Tomorrow as all of you know, is the day when everyone here awakens "guidance"(the nickname of the system)with your special traits.
Itis as of now that boys and girls at the age of twelve are becoming men and women.
I wish you all the luck. The lesson ends, you can all go home know. See you tomorrow.
"Huuu…Finally! I can get my trait!" Said a boy with black hair that was pretty tall for his age.
His trained body that could compare to his seniors wasn't the thing that you whould notice the first. His looks aren't great. It's the dark green eyes that are standing out. Creating the illusion of being somewhat handsome.
The boys name is Arden. Ar isn't liked by his classmates because he's friends with the class beauty. He's the only one that she let's to talk to her. It creates envy but since a long time ago Ar doesn't care. He was always a bit more mature than his classmates. Generating a distant look.
After he came home, he went right to his room to wait for the awakening.
Just a few minutes and he will connect to the system. So he patiently waited…

"Aghh… what is this, why does my head hurt so much?! Stop ittttt!" Because of the pain Ar lost consciousness.
"Um…that was… ehm…more painful than expected?" So embarrassing I never heard of someone blackin-"
"Oh"
Ar noticed a floating panel with words in it

==================================
"Haaaa" I exhaled. There was really a lot to take in. I was really taken back by how unique I am. From what I heard getting a stat evaluation of "mid" basically means that you are lucky or worked pretty damn hard.
I consider myself hard-working but my constitution stat is labeled as "low-mid"
By that evaluation I can pretty much say that I'm one of the few lucky ones.
The thing that suprised me the most weren't stats or a skill, but my name.
The thing is my family lastname isn't Kamura.
My full name is- ehm…should be Arden Windwalker
My moms last name before marriage also wasn't Kamura. Am I adopted or something?
"Oh! why didn't I think of that" It may be actually really simple. One of my predecessors may have not know the name of his real parents and here I am..right…
Oh whatever! I can finally level up like my seniors.
This is so exciting, if only I could unlock my traits right now…
By the way I'm really glad I won't need to register my status like the others. My family is actually pretty influential. I'm going to go to a famous academy, where I'll learn important stuff. I'm actually going to leave tomorrow morning
I'm going to learn about skills, monsters and fighting. I actually had instructor that prepared me by teaching me the basics, like hand to hand fighting, how to use a spear, a little bit of swordsmanship and hunting.
Honestly, even tho it's impractical I enjoyed hand to hand combat the most. And by the look of my passive skill [adept hands] I really have some talent for it. I did pretty good with spear too. but I was training more throwing than wielding. My instructor was really suprised when I killed a rabbit in a 15 meter distance.
"Cink cink!" After I heard the doorbell I came downstairs and open the door. Before me was a cute looking girl. My classmate Linda.
"Arrrr! I got a cool ability look at this!!"
She took my hand and the same second I felt a weird sensation throughout my whole body.
Rarely standing a looked at her with a creepy smile and said "Hi ,of course you can come in" with the most sarcastic voice I have ever made
Then she just said thanks and went straight to my to my room. "Haha if this is how you want to play it than ok." He smiled evilly without even knowing
I came upstairs with a bulletproof plan "hi hi"
I grinned so hard I looked like a comic book supervillain.
We had a 15 minute talk about our statuses for a bit and then I said something that picked her interest
"Want to go to the sparring room to test our new abilities" I said with a not so friendly looking smile
"Of course but tell me if you want to stop I don't want to hurt you" said Linda excitedly
"Worry about yourself little one"
She stopped walking for a sec but than started started walking to the sparring room as if nothing happend
After we got there a looked at her and said
"Sorry did that make you angry? Can't really recognize it from up here"(they 12 bro cringe humor is intended for now)
The second I said that I got hit by an incoming lightning strike. 'How is that even possible I have skill that makes me adept with hands and she shoots lightning?'I thought to myself before standing up and taking a weird looking stance that looked like I was trying to catch a rabbit
We were approximately 5 meters away from each other. The lightning strike I impossible for the current me to dodge but before she fires she mades a weird motion as if charging
Before the next lightning strike came I made quick roll to close the distance I did it a little to much to the side because I wasn't sure if it wouldn't hit me I was 3,5 meters away from her I immediately stood up with the motion from the roll not wasting any time everything around me was quiet as if nothing else ever mattered more than this single fight i didn't even think about anything one second means a lightning to the body I completely relied on my reflexes and wits
I saw her charging again I maid a movement to the right but it was faint and I went to the left side of the lightning strike. Only 2 meters left end I'll end it
As I was getting closer and closer I saw her charging up again. This was the moment of truth I ducked and evaded what I wasn't expecting was a knee to the head following right after she fired her lightning.
The truth is I wasn't that surprised. I know her for far to long to expect an easy win. The thing why I didn't anticipate this attack was because I didn't needed to. My body was comparable to 14 years old, while she was a 12 years old girl.
I didn't tried to dodge or block i opened my hands as if I was some creep trying to hug a thigh. I myself thought that it looked kind off funny, when my face temporarily changed shape.
So when I felt the pain I endured and caught her leg in a bear hug, brought her up and after I heard
"Wait! I surrender!!!!!" I stopped my actions then she letted out a relieved sigh.
"Didn't you take that a bit two seriously?"
"What?!" I couldn't help but yell "what do you mean seriously?!?! I was literally barehanded dodging lightning strikes."
"Hahaha, I was having fun okay. You know it's not easy to see you this frustrated. I always lost when we where sparring so I wanted to win at least for once" she said not smiling as much as before
"Haaa" I sighed. Now I feel bad for this little devil that just attempted to brutally murder me for her inferiority problem. Kind of cute…wait what?
"Don't take it so hard you are just learning how to use it effectively. After three days you might fry my sorry ass." As if I'll let her…
"Right but aren't you going to leave tomorrow?"
"Your right" i sighed "But why don't you go with me?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well aren't you basically a walking lightning shooter. Even if you don't pass the entrance exam they would still admit you as a special talent worth nurturing, right?"
"Ar, you genius head. Why didn't I think about it!?"
"But will your parents be okay with it you know it's a while from here?" I thought about her two meter high, muscle head father that might kill me for this idea. "Ufff"
Linda thought about it for a while then said "it may take me a while because it's so sudden but dad isn't able to turn me down. I'll go ask him right away so see you tomorrow"
"Bye"
"Daddy, you know I thought that when Ar is leavi-"
"No"
"W- what do you mean no? You don't even know what I wa-"
"You aren't going with THAT BRAT anywhere not through my living body!!!"
Next day in the morning…
"Bye dad, love you" Linda was slowly going to her wagon with her important luggage
"Bye sweetheart tell that brat that if a some boy even touches your hair that I'll break all of his bones"
"Sure dad don't worry" Linda was sad because of leaving but she'll see him again after some months.
A gorilla of a man stood in his doorframe looking at a leaving wagon "shit I'm so weak against her"
