As the glow dimmed, everyone could see the orb's color. It was...White?!

"White?! I wonder what your element could be. Kyle, congratulations on your awakening! Meet the rest of my team backstage to be attend to," After the man sent Kyle away he turned and faced the crowd.

"People of Frulia, it was an honor to be with you, 5 valiant young ones had awakened! We look forward to the next awakening, next year. Goodbye!" he said before taking his leave.

When Kyle came backstage, the four others who had awakened were already waiting, one would expect them to be discussing.

Orion sat on a chair, reading a book.

Anne, just sat still, staring into space, her eyes seemed so empty.

Zack was grinning from ear to ear, which was creepy as no one bothered to speak to him.

Riya sat with her eyes closed, she was meditating, trying to calm her excitement.

He was given a form which he was supposed to fill. It was an entrance form to the academy. Like every person there, he wanted to join the academy so he filled it accordingly.

It didn't contain much, just stuff like name, age, gender, guardian etc.

After being questioned on how he felt by a lady he sat and waited for the man who hosted the Awakening. Luckily, he didn't wait for long as shortly the man arrived.

"Once again, Anne, Zack, Orion, Riya, and Kyle, congratulations on awakening your elements. Most of you might already know the elements you had awakened but I'll inform you anyway,"

"Anne, darkness. Zack, earth. Orion, electricity and metal. Riya, Fire and wind. Kyle, yours is bothersome as we can't recognize your element. Though elements can manifest in different colors like Riya's blue flame, we didn't observe much from yours to be able to tell your element."

"There's no cause for worry, as when you reach the academy, we will help you discover your element."

"Now you all, most of you know your element, I'm gonna have to say, being a mage isn't as easy as one thinks, you need to be dedicated and hardworking to be stronger."

"So, until we come to pick you up in 5 days, don't relent, keep trying, all of you are exceptional kids and I'm very sure you'll turn out to be great,"

"By the way, my name is Hans Daits, a recruiter of the academy. We'll be taking our leave," A massive Raven came, on which they entered and left.

The kids were awed at the sight.

"Hi," Kyle waved his hand, breaking the silence.

Anne looked at him, before standing up to leave, while Zack waved back at him.

"I haven't seen you before, Kyle, right?"

"Yeah, I stay with Madam Grace, she's like my aunt," Kyle replied.

"Welcome then, I have to go my parents must be looking for me," Zack said before going.

"Unexpectedly, the two of you awakened," Orion said with surprise.

"Sure we did, and we didn't need a freaking machine," Riya retorted.

"Tsk," Orion hissed before walking away.

Kyle and Riya also left to find Grace.

"Congrats on your awakening!" Grace exclaimed, pulling the two into a big hug.

"I'll prepare something special for you guys!" Grace declared.

"Hey Martha, give me 3 kilograms of tier 2 meat!" Grace said to Martha after they arrived at the marketplace.

"3 kilograms?! What's the event, Grace?"

"You weren't at the awakening? My kids here awakened! the two of them! Riya is even a dual elementalist, they're still unsure of Kyle's element but it should be special!" Grace replied with a hoot.

"Congratulations! I'm so happy for you, in fact, because of you two I'll give you a discount! So your fee would be 14 gold coins!" Martha declared, also excited by the news.

"14 gold coins?!!" Kyle couldn't help but say out loud. "On food!"

"Is it your money?" Riya asked, rolling her eyes.

"But..."

"No buts Kyle, it isn't your money so I'll spend it how I want to!" Grace said, clicking her tongue.

"I'll take it, Martha," Grace said before accepting the meat.

Arriving home, Grace began cooking while Kyle and Riya went to freshen up.

'Should I take a look at the system now?' Kyle asked himself. 'I want to see it, but I'll wait till dinner is over,' Kyle decided before going to take his bath.

Soon the dinner was ready, Grace had prepared lots of meat dishes, and the aroma quickly filled the house announcing the presence of the meals.

Kyle and Riya immediately rushed out of their rooms to the dining.

"Ma'am, have I ever told you you're the best cook in the world! You would have opened a restaurant instead of becoming a healer," Kyle praised Grace as he stuffed more pieces of meat into his mouth.

"Kyle, you jest, don't speak with your mouth full," Grace let out a giggle as she blushed.

"Mum, he's right! The food is great!" Riya said with her mouth full.

Kyle requested two more plates before he became full. "I feel stronger after eating this food."

Yes, it's tier-2 meat and would help keep you healthy as you train.

After they were done eating, they both thanked Grace and went to wash the dishes.

"Riya, now that you've awakened, would you still be using your bow?" Kyle asked Riya as they washed the plates.

"Of course, I could even use my elements to enhance my archery! Maybe I could shoot flaming arrows, and with my wind element, I'll never miss!" Riya said with pride like it was an easy feat.

"You can do that?!"

"Yeah, why not?"

"Goodnight, Riya!" Kyle waved before he went to his room.

They were a lot of stuff on the system after he awakened. Kyle wondered where to start from.

'I must have completed the quest to awaken, the reward should be something called a status.'

'Let's check that out!' he decided.

"Status!"
