Low-Level Fox, SSS Power, World in Flames - Episode 1

At Celestia Academy's Awakening Ritual, students witness new powers after a century of Temporal Rifts and Voidborn attacks. Mandy Latham's Feralkin surfaces as a D-rank Stonehorn and is ridiculed. Reed Lane wakes, relieved to be reborn and determined to seize a second chance. Cullen Gibson is announced S-rank, drawing envy. Jane Wight's Feralkin appears as an A-rank Black Widow; classmates note she's Reed's girlfriend. Cullen publicly asks Jane to form a contract; she brushes it off, saying she's "not that close" to Reed. Reed, remembering his past life, resolves he'll awaken as an SSS-Rank — and await their stunned faces.
