The World We Do Not Know - 64 Awakening

“Are you sure? Did you think he lost wantedly?” Being surprised by the words of Skiouros, Yang observed both of them.

The referee have already stopped the fight considering Faust’s safety. Barkha is walking off the stage while Faust got up on his knees, letting out a hint of smile with happiness upon seeing Gus and Bella.

Two people approaching the stage with stretcher in their hand are surprised to see Faust getting up on his feet. They hurried over here upon seeing the kid beaten up so badly, but he is already on his feet. They were shocked.

Faust walks back normally to the stage and stands with other participants. Everyone has shocked expressions taken over their faces while Barkha has anger filling up his head.

*”There is just no way he is up and walking so soon.”* He thinks with his mouth open.

Caitlyn, who is standing on the other side, gives a sad look at Faust from the corner of her eye. Faust averts her eyes as he feels like a weakling who lost the fight

He does the same to all of his three friends.

After the first phase is done, the announcement of the next phase about to be starting soon surfaces.

“The awakening”, involves different kinds of weapons placed on the stage, all are enhanced by a replica of elemental stones. When a contestant goes on to hold a weapon. His spiritual power is calculated by the stone and is displayed by the counter on the big screen. Normally, kids above the score of 500SP (spiritual power) are taken as a soldier level

Kids with SP above 1000 are taken as ‘Seekers’ soldiers. Which are suitable for any kind of missions, their spiritual power are well suited. The kids with 500SP may or may not make it into the house as any soldier but the 1000SP kids will definitely become a soldier class and from there, they continue to seek the power and become Gifters one day.

“Now, even if he purposely lose in the first round. He cannot do it in this one. These kids haven’t been trained in spiritual power, so they can’t decrease it. Let’s see how good he is.” Skiouros continues with Yang.

“You are right.” Yang tells as he tightens his grip around the hands of his chair. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

Roy goes as usual to start off the test. He walks up to the weapon and picks up an Assault rifle. Dark red aura immediately surrounds the gun he is holding, the replica red stone which is just a counter stone implanted in the gun shines.

He then goes on to place his index finger on the trigger. The red stone does not glow brightly but the faint red glimmering light is sparkling and beautiful.

Everyone turns their heads towards the big screen, the number on the screen starts running. It already crossed 500 in super speed, 900….950…1000… it is not even stopping.

The number on the screen keeps running 1100….1200….1300 the number slows down by a moment. 1350…1400. The speed of the numbers slows down more it slowly reaches to 14500 and from there it becomes a snail. It slowly stops at 1490.

Roy still keeps staring at the screen with a brink of hope that it reaches 1500. But it is frozen there.

“Tsk” He gets annoyed with the results. The whole crowd however goes crazy.

“Of course, he is the noble what can you expect?”

“Congratulations Sir, Roy”

“Our little master is already so strong. He will definitely become a captain on day for sure.”

People from the crowd floods Roy with their praises. Roy takes a small breathe and maintains his composure and tries not to show all of his emotions. He slightly smiles, unlocks the rifle and points it towards the dummy in front of the stage.

He takes a deep breathe slowly while focusing on his spiritual power. The guns starts quivering in his hands. It becomes hard for him to hold the gun still. He holds it in his right shoulder supported by his chin bone pressing down on the gun.

Instantly 10 bullets were shot from a gun and only 3 hits the dummy. Faces of Yang and Skiouros lights up upon seeing the Roy.

His father, Clayton, becomes delighted as he lets out a road followed by his barbaric laugh.

Following him, Caitlyn, Nick and Tim takes the test.

Results are :

Caitlyn – 1200N

Nick- 1000

Tim – 1090

All of them are qualified and turned out to be the best in the entire village, they have received praises from all the villagers. Next turn is Faust’s.

As Faust is getting down the main stage after the announcement. “Why does he get to come? Isn’t it Barkha who is supposed to show up now?” Some villagers showed their disagreement with it. All the participants till now came according to their power.

Now they are riled up to see Faust being sent. “This is not fair, you guys are showing favourites clearly.” Soon the disagreement became argument and people were throwing water bottles and food into the arena.

Seeing the public’s reaction, they quickly changed the contestants and Barkha was sent out. He picks up a sledgehammer with a bigger head. To the crowd’s surprise, the counter in the big screen started off slow.

It ends on 490 barely even reaching 500, the whole crowd is silent. “It’s ok, it is just a matter of stones. If you had picked up the guns you would have more points.” A guy in the crowd yells.

Barkha however is so tired already and could not yield any other weapon. He stands and watches the guns helplessly.

The elemental stones sucks up your spiritual power, unless you have tons you cannot withstand this awakening stage.

After 10 more participants. It is finally Faust’s turn. He leaps forward with slight hesitation. *”If my SP is at the same level as Nick and Tim, I don’t think I can slip free. So this is why grandpa told me to forfeit. Because this stage is non cheatable stage.”* Thinking that, he holds a katana which is standing lonely among a number of weapons while his eyes are closed he thinks *”please don’t let me qualify this round.”*

After a good five minutes, Faust stares at the screen and to his surprise. The counter is at zero. Everyone in the arena is surprised along with Gus and Faust themselves.
