Making moves

[ Host, the system will go down until you awaken your mana as I cannot sustain in your manaless body because I am now a part of powers ]

[ System wishes the host good luck...... ]

After a while thinking things through Asher decided to take a bath first to relax his mind a bit. So he called his maid Emmy to sort out his bath. Emmy being the diligent and loyal maid quickly but carefully as she did not wanted to cause discomfort for her Master.

Asher sat on his lavish bath tub which a clean porcelain white tub with beautiful design and it screamed wealth. Relaxing in the steamy bath Asher thought of how he needed arrange things to awaken himself.

Awakening was really not that complicated but you needed huge funds if you wanted to awaken privately or you can go to the World Association to awaken yourself but you needed to sign a contract with them which stated some terms to work as a government employee for some tenure depending your awakening results. But why would Asher become a dog for the Association, he was the heir of Greville Family, one of the richest family which worked in various industries and one of those was Mana Stones which was specialty of the Greville family.

As mentioned earlier you can awaken privately but for that you needed the a Mana Gem and Mana rooms which kept a constant and pure flow of mana in it. Mana gem was a special mana stone which was only found rarely among Rank C and above monsters. And its rate was very low so Association usually shared a single Mana gem among thousand civilians to awaken them. But Asher can easily find a high quality Mana gem for himself with his family funds. In the past his father Arthur Von Greville, the current head of the Greville Family gave him the Rank A Mana gem for his awakening when he turned 15 before he joined the academy.

Asher stood up from the bath. He had smooth black hairs which complemented his spotless face with his 5ft 6 body, as he was a bit more taller than his peers for his age. He despite being young his handsome face could attract many beauties, he was like a flame to the moths. But despite being so attractive people also feared him, as in the past when he was 6 year. A kid pushed Asher in the adults pool in a social event due to him being jealous of the girls around him. But luckily Asher was rescued by one of the teenagers of were gathered there quickly.

When the Arthur Von Greville heard this news he nearly killed that kids whole family but was quickly stopped by his wife Sylvie Raven Greville who later mellowed the situation as it was a child's mistake. But nobody was relieved because they knew her personality and she was a women who never settled her grudges easily. The people there were sure that the kids family was already done for and they wanted no part in helping them as who wanted to be the enemy of two powerhouses known as the Ravens and Greville, there were only a few families that could actually rival or oppose them.

But what actually chilled everyone was the 6 year old who just nearly drowned his face was calm and indifferent. Asher always carried a cold face from a young age but people thought it was common for elite families children to mask their emotions. Everyone expected him to be startled by his near death experience but he just coughed his water out and just walked towards Sylvie leaving the doctor who was checking up on him.

"Ash, are you fine " Sylvie asked with a worried voice.

"Mom, Can you tell the attendants to fix my clothes, that kid pretty much ruined my clothes *tsk*" clicking his tongue with annoyed expression.

Other children his age around the party were already were pretty scared due to the whole commotion but even the adults when they saw his blood red eyes were taken aback with cold sweat forgetting he was only a small kid.

"Don't worry Ash, Mom will handle things here you go change out okay" Sylvie said while kissing his forehead. She was quite a doting mother. After this day Asher got a nickname 'The Cold Devil' and many people usually kept their distance not wanting any problems with him at any social events whenever he attended them. And Asher welcomed this change as he did not like someone disturbing his personal space too much either.

And after this incident his parents never tried to awaken him early but rather let him enjoy his life and grow up in a loving memories because even they were worried about their child cold demeanor towards anything and everything. They believed that their love towards him will slowly but surely melt his stone heart.
