The trio on they way back to orphanage from Willy's house after they informed his mother about the news. It was very heart breaking scene as his mother wailing non stop beside his son that was coma on the bed when they arrived at the house.She was single mother that live with only his son after her husband died in the last war and now her son on the horrible state because of someone brutality. It was Midu that console her by saying that her son would be sad if he saw her on this condition and she slowly stop crying after they told her about the news and keep her company for awhile until she calm down. She keep saying gratitude words to them and even offered them a reward but they refused instantly.
None of them had a mood to start conversation on the way back so it was very silent journey not like their usual. The sun already on its way to set and they reached home when its already a night time. The trio decided to take a rest in their dorm and will come out when its a dinner time.
The orphanage consists of 2 small building that opposite to each other and those buildings are separate based on the gender of the resident also each of it have 5 dorm. It also had big building that on the center as learning center that teach basic stuff only such as reading and calculating for the oprhan kids and it have a dining hall. Vix and Rook share the same dorm which is dorm no 5. Each dorm consist of 20 peoples and it have 2 side which is left and right . Each side can fit 10 double decker beds and both of them on the same one at the left side of the dorm where Vix on the lower bunk while Rook on the top. Both of them laying on their own bed right now to get rest.
Later that night somewhere not far away from Wira town,group of 10 people wearing full red knight armor with dragon crest on their right chest marching as they were lead by one man that was riding horse. He has a look of man in their late 30s with his beard and his fierce eyes shows that this man experience many wars throughout his life. He has spike red hair, black eyes and tanned skin. His big bulky body can still be seen eventhough he's wearing an armor. He raised his hand as sign to order the group, they stop marching and he get off from the horse. He walks a few step forward to get clearer view of his destination. The destination that he look at of course Wira town. A wicked smile can be seen from his face.
It's been a week since the incident occur, nothing out of ordinary happen in this small town except that this town is preparing an event. An event that been held every year are Awaken Ceremony which been held by all towns and cities around the countries. It will be held inside this town's big hall at the center of the town itself and vendors use this opportunity to open stall around the hall,it was very festive day. Moreover, scouting agencies from around the countries that connect with goverment, different organisation and mercenary group will also be in this event to find any potential children through this ceremony.
For this past week, Vix and his friends lived a normal life in the orphanage and they were happy. The trio decided that they just want to stroll around stalls, eating and playing only for this year Awaken Ceremony because just like a few years back there is nothing unordinary happen with the childrens that had awaken their Gift.
The small town people like them usually produce mediocre Gift that does not attract many of scouting agencies. It's not the case with childrens from rich family who live at the cities because since they were younger their parents will provide them with a lot of expensive herbs that can nurture their soul so that they can produce a powerful Gift later. Therefore, it is crucial for parents to nurture their children's soul at the early age and that's why scouting agencies prefer big cities rather than small towns.
--------------------------------------------------------------
From this point is just a bit of explanation about Gift type
Gift is divided by 3 types.First one, the weakest which is Tools type. Tools type is common things that can be used for daily life. For example, a person with a farmer background family tends to form Gift that can help him to do works. He might had hoe or watering can type Gift .
Second is Specialist type. Specialists type is uncommon among a people. For example, a lens that can detect a specific spot in the body that has been infected by virus or parasite. Usually people that awaken these type are involve in specialise things such as medical field , engineering and architecture.
Lastly, the strongest type is Combat type. A person that awaken this type plays important role to ensure survival of normal citizens from the Demon Beast or any other threats as they can form weapon on their own. They are usually highly regard and treated like elite and usually they will be recruit by government to become high ranking police officer in the city or serving in the elite army.
Gift type cannot be change after the person awaken it for the first time but it can get stronger together with a user.A person with a different type of Gift can still apply to job that they want such as low rank policeman or soldiers as they will provided proper training and weapons by the government but other than that it requires hard work and luck to get the job. Every person will have a chance to awaken his gift when they turned 15 as it is part of the law and people become stronger when they have awakened. For Tools and Specialist type, a person attribute will boost 2 times while Combat type is 3 times.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Little that they know, this year event will be a little bit different than before because it will be attended by vice-commmander from one of 3 elites brigades. It was Sir Gilldon Wreth AKA Mad Bull Gilldon from Red Dragon Brigade.His name is known through out the country because of his feat in the last war. His arrival was unexpected by the people in this town. Mayor of Wira town immediately went to main gate of the town after been informed by town's guards about his arrival a few days ago. He does not said the reason why is he here and the mayor does not dare to ask him so the mayor just doing his best to entertain his guest.
Gilldon sat on the chair with mayor beside him at the second floor of the hall. This is the best spot that mayor from this small town can offered to him. The pressure that comes from Gilldon causing mayor and other nearby people who are not from the army sweating nervously.The pressure was released on purpose by Gilldon as he loves to watch other people misery. He actually doesn't care about this ceremony and he hates every second of his time coming to this small town but he control his emotion as he doesn't want to attract any unwanted attention. He would like to ransack this town already and burn it to the ground like he always does but he has orders that he need to obey so he held back.
Not long after, next children to be awaken was a young boy with handcuffs, he step up on the altar with emotionless expression on his face and this peaks a curiosity inside Gilldon's mind so he started to ask.
Gilldon: "Yo old man, what's up with that kid? Why is his hand in handcuffs?"
Mayor was shocked by sudden question from Gilldon and he open the booklist that was gave to him earlier. The booklist was name of childrens that will go through this ceremony today after that he answered him nervously while reading.
Mayor: "His name is Henry Wodfa, he's been in jail for week now because he was found guilty of robbery and harming..."
Suddenly, noise sound can be heard from the crowd as people start to screaming and shouting. Mayor once again shocked by it and immediately stand up to look at the commotion. It was big mess as two policemen that was in charge of escorting Henry was on floor bleeding to death. It happened so quickly that no one saw except Gilldon. He's smiling wickedly and said "Interesting hahahaha".
People started to ran away from the hall, the situation was chaos instantly.
Mayor quickly ordered the other 5 policemen that was guarding inside this hall to arrest Henry and giving them permission to use their Gift. All of them summons their Gift and tried to apprehend Henry, the first policemen that went forward was holding large red boomerang with a thorns stick out from its outer layer.
They cautiously watching Henry as they still don't know how his Gift works but one thing they sure about his Gift type. It was combat type and this boy just awakened so to 'test the water',the first policemen threw his boomerang and it flew and circling around Henry with an incredible speed. The speed was so fast as you can hear the wind sound *fufufufu* then it attack from behind.
*booommm*
Henry just stood there smilling without moving and the boomerang was knocked back as if it was hitting a wall. It flew back spinning to its owner hand. All the policemen was shocked by it and they started to surround Henry as not to delay any longer to arrest him.
Henry :"My turn"
As soon he said that he lifted both of his hands and people saw him wearing some kind black gloves, a white metal with form like a sharp nails at every tip of his fingers. He cross both of his arms in front his chest while his fingers in a claw form. He's moving his index and pinky fingers from right hand while the other one his index finger only.
Out of nowhere an invisible threads start to wrap around necks of all the policemen that surround him.
"uguugguuhh" The policemen was taken by surprise and sound of chocking can be heard from them.
All of them struggling to took off the threads from their neck using both hands, some of them was already on their knees. The second of the policemen trying to stop him by throwing a green dagger to attack him but Henry immediately move his thumb finger from his right hand and then another thread slashed vertically through the man's body before he can act. Blood splashed out from the body and he collapsed on the floor.
Watching one of his colleagues been attacked, the third policemen pour all his energy into his Gift and succeed cutting the threads that had been choking his neck by using his Gift. It was tools type, long scissor while the fourth one succeed by tearing the threads using his Gift which was hook.
The third started to attack using his scissor while the fourth one went to save the first and fifth policemen. Henry blocked all the attacks with his threads It was a stalemate between him and the third policemen but Henry's expression change the moment first and fifth policemen free from his thread. He no longer have the advantage of surprise attack and he's just awakened so he's not used to the Gift yet. Not to mention all these policemen had more experience compare to him and outnumber him too. He plan to escape as he thought to himself so he ran to one of the doors in the hall and produce more threads as he can while running.
All the policemen knew what he thought so they quickly ran after him and one of the policemen shouting. "Don't let him escape!!" Henry already blocked all the doors using his threads as he passed through one of the door. If they cutting it, will take some time as the threads was so thick meanwhile Henry might already ran far away so they tried to find another alternative way.
While they were busy, Gilldon who was still sitting on chair from the second floor with cross arm smiling non stop watching them. It was a perfect entertainment for him whereas mayor beside him starting to panic. The mayor can no longer hide his embarassment as this kind of things happened when famous person such as Gilldon visit this town.
Gilldon:"I guess this trip was not a waste of time after all. Hey oldman"
Mayor: *still in panic state*"Wha... Yes Sir Gilldon? "
Gilldon: "Order your man to back off and leave the boy alone. "
Mayor: "Lea.. ve him..yo..u..can't be serious Sir?"
Gilldon:"You got a problem with that old man?" *staring the mayor with his fierce eyes and also released his heavy pressure on him*
Mayor:"aaaiik... NOO SIRR"
He immediately stand up from his chair and order all the policemen to stop pursuit Henry.
Gilldon: "Jazz.. I want that boy alive" then he just tilt his head toward the door Henry escaped to.
Jazz, one of red knight armor that standing behind Gilldon, step forward and salute him while saying "Yes sir". He walks pass through Gilldon and immediately jumped down from the second floor. He summon his Gift which was a broad sword that eminates yellowish light as soon as his landing. This yellowish light shows that Jazz's Gift was already a second stage class,an 'Aura State'. Then he went to the door where Henry escaped. He lifted his hand and with one slash from him, all the threads were cut off. He start running and went outside the hall to chase after Henry.
