" the other one is a boy who is a fled away slave " as the voice came everyone's attention shifted toward the students who had spoken.

" wow, did you know about this boy bro," Kevin asked he had never heard about this boy listening to his query Vikram then says " yes, I heard from uncle jones almost six months ago he did say that the town chief had adopted him and from then on he is leaving with him ".

" yeah, I had also heard about him from my parents but I thought it to be some rumors as to why would the village chief will take all those problems of adopting a fled away slave but now after knowing that he had a chance to awake a very rare element it's also them make sense," Mohit said.

As the students were discussing among themselves they suddenly look at the two figures that had entered the hall. one is a girl with red hair and had worn a fancy dress as everyone knows who she is and behind her is the young boy who had brown skin with long silver hair which is itself a unique thing.

Everyone became silent as they start looking at them the girl became irritated by the constant glances from them and the boy remain calm as he didn't give any reaction. The red-haired girl then shouted at the people " what didn't see a girl in your entire life "

Some students turn their attention from them in embarrassment and some glare at her and then turn their attention to her then goes and stand in line as there is a strict rule that no matter what the rules will be the same for everyone The boy to stand behind her while maintaining some distance.

" talk about being rude, who does she think she is, " Vikram says as he to then turns his attention from them towards Kevin who is standing in front of him

As he turns he sees him looking towards the girl. Vikram shake his shoulder but he didn't feel anything then vikram facepalmed and pinch him to bring him back to reality.

"ouch, what? Why the hell do you do things pinching things " Kevin says in low voice to Vikram. " because you have a habit of wondering in your fantasies and before you develop any more fantasies let me tell you one more time she is out of your league bro so don't even go for it. I can tell she is not good for you " vikram said but Kevin ignore him while saying " hmmph, what kind of bro are you instead of motivating me you are demotivating me ".

" I am not demotivating you just telling you a reality," Vikram says as he knows that he had a crush on that girl from their school days as that girl used to study with them in their school but after the revelation of her having a chance to evoke space elements she is transferred to a better school.

Now that one needs to register themselves and evoke the elements from their home center make she come to this small town. Kevin listening to his talk mutter something under his breath " yeas, previously it was impossible but now that " he then rubs the little ash head who is sleeping under his jacket " I have ash, it will be possible".

As this little drama is going on here the representative of different guilds including the four great universities looks at the red girl and the boy to study them. After a few minutes when the last student enters the door gets closed and then the center's administrative came and says " welcome, students I hope that you all accept what the future has held for you without sadness Also, don't be upset if you didn't get the elements of your choice. ".

As the person said this an enchanted circle appeared on the stage in the center of the room. After that one by one student starts standing inside the circle and then after standing they drop little blood on the circle which makes the circle light up. The color of the circle represents the elements of the students red represents fire, blue represents water, brown represents earth, white represents air, and pink represents the ether this is known as pure elemental powers.

There are also non-elemental powers which are Golden represented the light, black represents the dark also green represents the poison, silver represented time, and grey represented space.

The last category of person who gets mixed colors represents that the person can only use the ability provided by the astras and can not have their power to use. They can use any astras ability and are not restricted to a particular type of astras but this person can only use low levels of skills and abilities of those astras so basically, these kinds of people are normal people with no hope of becoming strong.

As students awaken their elements the resprenstatives to start selecting the best candidate according to them their university as every student after awakening wished to be selected by this university because it saves time for them to compete with millions of candidates to enter into this universities.

So they give various benefits which are very costly for poor and middle-income groups to get with their money. As the process goes on vikram and the group waited for their turn and finally, half an hour later Kevin's turn came. " finally my turn wish me luck " he said to Vikram, and after wishing luck to each other in their way he proceeds towards the stage.

As he came and stand in the middle of the circle he thinks " yes, the moment has come which can turn my and my family's lives. Also, I can then come one step closer to finding you guys, and then I will take my revenge for throwing me on the street to rot " with that he drop his blood on the circle.

As the blood fell on the circle a different kind of energy ran through his body the energy also sense the little ash that opens his eyes after detecting unknown energy in his friend's body but found it to be harmless He let it go and then sleep back again.

Kevin felt a little dizzy by it but after a few seconds, he became normal and then wait for the circle to glow after a few seconds the circle didn't emit any color which shocks everyone including the representative of the four great universities.

As a few minutes went by but still, no light emitted from the circle the administrator then says to Kevin to drop his blood one more time as there might be some malfunction which generally didn't happen but to give all the benefits of the doubt he said to perform the ceremony one more time.

Kevin shivering drop his blood one more time from his fingertip as he couldn't be able to digest the fact that he is a normal person with no power at all and that he is an 'astraless'. The astarless are the people who have no ability at all they can't even use or touch any astras let alone use the skill of those They are the people who are treated as low as possible.
