Awakening Ceremony

Zaiah Zephyrus was the last son of the Zephyrus family, one of the supreme family in Livingstone City.

Ezra and Zaiah have never seen eye to eye since the first time they met in Livingstone High. Ezra was at the bottom, while Zaiah was the student that every teacher loved as he was always the top of the class.

Another reason Zaiah didn't like Ezra was because of how close Ruby was to him, Just like Zaiah was, Ruby was from one of the supreme family also, the Tempest family, how could she roll around with a commoner.

"The bottom feeder of Class A can only awaken trash as talent"

Ezra turned to look at the black haired handsome boy wearing specs with a frown, earning a gloat from the boy.

"Zaiah, no one would blame you if you just keep your mouth shut" Ruby said as she stood behind Ezra who had still remained in his seat.

"Tch... It's not like I'm lying, since he is the bottom of the class, what do you expect him to get, a strong talent?" Zaiah said as a matter of factly.

Ruby was about to retort back but was stopped by Ezra, "Sit down, just ignore him"

"But..."

"Ruby?" Ezra called, with a huff, Ruby sat back in her seat.

Zaiah frowned at the exchange, before he turned around and went to sit somewhere else.

"Boss, you just left like that?" A chubby boy beside him asked as he stared at Zaiah like he had grown two heads.

"What should I have done, the bastard ignored me, if it was any other day, I would have taught him a lesson for ignoring me, but since it's our ceremony, I don't want to ruin my image" Zaiah said as he folded his arms.

Two girls approached him, Zaiah turned and looked at them. "Senior Zaiah, we wish you a successful awakening today"

Zaiah smiled with a nod, the girls immediately became hyperactive as they screamed and high-five each other.

Suddenly, there was a huge explosion in the arena, which startled the students and parents alike.

When the dust, a giant red haired man with sideburns was standing up straight, the explosion was caused by his landing.

"Alright, since I've gotten all your attention, My name is Leon Fleme, one of the teachers of this prestigious high school, I'll be the one coordinating the ceremony"

"Since all protocols are already here..." Leon looked towards the east side of the stands, there were five people sitted there, he made a courtesy bow. "...I hereby declare the ceremony open!!"

As soon as Leon's voice dropped, fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky.

Meanwhile, at the previous stand, the ordinary old man in a tux watched the fireworks with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Say, principal... Are there any exceptional talents in your graduating students?" The lanky man beside the old man asks.

"Well, yes... Your son is an exceptional talent, and don't forget the young miss of the Tempest House, they are both the cream of the top amongst the other students" The principal said as he cast a side glance to the young woman who sat at the last seat on his right, looking at her side profile, the woman had a resemblance to Ruby except for her purple hair.

"I heard there's a student called Ezra who seem to be at the bottom of the class... " A woman with fox ears said as she looked at her nails.

"Don't talk about that kid..." The principal said as he looked towards a certain direction, his gaze zoned in on a middle aged man who sat with poise, despite the common clothes he wore.

Feeling someone's gaze on him, the man turned to look and he saw the principal, he smiled with a nod. The middle aged man was naturally Uncle Zenn.

Mr. Zephyrus looked towards where the principal was looking at but no one noteworthy caught his eye. Don't tell me there's a A class Weaver here?

"That aside, you said the big three and several other magic colleges would be spectating the ceremony, why don't I see them?" A yellow haired man asked, electric currents were always crackling around him.

"Oh, them... They are around but you won't know, they are mixed in with the people in the stands" the principal said .

Ezra who had been listened to Mr. Leon's speech with a bored expression, until he felt an intense gaze on himself, he looked towards the source. On the seat on the other side of the walkway on the bleachers, a seductive brown haired young woman sat as she looked at Ezra like he was food.

Dressed in black leggings and high heeled boots and a black long sleeved crop, she exuded the aura of a succubus. Ezra rose an eyebrow in confusion before he looked away.

Ezra looking away seem to have stunned the woman, before her surprise disappeared and she licked her lips subconsciously.

Sometime later, it was time for the students to test their talents. The graduating students were made up of about 400 students, from the four classes combined, Classes A to D.

First was a girl, her name was Aliyah Foxwind, she is a beast kin, as seen from her signature fox ears and tail.

Aliyah walked up to the crystal, Mr. Leon was standing beside it. "Alright, just place your hand on the ball, no need to be nervous"

Aliyah nodded as she breathe out a mouthful of air before she placed her hand on the ball, after a few seconds, the crystal ball lighted up with a bright blue.

"Light blue demon class talent, passed" Leon called out as Aliyah sighed in relief as she cast a glance at the stands where the principal and the three people sat. Seeing the smile on the fox woman's face, Aliyah beamed.

"Good thing, your daughter didn't disappoint you" Mr. Zephyrus said with a smile.

"Yeah, I wouldn't know how to show my face in public" the fox woman said with a coquettish smile.

"Let's watch the others, shall we?" The young woman who had not said anything since suddenly spoke without her eyes leaving the arena.

After Aliyah, several other people tested with some failing and majority passing. Soon, it was remaining, Ruby, Ezra and Zaiah to appraise their talent.

Ruby went up first, as soon as she placed her hand on the crystal ball, it lighted up with a deep red.

"High red deity class talent" Mr. Leon called out with a big grin on his face.

Ruby skipped down to her seat as she stopped in front of Ezra. "Ez, what do you think about my talent?"

"Elder sister, please take care of me from now on" Ezra said as he bowed superfluously causing Ruby to giggle.

"Your sister and that bottom guy seem to have a very good relationship" The fox woman said.

"Who she hangs out with isn't my business, but if that guy fails to make it, he would have to think twice before approaching Ruby, again" the young woman said.

"I think it should be the other way around, your sister seems more interested, is this the legendary puppy love?" The fox woman asked no one in particular earning a glare from the young woman.

" Ease up, Elanne, it's not healthy to be too rigid, loosen up" Ignoring the glare, the fox woman said.

The principal,Mr. Zephyrus and the yellow haired man who sat in the midst just watched on, trying their best to avoid getting involved in the conversation.

"Ezra Wolfe! " Mr. Leon called the name and he frowned.

He watched the familiar boy with the uncommon white hair walk out of his seat with Ruby cheering for him, He walked towards the crystal ball.

"Relax your mind and place your hand on the ball"

Ezra took in a breathe and breathed it out before he placed his right hand on the ball.
