Awakening Ceremony (3) -Hegemon Dragon Zenn

"You okay, kid?"

Ezra stood stupefied as he stared at the familiar and at the same time unfamiliar man stand in front of him.

"Uncle Zenn?" Ezra asked causing the man to chuckle as his scratched the back of his head, his intimidating aura dissipated in a flash as he turned into a doting uncle.

"Yes, it's me... Sorry you're finding out like this" Uncle Zenn said with a wry smile.

The principal stood up from his chair as he stared wide eyed at the man who was standing in front of Ezra, "it's not him, right?"

"There's no denying it, it's him" Elanne said as she stared at Uncle Zenn and her heartbeat refused to calm down.

"Hegemon Dragon?" Zephyr said as he stood up from the rubble before he hissed in pain as his body made some cracking sounds as his broken bones restructured back.

Barnes was already standing as lightning crackled around his body violently, his eyes had turned deep yellow so also the lightning around him.

"Hegemon Dragon, so you didn't die.... Have always wanted to have a fight, you were the second strongest amongst the human weavers... Give me a worthy battle!" Barnes flashed towards Zenn whose back was facing him as he talked with Ezra.

"Barnes, wait..." Zephyr managed to say but Barnes had arrived in behind Zenn.

"What a pest, you are no different from your father!" Zenn said as sent his fist behind him, a golden fist appeared and punched towards Barnes whose eyes widened.

"Fvck, I forgot how brutal he always was" Barnes cursed as the first slammed into him, his eyes widened more as he felt his internal organs almost spilling out of his mouth. There was a sonic boom, then Barnes crashed into the wall.

Zephyr erected a forcefield around himself blocking the debris that flew towards his side as he sighed, he looked towards Zenn and his eyes widened, a huge golden palm appeared and it moved towards Barnes.

Zephyr heard Zenn say in irritation, "stay down!" then the palm slammed into the wall. Few minutes later, a passed out Barnes was in view, his pupils had rolled back into his head.

"Old man, Little fox, little wind and little ice, who amongst you wants to kill my nephew?" Zenn said as he looked towards the stands and towards Zephyr who stood there with a wry smile. The principal and the two women flew out of the stands and landed just some meters in front of Zenn, Zephyr walked up and joined them.

"We were just following the tradition, every human awakening the black level deviant talent, must be killed..." The fox woman said coquettishly as she stared blatantly at Zenn.

Zenn ignored her and looked towards Elanne who blushed as she fidgeted as she played with her fingers, her ice cold facade had already been broken.

"Little wind, what do you say?"

"Uhm... Since you.. you are here... We believe he can't become what we believed he would become" Elanne managed to say. The fox woman pouted as she was ignored.

Ezra who was watching the exchange, sighed in overwhelm as he was surprised the turn of events, he just escaped dying. As soon as he turned around, he was slammed into, but he managed to steady himself, he looked at the red head who had slammed into him and hugged him tightly. Ezra smiled wryly.

"I.. I thought you were going to die" Ruby choked as she stared up at Ezra who could see the tears in her eyes and the snot on her nose.

"Oi...must there always be snot when you cry?" Ezra chuckled and Ruby's eyes blanked before she shrieked and pushed herself from him, she dashed out of the hall. "Ez... You Jerk!!"

Ezra chuckled before he turned to look at Zaiah who was looking at him with venom in his eyes.

"I guess trash can always have ploy armour, huh?" Zaiah snided, Ezra walked towards him and stood about 1 meter from him.

"Adjust your mental state, cause when this trash wipe your ass on the floor, would you be able to say such words to me?" Ezra said with disdain as Zaiah frowned.

"Don't forget, this trash got the legendary black level whil you haven't tested yet,if you test and get an Orange,won't you be worse than trash??"

Ezra turned around and walked towards his seat, but most of the students and parents looked at him with fear in his eyes, the chairs around him suddenly became empty as the students and parents moved away, Ezra was unperturbed by this.

He looked towards the arena and he noticed that his uncle and the four adults had reached a consensus.

" I've convinced them, Ezra... I'll have to try and convince the people from the colleges" Ezra heard his uncle's voice in his mind which stunned him, he looked at his uncle who was looking at the sky.

"Can you guys come down, we do not have all day" Zenn said as he folded his arms. His words surprised the women and Zephyr but the most surprised was the principal as he wasn't expecting Uncle Zenn to have noticed them.

"Hahahaha.... As expected of the Hegemon Dragon, no disappointment at all"

Three people appeared, they were the childe, the old man and the young woman.

Behind the three, were twelve other individuals ranging from men to women and some of them were of different species, some were demi human while there were beastmen, there were some with fangs too, and gave off a bloody smell.

"Who are you, people??" Zenn asked as he placed his hand on the hammer.

"No need to fret, Hegemon... You may be stronger than us but our backer isn't one you can easily offend..." Oab said with a smile only to be whacked in the head by Idril.

"What are you showing off for?" Idril hissed with her cold demeanor.

"Nevermind the charade, we actually have an interest in admitting your nephew into one of our schools..." Orson suddenly told them their purpose.

"... It is mainly the Guardian Academy that is interested but I feel it would be nice to teach a black deviant talent"

Zenn, the principal, Elanne, the fox woman and Zephyr were stunned.

"I, as a grand teacher from the academy, officially invite Ezra Wolfe to become a student of our Academy!" Oab suddenly said as he stretched his hand out and a scroll appeared, which flew towards an unsuspecting Ezra.

"Eh?... Is this the legendary edict?"
