Hearing Derek mention the familiar names I could not be but feel a wave of admiration pass through me. Anthony Jackson and Byron Jackson are some of the most famous faces in the whole of CPF they are hailed as heroes for defending our solar system from alien invaders, and Anthony, who sacrificed himself to defend humanity. The respect the people have for him cannot even be put into words. Not to mention him nearly level 100 when most primes do not even cross the barrier of level 50.
"The amount of skills that you unlock at becoming a prime implies the amount of talent you have in getting to a higher level and the speed of your leveling.
"Now turn on your watches and fill in your information so you can see your levels"
As instructed we put on the prime watch and powered it on. When I turned it on, I could feel a tinge from the watch, as if it connected with my body. The display turned bright with the PA logo.
When I finished filling out my details. The display showed the following
{ Adam
Level: 1
Ordinary Prime
Unlocked skills: 1
Skill Information: N/A
Branch: Veridian City }
Looking at my information it felt a bit underwhelming but only looking up at those more blessed would make one feel miserable so I still am extremely grateful as I am more blessed than 95% of the human population
"It shows that I am level 1 and I have a single skill but It does not tell me about my skill" Alex asked
"Yes, that is something you need to figure out. The watch can tell your level but it cannot tell what skill you unlocked. You will be able to discover what type of skill it is. It is a special journey every awakened human needs to go through. Afterwards, you need to give detailed information about your skill to the PA. If you have a skill that has not been recorded in the PA database, you can give it a name."
"Other than that. Primes also need suitable pieces of equipment. There are different categories and ranks of equipment. Prime, Super, True, Complete, Supreme. There are 3 sub-levels to each rank. For example, there is a low-grade prime weapon, a mid-grade prime weapon, and a high grade."
"The prime watch is considered a low-grade prime equipment as it can affect energia"
"Lastly, there is a voluntary 1-year education course for all newly awakened humans in Prime Association Academy at the capital of Central Prime Federation, The Prime City. As it's voluntary so you can withdraw from participating without any consequences. But I would highly recommend you do as all geniuses from bigshot families will be there to build connections, who knows maybe one of you will be able to befriend some of them."
" The current course is 6 months in already so you guys will have to join in the next course. You have 4 months to decide if you are attending as you have to inform the PA 2 months beforehand "
"That is all. Goodluck newbies. You lot are dismissed"
Saying that Derek packed up his things and left the room leaving the three of us
"Are you guys going?" I chose to break the silence with my question
"Yes definitely" Alex said
"No, It's not that I don't want to, I just have a few things that I need to deal with before I am free to go, I will probably go next year if they allow"
"What business" Alex asked shamelessly
"No need to be a busybody when you just met him"
Alex looked rather unhappy with my reply as he scoffed in displeasure before deciding to leave
Mike gave me a grateful simile before leaving me alone in the classroom
I have spent about 6 hours in the PA since entering. I wonder what my Dad was up to this whole time. I can already imagine his blissful face when he gets to know that I was actually able to awaken at 17 when all the odds were against me.

Upon entering the lobby I made my way towards the lounge I left my Dad at.
I could see my old man with the very familiar black hair and beard just like mine dozing off on one of the luxurious sofas.
I nudged at him lightly
"Adam..?"
"??!!"
" Adam you're back! What happened!? Did you fail?!!"
"Dad were you expecting me to fail?"
"Oh no no obviously not" My old man turned his head away, averting my gaze
"Dad I awakened, I am a prime now...you won't have to worry about the business shutting down"
My Dad's eyes widened in astonishment and later turned teary
"Thank God" Hugging me my old man cried out

After I shared my experiences with my Dad, we made our way out of the association and to our car to get home.
