

As usual, time had stopped as the God-Level Choice System displayed those choices.

Faced with all those choices, Ainsworth couldn’t help but complain, ’Isn’t Choice 2 and 3 the same but just with different rewards?’

’I don’t need to become a teacher or principal, so the Time Management talent seems to be better. Moreover, I’ve already encountered this talent before, but I didn’t choose it before in favor of the God-Level Charm talent.’

’Before, I didn’t choose the God-Level Time Management not because it was weak, but due to it being less useful than God-Level Charm at that time, which could boost my charm stat to the maximum.’

’Moreover, at that time, I couldn’t use the God-Level Time Management talent to its full potential due to a lack of brain computational power and parallel thought processing, but now, with class exclusive skills of SSS-rank Grand Archivist, it’s suitable for me.’

With those thoughts in mind, Ainsworth no longer hesitated as he chose Choice 3.

As soon as he chose that, he received the God-Level Time Management talent, and time resumed to flow again.

Time resumed, and the silence returned to the area.

Ainsworth lifted his gaze and looked at Principal Magnus.

"I’ll accept the title," he said plainly.

Magnus’s pupils shrank slightly.

Before he could speak, Ainsworth continued, his tone calm and unhurried.

"On the condition that nothing changes from how things are now. I will remain a student of Edenbridge High School, and I will not interfere with the academy’s operations unless it is absolutely necessary."

Magnus froze for a moment, then slowly exhaled.

"So you mean..."

"I won’t attend meetings," Ainsworth said. "I won’t manage personnel, nor will I involve myself in internal disputes. If I act, it will only be when you are absent, or when the academy itself is threatened."

Those words carried no arrogance, only certainty.

Magnus straightened his posture and nodded solemnly.

"That is more than enough," he replied. "In fact, it is more than we deserve."

Elyndra glanced at Ainsworth, a faint smile forming at the corner of her lips. She understood his intent immediately.

By accepting the title without embracing its authority, Ainsworth had taken Edenbridge High School under his protection without chaining himself to it.

This way, he could retain the benefits of being the Honorary Principal without promising to take the title and its responsibility seriously.

Moreover, it was Magnus who stated he could act like the Principal when Magnus is absent, so even if he outwardly refused for pleasantries, even Magnus couldn’t retract the authority he had bestowed unless Magnus stated it.

"Then it is settled," Magnus said. "From this day onward, Edenbridge High School recognizes you as its Honorary Principal."

A brief pause followed before Magnus added, with genuine respect in his voice, "And regardless of titles, this academy will always remember who stood between it and destruction."

Ainsworth nodded once.

"That’s enough."

The matter was decided.

Magnus knew Ainsworth’s intentions but didn’t care. No matter what, he knew from Ainsworth’s character that he was trustworthy and that could be proven by how Ainsworth had protected not only the school but also the citizens of Edenbridge City from the SS-rank Otherworld Invasion.

At his level, Magnus no longer cared about worldly matters and authorities. If not for having no suitable successor and also not wanting to hinder Ainsworth’s future, Magnus would have wanted to retire and pass on his Principal position.

However, not everyone could become the Principal of Edenbridge High School. Even the current Vice Principal wasn’t qualified, as only Extraordinary SS-rank Awakeners could become the Principal.

It was also due to that reason that the former Principal only retired when Magnus had become an Extraordinary SS-rank Awakener.

After Ainsworth accepted the Honorary Principal title, Magnus remembered something and took out an Awakener Points card and tossed it to Ainsworth.

When Ainsworth caught the Awakener Points card given by Magnus, he immediately heard a notification from the Voice of The World.

-Ding!

[Do you accept the 200 Million Awakener Points transferred by One-Star SSS-rank Awakener Magnus Ironhart?]

[Yes] | [No]

At his level, Ainsworth no longer cared much about Awakener Points, but also wasn’t at the point where it was completely useless. Just that, it would be an astronomical amount for it to be useful to him.

Since Awakener Points were essentially world origin energy plundered by the Earth Will and diluted into points as currencies for Awakeners, they were a very versatile energy that could be used by Awakeners if they could convert and utilize them.

If not for Ainsworth already having the Skill Grade Synchronizer (Null), he would have used Awakener Points’ world origin to use Ultimate Freedom (SSS) to upgrade them into SSS-grade skills.

After mentally pressing the [Yes] button, Ainsworth received 200 Million Awakener Points and was stored in his Awakener Space Storage. Although it could only be used to store rewards-only items, Awakener Points could still be stored in it, and it was safer than storing them in a real-world bank.

With Ainsworth accepting his Awakener Points transfer, Principal Magnus explained, "The Honorary Principal title was merely my invitation to you, so it can’t be truly considered as a reward. The 200 Million Awakener Points are a reward for you. For not only defeating Monster Lord Skarnax, but also for saving the citizens."

"If you don’t mind, it will be publicized and promoted so that powerful Awakeners like you would be more motivated to intervene in such situations and save the common people during times of Otherworld Invasion."

Faced with Principal Magnus’s statement, Ainsworth didn’t refuse. After all, it would promote his achievements after becoming a powerful Awakener.

"Feel free to do so. If there’s nothing else, I’ll contact my other teammates so we can prepare for the next Otherworld Mission."
