Chereads / Path to Reach Godhood / Chapter 4 - Awakening Ceremony (Part-1)

Chapter 4 - Awakening Ceremony (Part-1)

"Well... Now, I have to go brother, Good luck for your Awakening ceremony "

"Hahaha...Thanks big sis, And you were awesome their teaching those arrogant fools a lesson, I think from now you should be given a nickname for that amazing performance " I teased Alice and, Damn it was really satisfying watching Alice face, getting beet red from embarrassment.

"Shut up!...Baka" Alice Shouted with embarrassment and run off to somewhere.

Watching Alice run off with embarrassment, I just smiled amusedly and thought. Well now where should, is the supposed awakening ceremony going to happen.

I started walking towards the Notice board deep in thought.From their, I get to know the location of the awakening ceremony and started heading towards the location.

When, I reached the necessary location, Their was a crowd of nearly 1000 students. I just found a seat and sat down and waited for the awakening ceremony to start.

"I am really worried, about what kind of element, I will awaken!?"

"Dude!!.. It's doesn't matter what kind of element you awakens, the thing is how talented you will be in that element!!"

"Yeah, Elements are not that important, we can easily get recruited by any organisation or family, as long as we have nice talent in that particular element"

As, I was waiting for the ceremony to start, I noticed many students chatting with each other with nervousness and anticipation written on their faces. All of them aware that today, It will be decided whether or not they will have a nice future or not.

Though, I can also see some particular students in the crowd, who are sitting there calmly as if the result of today's awakening didn't matter much to them. If I have to make a guess, then they must be from Noble families like me. Afterall, no matter how small a noble is, he will be still miles ahead of a commoner in authority.

That's why they don't worry much about whether or not they have good talent or not, As they can just inherit their Noble authority and can still live a life of Luxury.

"Hey buddy, what's up" Someone asked me. Looking to my right, I saw a 16yr old boy with blond hair and has black eyes with a handsome face smiling at me.

"Yeah...what can i do for you!?" I asked curiously

"Nah... Nothing serious it's just that you also look like a Noble to me, so i thought to pass some time talking to one of my peer, than wasting my time waiting for the ceremony to start"

"Ohh... is that so!?, but why particularly me, Their are a lot of students here. And, if you don't like talking to commoners then, I can also recognise quite a number of Nobles around here by just looking at them seating with grace and calmness " I questioned him curiously. I thought that he has recognised me from the mornings incident and is here to flatter me or something. And listening to some annoying flattering is the last thing I want right now.

"Well... you are not particularly wrong when saying about not liking to talk to commoners thing, it's just that...." He scratched his hair awkwardly and continued: " It's not that, I don't like talking to commoners, It's just that most of them immediately starts flattering me for favour" He said with disgust in his voice.

"And as for Nobles, well as I myself as a Noble am well aware of the Arrogant nature of most of the nobles. They will immediately start flaunting their status and start talking about stupid things " This time there was disdain dripping from his voice.

"Well, My name is Tatsuya, Tatsuya Vermelli " He introduced himself to me with a calm smile.

"Oh... so you are from the Marquees family of Vermelli's"

"Yeah... what about you dude"

"Well, Myself John Bright, son of Leon Bright " I also introduced myself and the name of my house.

"W-what, You are the son of Mad Beast Count" Tatsuya exclaimed dumbfounded. He thought, I am just a normal noble who isn't full of arrogance like others and he can pass his time by talking to me.

"Yep, And can't you just call my father with his real name"

"Sorry, It's just that, I was very much surprised, Afterall your father is very famous with that Nickname " Tatsuya apologized upon realising his inappropriate behaviour which is not befitting of an Noble.

"Damn even i haven't thought that, My old man is that famous". Now Even i was very much surprised and was wondering the reason for this nickname of my Father's.

After this little episode, we both started talking about random things to pass time. And if i have to say honestly than Tatsuya was a nice guy to talk to. We quickly became friends and started laughing and talking like we have known each other for a long time. When suddenly,

"Silence!!!"

"!!!"

Hearing that, the entire auditorium suddenly became silent. And everyone looked at the source of the sound to see that, An old man had suddenly appeared on the stage. Although, the old man looks like he had a foot in the grave but his eyes who were full of vigor and his suffocating auro suggested otherwise. Who else could it be other than-

"Students, My name is William Frost. And I am the Principal of the Royal Star Academy. I am very happy to see that so many students have come here to become Awakeners who in the future will become Protectors of the kingdom."

"So Without wasting anymore time, let's start the awakening ceremony...! "

After saying that, He clapped his hands twice and two people, a boy and a girl appeared on the stage while carrying a Transparent Orb and a slate which is connected to the orb. Looking at those two people it seems that they are our seniors.

"Hello, My name is Augustus Anderson. And, I am a 3th year student of this Academy and, I am going to show you how the awakening ceremony works. All you have to do is place your hands on this orb and concentrate on it" After saying that, He puts his hands on the orb and closed his eyes.

After sometime, the orb started glowing pale blue and suddenly water appeared near the orb out of thin air. At the same time the Slate connected to the orb emitted light for a few seconds and after that some written text appeared on it.

Their was a screen present on the stage to show all of us what was written on the slate.

Name:- Augustus Anderson

Age:- 19yr-old

Talent:- Mid-grade Gold

Element:- Water Element

Bloodline:- Frost Spirit bloodline

Bloodline Grade:- Mid-level bronze

Special abilities:- None

"Hello juniors, My name is Amelia Parker and I am a 3rd year student same as Augustus. And as you can see here, this is the talent, bloodline and physique information about Augustus "

"Although, I think most of you understand the ranking of grades, but still I am sure there must be a few ignorant fools who don't know the ranking these grades. So let me first enlighten those idiots before starting the awakening ceremony " Mia said with disdain

"Talents are divided into the following grades:-

1. Bronze

2. Silver

3. Gold

4. Platinum

5. Diamond

6. Royal

7. Holy

8. Primordial

And these grades are further divided into 4 Sub-levels that is:-

1. Low-level

2. Mid-level

3. High-level

4. Peak-level

Similarly, Bloodline grade is also divided in the same way as Talents.

As for Power levels, They are divided in the following stages:-

1-star

2-star

3-star

4-star

5-star

6-star

7-star

8-star

9-star

General Stage

King Stage

Emperor Stage

And this levels are also divided into sub-levels similar to the talents.

And as for the bloodline, physique and special abilities, it is the job of the teachers to tell you about that." Amelia explained

"I am sure many of you are mocking, Augustus right now, after looking at the levels of talents but, fools this ranking of talents has been prepared since time immemorial and they are used to measure the talents of some of the greatest legends of the past. And I'm sure many of you will have talents even lower than the talents shown in Augustus slate" Amelia said disdainfully after noticing the mocking glances some idiots were sending towards Augustus.

"Any questions...?" Amelia asked

Among the crowd of students, a noble looking student raised his hand.

"Yeah, what is it...!?"

"Senior Amelia, can we choose whether or not to show our talent information...!?"

"Yes, It's possible to hide your talent information except of the element you awakened and your talent in that element." Amelia clarified and then said mockingly: "Though, You can also hide the talent of your element if it's higher than Peak Platinum grade, which is nearly impossible"

"Also, only those students will be accepted in the academy that have talent higher than High-grade bronze" One of the female teacher standing at back of the principal said

"W-what, How is this possible...?"

"Their is a talent limit...!?"

"B-but How could they...?"

"Silence..!!!" The same female teacher roared

"Do you think the Academy will waste it's precious resources on worms that have such a low talent...!?"

"Now, now Lena watch your language...!" The principal said

"Sorry headmaster.... I will be careful next time" Lena answered respectfully

"Now, Let the awakening ceremony begin...!!" Headmaster announced

"First is ,Rex tepes"

A black-haired boy stood up and went to the stage. Their was nervousness and anxiety clearly written all over his face.

"Now, now don't be so nervous, even I was very nervous when I awakened. Just take a deep breath and relax " Amelia said

The boy listened to her advice and took a deep breath and exhaled.

"Thanks, It helped a little "

After that, Rex came close to the transparent orb and placed his hands on it and closed his eyes to concentrate properly on the orb.

After a few seconds, the orb started emitting green light and plants started growing on the surroundings. Rex opened his eyes which were emitting green light and heard the headmaster saying,

"Hoh...the element of plant, a rare element on the first student, it seems that our academy will get good seedlings this time.... hahahaha" The old headmaster laughed cheerfully.

"Congratulations, Student Rex, You have got the element of plant which is a pretty rare element and is very helpful" Augustus congratulated

"Yeah, with this element even if your talent is High-grade bronze you will get admission in the academy" Lena said indifferently

"Thanks teacher" Rex thanked obviously with relief hearing her say that.

"Now, Rex concentrate on the Slate so that we can see your other information" Amelia reminded Rex

"Yes senior" Saying so, Rex concentrated on the slate and soon the information appeared on the screen.

Name:- Rex Tepes

Age:- 16yrs old

Talent:- High-grade sliver

Element:- Plant element

Bloodline:- None

Physique:- None

Stage:- 1-Star (Low level)

Special abilities:- Can attract plant element particles 1.2 times the normal speed

"Hahahaha...Plant element with High-grade Silver talent and also the presence of a special ability, it seems that the Gods have blessed Royal Star Academy this year" Headmaster William laughed happily obviously very pleased with the result

"Yeah, Although the special ability is ordinary but we have to keep in mind that special abilities are very rare and having one is a great blessing itself " Teacher Lena said indifferently but the slight smile on her face make it clear that, even she was happy with this result.

"Alright, Next....is Robert brown"
