Chapter 3 Part Two: Carey Family
(From the MC’s POV)
My mother’s yelling irritates me considerably. I don’t even get to sleep for long periods of time. “Oh, my God. “What a world!” I muttered something beneath my breath. I rose from my bed, carefully massaging my scalp.
First and foremost, I’m going to stand in front of the mirror. It’s a daily ritual for me to look at my attractive face. In front of the mirror, I observed my appearance. Aside from my attractive looks, my physical strength is enough. But, like someone from the Mage Family, having this kind of strength isn’t enough.
My father gave me looks, unlike my older brother. Long black hair and dark eyes are the same. Most significantly, I have a good-looking face, fair skin, and am around six feet tall. The only difference is that I’m thinner than my father. I started thinking about today’s event after praising my appearance. Yes, today is the most significant day of my life. Second Session of Mage Awakening.
Everyone must have fundamental strength before awakening in order to withstand the pressure from the awakening platform. At the age of fifteen, I failed. During their first waking, the majority of people awaken their mage skill. People rarely have a second chance to awaken their gift. I didn’t awaken my mage talent at my initial awakening, either. I’ve been given a second opportunity. I’m hoping to activate my mage talent today.
I don’t recall having a baseline standard of body strength when I initially awoke. That, I suppose, is why I was unable to awaken the talent at the time. This time, though, such is not the case. I met the physical fitness requirements.
After giving myself a pep talk, I went to take a brief shower.
I walked out of the water a few minutes later, just as I was about to change my clothing.
[Ding- Alarm β 9 A.M!]
My ears reverberated with the sound of alarm. I set the alarm the night before and failed to turn it off when I awoke. I approached the small alarm clock and turned it off.
I began to prepare myself by shaking my head. There are no clothing codes in place for students. As do the majority of Mage Family students. Everyone believes in the concept of free will. As a result, I chose my favorite look. Grey is my personal favorite. I went for a grey sweatshirt from a new startup business, followed by black jeans. These two combos provided me with some relief.
I started combing my hair properly after I put on my clothing. Then I moved on to other sections, which included men’s lotions, body perfume, and scent. I’m not going to use any of them, I say, shaking my head. If it’s a regular day, I’ll probably attempt one of these. But today is a pivotal day in my life; it has the potential to alter my destiny. As a result, these topics do not pique my attention.
With a sigh, I proceeded to load my backpacks. For today’s session, I stuffed a couple books. Classes were generally cancelled for the waking ceremony. However, this is only during the first awakening ritual. Because the majority of the pupils awakened during the first event, half a day is sufficient for the second waking ceremony. Only a few individuals, including myself, dare to register a second time.
I took a deep breath and thought to myself, “I’m strong enough and won’t become frightened easily.” But, as the hour for awakening approaches, I was mistaken. My stomach hurts, and I’m not sure what it is. I couldn’t help but worry, despite the fact that I didn’t want to.
Why am I behaving in such a normal manner? I spoke slowly. Damn it, I’ve got mage blood in my veins.
I put on my wrist watch, which is also a tech gear, when I’ve sorted out my thoughts. I exited my room after finishing my task.
The smell of food struck my nose as I walked by the dining table. I came to a halt when I detected the aroma. “I’m already late, no way.” I’m sorry, but I don’t have time right now. “What should I do?” Slowly, I whispered.
Then my thoughts began to speed, and I came to an understanding. I snatched the food from the dining table and put it in the refrigerator. If Mom finds out, I’m sure she’ll chastise me. But I’ll take care of it later.
After that, I use the code to lock the room door. I left my house and walked to school. It’s only a short walk from here. We live in the capital of Red Water Province, thanks to Mom and Dad. In the main city, every facility is available.
To double-check the timetable, I used my wristwatch. I checked my student ID by logging in. πΌπ―πΉοΌππ
I received notification from my management as I checked it. I quickly clicked the page after seeing it.
[Student name: Vincent Carey
Class: B6
Second Awakening Schedule: 3:00 PM]
“What?” I was taken aback.
I knew the awakening would take place after 12 p.m. However, the timing is inexcusable. I’m not sure I can wait that long. My stomach is already causing me problems. I’m at a loss on what to do.
I was in a hurry to get to school because I was upset.
After a few moments,
[LITTLE STAR GATE HIGH SCHOOL]
I dashed towards my school’s gate after spotting it from afar. Many students were entering the school along the route, some walking alongside me. The school’s name may imply little, but there are more than 800 pupils in my grade that attend our school.
There are thirty pupils in Section B6 of my class, including myself. The class strength in each section is the same, and they were divided based on academic performance. From A1 to A6 and up to D1 to D6. The parents of the majority of the students in the D section were human. Both parents were humans, or the father was a mage and the mother was a human in some situations. As a result, they have a low level of talent.
People from Class D can occasionally awaken their magical power through good talent. They were placed in Class A right away. They can continue to study there till they graduate. They were led by far more knowledgeable personnel than Class D. As I recall, after she awakened Fire Mage with Middle level talent, a girl from D class was transferred to Class A.
When I thought about it, I couldn’t help but sigh. If I am unable to awaken my mage power by the use of good talent. It’s possible that I’ll be sent to Class D. Then I took a step forward to enter the gate after seeing the mass of students.
