Earth
Azure Dragon City, Azure Dragon Academy
The enormous plaza was packed with students from Azure Dragon Academy.
Renji Takahashi stood among them, listening as the instructors gave passionate speeches to the crowd.
"Students, you've worked hard for three years, enduring countless days and nights for this moment!"
"Today will decide your future. I hope each of you awakens the powers meant for you!"
In this world, when people turned eighteen, they awakened their supernatural talents.
There were countless abilities—elemental manipulation, beast transformation, spiritual enhancement, support systems, weapon mastery, and rare unique powers.
But Renji Takahashi wasn't from this world.
He had crossed over from Earth, where students learned subjects like math, physics, and literature—nothing like this world's supernatural survival.
Here, no one studied algebra, English, or world history. Instead, they trained in powers that could protect them from the dangers of a revived spiritual world.
Because in this world, spiritual energy was everything, and superpowers were your only ticket to survival.
At this moment, the Superpower Awakening Ceremony had begun.
"Beast Transformation—Bear, D-rank."
"Elemental—Water, E-rank."
"Support Type—Illusion, D-rank."
Student after student awakened their powers, and each new awakening was met with cheers and excitement.
"Next, Renji Takahashi!"
The instructor called his name flatly.
Renji took a deep breath and stepped forward.
"Isn't that the son of Takashi Takahashi, the A-rank Lightning user from Azure Dragon City?"
"His dad's an A-rank lightning wielder. No way he's weak."
"Wow, he's so handsome—and probably crazy strong. I'd totally marry him in a heartbeat."
The crowd was already buzzing with anticipation.
But only Renji knew the truth.
Yes, his body belonged to Takashi Takahashi's son.
But he himself was just a normal guy from Earth who had somehow awakened in this world.
How could he possibly have any powers?
Still, he had no choice but to step forward and place his hand on the crystal awakening orb.
And then—
BOOM!
Two beams of blinding light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire plaza.
"What the heck?! Dual powers?!"
"And judging by the energy, they're at least B-rank or higher!"
"Dual B-rank abilities? This guy's going to break records!"
Everyone stared in shock.
In this world, powers were ranked from highest to lowest: S, A, B, C, D, E, F.
For most people, D-rank was barely passable, C was decent, B was excellent, A was top-tier, and S-rank was legendary.
"Dual powers? Am I actually a genius?" Renji wondered, stunned by his results.
But just as he was celebrating, two glowing lines of text appeared in the sky:
"S-rank Wood Element!"
"S-rank Spirit Eye!"
Double S-rank.
The entire square fell silent.
Since the awakening of spiritual energy, only a handful of humans had ever unlocked an S-rank ability.
And until now, only two people in history had ever awakened double S-rank abilities.
Today, a third had appeared.
The entire Azure Dragon Academy was in chaos.
The teachers stood frozen in disbelief.
Even the strongest teacher at Azure Dragon Academy only had an A-rank power.
Among the students, the highest had only reached B-rank so far.
But today, standing right in front of them, was the strongest student in the academy's history—a student with double S-rank abilities.
But just when everyone thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime miracle, someone squinted at the fine print.
"Wait... look at the actual abilities."
"Spirit Eye… isn't that the most useless ability ever?"
"And Wood Element... that's second from the bottom, right?"
"Double S-rank... in garbage-tier powers?"
"Hahahaha! This is priceless. The most powerful loser in history. What a disgrace to the Takahashi family."
"Honestly, two C-rank Fire and Wind powers would've been better."
"Not even close to a B-rank Holy attribute."
"Wood Element and Spirit Eye, what a clown combo."
In a flash, the shock in the crowd turned into mockery.
One moment they admired him, the next they laughed at him.
"Seriously? I got the most useless powers?"
Renji could already tell from their laughter how these abilities were viewed.
With dozens of known power types in this world, somehow, he had drawn the two most useless ones.
Incredible luck. Terrible results.
"Wood Element? What's it good for—growing flowers? Healing? Even water users can do that better."
"And Spirit Eye? I heard all it does is give you photographic memory. Maybe good for passing exams, haha!"
Even the teacher on stage shook his head in disappointment.
No matter how rare the rank, useless powers were still useless.
Just as Renji felt lost—
"System detected host awakening. Binding to the Ninjutsu System..."
"Bloodline Limit unlocked: Wood Release!"
"Bloodline Limit unlocked: Sharingan!"
"Chakra successfully adapted to the spiritual energy of this world."
A screen appeared in his mind.
[Host]: Renji Takahashi
[Age]: 18
[Abilities]: Wood Element, Spirit Eye
[Talent Level]: S
[Power Level]: Level 1 Beginner
Renji blinked, stunned.
And then it hit him.
"Holy crap… this is insane."
Excitement surged through his body.
No one else in this world had any idea what Wood Release and Sharingan really were.
What's Wood Release?
It's creating forests with a single hand sign.
Or growing a thousand fists to crush your enemies.
And the Sharingan?
Not just some pretty red eyes.
It copies techniques, manipulates minds, and summons godlike warriors.
Wood Release + Sharingan = the ultimate combo.
One day, the world would witness the towering might of the Susanoo Buddha, blocking out the skies.
But for now—
"Student, I know this is difficult to accept... but please, stay strong." The examiner sighed, thinking Renji's heart was broken.
Renji smiled calmly. "Yeah, it's tough... but honestly, I'm not upset at all."
And with that, he confidently stepped down from the stage.
The crowd whispered, assuming he was hiding his disappointment.
"Poor guy. If that were me, I'd be crushed."
"The Takahashi family's luck finally ran out. What a joke—strongest rank, weakest powers."
But Renji didn't care about their pity.
The most useless powers in history?
Heh.
That's only because no one here had ever seen the true might of the Sharingan and Wood Release, powers capable of shaking the heavens.
Get ready to tremble, mortals.
