There was a palpable sense of peace and tranquility inside the temple.
Despite this! Scores of curious onlookers were out and about taking in the artistic atmosphere. Those who are attuned to their environment may notice a sense of peace and tranquility as a result of these shifts.
The marble used to construct the temple looked like white crystal jade, and when bathed in sunlight, it reflected a golden hue that could never be seen outside the holy site.
It's a well-crafted building, as evidenced by the fact that it surrounds a pillar in the middle of a huge temple. In the carvings on the pillar, which Kenta was able to examine closely, the gods and goddesses were all represented.
At the same time, the aesthetic value of the pillar was amplified by the reflection of the water trickling down it, which resembled the Goddess's falling hairs.
'Truly! A magnificent thing to see. But it's a pity, the Goddess carving looks too creational. Her beauty lost the true shine of nature in it. After all, the carpenter must have been trying, to bring out her beauty, through his own imagination.'
Kenta became absorbed in his own thoughts as he regarded the Goddess statue. In which only one person understood the significance of what he saw.
As a result, the individual began to hope that he could get along with someone who was similar to themselves. Having settled on personally greeting the individual after the ceremony, he made his decision.
"Young master! You should go to your mother's side. After all, the noble child will get to awaken first in this ceremony, so you had to be mentally prepared for it."
Elisa sought out a means by which she could aid Kenta and discovered it in a surprising place. Kenta had no signs of nervousness in his expression, suggesting that he was well-prepared.
It was as if she were greeting Duke himself with the ease and grace of his natural demonic demonar. In the meantime, he was confidently staring down the onlookers with a straight face.
"Hmm! Elisa-San. Then I will be going, though! I found this temple light, to be quite pleasant to see. I hope, we both can come here more often. I will definitely look forward to that time."
Kenta's fear subsided in the presence of the statue after he remembered that he was driven by a desire to reunite with his goddess.
Although Kenta didn't realize it, Elisa, who was observing his face, caught him in the act of smiling. That left her speechless, as she couldn't tear her gaze away from that gleaming smile for reasons she couldn't yet fathom.
"Hmm! Good luck! Young master Kenta. We will be watching you from this area."
Both Kenta and Elisa were seated on the stairway that led up to the temple's main hall, where most visitors sat to watch plays and other performances.
When a certain time of year rolls around.
Kenta needed to go to the spot next to the pillar where his parents had been having their conversation with the priest.
He strolled over and offered a friendly greeting.
His parents were having a conversation with...?
"What a cute child you had Duke Leonhart. I must say, I will be looking forward to his awakening. After all, the Goddess we pray never let her beloved child like him down."
Attempting to strike up a conversation with his dad, it would seem. The other person made an effort to say nice things about Kenta. Though! His father's roaring laughter indicated that he enjoyed the honor, and it was clear that he was pleased by the person's thoughtfulness.
"Thank you for your kind word, Head Priest Marcus. Look like the Goddess saintess, has come to the chamber. While making her wait, will not be a wise move from our side."
When Kenta's mother saw a young woman enter the temple through the Templar Gate, she alerted the High Priest to follow the Saintess.
After that, the fifth and sixth children of Viscount Bellring participated in the awakening ceremony, with Kenta serving as the third participant.
He looked at the statue and had a fleeting vision of the Goddess of karma.
The woman he had met in the void world whose brilliant smile had returned to his thoughts seemed to be rooting for him.
"Viscount Bellring's 5th child is asked, to move forward and touch the water surface at the statue of any God or Goddess."
In the awakening, the person is needed to touch the water in front of the God or Goddess, he or she wants a blessing from whom. The water floated to form a sphere in which several texts appeared.
[Barbarian]
[Shield Holder]
[Morpher]
Three different skills appeared with a single titled name for two skills, on the other hand. There was also [Shield Holder] seemingly advanced skill, which made their family master laugh with a roar of laughter.
Where people surrounding the viscount, who were noble families of the surrounding started to congratulate them.
With that, the second family member of the viscount was announced to come, who came out with 2 ordinary skills. Though each of them was quite good as potential as barbarian and Morpher.
"Duke Leonhart 3rd child is asked, to move forward and touch the water surface at the statue of any God and Goddess." In that instant, people gaze shifted to him, as they all thought that Kenta would be under a lot of pressure.
Due to the [Shield Holder] skill person from viscount. But they found, the child walking steadily with firm movement and attitude, giving them a sense of confidence seeping out of the child's body.
Which made his father and mother smile at their child.
He walked to the podium and stopped in front of the statue of Fate. Which caused the nobility to let out a collective gasp, since it was widely acknowledged that this statue was of the primus variety.
Though! Both of Kenta's parents appeared relieved by his decision. When his hand reached the surface of the water, silence fell over the crowd.
As he sat there before Karma, the Goddess of Destiny. Who was smiling at him as she spoke?
"I brought you here so that you can choose the first five skills. You want others to see, while others will be hidden. But you will be able to see them, and level them up after a certain condition."
Kenta looked at the screen in front of him, as he laughed inside his mind.
"I can have forty skills, which is the same number. To the unlucky star, I had in my previous life." With a slight touch, all the skills which numbered in million started to revolve around him.
He looked and filter them to all S or above grades, then he started to choose forty skills from them.
After all, he needs to complete the mission of the Goddess to receive such a treatment.
"Wow! You are intelligent. It seems you will do just fine in that world. I hope to see, you as a hero rising up from that world."
"As the promise, you will get to date your goddess. With the help of this system. Which will be an extra treat for you, so Kenta-Kun. If you need some time to rest, you can always go to the nearest shrine or temple."
With a slight peck on his head, Kenta found himself back in the temple in the standing position. While 5 different skills were shining bright at the water sphere, which was revolving in the air.
[Knight (Handler)]
[Grand Seer of the Vast World]
[Super Regeneration]
[Limit Breaker]
[Ancient Spell Caster]
One 4-word skill and one 3-word skill were among Kenta's five, and both of them caused the audience to go silent.
There was a tremendous uproar, and then everyone started talking about something else.
They were all admiring the Duke's outstanding offspring, who possessed two Profession Skills at the highest possible level.
When Kenta came home, his mother was smiling through her tears.
Meaning her current level of contentment was quite high. But the desire to publicly embrace her child remained strong.
Instances where [Ancient Spell Caster] was listed among the skills, but [Grand Seer of the Vast World] was called out as a mystery ability. That was a fact widely known by the world's greatest magicians.
The [Knight (Handler)] Variant skill was on par with an Ancient spell caster in terms of power.
However, Limit Breaker and Super Regeneration are arguably the two most sought-after abilities across all classes. The five-skill set appeared tailor-made for those with lofty goals.
Though! Kenta picked them out for himself for whatever reason he had for thinking they'd work well. The Goddess will give him what he needs to grow powerful rapidly so that he can complete the mission successfully.
