Chapter 14: Elliot Awakening! (2/2)
”Can I go back to my seat?” Elliot asked after she put down her communication device.
”You can if you want to.” Instructor Nina said with a playful smile on her face.
Elliot turned around and walked back to sit down on his seat, immediately resting with eyes closed.
Instructor Nina, on the other hand, assessed the Magic Energy Capacity and Ability Affinity of the few examinees who still haven't been tested.

”What happened?” A man very old with a white beard hanging low on his chin asked, looking at the Head of the Academy, Gerald, with a questioning gaze.
He and Gerald were in the resting hall of the Academy Principal, a place found at the top of the Emerald Mountain, located just below the clouds and far above the ground.
The Academy Head, Gerald, wearing a set of tight-fitting white silk robes, looked at the aged face of the man sitting opposite to him with a warm smile.
”There's an unawakened magician who refused us from helping him awaken, Lord Hebrew.”
”Huh? Who is that fool?” Hebrew, wearing a set of loose grey robes with a black insignia stitched on them, said, somewhat losing his calm.
”A boy in his teenage called Elliot,” Gerald said, thinking that the only son of one of the best magicians of the Channel Opening realm is really a mystery.
”The name does ring a bell.” Hebrew scratched his chin, a deep look represented in his eyes.
”It does, doesn't it,” Gerald said playfully, knowing full well who Elliot was.
”Don't tell me it's Lilia's and Kayn's only son, Elliot Vincent?” Hebrew said with a shocked look in his eyes after a moment.
”You are right on the mark, old man,” Gerald said, confirming Hebrew's suspicions.
As Hebrew confirmed that Elliot was really the son of the two out of the many magicians that went missing in the Trial Ground of the Ancient and Mysterious Civilization, he couldn't help but feel even more shocked.
”It's good to know he is doing well,” Hebrew said, not many feelings are involved in his words.
”It's not just him. We have taken good care of every magician whose parents or guardians went missing or died in the trial ground of the Ancient Civilization of Xavier a few years ago.” Gerald said, proud of his Academy and the Magician community.

<Completed: 50/50>
Meanwhile, in the examination room, two notifications rang in Elliot's mind, signifying that he has somehow managed to disturb the peace of two more figures.
He didn't know who they were, but he was sure that these two people were Instructor Nina's superiors.
<You've completed the Trial ”Champion's Name Ring a Bell” within an hour>
<You've obtained 50 essences of life>
<Level 2: 50/100>
He now only needed 50 more essences of life to advance to the third stage of the magical realm evolutionary stage.
<You've obtained the ability ”God's Breath Manipulation”>
The moment this notification rang in Elliot's mind, the pretty eyes of Instructor Nina and the eyes of all the other examinees in the examination room widened like saucers with their jaws dropped to the ground as they looked at the holy and brilliant light shooting out of his body.
”Tell me this is my worst nightmare.” Cain felt so shocked looking at his high Magic school victim, releasing bursts of brilliant lights from his body that his mouth remained agape
”No, this is really happening. Elliot has entered the self-awakening evolutionary process out of nowhere to awaken an ability!” Rodriguez said, shocked out of his wits.
