No one stood up and said that they wanted to quit. After all, they had stayed in school for so many years just for today.
As for the probability of death, it was extremely rare. People would always have a glimmer of hope.
The spirit envoy looked around. After seeing that no one stood up, he said in a slightly gentler tone, "Since there's no one who wants to quit, then let's begin!
"The person whose name I've called, please come up and begin the awakening ceremony."
He took out a piece of paper from his bag and read the name list:
"Li Chong, come up."
The person whose name was called stood up and slowly walked to the podium. However, this boy had an arrogant look on his face and looked at the crowd with contempt.
"Li Chong must be able to awaken an elemental elf, right?"
"The teachers usually praise him, saying that he's a once-in-a-century genius."
"After he awakens, Li Chong's life will probably soar."
The spirit envoy ignored the discussions of the others and said seriously, "Extend your arm and press it on the crystal ball.
"Close your eyes and focus. Meditate on your magic lamp!"
The man did as he was told and placed his hand on the awakening crystal.
Lorne and the others watched everything curiously. In fact, no one knew what the awakening ceremony was about.
In an instant, the originally calm crystal ball began to change. Sparks slowly appeared in the crystal ball and gradually condensed. Then, those small sparks began to spread gradually until the entire crystal ball was filled with flames.
"Li Chong, awaken the flame-accompanying elf!"
The middle-aged spirit envoy was very excited as he looked at the flames in the crystal ball.
Elemental elves, as the name implied, were elves that could control the elements of heaven and earth. Among the many elves, elemental elves were undoubtedly very rare, and they were also elves of higher levels.
Those who possessed elemental elves were often the focus of their cultivation. As long as they grew up successfully in the future, they would definitely be strong.
The flames of the crystal ball raged. Li Chong, who had successfully awakened, also had some changes. His body emitted a blazing light. A fiery-red magic lamp appeared, emitting a red light. Then, it slowly condensed into the shape of a small elf.
"It really is a fire elf!"
"I knew Li Chong was a true genius!"
As the crowd discussed, Li Chong slowly opened his eyes. With a contemptuous smile, Li Chong slowly walked down the podium. The accompanying elf also jumped beside him.
"Next, Jiangnan."
The man whose name was called stood up and walked up to the podium with a perturbed expression. Under the middle-aged man's gaze, he extended his palm and slowly pressed it on the crystal ball. A few seconds later, the crystal ball returned to normal.
At the same time, a phantom that looked like a magic lamp appeared. With a bang, it turned into a speck of light and disappeared.
"Jiangnan, the awakening failed!"
This was the failure of the awakening. The magic lamp automatically appeared and shattered. Feeling the magic lamp leaving his body, Jiangnan's face turned pale. He walked down the podium with a sullen face. He could not hide the disappointment and sadness on his face.
No one said anything. Even Li Chong, who had been arrogant before, could not help but feel a little sad.
The excited eyes of the people below the podium also became nervous. No one wanted to be the next person who failed the awakening.
"Next..."
The awakening ceremony continued. Those who had successfully awakened were ecstatic while some were disappointed. After all, the fate of failure was always cruel.
The abilities of the awakened elves varied. During this period, a girl named Moli was usually very low-key, but now, she had awakened a healing type elf.
It must be known that other than offensive elves, healing types were even rarer. They were a rare species among elves. The higher-ups placed great importance on this type of talent.
Someone came to take the girl away on the spot. It was said that they were going to receive special training.
Just like that, the awakening ceremony continued until half an hour later.
"Next, Lorne."
Hearing his name called, Lorne stood up and walked toward the podium.
"He's the last to be awakened, right? I wonder if he'll succeed in awakening?"
"I don't think so. Lorne isn't usually outstanding either. I'm afraid his talent is average."
"..."
There were many discussions below the podium. Some people were guessing whether he would succeed, while others were not optimistic. Lorne did not care about all of this.
[ Ding, the system has been activated. ]
[ Novice mission: the host can complete the mission once the companion elf is successfully activated. ]
...
"Novice mission?"
It was not easy to awaken an elf because they might lose control. The school forbade students from attempting to awaken themselves.
After the students reached the age of 15, there would be special spirit envoys to focus on helping the students awaken. This crystal ball was obviously a tool used during the awakening.
Taking a deep breath, Lorne placed his hands directly on the crystal ball. In an instant, Lorne felt that he had entered a dark space. An invisible force was pulling his consciousness.
As Lorne's consciousness fade away, the crystal ball in the outside world also changed. The entire crystal ball became pitch-black as if someone had injected it with ink. Then, a white light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black crystal ball.
The white light gradually expanded and the black and white colors were evenly matched, in a state of balance. Everyone below the podium looked at the changes in the crystal ball. Even the middle-aged man noticed this strange scene.
In the dark space, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared. Lorne reached out his hand and wiped at the barrier. The next second, the barrier shattered and turned into gray powder.
A little girl's voice sounded in his ear. "Big Brother, are you here to look for me?"
Lorne saw a princess in white dress suddenly appear. An innocent little girl was sitting on a swing. She swayed along with the swing.
Lorne was a little puzzled. Was she his companion elf? Why did she look like an innocent little girl next door? Lorne observed for a while and smiled.
"Little Sister, are you alone here?"
The little sister next door shook her legs and looked at Lorne as if she was looking at a fool.
"Big Brother, there's my sister too. She's been behind you for a long time."
Hearing the sweet voice, Lorne felt a chill on his back. He turned his head abruptly.
A girl in a black dress, with a clear and flawless appearance, looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, stared straight at Lorne.
The black-dressed girl's face was cold and she was the first to speak.
"You're not bad looking! Since you've opened the restriction, then you're qualified to be our master."
Then, she waved at the girl in white and said, "Let's go, Sister. We can go out now."
Hearing her sister's words, the little girl jumped up excitedly and instantly went to her sister's side. She said happily, "Really, Sister? We don't have to stay in this boring place anymore?"
The girl in black patted her head dotingly and said, "Yes, we can go out with this person in front of us."
"Yes!"
Lorne stood by the side and did not say anything. Suddenly, a mechanical voice sounded in his ears.
[ Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully awakening the Twin Elves. ]
[ Reward: 10 portions of Moon Essence, 10 consolidating spirit pills. ]
[ Reward: 200 experience points, 50 fetters. ]
Lorne finally let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, he finally succeeded in awakening.
