While standing next to the cadets, Nial felt like a giant, which caused him to subconsciously sigh.
There was no standard age at which one had to awaken their Origin. As such, there were toddlers that became Originals only a few months after being born as well as old people whose prime-age had already passed in waiting for their awakening.
Nevertheless, the vast majority would awaken their origin between the age of 8 to 10 years.
Thus, the cadets next to him were around 12 years old at the 3rd Origin stage.
With that in mind, Nial knew that they would act rather childish, even if they had been trained for a few years already.
Military school was a place for families that were not poor, but also not wealthy enough to enter one of the influential schools that had connections everywhere around the nine shelters.
