Among the crowd of children that had been there to witness the coming of age of one of their fellow brothers and sisters of the orphanage, many were able to grow up and have a similar experience for themselves.
Some awakened their Holo Spirit which was followed by them going out to try to improve their Holo Pet outside of the safety of the walls while some others sought other ways to try to live out their lives.
Not everyone was suited to such a life and there were so many different jobs that could be pursued that were much safer and provided stable support for their lives.
Those that ventured beyond the walls would be living very dangerous lives but if they were able to succeed, they could become someone very respected and powerful.
Even if they were not gatherers or adventurers later in their lives, they could still make a living as guards or bodyguards inside the city.
Not everyone would be guaranteed to be successful just because they had decent talent, worked hard and had a good Holo Spirit to support them.
Not everyone possessed strong enough willpower to keep going through the many difficulties they would have to face while others would not be able to survive such a life for long.
For those who had nothing of their own like the many orphans inside of the orphanage, they had limited options available to them.
They could not get into schools that would set them up in life and they had to go through life with what the orphanage provided them which included lessons given and many other things.
How successful they would be in life would be based on how much they would be able to take from what little they had been given and how well they were able to adapt to the world they were a part of.
Among those children that had grown up, there was a group gathered together who looked varying in age.
Some were thirteen years old while some among them were as old as eighteen.
All of them were busy training their bodies while others among them were holding wooden sticks and swinging them and others were practising holding onto carved wood in the shape of a gun as they practised aiming.
A couple of adults were nearby who continued to guide their posture and movements as they corrected the faults of those gathered.
Many of those who were training were full of sweat and were very tired from a long day of training.
The adults that were teaching let them go and rest leaving them behind to discuss how they should handle the next lessons and who stood out most among those who were training previously.
The adults were former orphans who grew up in the orphanage and had ended up returning to teach the children.
Some continued their lives going outside of the safety of the walls while some had already chosen to retire.
Some among them seemed to be quite healthy and in good condition but others had some injuries and battle scars left from their past struggles.
The teenagers that left were beginning to split up but some kept following behind a small group of them.
It seemed like a lot of them hung around that small group and seemed to show a lot of respect toward them.
Among the small group were three teens who looked to be between sixteen and seventeen years old.
One girl was taking the lead while two boys were walking at each side of her.
The three of them looked quite physically fit as if they had spent a long time training their bodies very seriously.
Perhaps their efforts and results seemed to create a positive effect since it caused them to gain a lot of attention from the others causing them to gain a lot of followers.
When some worked hard, it ended up inspiring others to do the same and that was the kind of effect they had.
They all came from similar circumstances so they were quite united already but there was something else that kept their ties strong.
They had a united goal to pursue and they worked hard to achieve it together while they were rivals too in many ways.
They were capable of supporting each other but they also sought to outdo each other as some wished to achieve their goals together and others wished to be the ones to achieve them first.
The girl that was in the middle of the boys was the most unique in appearance among the three as she possessed a unique pair of eyes that were different colours.
What she had was heterochromia black and pink eyes that stood out a lot like her short green hair when paired up with her brown skin and facial features and other characteristics that closely resembled African Americans.
She had a couple of earrings going up her ears which were more visible on the left side of her head where that side had been shaved much shorter while her hair was parted over to the other side.
She was wearing a worn-out jersey, jacket and shorts that looked like they had been altered and fixed up several times.
Like many others dressed up, they were all wearing clothing that was passed down by those older than them.
If the clothing was damaged or did not fit then they would be fixed up or adjusted slightly.
On her arm was a marking that looked like a tattoo of a snake which was her Holo Pet marking.
Everyone that was talking to her called her Siphon and they seemed to like her a lot while some had a small crush on her since she was one of the girls that was quite good looking and was quite cool to them.
On the right side of her was someone who was being called Zack who had facial features and other characteristics that were mostly closest to being Samoan.
He had blue eyes and his hair was shaved at both sides leaving his ashen-white hair all messy on the top while he was dressed in a jersey, a jacket and a pair of pants.
On his arm was a marking that closely resembled a fox which was his Holo Pet that he could summon.
The final male on the other side was called Kenny and he had white skin with a lot of facial features and other characteristics that could be found in a lot of white English or American people.
He had long sakura pink hair that was tied up and he had a pair of brown eyes while he was dressed in similar clothing to Zack.
On his arm was a marking that closely resembled some kind of dinosaur that walked on two legs.
