Chapter 138 Awakening.
She noticed them, but she doesn't plan to approach them, it was best they didn't even notice her now. She was anxious if she'll get to awaken an ability or not. She was happy to see them, but she doesn't feel like approaching them.
Maybe after the awakening, they'll converse later. She and her father began walking toward the queue while the rest of her family moved aside.
..And now, the awakening had already begun, kids were moving into the temple to awaken their abilities.
As known, they wouldn't just stroll into the temple to awaken. A certain elder would ask the kids and their parents certain questions before a kid walk into the temple to awaken.
And what was the current situation? Many kids were awakening a power element, they had the mana core in them, and some kids weren't awakening a single ability.
The number of kids awakening an affinity was higher than the ones that didn't get to awaken a single ability. And different expressions were on the faces of the kids coming out of the temple.
Some had gloomy expressions on their faces, while some had excited expressions on their faces. The ones that had excited expressions on their faces were the ones that awakened an ability, and those were also the expressions on the faces of their parents as they were walking out of the temple.
They were just glad that their kids got to awaken an affinity. The ones with gloomy expressions on their faces were the ones that didn't get to awaken a single ability, and those were the same expressions on their parents' faces as they were walking out of the temple.
..They were somehow disappointed.
And you know what? There were some talented kids, they got to awaken two power elements. Their parents were so proud, they were f**king happy.
Now, the kids in the queue that hadn't awakened yet were so anxious, and their parents were included. Some were so anxious, and some were slightly anxious.
At this point, Ava could feel her heartbeat a little, she fell into one category, she was so anxious. Oliver was slightly anxious, his heart wasn't beating too much, but he was anxious.
..But as for Aiden, not even a single opt of anxiousness...absolutely nothing.
As said, some officials were also present at the compound with their knights. The ones whose kids were to partake in the awakening as well. All the officials were standing aside with their guards, it was their wives that were with their kids in the queue.
But Ethan's case was different, he was an official, but he was with his kid in the queue, while his wife was standing aside with his other family members. And he didn't even bring along any knights...
..Ethan was always different.
Now, there was a certain official whose daughter had just stepped into the temple to awaken. He was an average-ranked noble, and the moment his daughter walked into the temple, he became so anxious.
Now, many people in the queue knew that the daughter of an official had just stepped into the temple to awaken...many of them were aware of her father. Now, once the child of an official doesn't awaken a single power element, the official and the child would definitely suffer from it for some time.
So the moment his daughter walked into the temple, he became so anxious. And he immediately stood at a spot where he'd be able to see his daughter. He wanted to see if she had the mana core in her, if she'd get to awaken an ability.
..And do you know what happened? Disappointment...she didn't awaken a single affinity.
Disappointment hit the man including his wife, and a bit of gloomy expression appeared on their faces at that moment. And the same expression was on their daughter's face as well. And the moment she reached where her mum was standing, they walked out of the queue together.
Seeing this, Ethan became more anxious. He knew the man whose daughter just walked out of the temple, they were both average-ranked officials, and his daughter didn't get to awaken a single affinity.
Both of them would definitely suffer from it. Ethan needed Aiden to awaken a power element, even if it was only one...he was so anxious. Kids kept on walking into the temple, and many were awakening a power element, while some didn't.
Now, Aiden watched as a certain student in his classroom walked into the temple to awaken...it was male. Now, this was the first student in his classroom that was walking into the temple to awaken.
Once it comes to students in his classroom, more than one of them was in the queue, but this was the first one that was strolling into the temple to awaken. Now, Aiden stood there wanting to see if he'd awaken an ability or not.
He walked into the temple, sat on the chair, and awakened the earth power element. The first kid from his classroom to walk into the temple awakened an affinity, he had the mana core in him. A current A-rank bender and an upcoming F-rank bender.
The boy walked out of the temple with an elated expression on his face, and that was also the expression on his parents' faces. Other kids from Aiden's classroom saw this, and they kept on wishing they'd get to awaken an ability just like the boy.
That was also the same case for Oliver and Ava, they kept wishing they'd get to awaken an ability just like their classmate...that increased their anxieties somehow.
Kids kept walking into the temple to awaken, and as usual, the same thing was taking place. Some more kids from Aiden's classroom had walked into the temple to awaken. And some awakened a power element and some didn't.
Now, the number of students that awakened was more than the ones that didn't awaken a single ability. Disappointments and happiness filled the air, the atmosphere was filled with different emotions...
..And now, it was about time for Aiden to awaken.
