January 30th, YEAR 5022. 7:30 AM
It was a popular day, a world-renowned day, a day more important than the independence of the country and the meeting of leaders of each continent.
This day is the Awakening Ceremony. Every year, on January 30th, children all over the world that had clocked twelve years would undergo an awakening of their talent.
Southern Continent, Sunset City.
In a certain place in the city, almost taking half of the city, a large building, not as tall as a skyscraper, but it looked like a research center.
VROOM! VROOM!
The sound of the car engine resounded; a red Ferrari headed towards the location, stopping at the gate of the place.
It wasn't only it; numerous cars were also passing, and some people were even walking, heading towards this building.
In the Ferrari red car, Matt looked through the window, seeing numerous families and their children heading towards the building.
The building is known as the Awakening Center, where the awakening of talent takes place, and all families whose kids had clocked twelve years headed to this place.
Including cities close to Sunset City that don't have the awakening center.
Security was tight; Matt could feel immense danger from the security guards at the gate. After confirming their identity through the identification card, they were allowed into the gates.
Matt, Mia, and Eira looked at the center after parking the car. Their heart was in disarray, stupefied by the magnificent building before them.
Drones flew like flies around it, a robot could be seen every few minutes, and the building was built with special glass.
"Let's go," Uncle Ben said, and the family headed towards the entrance of the building.
When they got there, they saw the large crowd, over hundreds of families, here for the awakening ceremony.
They stood in one place, looking around, but with boredom, Matt brought out his phone, researching more about the awakening ceremony.
More families arrived, and the crowd increased more and more.Meanwhile, inside the building, a group of four people dressed in a unique black top with a logo that looks like a sword, and the same with the trousers that had stripes of swords.
A brown-haired young man with brown eyes, his figure was burly, with his muscles stretching out.
A green-haired young woman with green eyes, her figure was moderate, with moderate assets, not too big nor small.
A black-haired young man, with black eyes, wore glasses; he was reading a book held in his right hand.
A golden-haired young man, with golden eyes, both having tips of red, looking like flames. He wore a black blindfold, making him look unique.
"I wonder why they will send us to such a city," the green-haired young woman complained, crossing her hands together as she was annoyed.
As the lady said this, their eyes fell on the golden-haired young man with the blindfold, who raised his hands in defense. "Why are you all looking at me like that? It's not my fault."
"Humph, we all know that it's your fault," the brown-haired, burly young man snorted.
"Why the hell would you go fight devils without your blindfold on? Now you burned numerous buildings. Thank God no humans were killed by it," the black-haired young man raised his head, adjusting his glasses as he said.
When the black-haired young man said this, the other two nodded, looking at him with annoyance.
The golden-haired young man shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "Who told them to call so late at night, complaining that it was urgent? I just got there to waste my time. Such a weak creature, those old folks were shouting at the top of their lungs" He pouted.
The others shook their heads; they had forgotten that the person here was a battle-hungry person.
"Whatever, the deed has been done already, so how do we go about this?" the brown-haired young man asked.
"I don't think we need to appear; let the people here just take care of it. If only there's danger or special awakeners, those who awaken S and SS Talents, we will appear. What do you all think?" The black-haired young man raised his eyebrows.
All of them nodded that it was okay and feasible; they found no problem with it.
10:00 AM
A bell rang in the entire awakening center; the time for the awakening ceremony to proceed had arrived.
A group of people appeared from the awakening center building; all eyes were on them.
A rough man in his thirties stood forward among them. "You are all welcome to this year's awakening ceremony…"
His voice reached every corner of the crowd, everybody hearing audibly. This left a good impression on the crowd, shocked by the ability to do so.
"…. we are the instructors responsible for guiding the children in their awakening. With no further wasting of time, all children who had reached twelve years should come forward," The rough man continued.
"Good luck, big brother. Good luck, sister Eira," Mia cheered them on.
"We are waiting for you, so go without worries and awaken your talent," Uncle Ben said, encouraging both of them.
Both Matt and Eira nodded; Aunt Sylvia also encouraged them.
This scene occurred in almost all families, encouraging their children as they went to awaken their talent.
Children that had clocked twelve years all stepped forward, their eyes on the instructors before them.
"All families should please proceed backwards; some group of people will lead you to where you should wait until the awakening ceremony finishes," the rough man said after all the children had stepped out.
As he said, some people led them into a certain part of the awakening center, where they would wait for their children until the awakening ceremony finished.
After this, he turned to the children before him. "Let's go inside," he said, entering the building, the children in order, entering the building after him.
Matt and Eira walked side by side, holding each other's hands so that they wouldn't separate.
As Matt stepped into the building, his expression was determined. Today was the day that would set his path.
