Chapitre 2: Chapter 2 Awakening Test
After getting down, Asher greeted his two childhood friends, " Good morning beauties," he bellowed with a smile.
Sitting at the table, a girl rested her head on her arms at the table, her long, silky black hair cascading over her shoulders and partially obscuring her delicate features.
Her large, vibrant blue eyes peeked out beneath her bangs as she glanced up lazily.
"Why do you look so happy, so early in the morning, Asher?" she mumbled.
She wore a crisp white blouse tucked neatly into a navy pleated skirt cinched with a black belt at the waist. A small blue ribbon tied in her hair added a charming touch to her otherwise serene appearance.
When asked, Asher straightened his back. "Don't you know what day it is today? It's the awakening day," he said, clutching the chair and looking at her.
The age of 18 is important because it is when most people have their Awakening. Some people, however, awaken earlier than 18.
These early awakeners are often seen as very gifted or talented.
Not all talent comes from early Awakening. Sometimes, people who awaken at 18 show just as much talent as those who awaken earlier.
These cases are uncommon but remind us that talent can appear at any time, no matter when someone awakens. Awakening occurs.
"Ohh," she replied, not excited at all.
Asher furrowed his brows as he sat in the chair, resting his head on the table. They locked their gazes.
"Why are you not excited, Lilia?" he asked, feeling confused since everyone would get excited for this day.
The girl's name is Lilia Aveline. Hearing this, she felt amused. "Did you forget? I'm only 17, and I'm not eligible yet. I think you need to calm down and think about it," she replied with a smile, showing her white teeth.
Dawning in this realization, he could not but smack his head a little, "Haha, I totally forgot about it." Asher laughed as he sat straight when she saw another girl wearing an apron carrying a hot pot.
She was just done with his cooking, the woman carried a steaming hot pot in her hands, her radiant smile lighting up the room.
She had short, chestnut-brown hair that framed her soft, heart-shaped face, with bright, expressive eyes that reflected her cheerful nature.
She was wearing a charming apron tied snugly over her outfit, which was just a simple wait dress. This woman is the big sister of Lilia, named Amara Aveline.
Jeff, looking at her smile, was of course, in a bright mood. He took some plates and began to prepare.
This childhood friend had already started his awakening. Unfortunately, she had no talent, but that did not destroy her, as she had the remaining money left when selling the house.
She opened a small shop to sell some potions, but only some low-tier potions around tier 1 and 2. Above that, the potion is already expensive.
A low-grade energy restoration costs about 10,000 pesos for a tier 1 potion. If it's middle grade, it would be 30,000 pesos, and if it's high-grade, it would be around 50,000 pesos.
So, just buying one low-grade tier 2 potion will cost about 100,000 pesos. As the grade increases, the pricier it gets.
But even though it's just a small shop, at least they can eat and live well because of this.
For the tier 3, it already cost millions, so you can see how expensive it is. As Amara opened the pot, the scent wafted in the air.
"Amara is truly a talented cook. You'll make a wonderful wife someday," he bellowed, lifting a bowl of broth and chicken soup as he began to eat.
Amara, hearing his compliment, was embarrassed like a little girl. Lilia, who was on the side, looked at him.
"Shameless," she exclaimed with a disgusted expression as she dug in from hers.
"Well Slurp I'm not Slurp lying.." He replied as he continued drinking the broth filled with smiles.
"Yeah, yeah. If you want to marry my big sister, I'll support you," Lilia muttered, eating her portion.
Asher, hearing this, grinned, "Don't forget what you said," he responded to her words.
Amara, her face beet red and smoke emanating from her ears, angrily exclaimed, "I'm not just a bargain here, but if you really want to make me your wife, I..." Her tone became more intense as the seconds passed.
Her face was red, and she stopped finishing her words, covering her red face. "Ahhh, why am I about to agree?" she scolded herself.
"Done," Asher said slamming the bowl from the table, but not literally putting force to break it.
"I'll be going now, or I'll be late for the examination," he said excitedly to the two.
Picking up his bag on the other table, he then left the house.
"I hope it goes well for him," Amara uttered in a low voice.
Lilia, hearing her worries, just smiled and teased, "Heh, big sister is actually worried. So, do you really plan to marry Asher?" she asked with a smug face.
Amara panicked as she denied, "Marry... marry who, you naughty little sister! Just finish your food, hmph." She snorted as she left the kitchen.
Seeing her walk out, she continued her meal. When she was done, she cleaned the table and arranged the seats. Since her classes were still not starting, she decided to watch some TV.
A young man was jogging on the sidewalk to school. After crossing several streets, he arrived in 10 minutes, which would take about 20 minutes by walking.
Arriving at the school gate, he got inside and went into his classroom.
Climbing the second floor, he walked through the hallway with many students in the same year as him.
He was in the 12th grade when he finally arrived at the door with a sign: '12-St. Luke. ' Getting inside, he saw his classmates were having the talk of their lives.
Walking to his seat in the back, he sat down and placed his bag on the wall since he was close to the window.
"Hey Asher, today is the day you can finally see if you are awakened," a round-faced man said, feeling thrilled.
Seeing his delighted expression, he showed a slight smile and scoffed. "Why are you excited than me, fatty? Didn't you awaken at 15 years old,"
"Aiyah, I'm excited for you my brother. When you finally awaken, we can become Rift Slayers, fulfilling our dreams when we were young," he responded, not hiding anything.
Asher could not help but soften his eyes; this fatty, his best friend for five years, was really like a brother to him now.
Don't let his chubby appearance mislead you, into thinking he's weak.
This best friend of his is very strong. He can even kick a tough metal door with a punch and bend metal by squeezing it.
He is one of the three geniuses in this school. Not only is he rich, but his family was known to have an awakener at the 6th order.
With that strong background, he wondered why he attended this school.
There are lots of schools for the rich and geniuses, but he chose this one. When Fatty explained that he just felt like it, he did not ask anymore.
He was about to open his mouth when the door swung open, and a man with glasses and a teacher's suit entered.
All of them then took a seat as their homeroom teacher stood on the slightly elevated platform, glancing at his students with a happy expression.
Since this is a time to serve humanity, "I believe you already know what day it is today?" he said, looking at their excited faces.
He continued, "It's time for the awakening test. Even if you don't pass, there are still other professions available that focus on helping humanity. So, don't be disheartened if that happens," he announced as everyone nodded in agreement.
Seeing that they were all waiting for it to start, the teacher then looked at the door. A man with a business suit entered the classroom.
He was big and muscular. Another problem is that he was black, but that's not the point here.
He was carrying a suitcase in his hand as he stood at the center, close to the homeroom teacher.
