As he left the house, Noah changed into a robe he didn't often wear. He would have to try to find a way into the Academy, so that his younger siblings could grow up healthy and happy.
It was this robe that Noah remembered from a few years ago when he had taken John with him to pick wild vegetables in the mountains. There was an old man who, on seeing the two children, had the initiative to say hello to them.
After a bit of conversation, they found out that the old man had once grown vegetables on the side of a mountain. Although he now lived in the city, he still went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables in his spare time.
John also gave the old man the wild vegetables he had just picked: "Big Brother always tells us that as long as we don't endanger our own lives or the lives of our family members, we can help others outside.
He then said a few more. The old man was amused by his straightforward nature. Then he picked up the wild vegetables and said goodbye to the two young men, asking them to wait for him here tomorrow at the same time.
When the old man left, the Noah and John were puzzled, but they still decided to wait at here the next day.
The next day, the old man was indeed waiting for them. The old man picked up the rucksack behind him and took out two clean and nice looking clothes and gave them to them.
At first they refused the old man's kindness. After all, giving the old man some wild vegetables in exchange for two good-looking clothes would have been different.
But the old man insisted on giving them the gift, saying that their character was very much like his own son, who had died on the battlefield.
After a while, Noah and John took the clothes the old man had given them and said goodbye to him. From that point on, neither Noah nor John would ever wear that clothes again, unless it was a particularly important day.
This is not only the good intentions of the old man, but also sent to the miss of the child. And that will not allow others to insult and trample on others.
Not long after this, Noah went into town.
He would have travelled around the city before to look for opportunities, so he quickly made his way to the square where the Awakening Ceremony was being held.
In the middle of the square was a statue of a powerful man from thousands of years ago who had chosen to sacrifice himself to protect the people of the country.
So the Awakening Ceremony was set up here to tell the young people that becoming a psychic was only the beginning. There may be a better future, but the fate of everything is in their own hands.
As the Awakening Ceremony site was in a state of uninterrupted silence, Noah went straight to the shop next door to register.
Noah went to the side of the queue when he was told he would have to wait another hour before being awakened.
Noah also cried and laughed as he looked at this board. This one who is so good at writing to be able to play here and not go to the Academy is really suffering.
Time passed slowly and Noah waited. He looked at the people in front of him who had participated in the Awakening Ceremony like him, only less than 20% of them had succeeded. And most of those who had succeeded were also hovering around the D and F levels.
At present, there was only one person who had reached level C. At that time, when he awakened his powers, the awakening stone emitted a strong purple light, and a voice rang out, "Wu, level C power, rock."
One short sentence had already made Wu excited, as he had become a C-class Awakened. He would be able to become at least a junior squad leader as long as he didn't die in the future.
Noah wasn't in a hurry when he saw this, he stayed in the queue until a person tapped him at the back. "Brother, let me get in front of you and I can give you three hundred," he said, turning his head to see a man whose body could be compared to Jeptha's looking at him with a smile.
Noah had waited a long time and didn't want to wait another. Just as he was about to refuse, the fat man said again, "Six hundred, my name is Kimdo, nice to meet you."
Noah, who had originally frowned, immediately smiled and gave Kimdo a seat, saying, "After you, my friend."
Just kidding, who would have a problem with money. Besides, he has four kids need to feed.The six hundred would buy Annie's favourite spices and books, good food for Jeptha, dolls for Ying and a nice martial arts book for John.
Kimdo was intimidated by the look in Noah's eyes and gave him the six hundred before standing straight in line without looking back.
This little episode didn't stop Noah, as he said, "If I can't awaken a good ability today, I can at least buy back some of their favourite things to make up for it.
Whenever he thought he might not be able to awaken and achieve anything, he would get frustrated.
He was human and would be upset by something unpleasant. But he was also human and would be happy about something happy. He motivates himself every time, pushing himself to do better, to make his siblings less dangerous.
Noticing Noah's frustration, Kimdo also began to greet and chat with him voluntarily, and the two began to chat in the group as well.
While chatting, they also learned basic information about each other.
Soon it was time for Kimdo to awaken his powers, he went to the stage and put his hand on the awakening stone.
After a short while, the voice rang out again, "Kimdo, A-ranked psychic ability, diamond".
Everyone looked at the fat man in front of them and their mouths dropped open. This was the first A class today and this month, and it scared the person in charge who was still sitting in the shop, so much so that he ran to the stage.
Wiping off his sweat while holding Kimdo's hand, he said, "Mr Kimdo, why didn't you tell us when you came here to wake up today?"
For his part, Kimdo said nonchalantly: "I just happened to pass by and awakened by chance."
The person in charge also invited Kimdo to take a seat in the shop, but he spoke up and said, "No, I'll watch here, leave later."
Then, looking at Noah, he raised his thumb and shouted, "Go ahead, and remember to be at least on the same level as me.
Everyone, including the person in charge, turned their heads to look at Noah as well, at which point the people at there watching Noah awkwardly covered his eyes and walked to the stage.
Following the example of the people he had seen earlier, he placed his hand on the Awakening Stone.
In an instant, he felt a force being drawn from his body. A strange but sour feeling came over him. It felt like Annie and Ying were helping stomping his back.
He could feel a force within the Awakening Stone entering his body as well, merging with his own. Perhaps this was the reason why the Awakening Ceremony could help one to awaken.
After a minute, the voice still had not sounded. Everyone was looking at Noah suspiciously, and Kimdo even wanted to run onto the stage to see it up close.
But he remained calm and stood on the stage.
After almost three minutes, the voice sounded, but said something that stunned everyone.
"Noah, unknown powers, unknown. If there is an extreme power in the world, it is destroy and protect!"
The crowd didn't understand why Noah's powers and rank were unknown, and the voice spoke for him.
Normally, the voice would utter a poem or a phrase for some genius, but Noah's phrase was something he had never heard before.
And then a loud voice came from the stage. As the crowd looked over, they saw the Awakening Stone begin to crack and then shatter all over the place.
Noah looked at the person in charge and the crowd and said: "Do you believe me when I say it shattered by itself?"
