Chereads / Jolly Joker Mage / Chapter 5 - Awakening

Chapter 5 - Awakening

Julian was so pumped up that he wished that Kristine would use another of her magic to teleport them to the Registration Office. Unfortunately for him, the elf started walking towards their destination and told him some things along the way.

They finally arrived and entered the building. It was ballroom-like hall, and really spacious considering that there is only two tables and two chairs present in the whole room. There were three doors behind those furniture: a green one on the left, a blue one on the right and a red one on the center. He noticed there was a man on a dark corner on the right side part of the room. He was accompanied by two voluptuous girls, the one on the left was a human and the other an elf. He was kissing the one on the right while the other girl on the left was waiting for her turn. They were too busy doing their stuff that they didn't notice the there were two people watching them from behind.

Kristine finally coughed once startling the man. The man turned his head around and saw the visitors. He tidied up the the front end of his pants and walked towards the table as if nothing happened. The girls tried to help another girl, a beast woman, who was kneeling down and gasping for air. They finally walked towards the doors and stood there. The man tried to settle the things on the table before giving a smile and greeting the lady in front of him.

_Oh this guy is amazing_ Julian thought.

"Excuse me, my lady and your companion, to see such a thing. How can I help you?" The man tried to be formal but his attitude clearly shows that he was a bit annoyed. The three girls giggled when they saw that.

"John of House Rivette,where is your brother Jack?" Kristine asked maintaining her poker face.

"He was requested to attend a meeting at the town hall. He left an hour ago. Would you like to leave a message Lady Kristine?"

"No thanks. I better wait for him here. This friend of mine, however, needs the awakening platform. After that, we need a new magic ring for him."

"Isn't it a bit too late for him to use the platform? He is what, thirteen years old?"

"His situation is a bit special. Master Winston sent him here from the borders. He was verified to be a suitable mage by the Lord Guardians. What else do you want me to say?"

"Oh a sapling again. Master Hope brought another one last week. Master Fortune brought twins three days ago. Now Master Winston got another one today. This year's mage congregation will be exciting. No need to apply for a new magic ring, I'm sure the one that Phantasma will give him will be better. Okay, Margarette please lead our young friend to the platform."

"Sir, please come this way." Margarette was the elf standing in front the red door. She gestured for Julian to enter. Kristine nodded signalling him to go. Julian obediently headed towards the door and even though he has so many questions about this, he decided to trust Kristine and didn't voice out anything.

He saw nothing inside the door as if a black curtain blocked the entrance. He gathered his courage and entered the door and what welcomed him inside was really out of this world. It was an oasis, a sacred sanctuary for the gods and he felt so full of energy just breathing the air. He went forward and saw a serious body builder type green ghost.

"So ghosts really do exist. Anything goes here in this world huh. Are there you know dragons and stuff??" Julian was so fascinated by the creatures here.

"I am a genie not a ghost. And yes there are dragons but you will die if you ever see one right now. I feel strange power on your body young one, something that really feels nostalgic. Well enough of that, we need to start your awakening ceremony."

"Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, Light, Void and Lightning." One after another, crystal pearls started appearing in front of him signifying the elements the genie said. " This a level 1 magic crystal pearl and you need to break it to unlock lvl 2. You just need to fill in the corresponding magic element into the pearl to break it and it will automatically summon the next level. For example, this void pearl, you just need to imagine falling inside a dip pit and this pearl will react to it while this light ball, you just need to imagine a dark tunnel and you are holding a candlelight. You need to imagine the mana taking shape of what you want it to be."

"Now you are given two minutes to break for every single crystal pearl for every single level. You need to do these until one element remains on a level and that will be your dominant element. Then you continue breaking it until you can't anymore. The levels represents the proficiency and compatability of mana to your body."
