Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

The second meeting between the Awakeners' Association and the government had finished.

This time, everything was smoother. The first proposal had been approved. Now they only discussed the small details—like security, schedules, and how to build trust between awakened and unawakened students.

After two hours, the meeting ended with a final agreement.

Chairman Alexander stood up and said, "We are ready."

Soon after, a worldwide news broadcast was made.

A week had passed, the day felt calm at Seojun's house.

Dinner plates were clean. The evening breeze drifted through the open window. Nathan lazily reached for the remote while Elshienne sat beside him, tying her hair up into a bun. Ahye was drawing something on the floor, humming quietly.

Then— A breaking news alert popped up on the TV screen.

Nathan sat up straight. "Hey, look! It's happening."

The others turned toward the screen just as the broadcast changed. The screen turned red. Large bold letters appeared:

[BREAKING NEWS: GLOBAL SCHOOL CHANGES ANNOUNCED]

The camera zoomed in on a serious-looking news anchor. Behind him, an image of two schools appeared—one shining with magic symbols and high-tech towers, and one plain and old-fashioned.

The anchor's voice was calm, but firm.

"Today, the Awakeners' Association and many governments around the world have reached an agreement. Starting soon, awakened and unawakened students will study in the same school buildings."

Gasps echoed in the background of the studio.

The screen changed again—maps lighting up red across countries.

"This plan comes after mysterious berserking incidents involving unawakened 18-year-olds. The cause is still under investigation. For now, schools will change to keep students safe."

Ahye's mouth dropped open. "Yay! More friends!"

The anchor continued, "Awakened students will still train separately. Unawakened students will attend normal classes. But everything else—dorms, cafeterias, hallways—will be shared. New security will be added. Awakened protectors will be placed in each school."

Nathan leaned forward. "They're not mixing classes. Just the buildings."

Seojun stepped out from the kitchen, drying his hands. His eyes locked on the screen.

Around the World ,Parents stared at the news in silence. Teachers whispered to each other behind doors. A few students were already dreaming of seeing fire magic up close.

"I bet I'll get to see a real sword skill!" one boy said, eyes sparkling.

"My mom said awakened people are dangerous," a girl whispered.

In United StatesCrowds gathered outside schools, holding signs.

"DON'T PUT OUR KIDS IN DANGER!"

Others clapped and cheered.

"This is the future! Let them grow up together!"

Ahye jumped up, spinning in place.

"Yay! I can finally meet awakened students! I wanna see cool beasts!"

Elshienne sighed. "Don't get too excited. We don't know if this will be safe."

Nathan nodded. "Yeah, I mean… what if someone loses control?"

Seojun sat down beside them. He stared at the screen, not saying a word at first. The anchor was still speaking.

"This change will start next month. Government and Awakeners' Association members will lead the project. This decision was made to protect young lives."

The screen changed once more—now showing interviews.

"We have to trust the system," said one government leader."Awakened or not, they're all kids," said a high-ranking awakener.

Elshienne turned her eyes to Seojun.

"What do you think? Will this really help?"

He looked at her and gave a small nod.

"Only if people try… really try."

Nathan leaned back with a sigh.

"Well… I guess it's gonna be a weird school year."

Ahye raised her hand like she was in class.

"I wanna sit next to an awakened student!"

Elshienne flicked her forehead gently.

"Focus on not playing in class first."

******

The entire month turned into a whirlwind of change and noise across the world.

After the global announcement that awakened and unawakened students would now attend the same schools, the world didn't stay quiet. It became the number one topic on the news, online platforms, and everyday conversation. Every country reported their progress, problems, and public reaction.

TV News Broadcast, Global Channel One

Anchorwoman with a serious tone "This month marks a historic shift in education systems worldwide. Governments and Awakeners' Associations are working together to implement the new system: merging awakened and unawakened students into the same school buildings. The decision, made to ensure better protection and monitoring, especially after the recent mysterious berserking cases, is causing both hope and fear."

In Korea, many parents stood outside schools holding signs, some saying, "Equal is Safe!" while others protested, "Don't put our children at risk!"

In Philippines, debates flooded national talk shows. Some worried that unawakened children would feel left out, while others said it was a chance for both sides to understand each other better.

In France, one school finished renovations ahead of time. They built a new wing for training awakened students, but both awakened and unawakened students would share the cafeteria, library, and gym.

In Japan, a famous celebrity who was once unawakened but later became a strong hunter, gave a touching speech."I wish I had this system growing up. I was always separated. If we were together back then, maybe more of us would have awakened safely."

Online forums also had exploded.

"This is going to be chaos. What if a Monster attack happens and the awakened kids run while the unawakened just stand there?" – Anonymous

"Actually, this is smart. More protection for everyone, plus maybe some unawakened awaken early through exposure." – WindyFox_12

"I'm scared. I'm 18 and still not awakened. What if I'm next to go berserk?" – LittleLeaf88

Across the globe, construction awakeners were seen working day and night. New walls were added, safe rooms built, and special security systems installed.

In Seoul, the prestigious White Moon Academy added a mana-sensor alarm in every hallway.

In New York, Skyline Academy introduced new training programs for teachers to handle mixed schools.

In Egypt, a desert-side school added underground bunkers for sudden beast attacks.

And Chairman Alexander and top officials gave speeches, promising safety, support and gave a global livestream:"This change is not to divide, but to unite. The world is no longer what it used to be. We must protect the next generation together—awakened or not."

Many families became more alert. Parents watched their unawakened children more closely, worried they might receive the strange liquid that turned others into berserkers. Sales of anti-poison kits and personal mana shields went up by 70%.

Some children, like Elshienne and Nathan, who had not awakened, felt both nervous and excited. They would be attending school with awakened students—but now under the same roof.

The merging wasn't perfect. There were protests, arguments, and accidents. But slowly, the world started adjusting. News calmed down. People waited for the first semester to begin.
