Chapter 2: The National Awakening Institute

Ravi was now 12, and it was time for him to attend the National Awakening Institute. The institute was a prestigious school that trained children with extraordinary powers to harness their abilities and use them for the greater good. Ravi's parents were thrilled when they received the acceptance letter. They knew their son was special and hoped that the institute would help him realize his full potential. Ravi, on the other hand, was nervous but excited. He knew he was different from, Ravi's parents prepared him well for the National Awakening Institute. They told him stories about the school and its history, and about the children who became great heroes and leaders. They also taught him about the other kids in his neighborhood, and he was eager to find out more about his powers.

"Mom doesn't think she's putting too much stuff in," Ravi said to his mom.

A woman with a jovial appearance looked at the young man, that woman's name was Grace Rutherford.

Ravi," said Grace to her son, looking deeply into his eyes.

I know you worked a lot during that time, but at least let us help you a little, you always have that habit of growing up.

Ravi lowered his head, he really planned everything during that time, but he was very grateful for being reborn into such a good family.

A huge sound was heard, it was the institute's third-generation ship that came to pick up the students from the suburbs of the city, Ravi knew that he could only return if he was refused from the institute, yes, if the awakened talents were not of at least rank 1 he would be sent away, The degrees of power of skills are measured after awakening, in some cases when the child is born he can emit a light that corresponds with his power in the case of Ravi at the time of his birth a Black light energy, but the only people who knew about it were their parents, with a sudden stop the ship stopped in front of the institute.

The institute was located in the heart of the city, in a sprawling compound that felt like a small town. When Ravi walked through the gates, he couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder. The buildings were tall and imposing, and the students he saw were all dressed in smart uniforms.

Ravi quickly learned that the students at the institute were a diverse group with a wide range of powers and abilities. Some had his peers, and he was eager to learn more about their powers.

When Ravi arrived at the institute, he was greeted by other children like him, each with their own unique abilities. Some could control fire, others could manipulate water, and some had the power of telekinesis.

Ravi got off the bus and entered the institute's campus. The buildings were sleek and modern, and the air was charged with energy. Ravi felt a tingling in his fingertips, a sensation he had never experienced before.

As he made his way to the orientation room, Ravi couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder. The surrounding students were of different ages, but they all shared a certain glow, an aura of power that was palpable. Ravi knew he had found his place.

Attention all those who came to do the group test, the instructor soon came to call the participants.

Ravi stood in front of a large altar, waiting his turn.

The first person to walk down the aisle was a young, thin boy. He confidently approached and placed his hand on the glittering center of the altar. A beam of light shot out, and the instructor shouted, "Nathanael Riley, you can start absorbing the light."

Ravi watched as the boy's hand began to glow and a letter appeared in his palm. The card had a rank of one and the skill name on it. Ravi knew this was the moment he had been waiting for.

Ravi watched as Nathanael Riley walked away from the altar, holding his level one skill card. He couldn't help but feel a curiosity about the boy's powers.

As Nathanael passed by, Ravi called out to him. "Hey, can I see what your skill are?"

Nathanael smiled and held out the card. Ravi took it and examined it closely. The card had the image of a sword, and the name of the skill was "Blade of Light".

"Wow, that's really cool," said Ravi, handing the card back to Nathanael. "Have you used this before?"

Nathanael nodded. "Yes, I do. It's not very powerful, but it's useful in a pinch."

Ravi nodded, impressed. He wondered what his own skill would be, and if it would be as cool as Nathanael's.
