(A/N:- The timeline of Roy will continue again from chapter 60, until then I will write about Howard and his journey.)
"We will reach Triston anytime soon, after we arrive ,you guys are allowed to whatever you want, I will wait at the gate of the city with carriages until the test finishes, if you want go back , you can come to me . I will not be responsible if something were to happen to you, keep that in mind, lastly don't do anything that would bring disgrace to our town or Chief and All the Best"(Guard)
Howard looked at the guard and nodded his head, they soon entered outskirts of the city and saw a huge line at the entrance, there were many people some are merchants, some are low ranking nobles but most of them are participants who came for test, looking at them Howard's fighting spirit flared up, they successfully entered the city, many people looked at them with mockery because of their clothes and food but Howard didn't mind them, his find is filled with awakening and entrance test. Howard left the carriage and ventured into the city, he was in awe looking at the magnificent structure, the entire city was atleast 500 times bigger than his town, there are jewellery shops, wardrobes, boutiques, armour and weapon shops and many more, he was confused for a second because he didn't exactly know where the awakening centre is, then he heard a conversation,
"Let's go, my father knows where the awakening centre is located follow me."(Random mob)
"Do we have to pay"(mob)
"Are from bonnies where there is no Civilization? of course you don't have to pay for it, it is the rule of empire."(mob)
"When is the entrance test?"(mob girl)
"It is tomorrow, I can help you if you want."(mob trying to show off in front of girl)
"kukuku~~ please help this maiden sir"(mob)
Howard heard various kinds of conversations, he later spotted a bunch of children moving in a direction, he followed them. After about 30 minutes they came to a place which is filled with people, there are atleast 10000 of them, all of them are looking towards a building or rather temple, the entire structure is covered in gold, it is covered by a large fence, there is a opening which leads into the structure premises, all of them slowly passed through the gate and came in, they all stood on a road which is made up of white stone, on the either side of the road, there are soldiers standing, and on the back there are flower fields and variety of plants and trees,the building is on a stage, in front of the building ,there is a huge statue, the name of founder of Hanneman empire, George Hanneman is written on it, there are also various fountains and decorations around it, there are also steps which can used to climb onto the stage. The building has windows and various ethnic and cultural artistic carvings on it, the door to the building is very big and beautiful, while Howard was admiring the whole place, someone came and stood in front of them, on the stage, he is a middle aged guy wearing white robes, with emblem of Hanneman empire on it, emblem is a man standing holding a sword in one hand and flower in other hand.
"Welcome to the Awakening centre of Triston, I am the supervisor who looks after applicants, firstly let me tell you about what exactly awakening means, you should know by now that name of our world is HCW(H)-345, we come under the rule of central world and the great Sovereign of life. 50000 years ago, in the legends it's written that, gods who lived for millions of years descended on to the central(mortal) world and formed their factions, those factions are known as 'Familia' ,gods would chose certain people with unique characteristics and give them blessing which is also known as 'Falna' , it is also called status because it shows the status of a person, his power, endurance, dexterity, agility and magic, they are shown in two columns, one is numerical number which is the representation of your strength, it can be increased once you grow stronger, the second column is in brackets which show a alphabet along with a numerical, that alphabet is your potential it ranges from I,H,G,F,E,D,C,B,A,S,SS,SSS and it also comes with a bonus strength, it can be increased too but it's going to be difficult, you will know about it in the future. Next along with these, it also shows your skills which are acquired by you or which you possess from your birth they are also ranked from I to SSS, your skills can't be upgraded easily but there is another type of skills called development abilities which can be upgraded once you finish the criteria which are required to upgrade it. It also show your magic spells, which you learn and use. Lastly the status also shows your name,age,race and your most importantly your RANK which is the represention your overall strength, the entire universe follows a single hierarchy of power that is
1.mortal
2.low class
3.intermidiate class
4.high class
5.advanced class
6.epic class
7.heroic class
8.ultimate class
9.legendary class
10.semi mythic
11.mythic
12.half sage
13.sage
14.god of creation
15.?????god
Our world has a person who is mythic class the ruler of dragons and 3 semi mythic class individuals who are the high ranking people in the 3 empires, so our world can be consider as a high level one. As I was saying earlier, in the legends only the 'Children' who received falna from their respective gods can see their statuses which is taken upon on a paper and the status is engraved on individual's back. This system is disadvantageous as only a certain portion of people can do it, so to help the masses review their status and cultivate the talents, the great Sovereign with his wife Supreme magus has created this awakening ceremony to provide status to every individual, you just have go inside and touch the gaint crystal which is situated in it, then a transparent screen will appear in front of you, it will show your status, you call out 'Open status' if you want to see it or 'close status' if you want to close it. Others can't see your status unless you want to show them, my advice is that , it is not a good idea to show your status to anyone even if they are very close to you, using the status you can find your strengths and weaknesses and also a perfect path for yourself, as your RANK increases, your life will also increase and aging will become slower and slower , it will depend on person to person because a mage may live longer than a swordsmen, but on average a person at High Class can live at least 500 years. So, do you your best, the entrance test for Hogwarts will be conducted tomorrow at the abandoned castle which is located at 3 miles from north of Triston, currently we are at northwest of the Triston, will is relatively near to us but you should leave as fast as possible. *Clap*Clap* That's it all the announcements are over, now you can climb the stairs and go in, only the people who are more than 16 can awaken the people who already got their statuses, the ones who are guardians of the children and the underage children are not allowed, the awakening stone will not react to you and if you get caught then you will be punished no matter what your status is, even royal family is no exception. Everyone should form lines and go in , there should be no rushing, you should form lines divided by gender, if you cause any mishap or disturbance, you will be caught by the guards, supervisors and get punished. Once you go in just touch the crystal stone once check whether you got status or not and come out, after that you can carefully review your status, Now start."
