Chapitre 7: The Awakening Ceremony [2]
[Name: Zack Varlen Glade]
[Class: Berserker]
[Talent: 5-Star]
[Passive Ability: Anti-Debuff]
Many looked at each other with disbelief, while the higher families nodded with widened eyes. They expected this from an influential family like the Glade's, and to see that their son had gotten a 5-star talent was surprising but expected.
"That's my son!" Benjamin roared as his eyes landed on the Glade's Berserker Class and the 5-Star talent. Close to no one gets higher than 5 stars in their awakening, and even though it is unlikely, talent could change after every commandment whether it would be for the best or for the worst.
Many family heads tried to look at Zack's information, but all they got was a series of question marks followed by the information they already knew.
They glared at the roaring man, yet all he did was look back at them with a mocking smile, showing that he already knew what they would do.
Coming back to his seat, Zack looked at Lloyd, shaking in his seat. The stress was finally getting to him, and he was beginning to feel dizzy. "H-Hey! Lloyd! Are you alright bro?" Zack asked, the worry replacing the smug smile on his face.
Benjamin finally sat down and looked at his son again with pride in his eyes, yet his expression turned grim after he saw the worried expression on his son's face. However, before he could alert Lloyd's parents, Benjamin's expression returned back to normal while his mind raced for a few moments.
Back in the audience, Lloyd stood up and walked out of his seating area and towards the stadium. At a certain point, his mind had become eerily calm.
Many of the people in the line moved forward, and one after the other, they all touched the podium and left with sullen expressions.
After a few minutes, it was finally Lloyd's turn, and he could already feel countless gazes on him, one filled with worry and others with scrutiny.
Taking one last glance at his family, he smiled warmly and took a stand in front of the podium. His hand hovered above the blue crystal, and his mind became as calm as ever while taking several breaths in.
This was it.
He felt his world begin to collapse, yet he still could not bring the courage to put his hand on the podium.
"Any day now?" The announcer tried to crack a joke to lighten the mood, yet despite others laughing, Lloyd didn't.
Lloyd finally opened his eyes and locked them with Zack's before looking at his mother.
...
...
...
[Ding!]
[Lloyd Elrod has already awakened]
Many shocked gasps echoed in the hall while all the family heads raised a brow.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes and looked at the Elrod family, but after seeing that, they were shocked beyond belief, he understood that they also didn't know. However, when looking into Lloyd's eyes, he knew something that the rest did not.
"Lloyd knew... But he's waiting for something..." Benjamin explained.
"What do you mean, he knew?" Olivia asked, but she did not gain an answer straight away since Benjamin was tapping away at the interface next to him.
[Name: Lloyd Elrod]
[Class: Shadow Assassin]
[Talent: 2-Star]
[Passive Ability: Night Vision - Shadow Sustenance - Soundless Steps]
Everyone looked at the screen blankly with two words echoing in their minds.
'Three passives...'
None of them could speak.
Every one of them was shocked beyond belief.
While it wasn't unlikely for someone to have more than three abilities, having three passive abilities was an entirely different level of rare.
Less than 1 in a million would get 2 passive abilities, while less than 1 in half a billion gained 3... So how were they supposed to react when something so unexpected occurs before their very eyes?
On the other hand, the higher families had begun to check Lloyd's information, yet when they stumbled upon it-
[Access denied]
"What is the meaning of this!" The Quinn family head roared out while walking up to Glade, yet before he could even touch him-
*Thud*
The man's head slammed to the floor while his arm was put at an uncomfortable angle that made him whimper in pain.
Rubert above him with closed eyes while his right foot rested atop the head of the Quinn family's leader.
"I suggest you check your tone of voice before speaking to master glade..." Rubert's voice boomed out in the luxurious booth and made everyone except the family leaders shudder under his cold voice.
The Glade family ignored the man and quickly shuffled together to see Lloyd's abilities. Eventually, they looked at a holographic screen that told them everything about Lloyd.
"F-Fou-" Olivia's mouth got covered by Noah's.
"Why is his talent evaluation only 2-Stars though?" One of the Glade children asked, making everyone in the booth raise a brow.
"It means that his cultivation talent is lacking, but I guess that is something we should have expected.
Lloyd had already closed his eyes on the stadium, yet they flung open when he felt a weak vibration from his wrist.
He gulped and opened the file, yet when he saw it, he could not help but feel like his heart was about to explode.
'I'M NOT GOING TO DIE!' He inwardly screamed with happiness as the results shone on the blue screen that had been designed in a way where only his retina could see it. However, before he could continue celebrating, the screen flickered, purple runic patterns appeared all over the watch, and a few changes could be seen.
