A guy was training toples on a top of a mountain, he was looking like a martial artist who has trained for years. Shredded Abs, Muscular delts, Wide back and height of 6 feet.
It was Alen, his face was looking more masculine, hairs were smoother, eyes were glowing with a light. He was changed from six weeks ago.
After training Alen was washing his face in a stream and he saw his reflection in water.
"I have changed very much, Duke. Now I understand why beasts are primarily strong. Said Alen
"Yeah that's why we beasts are superior to humans" said Duke and made a proud face
Alen without giving Duke's remark a second thought sat in Lotus position to do Cosmo breathing. This time it was different his Cosmo was not only more pure but hotter at the same time which was something new to even Alen so he asked Duke about it.
"Hey Duke, why is my Cosmo energy so warm. Am I doing some mistake?" Asked Alen
"Nah, you are just more aligned towards fire element. Most probably you will get fire element in your first awakening" Answer Duke
"Fire element, It's fcking awesome. Now, I will become a fire mage too like my dad."Alen said in an enthusiastic tone.
"Yeah, fire element is great I too am aligned to fire element more " said Duke in an arrogant tone like he was proud of himself.
"Now you should go home and meditate" said Duke
"Yeah fine, I am mentally exhausted anyways" said Alen and started walking towards city.
In the Afternoon, Four guys were standing in the middle of road with their motorbikes blocking half of the road. Three of them were the same muscular guys who attacked Alen after his library date. While the fourth guy was thin but they were treating him with respect.
Alen was passing the same raod while trying his hardest to not be noticed by them. But his luck was not as good as his hairs.
"Hey you stupid geek, come here" the bald muscular guy shouted
Alen was still walking trying to ignore what he heard.
"He will not listen with words" said the thin tan guy who was their leader.
After the leader's word all of the muscular guys went to Alen to beat him again but this time Alen was not same.
"You retard have this" said one the muscular guy and punched Alen.
But this time Alen was able to see his punch like he was in slow motion, his eyes were able to see trajectory of punch.
Alen dogged the punch and leg kicked the guy which made the muscular guy tremble and fall in ground.
Alen thought, ''my body is stronger, faster because of training but it was like he was not human. He was feeling like some animal with fast reflex, stronger bones and muscle and still Brain."
Then, without giving another guy a chance he punched another guy in solar plexus and kicked the third guy in grouin. After 5 minutes all three of them were lying on road.
Alen who was frustrated from last time started kicking all of them and did not let them stand.
Suddenly, a waterball hit Alen he flew 2 meters by a single attack. His back was numbed to be exact the area where water ball hit him.
As Alen was lying down groaning in pain, the thin guy came near him and said "You maybe strong for a commoner but for a mages like me you are as weak as an insect"
"Go run away, next time I see, you are as good as dead. Remember my name, I am Mike" These were the final words that went in ears of Alen before his eyes closed as he fell unconscious.
When Alen woke up it was already late evening so he started running towards his home
While running towards his home he was filled with a mix feeling, him beating those 3 guys were succes for him while how easily he lost from water mage was a disgrace to him.
"I will make you pay you stupid mike" Alen said himself
When he reached home, he saw his dad was already setting table for dinner so he quietly sat down.
"I know Tommorow is your awakening, remember element don't make mage powerful but how he use that element does. So don't be disheartened." Said Alex, Alen's dad
"And being mage is not the only thing, you can always help me in bakery and live a peaceful life" Alex added later
"Thank you dad, I will remember it" were the only words came out of mouth of Alen but in his mind his only plan was to become strongest, strong enough to live his life with full freedom.
Next morningin school ground.
There were around 120 students of age 16 in his whole small Town which were present for awakening. Most of them were praying to good for any element because as long as you are mage even a weaker one, you can live comfortably. Even a weaker mage earns good money by being a bodyguard of a buisness man and stronger one can rule the world.
"EVERYONE LISTEN" teacher announced on a microphone. "This is a piece of asteroid which hit earth 66 million years ago, just come one by one and touch this stone. The stone will shine with a color which will show you your element."
First fifteen student were not able to become a mage but as sixteenth student touch the stone it started shining with brown light, teacher announced "Earth mage".
After several students teacher announced again "water mage" when a girl touched the stone.
There were around 10 students left including Alen in past students there were 3 Earth mage, 3 Water mage, 2 Air mage, 1 Fire mage and 1 Thunder mage and 2 plant mages.
Now the turn was of Alen, teacher announced "next"
As Alen went to stage his heart beat was racing, sweat was dripping, his hands were trembling. Now was the moment which will decide his fate, how strong and high up in social hierarchy.
As he went to stage teacher said to him "touch the stone kid, try to insert your mana in it."
As he touched the stone, the stone shined so brightly that all the students, teachers and common people who were watching it their eyes closed instinctively.
Teacher suprisingly in trembling voice said "progidy, one in a million talent"
Suddenly some grabed teacher.....
