Chapter-5
—-------------
She loves to play with children at this church. At first people at church didn't feel comfortable about this but because of the trust they had in Ron, they allowed her, and as time passed she was completely accepted by them.
"No, she has something important to do" Hearing this Mary could help but feel a little depressed.
"Anyway, where is everyone else?" Ron asked this as he noticed this.
"Are you blind, you didn't see the rush today?? ..Tsk...Maybe people without mana have an eyesight problem" She criticized him the moment she got.
Veins popped out of his head hearing this as he thought 'what has eyesight to do with the mana.…brainless girl!!' But he couldn't say it out loud because he doesn't want to make this girl irritated.
"Then can you please tell this BLIND PERSON with your AMAZING EYESIGHT, where they are now??" Ron gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"Hmph, at least you know how to ask nicely; since you asked me politely then I will tell you Father is attending the people, sister gone to market for something and sister iris is making lunch in the kitchen" Mary answered this while crossing her arms and showing him her non- existed chest with a proud look.
Ron rolled his eyes at this, and said "it's that's so, then I will go to meet Iris, bye" with that he quickly moves towards the kitchen, leaving her alone.
Arriving at the kitchen he sees a girl about the same age as him.
The girl has jet-black long hair with golden eyes, Snow-white skin, Well-proportional face, sharp nose, pink lips, Slim wrist. Looking at the girl, she is longer than Ron around 168 CM.
Overall she is definitely a stunning girl by any standards.
She is using a telekinesis spell for doing several tasks in order to make lunch.
Among the all basic spells, the most difficult spell is Telekinesis. So it's nearly impossible for this spell to be cast by people who haven't even awakened their mana tool.
"Yo Iris, how is it going?" Ron greeted her as he waved his hand and entered the kitchen.
Iris looked at him and just smiled as she nodded her head.
Iris is a girl of few words, she is usually expressionless and rarely speaks with a somewhat Majestic aura.
Iris, Mary, Mark and Mash are abandoned since they are babies in front of the church. This Town don't have an orphanage, so the only priest could adopt them.
*sniff* *sniff*
"Woah! Are you making potato soup!?? Make one for me too please" Ron requested this as he inhaled the amazing aroma from the pot.
Iris just nods her head.
"Really thanks!!"
"Hey iris, are you excited for the awakening ceremony?"
"...."
"Me too!! Super excited!!!"
"...."
"I will finally be able to use mana like you!! You know??"
"...."
"Then I will train hard and leave you at dust"
"...."
"What!? you don't believe it, then I will prove it to you after I awakened my mana tool!!"
Even though Iris didn't say anything or show any facial expression, but Ron was able to understand everything by just seeing her eyes.
They both know each other by the age of 6 when he comes to this town First time with his grandma.
Ron clearly remembers when they first met, she was not like this at all actually she was a crybaby who cried at every single thing but in minutes the food got ready, so they returned to the living room.
They see Mary is playing with two marks and mash.
Iris starts decorating the dining table with telekinesis and Ron joins Mary and the others.
*knock* *knock*
"I will go and see" Ron got and moved towards the backdoor and opened it.
There was a middle aged woman around 48 years old standing with Shopping bag in her hand, wearing nun clothes.
The face of the woman had wrinkles on her face, green eyes, and several white hairs can be seen on her light brown hair.
The woman looked at the boy who opened the door, showed a kind smile as she hugged him and said "Ron you came, how are you my boy??"
"I am fine, sister, how are you??" Ron replies as he hugs her back.
"I am also doing good, are you ready for today? This will decide your future but remember even if you got something not good remember there are more options in life" Sister asked as she was worried about the boy who can't even use Mana.
"I know, that's why I am excited, I will be finally able to use Mana" Ron exclaimed excitedly and broke the hug.
Ron then help sister to carry the bag and go inside.
When they both went inside Ron saw one more person sitting on the chair with a tired expression on his face and closed eyes.
He is an old man around 69 years old with white beard and white hair; he is also the priest of this church.
In church the total number of people who live here are six - Mark, Marco, Iris, priest, sister and finally Mary.
"Phew~~ today really is one exhausted day" Priest as he opened his eyes to see both of them coming.
"Hello son, how are you doing?? I heard you came" Priest asked this as he looked towards Ron with a smile.
"I am doing fine father, how about you father, I see a lot of people at church today" Ron answered As he handed over the shopping bag to Iris.
"..sign…what can I say, people only come to God for their own benefits every time otherwise they don't even bother to remember God for what they have'' Priest said this with a sad expression.
"It's not like that, they just want the best for their children" Sister reluctantly said.
"Yeah maybe, anyway today Iris and Ron have an important event to attend, so let's have a meal then head towards the awakening tower together" Priest said while standing up to move towards the dining table.
"Ok" "Alright" They both also sat down where one else was already sitting.
On the table there were various types of dishes made of potato and other vegetables.
At 2:00 pm
After lunch, everyone was ready to head out.
They lock the doors and move towards the awakening tower together.
On the way they see many families moving together towards the tower.
After a 15 minutes walk, they arrived at the entrance of the tower.
The interior of the tower has a simple stone floor, one stage and barriers on the sideways for family members.
On the floor there is one big circle printed and inside the circle there is the star printed on it.
The children who became 15 will all stand on the star then their mana tool will awaken.
Ron and Iris both now stood in the crowd of the children, there were nearly 50 children who now awakened the mana, their mana tool.
Priest, sister, Mary, mark and mush stands in the sidelines for watching.
Suddenly an old man around 85 years old comes up on stage while one black metallic ball floats in front of him.
He has a long white beard and hair, he wears a purple witch hat and long loose clothes.
He is the Guardian of the tower, each tower has their own guardian.
The old man comes at the stage and said while his eyes seems to be closed "WELCOME FUTURE OF THE KINGOLLDS KINGDOM"
as the all attention of the people focus on him, His voice seem to amplified by the Metallic ball which is floating in the air, as he continue "I GUARDIAN OF THIS TOWER, CONGRATULATES ALL OF YOU FOR COMING HERE FOR AWAKENING MANA TOOL"
"LISTEN NO MATTER THE MANA TOOL YOU GETS, IT DEPENDS YOU HOW YOU DEVELOP IT TO ACHIEVE YOUR OWN DREAMS"
"EVEN THE WORST MANA TOOL CAN BE USEFUL, IF THE USER USES THE MANA TOOL CORRECTLY"
"AND THE LASTLY MAKE YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND THIS TOWN FEEL PROUD OF YOU"
"NOW IT'S THE TIME FOR AWAKENING CEREMONY" as he finished his speech, the whole hall burst into cheers.
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
Finally, now is the time for the awakening ceremony.
"FIRST WILL BE TURNED OF NOBLES OF THIS TOWN THEN EVERYBODY ELSE"
As he said, the two arrogant young men came forward to the center of the star.
They were the children of the Noble who is in incharge of this town.
Even though they were the lowest rank of the nobility, they are like gods in this Town nobody can defy them unless a high rank nobility is present.
