"Tsk…finally I am feeling like I am catching some dangerous disease from standing with these peasants" First arrogant man with short hair snorted as he crossed his arms while moving towards the center.
"I couldn't agree more brother" Another arrogant man with long hair also comes forward towards the center.
People who heard this couldn't help but swallow their anger and cast fear towards both of them belonging to a noble family.
They are the twins of the Noble family who is incharge of this town, both are infamous for been ruthless, they treat peasants like their slaves.
They both look very familiar to each other, blond hair, one short and another one long, one have blue eyes, other one have red eyes, they both are wearing expensive clothes and jewelry.
They both stand in the middle of the star, as the old man starts chanting some kind of spell.
As the star started to glow up, and as in front of both two rings started to manifest; one ring was covered in red flames, the other one was covered in a water bubble.
They both reach out their hand and grab the rings, as the two stars started to appear on it.
Everyone watched this with awe in their eyes, after all mostly here is present is peasants, unlike nobles they don't either have large mana pools or mana density.
So they only envy the nobles who have a large mana pool or mana density, but the scene in front of them is so bright and beautiful they could only show awe and admiration in their eyes.
"HOHOHOHO~~CONGRATULATIONS!! SIR NOBLE FOR YOUR BOTH OF YOUR SONS FOR AWAKENED 2 STAR MANA TOOLS, I CAN SEE THEIR FUTURE ARE BRIGHT'' Old man congrats the father of the nobles.
As the one middle aged fat man, who is standing near the stage Separated from the rest of the crowd.
Blond hair like his sons, red eyes, he is wearing expensive clothes, gold rings with gems on each of his fingers, gold chains around his neck.
"Hahaha~~of course they are at least able to do this much to bear the name of a noble man" Middle aged man laughed proudly as he said this.
As the twins came to his father's side with a proud expression, he said "come sons I am proud of both of you, tonight I will throw a party to celebrate your success" As he patted their shoulders.
""Thanks dad"" They both replied with smiles on their faces.
"Let's go home now," Old man said as turned to leave.
The twins look at each other as they come to an agreement with their eyes as they replied "dad you go first, we want to test out our mana tools" As the second twin with long hair nodded at his words.
As he understands his son's intentions, a wicked smile appears on his face.
As he replied "fine but be sure to come back before dinner" As he started to moves towards the exit "ohh~ya be sure to have fun"
Smirk appears on the twin faces as they replied Simultaneously "we sure will" As their father leaves.
They both turned around towards the crowd again and thought 'Now, who will be the best practice dummy for our mana tool to test'.
Now time for commoners for their turn, first will be girls turn then boys.
There are around 13 girls and 18 boys. The total number of children present here for awakening is 31.
"NOW THEN THE GIRLS COME IN THE CIRCLE" As the old man gives an announcement, then the girls start moving towards the circle.
"Iris go and best of luck" Ron give her a smile with encouragement.
Iris looks to Ron for sec *nods* then turns around and moves towards the rest of the girls, while she looks at the sidelines to see the priest, sister, Mary, Mark and Marco cheering for her. Seeing this; she shows a slight smile on her face.
As she continues to move toward the circle, as they come in the circle.
As the old man started chanting again, the circle and star started to brighten up again, with that mana tools started to manifest in front of them.
Various Rings, swords, bows and other objects started to appear from manifestation, but they all are one star.
Two nobles who were seeing this from the sidelines couldn't help but sneer.
Suddenly a very bright light shines in front of the iris, as light starts to dim a very beautiful green pendant appears with four stars on it.
The entire hall fell silenced. It's like time is frozen, everyone is so shocked when they see this, they even forget to breathe.
"I-t's Re-all-y Fo-ur S-tars m-ana to-ol" One girl at the side of Iris exclaimed while trembling with her whole body.
"LEGEND HAS BEEN BORN HERE!!!!"
"REALLY IT'S THE FOUR STAR!!"
"FOUR STARS MANA TOOL FROM THE PEASANT!!!"
"IT'S MEANS THAT WE PEASANTS CAN BE STAND EQUALLY WITH NOBLES!!!"
"THEN W-WE ALS-O HAVE HOP-E FOR PE-OPLE LIKE US!!"
"THAT'S RIGHT, WE CAN ALSO DO WHAT NOBLE CAN DO!!"
The crowd burst into shouting, some showing admiration, some are showing awe, some showing envy or some showing jealousy.
People from church have their mouths and eyes wide open, but they are very happy for iris.
Ron look at iris with surprise with nervous smile on his face and though 'good iris but I will not left behind by you'
But the faces of the nobles are now ugly as they thought 'ho-w coul-d a peasant awaken something greater than us noble, oh yeah we got it, she must have cheated somehow, that's the only explanation'.
At the corner of the audience, there were three people who watched this scene with stunned expressions, wearing long cloaks, as they looked at each other to understand each other with a look in their eyes, then they nodded at each other at the same time.
Iris ignored all the noise, stared at the pendant with slightly wide opened eyes for a few seconds the pendant floated towards her neck and hung.
Old man sees this with slightly opened eyes, as he speak "HOHOHOHO~~LOOKS LIKE ONE LEGEND HAS BEEN BORN IN THIS ERA, ANYWAY CHILD CONGRATULATIONS FOR AWAKENING SUCH A SPLENDID MANA TOOL, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR FUTURE ACHIEVEMENTS"
Iris didn't give any attention to the old man, after the pendant got hung around her neck, she quickly left to where Ron was standing.
Seeing that the girl didn't pay any attention to him, the old man couldn't help but feel depressed.
Ron sees the iris come towards him as he said with excitement in his voice "WOW!! Iris you were amazing there, you got four stars mana tool but attribute you got?!?!"
Iris looked at Ron and said "wind" As she stood beside him.
"Wind? That's awesome!!! I can't wait to find mine!" Ron replied with stars in his eyes.
Now the old man has recovered from his earlier depression, and the old man sees the crowd haven't settled down from earlier excitement.
So, he decided to take a break for about 15 minutes before continuing the event.
….
At outside of awakening tower
""BIG SIS IRIS YOU WERE AMAZING!!!!"" Mark exclaimed loudly as soon as they saw Iris and threw themselves at her.
Iris looked at this with a slight smile on her face, as she patted their small heads then she seperated herself from hug.
"Yay sis you were awesome, you should look at the faces of everyone, especially arrogant Noble's puff- hahahahaha~~~" Mary said as she laughed and remembered the ugly faces of nobles.
*Bonk*
As a bump appears on Mary's head, she looks towards the sister who caused this with a tear in her eyes "why??"
"Don't laugh at others, little lady" Sister said this with a solemn tone.
As my sister turned towards Iris "congratulations my girl, you made us all proud" As moves towards her and hugged her tight.
"Yeah child we are all very happy for you, you made everyone here proud" Priest commented this from the side with a smile.
Iris looks at all her family members with slightly wet eyes.
"by the way, where is Ron?? He should be with you, right? " Sister asked as she saw Ron nowhere to be found.
"Washroom" Iris replied this with one word.
"Maybe he is very nervous about his turn now" Sister speaks with a worried tone.
"Hmph…maybe he is scared to come out now, after seeing the sister awakening" Mary snorted as she stated this.
Everyone rolled their eyes on this, after they all knew if he was scared then he didn't bother coming here.
..sign…we only pray that boy will be fine, may God protect him" Priest said this while closing his eyes and started praying as grab the crossed sign around his neck.
Unknown to them, there were three figures watching them from the corner of the tower, as they watched this family drama, while smiling Creepingly.
