Chapter 5 - Chapter four

His grade is out of books.

What is the case here? Why is there a mist coming our way? Wait, this mist is very cold for my tender body to bear.

Guys, give way please, I can't die at such a young age please. Who will take all my fifteen girlfriends then?

Old Bao, let's extend back a little for this chill will kill me if am to stay here.

Young master, just stay put. I am here with you. I will just release a crystal like aura of mine to disperse her magic if it's needed. Mind you, all those responsible for the magic awakening test are of the intermediate or advanced level in magic. Such a chill won't make even the tiniest problem to them.

Oh, Old Bao, I was forgetting their presence in first place. I will just remain calm and wait for the awakening test.

So is that how a superior grade magic talent looks like. She is the first person with the superior grade magic talent today among a small number of those that have so far awakened. Young master, what do you think of her?

One of the boys standing next to old Bao said as he smiled as though he had found a great treasure that his master would not let go for once.

Say, Alvin, is that what you have to bring before me now? We are now on a test, one that I don't even know what grade I will hold if am to reach that altar. Say, do you think I will fall for her as well in such accord, I am still a man with fifteen girlfriends for now, but I do still need more of them. The pride of falling in line with the governor you know.

Young master, like if you are to add her to your girlfriends and make her number sixteen, with her magic talent, your status will also rise.

Who knows, the governor might speak for you before the emperor to take his place in the future. said old Bao.

Okay, how about this, let's first complete the awakening test before I make a move. If l do rank in the high grade magic talent, I will surely go to him.

That sounds like it, chided his minions. She will even fall for you the moment she comes to know your status in this huge city.

Clara came down with a brilliant smile written all over her face. That was the god damned superior grade talent in magic and the best thing is that she has made it first among the many present. indeed, the saying ladies first was never a lie.

Congratulations for your tremendous achievement dear, the elders, Raman and Darin said the moment she reached them. You future to come is now beautiful Clara. The superior grade talent in magic leaves you with higher chances in attaining the Super level. You need to work harder than what you may think to achieve the best.

Sure, I will do my best to reach even beyond the super level.

Dream on, do you think the forbidden level is a mere say that every mouth can utter it with comfort?

But it is not a tale in life, for many experts have achieved it today. And I will be part of those to reach it next.

Forget it, many things won't even unveil themselves before reality's face. You will remain this even if I were to talk till dask. Darin, it's your time son. Go show these old men what you got.

Sure, he heaved his chest then walked to the registration desk.

Your name, age and residence?

Am Darin Clova, aged 14 and I come from Almain village.

With his declaration, the attendant raised her head the moment she heard of his residence. So he also comes from Almain village! It means he should be knowing of the previous girl and the great ancestor of theirs.

Who among the mages of great mastery didn't know the Almain village great ancestor? He was a man of honour and his achievements were never less to the great genius Ai Albert whose speed in magic was the clear opposite of the magic theory and laws.

He did start magic at fourteen yet by the age of eighteen, it is rumored that he had reached the climax of the advanced level. Crossing three different levels that are filled with various difficulties in a four years period, he never deserved to be called human anymore.

But the issue was never him, for he was considered a genius among his peers yet how did he manage to help his friends cultivate at a terrible speed to reach mastery of their elements with their low magic talents.

Among those, was his right hand man Al Clain who came from a grass root family and gained the young master Ai Albert's favour allowing him to cultivate at a terrifying speed.

Although he gained the young master's favour, he never for once lived a life of self comfort but he sought a place that held a great geographical location and fertile lands for the fifty something people from his village and was eager to help them master magic but karma knocked on his friend's door then forcing him to go and stand by his side and that was his last day in the Almain village the one he started with great love. From this, no record reveals what did befall the great mages in life.

So these young fellows must know a little bit of the reason why he needed to meet his friends and where the group went. I will need to be on their good side if I need to be on my teacher's good side. Who knows, he might accept to teach me his great alchemy knowledge and skills and with such skills, I will stand tall in this world of ours.

Snapping back from her world of thoughts, she turned to the young lad before her, so you come from Almain village as well!

Affirmative, is there a problem with it?

No no not really, I was only asking. Do pay the gold coin and proceed please.

After paying the gold coin, Darin walked to the altar but he was interrupted by a stranger, his physic never for once lost to him in fact he was more built than Darin. Dressed in a black expensive gown, his black long hair fell off neatly. Kid, go use the other awakening stone. the seventh awakening stone will be used by young master in the coming round, so it can only be used by me to test it first.

Darin looked at him then back at Raman as though he was seeking permission to go loose.

Looking at the two, Clara tapped on her mother who was off minded as they were chatting about the problem at hand.

You guys better stay alert for now as the hungry beasts are about to go loose, pointing to Darin on the altar as he looked back at Raman.

Who among the parents of the three didn't know what would follow next the moment those two stood by each other's side, they could battle a no match fight that was clear of not being in their favour. This was the sole reason why the two stood atop in Almain village but things had changed, the rules in the Magic Association Hall were far different.

It looks like the moderator of this event is not willing to intervene in such a fray. The person behind that fellow must be of a high prominence we better solve this in time.

Stay calm son, just walk away, it's the knock from karma on your great day.

Hearing this, Darin walked away and headed to the other free awakening stone. How dumb, these fellow think awakening from that stone will grant them a superior grade talent in magic?

Reaching the awakening stone, Darin breathed in and out... to calm himself before he placed his hands on the awakening stone.

Just at that moment, the blue black awakening stone started to hold a visible change.

Mr. Clova looked at him with his eyes fully wide open, he did not want to miss even the least bit of what his efforts brought to such a world. Go son, don't stop. This old man is proud of you.

The awakening stone turned to a golden brown color. Although it was not releasing any pressure to the surroundings, only those that have mastered a few walks in magic could feel the intensity of his awakening.

That is the earth element but what does the golden bits in it mean for sure, I can't tell his grade awakening as the stone is not releasing any magic fluctuations.

Feeling troubled, he turned to look at his senior hopping to see whether she had an answer for this but she was also loose to it. His magic has never been mentioned anywhere in the books. Like, just give him a medium grade.

You hold the intermediate grade magic talent but yours is a rare one.

The previous youth laughed. Look, you still had to stand to the intermediate grade when am in the high grade class, how will you repay the trouble then, anyway, all of you are the same. He turned and walked away.

Their grading failed when it came to you, said Mr. Clain. Did you guys feel the pressure from before, although I can't tell why it was there, I still feel that his earth element is far deadly than any earth magics. So the moderator was also troubled about the stand of his grade so she only gave him the intermediate grade for the time being.

Next,

Raman walked to the registration desk.

Your name, age, and residence.

Am Raman Clain, 14 years old and from Almain village.

He is also from Almain village. Wait, did you say you are Clain?

Yes, am Raman Clain. Is there any trouble?

No, not at all. Just continue to the altar.

How about the gold coin?

Didn't you say you are Clain and from Almain village?

Yes, But has it got with the gold coin that I need to pay for my awakening test?

Don't worry, just walk your way to the altar and awaken.

Although he was troubled by her words, he still walked to the altar and reached the awakening stone.

But just then, the young master stood his way and said, that awakening stone is to be used by me, do find your route anywhere.
