Chapter 4 - World Tree

"Few minutes later"

The Nurse from earlier came to the room to prepare him for departure. After checking his condition she turned to him don't over exert much she helped him standup and walked him out of the room.

Jacob could feel his bones arching as he walked with the help of the nurse difficulty.

"Ouch!"

Jacob couldn't take it anymore and the nurse quickly sat him down on a wheelchair. They soon reached the luxury car and another man working for his parents helped him to the car.

"Are you sure you don't need the chair?''

No! Jacob said.

The car quickly drove off. Jacob then looked at his parents who's were behaving different for some reason. He then closed his eyes lost in though.

The area for awakening was a special place in the east of the city, it is present in other cities and places in the world.

It is called the World Tree.

Jacob looked out the side of the window and saw a huge glowing tree in the distance and around it was a large formation and some guards around the place with formidable Auras.

Soon they reached the entrance and they drove in and even his father who was a man of influence was behaving respectful here.

Now that Jacob stared at the sacred tree up close he was amazed, because even a picture of the tree wasn't available in the internet so people can only guess.

As the car got closer to the other side of the giant tree were the process was going on. He saw a giant door brown door with some runes on it and a lot of people getting ready to enter at a time with the majority being students of various Academy.

Jacob looked at everybody there and noticed something as the people were separated into two parts with the first section being for people with influencial family and top students of various Academy.

As the car stooped it gained the attention of a lot of people as it was luxury type.

Wow look at that car who could it be? Am guessing one of those people from those luxury family.

But the majority couldn't recognize which one except some few people.

The car door opened and his father stepped down feeling nervous inside as their family isn't like those ones who have awakened persons with them, they were normal people. He walked to the adult area were some influencial people like him were there.

The butler from earlier helped Jacob standup and walked him to where the people were in the first section.

Some of his class mates were there including his former friends, Jacob saw Jennifer among them but when he saw her distant expression he looked away.

People were looking at his condition wrapped in bandages some gazes with pity and mockery as the fight between him and Dame was spread among the academy in school and some people outside recognized him.

The butler turned to him; can you move young master because from this point forward I can't take you any further as there is a restriction on awakens like me.

It's okay Sebastian I can move on my own Jacob said to the butler.

As the butler went away Jacob felt pain in his body as the support on Sebastian left him.

His phone vibrated and he brought it out despite the pain of moving him self. He saw an unknown message he felt an omnimous feeling as he clicked on it and read the details.

He was shocked and he momentary didn't feel the pain.

"Lilian is dead"

He didn't want to belief it but he subconsciously turned to where his mother is and a sorrowful expression could be seen on her face.

His phone dropped to the ground but someone catched it in time.

"Hay there you dropped your phone"

He slowly turned and he saw a brown haired girl with a sturdy but beautiful body and an average height black haired girl with red glowing eyes was by her, she was holding his phone.

Hello there!

He snapped out his trance momentally forgeting what he just saw and greeted then with a forced smile on his face. My name is Jacob and you?

The tall girl answered; am Javis and my friend here is Betty she answered. Are you okay she looked at him with a concerned face and her friend looked at him intently with her strangely glowing eyes, making him uncomfortable.

"Am fine! He answered."

It's almost time for the awakening just four minutes left. After a moment of thought Jacob asked her when we awake how do we know the grade of our ability, he asked to distract himself.

She then pointed at the artifact on the door it shows the grade of the kind of ability one gets, it starts from Common grade, Rare and Unique grade, Elite grade, Heavenly, and Divine grade.

But there are still Denonic and Forbidden grade but having these two types are frowned upon those kind of people are usually in hiding.

Jacob sat on the ground and asked then how do those people awaken? Javis looked at him and said well they have their own world tree.

Their conversation was interrupted as their was a commotion. A helicopter landed and a man with unfathomable aura came down with a girl around their age followed behind him all the adults there went to greet him.

As Jacob sat there with his own thoughts trying to know who they are. Betty exclaimed that's the Governor one of the worlds strongest people and the girl following behind him is his daughter.

Jacob looked at the unreasonably tall man and muttered a Giant.

The girl walked among the crowd of students as they gave way for her and she started mingling with some of the top students mostly people she knew.

"Silence everyone the man uttered"

The place calmed down in seconds and everyone stood upright. It is time for the Awakening process to begin!

At that moment the giant door on the tree slowly opened and the whole tree started glowing, a white light then shot to the sky separating the clouds and the door was giving a mystical presence.

You can now enter! The Governor said.

Jacob immediately felt a pressure on his body that made it harder to move and he felt like he wanted to loose consciousness.

Everyone felt it but not as worse as Jacob with his injured body.

"Are you okay Javis asked him. You shouldn't have come here with your condition she looked at his fatigued body with concern."

Jacob didn't answer but gritted his teeth and started walking to the gate. They looked at him inshock injuries on his body started opening the white bandage around him stained with a little blood, Betty stared at him intently as she can smell a faint scent of blood.

He continued moving to reach the door trying to distract himself from the pain he was feeling of Lilian death, all this pain made a gloomy Atmosphere around him and making people create distance from him.

"What's wrong with this guy some people frowned, with even Betty and Javis creating some space."
