Chapter 2 Magic Awakening
After Mu Bai came to the podium, Xue Musheng said, "Mu Bai, place your right hand on the Awakening Stone in a moment, and keep your mind calm and free from any distracting thoughts."
"Understood," Mu Bai replied.
"Alright, let's begin."
The Awakening Stone is a white sphere with a place to put your palm on it. At Xue Musheng's prompting, Mu Bai placed his hand on the Awakening Stone, and his left hand trembled slightly due to nervousness.
He is a member of the Mu family of Bocheng, and according to his bloodline, he is very likely to awaken ice magic.
There's always the possibility of unexpected events during magical awakening. If he awakens water and light magic as Zhao Kunsan previously mentioned, he probably won't receive the family's attention anymore, which is why Mu Bai is nervous.
Not long after Mu Bai placed his right hand on the Awakening Stone, a sky-blue starlight appeared on the stone. The sky-blue starlight spread upwards from Mu Bai's arm and finally enveloped his entire right arm.
"Click, click, click..."
The sound of ice freezing on the Awakening Stone made the students below crane their necks to see what element Mu Bai of the Mu family had awakened.
Mu Bai felt the cool touch on his right arm, a happy smile appeared on his lips, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hmm, very good. You've awakened the ice element; you haven't disgraced the Mu clan," Xue Musheng said with a smile.
"Holy crap, it's ice magic! That's a really powerful magic type."
"As expected of Boss Mu, his awakened element is indeed ice."
The students below were filled with envy when they saw Mu Bai awaken the ice element, while Mu Bai's lackeys were even more smug, as if they were the ones who had awakened the ice element.
"After you awaken your magic, it will be reflected on your school badge. For ordinary people, all seven stars on the school badge will be dark after awakening magic. Mu Bai has higher talent, so one star is already lit on his school badge."
"You've awakened ice magic. Although your talent is slightly higher than the average person, you still need to cultivate diligently. After all, talent doesn't determine everything," Xue Musheng advised.
"Alright, next, Lu Yu."
As Xue Musheng finished speaking, an ordinary-looking boy stepped onto the podium.
A few minutes later, Xue Musheng sighed and comforted him, "Well, it's alright. Your earth element talent is not bad. If you work hard in the future, you can become a pretty powerful mage."
"Next up, Xu Qinglin!"
"Wind element!"
"Next up, Qiu Yueying!"
"Earth element".
"Next up, Lu Xiaobin!"
"Water system"
Upon seeing that he had awakened a water-type talent, the boy named Lu Xiaobin burst into tears, screaming wildly, "Impossible! How could I have awakened the worst water-type talent? I should have awakened ice or fire! It's a mistake, teacher, the awakening stone must have made a mistake!"
Xue Musheng looked at Lu Xiaobin with sympathy and comforted him, "Lu Xiaobin, don't be discouraged. No matter what element you awaken, as long as you work hard to cultivate to the level of an intermediate or even advanced mage, you will be quite powerful."
Xue Musheng's words weren't entirely wrong. Water and light magic, which are relatively weak in the early stages, do become quite powerful in the mid and high stages. But how many people can actually cultivate to the level of a mid or even high-level mage?
Most people spend their entire lives at the level of a novice or intermediate mage.
The awakening of magic continues, with students constantly going up on stage to awaken magic—earth, water, light, wind, and even ice. As for fire magic, it's still nowhere in sight.
"Next up, He Yu."
Zhang Xiaohou, who was standing at the back of the classroom, glanced at the girl named He Yu when he heard the name. Jiang Han also noticed the girl named He Yu.
He Yu's appearance is rather ordinary, not particularly beautiful, but she is Zhang Xiaohou's type.
Is she the He Yu that Xiao Hou likes? Later, she died at the hands of demons in the disaster in Bo City, becoming a lingering pain in Xiao Hou's heart. If possible, he still wants to save her.
Jiang Han shook his head, inwardly mocking himself. What am I thinking? Whether I can awaken magic is still unknown. Why am I having the leisure to think about the future?
A few minutes later, He Yu walked down from the podium dejectedly. The magic she had awakened was not very good; it was the worst water magic.
"Next,····"
"Light System"
"Next,····"
"Earth element".
"Next,····"
"Wind element".
"Next up, Zhang Xiaohou."
Standing next to Jiang Han, Zhang Xiaohou greeted Jiang Han and Mo Fandaosheng, saying, "Brother Jiang Han, Brother Mo Fan, I'll go up first."
"Okay, go ahead, don't be nervous, relax," Jiang Han said with a smile.
Mo Fan nodded and said, "Yeah, good luck."
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohou was about to awaken his magic, Zhao Kunsan, who was standing next to him, sneered, "Zhang Xiaohou, I wish you awaken a water-type magic, hahaha."
"If you keep babbling, I bet I'll punch you," Jiang said coldly.
Upon hearing Jiang Han's words, Zhao Kunsan shrank back in fright and shut his mouth.
Zhang Xiaohou was rather thin. After placing his hand on the Awakening Stone, a blue starlight quickly appeared on the stone, and a blue whirlwind emerged from his hand, causing the teacher's clothes near the podium to billow.
"Very good, wind element, and your talent is quite good too. You must work hard and not be lazy!" Xue Musheng admonished with satisfaction.
With Zhang Xiaohou added, Class 8 already has several promising talents, but the one he is most satisfied with is Mu Bai from the Mu family. If they can get into a good magic academy in the future, then Class 8 can also rank among the top in the grade.
"Next, Zhou Min."
A pretty and quiet girl got up from her seat and walked towards the podium. As she passed through the aisle between the desks, some students began to talk about Zhou Min.
"This is Zhou Min. I heard other students mention her as a teacher's daughter when I came here. I never expected it to be her."
"She's so beautiful, I'm a little tempted, but I wonder what kind of magical talent she'll awaken."
"I guess it's either wind or ice type or something like that."
When Xue Musheng saw Zhou Min walking over, he said softly, "Place your right hand on the Awakening Stone, keep your mind calm and don't have any other distracting thoughts."
Zhou Min extended her fair right hand and placed it on the Awakening Stone. After a few breaths, an orange flame shot up from the Awakening Stone.
Many students in the class widened their eyes upon seeing the orange flames shooting out of the Awakening Stone.
"Holy crap, this pretty girl has awakened a fire element!"
"Damn, this girl is not only beautiful, but also talented. I'm so envious."
"Brother, I advise you to take it easy. If she can awaken fire element, it proves that she is definitely not as quiet and obedient as she appears. She is very likely a violent maniac at heart."
In an instant, Zhou Min, who had awakened fire magic, became the topic of discussion among the students in the class. Fire magic is one of the more powerful magic types among the dozen or so, and it is a type that many magic apprentices would do anything to awaken.
Fire and lightning are the most difficult magic elements for apprentices to awaken. The success rate of awakening fire on the first attempt is only one in several tens, while lightning is even more difficult, with only a one in a thousand chance of successful awakening.
