The tower's report

Aestor felt dizzy. He didn't have time to comprehend his power so he had no idea what the report would say.

What power could he extract from that nightmare? he only saw a crying little girl, why was she crying?

He ran to the last floor and found a big hall with a cristal wall. The light after those hours in the floors below was almost blinding.

Other kids appeared after him so he wasn't in the awakening realm of the tower anymore.

"Oh, there is people crying, what happened?" he asked to the boy next to him. He was a pale individual with dark hair and blue eyes.

"Well it's pretty obvious can't you guess? They awakened a useless power."

"But how can they already know? The Head and crystal report event hasn't started yet"

The blue eyed kid looked at him with certain superiority

"You aren't the brightest here, for example that boy right there was shouting he absorbed an orb with an useless nightmare, it seems it was just some guy going naked to class"

"Okay I understand but can't the report change that? maybe there was something else?"

"Naive boy... "

Aestor didn't want to be seen as an idiot, he really wanted to know if there was hope for him and his nightmare so he decided to wait.

"I see you are all already here so it's time to start the report, when we say your name come to the front and touch the crystal wall"

The Head wore a serious face

"You should have studied this but we'll repeat the process, first the crystal will show you the grade of absorption with the nightmare. E being the lowest and S the highest, then the crystal wall will show you the opinion the tower has of the nightmare and power you awakened"

After saying this the Head started to call each kid

"María Arais put your hand on the wall"

Suddenly a C appeared on the wall

"not bad if the nightmare was good you could lead a good life"

Another letter was written after a while. This time the Head put a finger on the wall.

"Nightmare power unlocked invisibility A grade potential, you'll need some time to master it because your talent is average but is a great power, work hard"

A few other kids went after her with lower predictions and then it was the twins turn

"Jaenna Gwal put your hand on the Wall"

Jaenna touched the glass wall, Aestor watched her dark skinned hands tremble and then an A appeared.

"Oh that is great, Jaenna was your name right? let's see the nightmare"

Jaenna's eyes were closed as she was praying for luck

"mmmh I see what a talented girl! lighting power an A grade potential"

Jaenna came back to her spot with the biggest smile and hug her brother before it was his turn

"good luck silly! "

Yeray smiled, if his sister was so talented maybe he will be lucky

"Yeray Gwal come here"

The process started again and a B appeared on the wall

"Talented siblings? perfect, your power is monster strenght quite predictable looking at you...I would say is a B+ you need to work hard"

Yeray was so satisfied, a double B was already a golden ticket to great academies.

Aestor was so proud of his two friends, Jaenna had an A talent just like his brother who was considered a genius.

"Next Dael Hagelier"

It was the rude boy who talk with him before and Aestor recognized that family name, he was from a rich family probably the most influential from his city.

Dael put his hand on the Wall and without a flinch an A appeared.

"As expected of a Hagelier, and your power is..."

The Head looked at him with surprise

"Of course a double awakener of water and ice A+"

Aestor was jealous, rude guy was a genius too and he didn't react to his own awakening...so cold.

He kept waiting for the moment of truth and the Head finally called him.

"Aestor Noix please come here"

Aestor looked at his friends who were giving him encouraging smiles and put his hand on the Wall

"OH of course you are his little brother! what a fantastic talent" unexpectedly an S was written on that glass.

Elara touched the glass and her expression clouded

"sight... this is bad news kid, sorry I shouldn't have gotten excited so soon... your power is just E grade, we can't see great potential I believe you can make kids cry....I hope you find an academy that guide you"

Aestor froze. D potential. His future dissapeard just like that.

"What do you mean Head? MAKE KIDS CRY!? how can I fix this?"

Aestor fell to his knees. Yeray and Jaenna came to pick his friend up.

"I'm sorry kid it is what it is, there's been people more unlucky than you, you should be grateful to us for giving you the awakening opportunity"

Jaenna looked at Elara with assassin eyes while his brother guided Aestor out of the building.

And that's how Aestor woke up alone.
