The Most Talented Batch of Students in the History of Valor Institute.

5 pillars of lights could be seen in the sky in beautiful and otherworldly glows. This scene should have caused awe and any good emotion you could think of but that wasn't it, not considering the contrasting screams of the cadets who were engulfed in these lights. They were Greg, Dilian, Belthrox, April and surprisingly, the fatty, Bradley. These were the cadets who were screaming and shaking on the floor akin to fishes who had been taken out of the sea.

Greg was covered in a beautiful green light, a blend of all green color tones you could think of. But that wasn't all. The symbol the light formed in the sky was a huge cosmic tree with beautiful fruits and large, thick roots and long branches which could cover the world. It shined in a divine and powerful glow that all could feel its power and the urge to bow down to it. In fact, the whole of the human world could see this phenomenon. They had already witnessed one earlier but that was normal for awakeners and especially, Naturae even if it was a bit intense but to have 5 after the first one and all happening in the same place from what they could see, it was too much. Just these simultaneous phenomena had caused almost all the powerhouses in the world to move. Clan leaders and family heads, elders, sect leaders all moved, contacting the higher ups of the institute in hopes of recruiting these talented individuals. The outcome will be for later.

Going to April, she was covered in a chilling blue light with white revolving around it. The symbol in the sky was that of a huge white wolf with chilly blue eyes that spoke of authority, pride and ruthlessness. The cold eyes of the wolf stared down at everyone causing them to shiver in fear. Even the powerful weren't spared as they all trembled in fear. It was like the symbol was telling them not to dare do whatever they were thinking.

Belthrox was engulfed in red, fiery light which radiated intense heat that all those around him had to move several meters away from him. In the sky, a symbol of great fiery bird, a phoenix with seven beautiful peacock tails in mesmerizing colors each with a hint of red in it, representing the seven holy flames flew. It cast its mesmerizing red eyes on everyone, filling them with a sense of fiery peace but the same time, divine authority radiated from it, forcing everyone to divert their eyes away from it and look down. No one was worthy to look at it except its beloved chosen who was crying and screaming on the ground instead of smiling in happiness.

Dilian was covered in a pale bluish silver light which resonated with all the sounds around him. He himself was vibrating faster than fast, like he would faze through the ground if no one stopped him. In the sky was a symbol of a scaly bat-like creature with six ears and cold dark blue eyes, just like Dilian's. Its wings were spread out covering several kilometers while its scales glowed in power. Everyone around Dilian moved away in fear as they could feel all kinds of sounds, ranging from noise to white sound, etc. and they were right in doing so, because they could have died. 

Last but not the least, Bradley was covered in what seemed like a combination of different colors, colors of his surroundings to be precise that he appeared to be invisible. If it wasn't for his screams and the glow of the light, no one would have seen him there. The symbol in the sky appeared as an indifferent being, a blend of a fox, peacock, chameleon and a butterfly. It was chimera type beast but instead of looking savage and ugly like a chimera, it was very beautiful and divine, especially with its ever-changing colors.

"Gods..." was what came in everyone's mind.

Amidst all this, a new symbol appeared in the sky. It was a blend of white, black, gold and violet. It was of a being without form. In fact, each person saw it as something different from the other but in all it appeared majestic and authoritative, its power overshadowing those of the other symbols that everyone was unconsciously drawn to it, but everyone failed to notice the person who was radiating this new light.

Since it all started, Kaiden hadn't been affected by any of the divine power of those projections. As a matter of fact, he felt like they were beneath him, which was very strange. Everyone had been frozen by their power, but he could move freely.

The projections lasted for 30 minutes straight, etching their imposing appearances into the minds and souls of all humans, the whole human race as a whole before they faded into existence, like they were never there. Those involved, fell unconscious while the rest sat on the grounds from a strange fatigue.

"This is how you feel when you meet a god for just a few minutes?" Sir Reindolf muttered in confusion. His eyes were hollow, and he seemed to have grown a couple of years older. Everyone felt just like him except for those involved as they were unconscious and Kaiden, the progenitor of the day's phenomena.

After another 30 minutes, everyone managed to stabilize a bit. The medics came for the unconscious cadets plus a couple of others who collapsed after the symbols vanished and strangely, Kaiden and Echo. Kaiden was a bit understandable as he had just awakened, and this happened. Sometimes, these things caused a bit of stability problems in the mage who just awakened. The only difference was that his body seemed to be glowing, from hair to feet. Echo though seemed to have developed a strange fever. It wasn't life-threatening when they diagnosed him, but it was very strange as his skin felt like hot coal that they had to keep him a cooler-pod.

...

2 hours after everything had stabilized in the institute...

"This phenomenon is very strange, headmaster."

"I know. The emperor and the 5 great families are already in an emergency meeting to find a way to comfort the human race. We've been tasked with protecting those involved from recruitments from sects and clans and also assassinations."

"Fortunately, all those involved have quite the backgrounds. Even the commoners among them could be said to be under the strongest family currently, so we just need to send letters to these clans and sects. That should scare them away."

"In fact, that isn't what is important now. I'm sure you all have an idea of what those symbols were?"

"Gods..."

"Yes. It seems that the so-called prophecy is true, and these kids could be very much involved, especially the Arkonius kid, the first ever human dual elementalist and also with two opposing elements."

"Even without that, this batch could be said to be the most talented batch of students in the institute and even the world as a whole. Their combat strength is already above average, and their talents should be also above average. I'm sure we will be getting a lot of S ranks after the awakening ceremony tomorrow."

"Very true!"

"I can't wait to see their prowess."

"Even the gods are making moves. Something interesting and universe changing is bound to happen."

"We are only spectators in this."

"Liam!"

"Yes master."

"You are in charge of the 1st years. Lola, Reindolf and Victor will assist you. I want you to do what you do best and also, you are free to go establish your dream squad."

"Thank you master."

"Good. If there isn't anything else, then the meeting is adjourned."

"Yes Sir!"
