SSS-Class Profession: The Path to Mastery-Chapter 335: Symphony of Skills

The moment Full Profession Sync activated, it felt like lightning had replaced my blood.

Every skill, every job, every fragment of knowledge and ability I possessed suddenly blazed to life in perfect harmony. My Detective job’s analytical capabilities merged seamlessly with my Lawyer’s understanding of precedent and argumentation. My Strategist’s planning abilities flowed into my Construction Worker’s systematic thinking. It wasn’t just that they were all active, but rather they were collaborating, each enhancing the others in ways that defied the normal limitations of human cognition.

But underneath that incredible rush of capability, I could feel the timer counting down. Ten minutes. That was all I had before this incredible synthesis would end, leaving me completely cut off from the System for twelve critical hours. This single moment had to be definitive. This had to end the debate permanently.

I could see Valeska still speaking, her words continuing to weave their subtle spell over the assembled delegates. But through my enhanced Instinct and Psychological Insight, I could perceive the exact mechanisms of her influence—the specific tonal patterns, the micro-expressions that triggered subconscious responses, the way she was exploiting cognitive biases that most people didn’t even know they had.

More importantly, I could see exactly how to counter it.

I stood, and every eye in the room turned toward me. Through my amplified Observation skill, I could read the micro-expressions on every face. It was confusion, concern, curiosity, and in Valeska’s case, a flicker of something that might have been apprehension.

"President Valeska," I said, my voice carrying with it the combined authority of every job I possessed, "you speak of tradition and stability as if they were inherently virtuous. But tradition built on injustice is not worth preserving, and stability maintained through oppression is not worth defending."

My Persuasive Speaking skill, now harmonized with Persuasive Argumentation and enhanced by my Legal Authority, gave my words a resonance that seemed to fill the room completely. I could see delegates straightening in their seats, their attention focusing with laser-like intensity.

"You ask us to continue following a system that has allowed systematic human experimentation," I continued, my Legal Analysis providing me with precise examples even as my Case Precedent skill drew parallels to historical moments of necessary change. "A system that has institutionalized discrimination based on arbitrary rankings. A system that has created a global hierarchy where a person’s worth is determined not by their character or their contributions, but by what abilities they happened to receive."

Through my enhanced Psychological Insight, I could see the exact moment when several delegates began to waver in their support for Valeska’s position. The cognitive dissonance was becoming too strong to ignore.

"But more than that," I pressed on, my Strategist job guiding the flow of my argument while my Detective skills identified the most compelling evidence, "you’re asking us to live in despair out of fear of temporary hardship. Yes, changing our global governance structure will be difficult. Yes, it will create uncertainty and discomfort. But if we never fix the problems we’ve caused because we don’t want to temporarily live worse, then what type of leaders are we?"

The question hung in the air like a challenge. I could see it working its way through the minds of every person present, forcing them to confront the fundamental choice between comfortable complacency and difficult progress.

"Are we the kind of leaders who preserve injustice because it’s easier than fighting for justice?" My voice grew stronger, each word precisely calibrated for maximum impact. "Are we the kind of leaders who allow suffering to continue because we’re afraid of the work required to end it? Are we the kind of leaders who hide behind tradition when that tradition has failed the people we’re supposed to serve?"

Through my amplified skills, I could perceive the exact psychological state of every delegate in the room. Doubt was spreading, certainty was cracking, and the comfortable assumptions that had governed their thinking for decades were beginning to crumble.

"The current World President has had years to address these problems," I continued, my Legal Analysis providing me with devastating examples of governmental failure. "Years to end human experimentation. Years to eliminate rank-based discrimination. Years to create a more just and equitable world. Instead, these problems have grown worse under his leadership."

I could see Valeska preparing to respond, her job title ability gathering for another wave of psychological manipulation. But my enhanced Instinct warned me of her intention, and I pressed forward before she could interrupt.

"We have a choice," I said, my voice carrying the combined conviction of every job I possessed. "We can continue to follow a leader who has proven himself incapable of meaningful change, or we can choose someone who has demonstrated the ability to think beyond the limitations that have constrained us for millennia."

The room was completely silent now. Even Valeska had stopped trying to interject, perhaps recognizing that the psychological momentum had shifted beyond her ability to control.

"I don’t promise that the transition will be easy," I continued, my honesty enhanced by my Lawyer’s understanding of ethical advocacy. "I don’t promise that there won’t be challenges, setbacks, and moments of uncertainty. But I promise that under my leadership, human experimentation will end. Rank-based discrimination will be eliminated. The voices of the powerless will be heard alongside the voices of the powerful."

Through my Detective’s analytical abilities, I could see that I was reaching the critical moment. The point where continued argument would become counterproductive. Time to close.

"The question before you is simple," I said, my Strategist skill guiding me toward the most effective conclusion. "Do you want to continue following a system that has failed to protect the most vulnerable members of our society, or do you want to be part of creating something better?"

I paused, letting the weight of the decision settle over the room.

"I ask for your vote not because the System has granted me any particular title, but because you have seen what I can accomplish when freed from the constraints that have limited us for so long. Vote for me not because of what rank I hold, but because of what I can become—what we can all become—when we choose progress over comfort, justice over tradition, and hope over fear."

The silence that followed felt infinite and then, slowly, I felt Full Profession Sync beginning to fade. The incredible clarity was ebbing, the perfect harmony of skills starting to dissolve back into their individual components. I wasn’t breathing heavily since a bunch of my skills had prevented any physical strain, but I could feel a deep exhaustion beginning to creep through my consciousness as they were slowly leaving my body.

For a moment, as I looked out at the stunned faces before me, I wondered if I had overplayed my hand. Had I pushed too hard, asked for too much, taken too great a risk? The silence stretched on, and doubt began to creep into my mind.

Then Samuel Osei stood up. His hands came together in slow, deliberate applause that echoed through the chamber like gunshots.

Within seconds, Liang Mei was on her feet beside him, her applause joining his. Dubois followed immediately after, his diplomatic composure replaced by something that looked like genuine admiration.

The applause spread like wildfire. Delegate after delegate rose to their feet, their clapping building into a thunderous crescendo that filled the room completely. Even some of the representatives I had expected to oppose me were standing and applauding, caught up in the moment of transformation.

Most surprisingly of all, MacLeod rose from his seat, the man who had betrayed me just hours earlier now joining in the ovation with what appeared to be genuine respect.

Eventually, only two figures remained seated: Volkov and Valeska. They sat frozen in their chairs like islands of resistance in an ocean of approval. But even they couldn’t maintain their positions indefinitely. The social pressure became too great, and both were forced to stand and offer token applause to avoid appearing openly defiant.

I sat down carefully, using every ounce of remaining control to appear composed and confident rather than exhausted. If Valeska realized how much that performance had cost me, if she understood that I was now completely vulnerable for the next twelve hours, it would all be over. But thankfully, the euphoria of the moment seemed to have caught even her off guard.

The applause continued for what felt like forever, waves of approval washing over me as I struggled to maintain my facade of strength. Through my rapidly diminishing enhanced abilities, I could see that I had achieved something unprecedented—I had fundamentally shifted the psychological landscape of global politics in the span of ten minutes.

Finally, Dr. Zimmermann stood and raised his hands for quiet. The applause gradually died away, leaving the room in a charged silence that felt completely different from the tension that had dominated earlier.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he said, his voice carrying a note of something that might have been awe, "after that extraordinary presentation, I believe it’s time for our final vote."

As the words settled over the room, I felt the last vestiges of Full Profession Sync fade away completely. My connection to the System went dark, leaving me feeling strangely hollow and ordinary after the incredible synthesis I had just experienced.

But it didn’t matter. The vote was coming, and I had done everything within my power to influence its outcome. Whatever happened next would determine not just my personal future, but the future of global governance itself.

The moment of truth had arrived.
