Chapter 4 (2/2)
(NOT!!)
.........
Time was the one to fly quickly as everyone awakened their seeds. There were a few Unique seeds and dozens of noble seeds. It was still favorable as there were no peasant seeds yet.
Gabriel leisurely stood up from his seat as the teacher called out his name respectfully.
Gabriel was smirking when he strolled towards the circle.
His green hair fluttered behind him as he smugly got on top of the podium while girls all around him blushed at him. Being the King's son had its windfall.
Just like others, yet contrarily, Gabriel placed his hands on the globe after wiping it with his gold foiled handkerchief. He grimaced at it as he mumbled
”Eww, why do I have to touch the same globe which the extras used?”
Just like previously, the whole podium began rattling when the king's son placed his hand on the globe. The audience was soon welcomed by the same colors as they flickered before their eyes.
The ground under the auditorium shook with a tremor that could have presumably demolish a weak building.
The colors died out in a few nervous breaths. When the tremor finally died, everyone blinked their eyes and rubbed them. It wasn't just Miss Sylvie's, but everyone else's eyes were likewise jutting out of their sockets as they ogled at the blue color which twinkled brightly on the globe.
The people attending the test and inside the auditorium along with some of the Top Mages gasped.
”It's a...Mon... Monarch Seed”
Miss Sylvie dropped to her knees as a festival of expression flashed on her face.
”A MONARCH SEED ???????!!!, Yes Sir! He is My student and I am his Homeroom Teacher”
Miss Sylvie arose with a jolt and saluted the mages who rushed to her side.
All 7 of them, except Mage Earth. She was oddly staring at the two boys in front of her who were on the other side of the lofted platform.
She was staring at Marcus And Dave. But the duo didn't notice her. They were angry at someone, at someone who was sneering at them.
Gabriel was grinning at Marcus and Dave. His eyes carried ego and pride. His eyes quickly shifted towards his new girlfriend, Alisha who had awakened a Unique seed. She blushed at him and bowed her head down with a smile.
The events unfolding themselves before him made Marcus even more enraged than before. The redhead was about to stand up and scream but was thwarted when Miss Sylvie announced the following Roll Number.
”Roll No: 59 Dave Vagner!!”
”Fuck!! It's My turn now”
Dave, who was gripping Marcus back to his seat, bolted up and slapped his friend.
”It's my turn Brooooo!!”
He slapped Marcus again.
”Wish me luck”
Dave lifted his hands to slap him again but Marcus who was out of his trance was the faster one this time.
SMACK
”All the Best Bruv”
”He-He”
Dave giggled sarcastically as he held his red cheek while he waddled towards the stage.
”Make it quick, I have other things to do”
Miss Sylvie snarled at Dave, it was as if she considered him to be an Insect.
It should be obvious because she now had a Monarch Seed awakener in her class.
That was rare in the first place but it was more like expected from Gabriel. Moreover, she didn't rather expect anything from Dave who was the progeny of a peasant couple.
”Just place your hands on the globe and just get lost”
Gabriel implied as he walked down the stage to his seat.
He shoved his shoulder against Dave who was making his way up, Gabriel tried to throw him off balance and he succeeded as Dave's feet gave away when they found nothing to step on.
With a thud, Dave fell on his stomach. All of them broke into laughter as they saw the yellow-haired boy tumble to the ground.
Except for Marcus, He was fuming with rage.
But Dave gave no ears to their laughs. He slowly stood his ground and started ascending the stairs again.
He was smiling, ignoring all the laughs and giggles which surrounded him. He wasn't, at all, reacting to any of them.
In his mind, He was thinking about how his parents would react if he at least awakened a Unique Seed.
”They would be proud!! Yeah, and Marcus would go mad as well... Hehe”
Dave veered around to look at his friend who was sitting at the very last seat in the auditorium. Dave's mood abruptly improved as he saw Marcus strut and fist the air, all while chanting his name.
It made him happy that at least his friend was there to support him.
The circle glinted white as Dave shuffled inside it. He placed his palms on the globe, entrusting everything he had into the sphere of glass.
Closing his eyes, Dave recalled the memories he cherished the most.
They were all just a hodgepodge of his time with his parents on the farm and the time with his best friend Marcus.
The podium appeared to ripple more than it usually did. It was far stronger than the tremor which gathered when Gabriel awakened his seed. The multiple flashes of light were more vibrant than before that they blinded the audience.
Except for the Mages, they were gaping at him in awe.
The auditorium trembled and the air picked up the pace. The gusts of wind were so vigorous that they blew dust into the auditorium.
*COUGH*
*COUGH*
”What Happened?”
Marcus inquired to himself as he waved his hands frantically at the dust which engulfed him. Even though he wore glasses, the vigorous wind deposited ample amounts of dust into his quivering eyes.
The Mages were quick to react. They used their wind spells to disperse off the dust inundating the whole auditorium.
Everyone agreed that 'The Top Mages' deserved their names as they witnessed their magical powers. Their abilities were so polished that they omitted the dust and tidied the stage in a matter of seconds.
But something was off. Hundreds of gasps caught his ears as Marcus wiped the dust from his eyes.
Marcus heard shrill noises and gasps as he blinked his eyes through the glasses to regain his sight.
He looked at Miss Sylvia who was, yet again on her knees for some reason. She was starting at the podium, her eyes were widened.
He noticed her gaze and followed them to his friend, who was, oddly, frightened of something before his hands.
Marcus removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes frantically, trying to clear off the dust. Even though he knew it was bad to rub his eyes, he didn't stop. He wanted to know the origin of the gasps and suppressed shrills.
When he finally confirmed his eyes were clear enough to see through, he put back his glasses on.
He started at Dave, who was trembling for some reason.
Marcus's eyes finally adjusted to gape at the light which was shining brightly on the globe.
It was Orange.
Just like his fellow audience, Marcus immediately found his eyes widened at his friend. Even when he tried to hold it back, the words he desperately wanted to scream, scrambled out of his mouth.
”Lege.....”

”LEGENDARY SEED!!!???!!!”
