Reborn as an Extra Chapter 741: Forgotten World, Cyria-229. Part-9.

"She possesses a rare class!?"
Link and the others were so astounded upon hearing this declaration that their jaws nearly unhinged!
Typically, all awakened individuals globally manifest into one of the five prevalent class systems: Swordsman, Martial Artist, Healer, Mage, or Archer!
The status panels of awakeners and the very process of awakening remain enigmas that have yet to be fully deciphered by anyone.
Consequently, the reason why Swordsman and Archer are regarded as legitimate class systems, while Spearman, Gunman, and other weapon users lack their own distinct classifications, is unknown.
Despite not belonging to these specific class systems, all of them ultimately fall under either the Swordsman or Martial Artist class, often being treated as mere subclasses.
As for being a Summoner, it is a subclass of the Mage class, attainable with relative ease by dedicating oneself to summoning training prior to becoming a true awakener like Liam!
Liam managed to summon his initial summoned beast, Ellie, even before he officially became an awakener. Thus, his class was designated as 'Summoner,' a subclass of the Mage class specializing specifically in the control of summoned beasts.
The probability of successfully summoning a spirit beast before undergoing the awakening process is practically nonexistent.
Only those born with extraordinary innate talent, akin to Liam, possess the capability to achieve such astounding feats; this is precisely why every Summoner encountered worldwide is invariably a prodigy.
Furthermore, opting for the Summoner path presents a perilous choice, as it entails relinquishing numerous advantages inherent to the Mage class due to the class's intense focus on summoning.
Liam can still acquire magical abilities by leveraging the affinities of his summoned beasts in reverse, primarily thanks to his exceptional talent and unique nature; however, this is seldom the case for ordinary Summoners.
Lastly, the Healer class encompasses a vast array of subclasses, including Alchemist, Therapist, and others, which represent merely a fraction of its many branches.
Generally, the majority of the world's awakened individuals manifest classes or subclasses originating from these five common archetypes.
Yet, exceptions invariably exist for every rule in this world.
Certain rare classes exist, appearing so infrequently in the annals of history that they surface perhaps once in several centuries!
Rio's father, Kevin Flash, was such an awakener, possessing the rare class of 'Assassin'!
The rarity of these classes isn't attributed to their inherent power or superiority over other classes, but rather to the sheer infrequency of their appearance.
Ancient records mention only a single individual possessing a rare class during the thousand-year demon extinction war, and following that, there was solely Kevin Flash.
From this sole statistic, it becomes readily apparent that these rare classes are so exceptionally unique that they are documented only once in a millennium!
To this day, the total number of distinct rare classes extant in the universe remains unknown, as only two beings have ever been recorded to have awakened them in this world.
Therefore, the revelation that Yasna possessed a rare class termed 'Psychic' was no trivial discovery!
"Not only does she possess a rare class, but she was also born an awakener right from the start!? That sounds exceedingly like someone destined for the realm of demigods!"
Riya's eyes widened in sheer astonishment as she meticulously scrutinized Yasna, her gaze sparkling as if beholding a priceless treasure!
"We absolutely must prevent such immense talent from being squandered before it can reach its ultimate potential!"
"Her vitality is being funneled towards that altar, and as Lia indicated, her threads of fate have also been rewoven; if we intend to rescue her, we must first address that altar..."
While articulating these words, Link and his companions commenced a telepathic exchange.
[Lia, can you discern what is sealed within that altar? Is it an SS-rank entity?]
In response to Riya's inquiry, Lia replied in her characteristic composed tone,
[I will require a closer examination of the altar from a proximate position to ascertain the true nature of that object...]
[Furthermore, my intuition strongly suggests that to uncover a path back to our home and unravel the mysteries of this planet... we must thoroughly investigate that altar and directly confront whatever entity lies sealed within its confines...]
Upon hearing this, Link let out a sigh and voiced his thoughts.
[Sigh, what is that fellow Rio doing at critical moments like these when we require his presence... he's perpetually absent when significant events unfold, tch!]
[Given his exceptional stealth capabilities, he should be able to infiltrate the altar's sealed domain with ease and procure valuable intelligence...]
[How much longer must he engage in aerial combat? Sigh... Don't tell me he's unaware we are also on this planet and has already teleported away independently...]
Listening to Link's litany of complaints, Lia calmly retorted.
[He’s situated up there and with his formidable detection capabilities, Rio would have already sensed our arrival. His absence now suggests he remains locked in combat...]
[What truly astonishes me, however, is the existence of an individual capable of prolonging a fierce exchange with Rio for such an extended period without yielding! What sort of formidable entity has Rio confronted this time, I muse, to become so deeply ensnared with it for so long...]
Link drew a profound breath upon absorbing these statements and then articulated,
[Very well, should Rio continue to remain absent for several more hours, I shall venture into the cosmic expanse to ascertain the circumstances surrounding him...]
[For the present moment, let us devise a strategy to confront this peculiar altar and meticulously unravel its hidden enigmas...]
Though the fate of the half-orc populace held no direct consequence for them, these individuals possessed an inherent inclination to leverage adversity as a catalyst for enhancing their personal cultivation.
Link and his companions were entirely unaware of the reasons behind their translocation to this particular planet, nor who was responsible for instigating their arrival or their underlying motives.
Yet, much like the instances when they were arbitrarily displaced by Alverto within the ascension spire, each of them embraced this occurrence as a propitious occasion to broaden their perspectives, acquire novel experiences, and pursue significant advancements in their martial prowess!
Furthermore, cognizant of Rio's possession of a long-range teleportation scroll, the contingent felt no urgency to return home, as they possessed the means to depart at their own discretion whenever the desire arose.
