Grey, holding 3 list of leaf paper walked towards the affinity stone .
"Ok let's start the awakening process of the age group above 11 "Grey shouted and the awakening process of the 3rd group started. Not even a single one awakened the affinity in that group, after that Grey ordered for a 15 minutes break and after which the awakening process for the ideal age 5 will begin.
While waiting on the platform for the 15 minutes break to end , Eldryn noticed most of the children's were very nervous compared to the start of awakening ceremony.
Seeing this Eldryn cursed the Silvercrest royal family,as some time the people will fail to awaken the affinity seed, because of their State of mind and body health if they have just touched the threshold of the body and soul strength required to awaken the affinity seed, which will reduce the chance of awakening the affinity seed from 5 to 20 percent.
Even though, the people failing to awaken the seed will just increase to 2 or 3 in a town ,it will be around 10,000 every 6 month throughout the kingdom,by doing this they will get around 100k -120k of 20 year loyal slave warriors who had the potential to awaken at the age of 5.
And as for giving them motivation to try the awakening ceremony in the next year, it will be the second group of people who will be awakening after them,as there are lot of people who have awakened after the age of 5 .
Eldryn even subconsciously started to hate the royal family for it insidious act ,as it will be always the low class people who have no resources to awaken through various hall will sign the contract from the royal family and he can more or less guess most of this people will be dead by the end of their 20 year service.
As Eldryn immersed in his own thoughts,Grey announced the start of awakening for their group.
Eldryn stood 5 from the last of the group so he watched as everyone infront of him going near the affinity crystal and placed a hand on it and trying to concentrate for 10 seconds and if the affinity seed is form there will be surge of the particular awaken star power for a second around the 5 meter radius which is enough for grey to determine their affinity.
"Next, Eldryn" at Grey's voice Eldryn walked towards the affinity crystal.
" Don't move and try to feel the crystal through your hand " the elder remained him as Eldryn placed his hands on the affinity crystal.
The movement Eldryn placed his hands on the affinity crystal ,he felt an itching sensation in his hand and he felt a burning sensation travel from the crystal through his hand and to his whole body, as he felt an urge to cry, that sensation was replaced by a warm current,and at the same the fourth page of the Supreme Chaos Book opened .
"Successful in awakening, awakened Fire element affinity " as Eldryn begin to look for the change on the first page the shout from the Grey woke him up.
And the sound from the crowd increased ,as there are only 24 children's who have awakened among the 59 children's and that to the basic element affinity which is best suited for attack.
"Congratulations, you can go down now " Grey said with a smile and with that he started to call the next name.
After waiting for another 5 mins the remaining 4 behind Eldryn have also awakened their affinity seed.
"Ok, Congratulations for those who have awakened and others don't worry, you may be a late bloomer you can try next time .We can have 15 minutes break before the awakening process of next batch " Grey said with a smile after which a soldier lead them to arena stand.
As soon as Eldryn walked towards the stand Nathan ran towards Eldryn and said with an excited voice " Eldryn,congratulations we can now train together, right we should go and stroll the awakening street, father gave me 5 gold coin we can go and check our luck on the awakening street "
The surrounding people looked at Nathan with jealous and envy as 5 gold coin was enough for the common for around 15 years .
As Eldryn was about to reply, his parents , uncle and aunt came to him with a smile on their faces.
"Congratulations Eldryn,now you can start training your star power, your mother will give you the cultivation technique tommorow and will guide you"
After that his mother, uncle, aunt and Amelia congratulated him, and they walked out of the arena towards the awakening street with Nathan and Eldryn walking front , as it is there first time in the awakening street, they are very eager to look.
As they reached the awakening street Jonathan said to Andrea" ok, you guys can take a stroll around the awakening street,Andrew and I am going to the office of Town chief you can take the children there " with that he turned to Eldryn and continued"right, you guys should come to the auction house around 5 in the evening we will be waiting there after the auction end we can celebrate your awakening "
"Ok, Dad" Eldryn nodded with a smile.
It's already near 1 pm in the afternoon,so Nathan, Eldryn, Andrea, Emily and Amelia had a lunch in a hotel at the entrance of the street before going through the stalls in the street.
As they walked around the street Eldryn couldn't help look at each stall as some stalls had a glowing herbs, enchanted crystals, artifacts, talisman,array disks,books ,some stalls even had items which looked like that can be picked from a street on your normal day like broken jars and some objects covered in mud.
Eldryn saw a stall where a old merchant is displaying some scroll, broken jars and lot of seeds and he walked towards the stall .
Seeing Eldryn walking towards him stall the merchant said with a warm smile "Ah ! Young one! , welcome , I have a fine collection of scrolls herbs and some seed you can feel free to browse them " .
Eldryn don't know anything about this seed but he can see star power around most of the seeds,and in his previous life he used to like growing flowers and vegetables ,So he decided to call his mother as he don't know anything about these seed.
"Mom ,come here ,I want buy the herb seed" Eldryn called his who is in the nearby stall with his aunt and cousins.
Seeing his mom Eldryn continued" Mom ,do you know what are these seeds used for,can we buy them. "
Andrea looked around the items in the stall before selecting 6 types of seed and selected a scroll about herb care .
"you can buy these six type of seeds and this scroll and you can also choose other things in the stall if you are interested in it "Andrea said with a smile.
Seeing Andrea picking the 6 types of the seed the merchant's smile vanished, because these six type of seeds are the genuine herb seeds but he still tried his best to make Eldryn buy them as this seed can be brought in herbal hall in the city for a very cheap price.
"Mom what are these herbs seed and rank it is " Eldryn decided to know it's uses before buying it.
And from Andrea he got to know the uses of the 6 types of seed and he bought 30 seeds from each type of seeds for 10 gold coins including the scroll, among these six seeds one is even of 8th rank, star flower seed which can be used to gather lot of star power .
The remaining seeds are of 9th rank which are used to gather star power of a particular elements, among which the Blaze petal seed will increase the fire star power around it and the stoneheart petal increase the earth star power and Similarly the titanium petal,aqua petal and oakheart petal which increases the metal, water and wood star power in the surrounding respectively.
He have decided to plant these seeds in there training are at the back side of a villa, as it will only take 6 months for the 9th rank seed to go from growth to blooming of the flowers.
