awakening

ON BEHALF OF THE GUARD

I don't have that many responsibilities. My main duties are patrolling the main teleportation gate, and listening to the complaints of the citizens.

I was working at the entrance that day, and my main duty was to make sure that no living soul would come out or enter through the teleportation gate.

Even though I said so, in fact I just stood there for 4 hours, and every 4 hours another guard replaced me.

I was standing as usual... ahem ahem... I was patrolling the main gate as usual from unwanted visitors, and as usual happened every day, no one came out.

But something new happened that day.

When I had already met with the guard and was about to switch with him, a "BOOM" happened out of nowhere

We looked to the right and saw the big Askart house, they were known for their loyalty to the royal family, there was not a single guard who did not know about the Askart family.

But we didn't see a big luxury house that occupied almost the entire tree, no… we saw that almost the entire house was destroyed by the explosion, only the left part of the house remained, where the explosion could not reach. In the middle of the explosion, the silhouette of a small child was visible, around which the debris of the house was flying.

We were in shock. Is this explosion because of a child?

But the shock did not last long, I quickly took out a communication artifact (which was given to all guards in case of emergencies) and reported the explosion.

ON BEHALF OF Aran Askart

After my wife and I escorted my old friends to the exit, I went to my office, it looked quite modest, there was a small table in the middle of the room where there were many different documents. In the left corner there was a closet, and next to it there was a shelf where my most favorite books were.

I sat down on a chair and started thinking about the future of my son Roel.

I wonder what kind of magician he will become, an augmentor or a caster?

I do not know what will happen if little Roel never "wakes up". God, no matter how long it takes–as long as he can train to become a magician, I will be the happiest father in the world.

It is quite easy to predict what type of magician the awakener will become, since the amplifiers and casters have different translucent barriers that appear during awakening.

Amplifiers, during awakening, form a kind of repulsive barrier, which indicates the dominant channels of mana in their body. Casters, on the contrary, literally attract everything around them, which means that there are more mana veins in their body. The degree of repulsion and attraction depends on the talent of the awakening.

Anyway, as soon as he wakes up, I'll start training him. If he becomes a spellcaster, then I will give him to my wife for training, because I don't have enough experience to train him…

...that's what I said, but…

BOOM!

The right half of the house literally disappeared…

What happened?

"Roel"

I strengthened my body with mana and started looking for my wife and son.

Debris from the house was flying at me, but fortunately I was able to dodge them. I ran to the living room where Cecilia was standing with dilated eyes.

I throw a temporary shield on my wife, which will protect her for at least a couple of minutes.

I looked at the source of the explosion and saw this.

My son was alive, and there was a noticeable translucent barrier around him. The attractive force of the barrier from awakening was so great that almost the entire house collapsed. He was floating in the air, where the training room used to be.

I was shocked, did my son wake up at the age of three?

"Aran, darling!"

My wife's voice quickly brought me out of my trance state, but my jaw was still shaking from shock. She walked slowly towards me through the debris.

She was already halfway to me and was supporting her body with plants to protect herself from the strong attraction that came from Roel.

"Aran! What happened? What's happening?

I silently pointed my finger at our son.

She looked where I was pointing and slowly whispered: "My God..."

(P.S. as you probably already understood, this incident will not pass by the ears of the royal family.

You can calm down, I'm not going to bring Roel with Tessia)
