"Finally. I can feel my heart beating faster and faster with each passing seconds."
"I don't know how to feel."
"You look at you, I couldn't even sleep last night. I almost died from excitement from all those thoughts."
"Hahahaha, my father has a D grade talent, my mother F and My elder brother, D. Without doubt I'm going to acquire a good talent. My family have already started cooking for a celebration back home, with a Mid-Wild Monster meat involved. It's going to be joyous, I'm inviting you guys in advance."
" Stop celebrating over an unhatched egg you fool. I have been involved in a set of rigorous training for the past three months in the hidden. Hopefully, while I awake a good talent, I also want to achieve something good for the exam. Don't be so short sighted bro." Puffing with pride the youth patted his realizing friend on the shoulder.
"I don't expect much, just awakening a D grade talent should do!"
"That's still being greedy. Why not wish for an S grade then.
The students all discussed excitedly, feeling their blood pump faster and their imagination running wild from the thrill of thinking of what their life would be after today.
The girls dressed in short pleated skirts of sky blue color with matching white blazers, and the boys button-down shirts of similar color. Gathered in groups of either same or mixed gender, feeling excitement, fear, anticipation, and worry.
But standing amidst them, distant from the whole lively scenario as he rested his back against the wall with no expression or whatsoever on his face that could be related to the tense atmosphere… With just average looks, Eric cooly maneuvered his gaze towards the opposite direction, trying not to appear awkward. Meanwhile, he was the most anticipating person amidst them, the moment he had waited for all his life, the past eleven years since he lost his parents, was about to happen.
Just like everyone in this world, the Awakening Graduation at the age of eighteen, played a crucial part in deciding his fate and life.
"Hello!" hushing the rowdy crowd with his presence, a fat man in a formal suit, dressed in such that there was a stern temperament around him, stood before the gathered crowd in the all, on a raised podium.
"We all know the crux and importance of our world. While I don't want to go over the same thing you've been told over and over for the past three years. Your talent grade and its importance starting from F to SSS. I also want to remind you that awakening lesser grade talent, especially an F would be the same as awakening none. Because owning a quirk or superpower in long term, doesn't support growth.
"Be reminded, there's a difference between quick, an example of having stretchy arms."
"Super powers, limited imposed talents that only allow half aspect, also the most common."
"And true talents, which is said to compromise of D grade upward."
F represented a common quirk that could be used in daily lives and totally couldn't be used for combat.
E, superpowers.
And from D upward, the true spawns of this erw that were destined for a brighter future.
Breaking the thoughts of the students after the brief silence, the fat stern man suddenly revealed a smile.
"While it seems that most won't make it past this stage to college. It is in my best interest as the principal of this School that you all awakened great talents. Also remember, there's still a lot more to life than after this day." commenting in a warm tone, the fat man raised the gloomy atmosphere, allowing a lively one to take place.
Whilst, when the students heard this, their expressions hardened. Of course, they all knew this, they were only being reminded as customary.
Soon after the students became excited, as they were youths after all.
Some resumey fantasizing about them awakening their SSS grade talent, while others imagined the scene of them being at the top of society.
But then the fat man seemed to have received a notice, standing up, he gazed at the students.
"Rise, the previous class has completed their awakening. Next, it's our turn. Everyone line up in an orderly manner!"
Moving without question, the hall quietened and began to move orderly.
Now would be the time to decide on their future
