Chapter 14 - Meeting Betty and Explosive News

It didn't take long for the energy restoration pills he ordered to arrive.

It's was brought by a middle aged man with brown colored bird wings behind him and he directly swopped from the sky, Jacob didn't know if it's a human or a beast kin.

"There a lot of strange abilities one can awaken in this world, he thought to himself."

The bird man landed steadily on the yard, causing a small gust of wind.

He looked around and saw a gloomy looking boy with sunken eyes like he could fall asleep at any moment.

"Having a strange eery feeling creeping on his skin in the court yard, he cleared his throat and and asked: are you the one that ordered an energy restoration pill? He asked to confirm."

"Yeah!." Jacob answered not wanting to delay any longer.

His wallet was so low he couldn't afford to buy a mid level pill anyway, let alone a high level one.

After getting the carefully wrapped pill in a cheap blue box, he directly rushed into his room.

And quickly opened it.

[General aura restoration pill]: low level.

He tore it open and brought out an ordinary looking yellow pill.

He tiredly swallowed the pill, it did smell good a bit.

He immediately felt his aura restoration quicken a bit and he also fell asleep.

"After an unknown period of time he woke up tiredly, and muttered as expected a low level pill isn't enough to restore my aura fully."

Only from fifteen percent till forty-five it wasn't much.

"Four hours of sleeping yet my energy is restored so slow? He fell into deep thought.

"It must be his physique, people body changes when they awaken to accommodate the type of power they will awaken."

"A memory slowly surfaced, that time he went into a dungeon, and killed those demon rabbits and passively absorbed their core and even the energy from their body his energy level did went up fast and he didn't get tired." It must be a passive ability he had.

This pill was made with a normal level 1 Awakened beast, yet he recovered so little.

It seems he was more compatible with dark element core, he contemplated still on his bed.

"But am currently short of money now, but that dungeon allowed me to kill indiscriminately as I liked, maybe it was a special occasion."

5:49

Looking at the time he thought it was time to take a walk outside, he liked going out at evening times the most.

He wore new clothes a finely design blue shirt and pants, Sebastian excorted him out.

He took a walk from there with a destination in mind; it was the cities garden or park since some few people go there to relax.

It was kind of far from here and it's a calm and relaxing place, the type of place he needs to rest after expending so much energy.

It wasn't long untill he arrived there on a bus, he was greeted by an exotic sign decorated with myriad of flowers.

[Welcome to the Garden of Eden]

The atmosphere was irresistibly calm and subtly swaying him relaxing his mood and hasting his recovery.

The place was denser with aura than the outside world, just a stay here increased his recovery speed.

He walked in hastily and found an empty spot with a large tree in sight and relaxed under it.

"One could only enter this place for a limited time and for two hours at most, of course if he stayed any longer the garden keeper will chase him out."

Jacob shook this thoughts from his mind and focused on enjoying the scenery.

An hour passed, he still focused on recovering.

With being 80% filled energy he quietly recovered in peace and suddenly he felt a presence of someone approaching him subtle with awaken senses he tensed up.

He quickly stood up and what he saw made his tense body relax, but there was still a surprised expression on his face.

"Betty?." He asked, full of surprise.

"Hello! ,Jacob." What a coincidence we meet here.

Jacobs mind was in turmoil, looking at this girl a head lower than him around his age.

With her white skirt looking cute, her delicate fair pale face, short black hair with red glowing eyes in the dark he felt a sense of pressure from her by a level but remembering he was an awaken too he calmed down.

Betty in question looked at Jacob evaluating him silently.

"Well I never expected to meet you here Betty, Jacob said with genuine surprise on his face."

So do you think am not qualified to enter this place?

No! No! No! It's not what I meant, Jacob hurriedly said.

She didn't even listen to him and continued with a displeased expression on her face: my mom is a top government official in this city one of the people working under Sovereign Ben a Tracendant, she said stating her position clearly.

Jacob was clearly speechless by this outburst.

Realizing she had gone too far she apologized.

Jacob didn't mind and asked asked his current pressing thought, where is Jarvis?

It's complicated but let me cut it short, she's currently preparing to enter the academy.

She's quite strong you know? As she's from a giant race.

Anyway I got something to tell you, it's about our awakening there is something different about it this year.

"Does it have something to do about more people having higher grade Abilities?."

Jacob asked.

Well not just that, from what I know this generation of Awaken has the potential to be stronger than the last because of the blessing of the world tree.

Jacobs expression was still normal hearing this. He heared his father muttering this before.

There is more to this she added: according to my mother some children with powerful experts behind noticed a memory seal on their mind when they came out of the world tree.

So are you saying we have some of our memories sealed after coming out of the world tree? Jacob said.

"Yes!." I do remember the world tree announcement, I don't see anything wrong with my memories.

You can't remember it because the seal is so stronger than your power, she said.

At this moment he realized something and couldn't help but ask.

Wait! You said that children of some experts? Then since experts are behind them why can't they break the seal and remember that part of their memories.

Well even the said experts can't do it without the risk of breaking their descendants minds.

But according to what I know they will naturally remember when they reach the Tracendant realm.

Jacob looked at her silently processing this information.

"Hay!." Stop staring at me like that it's creepy.

Jacob noticed the dark surroundings and the moon covered in clouds it was night time. His attention was drawn to her shining red eyes, she's the one creepy.

Why are your eyes glowing in the dark? He asked confused if it's an Awakened or a racial ability.

"She seemed panicked when she heared him before calming down with a sigh."

Well it's a racial ability of mine it's hard to control because I awakened early, you see am a vampire race, she revealed the explosive news to him.

He kept his calm.
