Awakening (1)

Inside of a luxurious looking office, I face my mother with a timid face. Gathering my courage I looked at my mother, her smile sent chills down my spine, scared I quickly looked down and waited patiently for my mother to start talking.

"Did you know what you did wrong Ray?" (Lina)

"Uhh... I-I sleep late at night....." (Ray)

'That Anna!! She snitch on me f*ck!!'

(Pfft... hahaha) (Laila)

While I'm being scolded, Laila is giggling at her bedroom sensing my situation

(To think the mighty Guild master of [Night] is being scolded like this.. Pfft for sleeping late.... Pfft this is gold Pfft.... hahaha) (Laila)

(Ohh shut up! Can't you see her dangerous smile?) (Ray)

(Nope, I can't see anything, I only know your situation from hearing your answer) (Laila)

(F*ck!) (Ray)

"Rayford Aquinox, what punishment do you think is fit for your actions?" (Lina)

"U-Uhh ... not going to the knight hall for a week?" (Ray)

With a smile she said

"Make that 1 Month" (Lina)

"Wh-Wha that's unfair!! I need to learn their movements to gain inspiration! you can't do that" (Ray)

"2 Months" (Lina)

"Ugh.... Fine, Im sorry mother" (Ray)

Seeing my behavior, my mother look at me with a playful smile than said

"I heard the reason you stay up late is because of a video" (Lina)

"Yes mother" (Ray)

"What do you think of the fight?" (Lina)

"It's terrible, watching the knight spar is way better" (Ray)

"Well that's obvious, after all our knight order is one of the most prestigous order in the continent" (Lina)

She said that with a hint of pride in her tone.

looking at me again my mother suddenly frowned for a second and asked

"Ray, are you wearing an artifact or some sort?" (Lina)

"Ehmm.... I don't think so" (Ray)

Lina staring at me intently, then she talked in a serious tone

"Ray come here and show me your arm" (Lina)

Confused at mother's behavior, I walked toward her slowly and showed my arm to her. My mother grabbed my arm then she started to channel her mana toward my hand and gasp in astonishment, afterwards my mother took her phone and then went out of the office.

'Uhh... What just happened? Did I have some kind of disease? Is there a problem with my body?'

Panicking a bit, I saw my mother came back with father behind her. My father looked at me just like my mother and then grabbed my hand, channeling his mana he then showed a surprise expression and looked at me and my hand repeatedly.

"It's Real....." (Kyle)

With a serious face he spoke to my mother

"This is a very serious matter" (Kyle)

"Yeah I agree, if this is known by other they might try to send assassins" (Lina)

'Assassin?' (Ray)

"Uhh.... Father... Mother... What do you mean by Assassins?" (Ray)

My father looked at my mother for a second, after receiving a nod from mother father looked at me again and said

"Ray you just awakened your mana, moreover you awoke with a class, skipping the apprenticeship faze" (Kyle)

Looking at my confused expression, my mother added extra explanation and said

"Usually when a human awakened they will go trough apprenticeship then they will obtain a class according to their training method" (Lina)

"Yes your mother is correct, when I was little I awoken at the age of 3 and then I started my specialization training at the age 10. I obtain a class at the age 11, but you skipped those whole process and obtain a class" (Kyle)

"I awakened?" (Ray)

(What!! you awoken?) (Laila)

"Yes, my son you just awoken" (Kyle)

Understanding my situation, I quickly opened my status to confirm my father's words

'Everything is in a weakened state. This... Is probably because im still a 2 years old child, they should go up eventually, with my body now physical training is a no go' (Ray)

(How did you awoken? why didn't I awoken?) (Laila)

(How should I know? Are you jealous??) (Ray)

(F*ck!! No I'm not!! I'm just asking you if you know how to awoken faster) (Laila)

(I don't know any method, I'm also shocked to hear about my awakening) (Ray)

(Are you lying? You really didn't use any shortcut right?) (Laila)

(I'm telling the truth, with [Synchronize] I can't even lie to you. This just happened because i'm better then you) (Ray)

(F*ck! You're not better than me!) (Laila)

(This proved otherwise) (Ray)

While I'm busy teasing Laila, my father spoke to me

"Ray you will now stay with your mother in the office and train to regulate your mana" (Kyle)

"Yes father" (Ray)

(Just you wait... when I awakened I'll shot ice to your face) (Laila)

(Yeah yeah do that when really awoken, pfft slow poke) (Ray)

(I-I will freeze you! Just you wait, I'll make you become an ice statue!!!) (Laila)

(Pfft... Good luck?) (Ray)

(You! F*ckin prick!!) (Laila)

While Laila is grumbling using telepathy, my mother suddenly talked to me

"Ray you must not tell anybody that you awoken okay, your maid Anna will help you regulate your mana when I'm busy with work" (Lina)

"Yes mother" (Ray)

Just like that my mother called in Anna and the explain my situation to her, Anna looking at me with a surprise expression thought inwardly

'As expected of the first Prince'

"Ray now I want you to go to your room and use this necklace" (Lina)

"What is this?" (Ray)

"This is a special artifact that conceal your mana, with this other won't detect your mana and class" (Lina)

"But mother, how did you know that I woke up with a class?" (Ray)

"When a person reaches a specialization fase their mana will have a shape and will be more polished than those who don't. Elf is an example of this case, when they are born their mana will have its shape and will be more polished" (Lina)

"Hmmm... I understand, I'll be going now mother" (Ray)

'I see.... back at the game there is no elf on the academy so This is my first time hearing this' (Ray)

"Okay... Anna i'm counting on you" (Lina)

"Yes Your Majesty" (Anna)

Seeing the two walking out, Lina's expression soften a bit, she then look toward Kyle with starry eyes and said

"Our child is very talented" (Lina)

"Yes you're right he is also very mature, other at his age would definitely boast their talent without thinking after finding this out" (Kyle)

"He have a bright future ahead of him" (Lina)

While the two are discussing about their child future, they heard a knocking sound on the door

Knock Knock Knock

"Excuse me Your Majesty, Duke Kaynes Callestio is requesting a meeting with you" (Butler)

"Okay, tell him to wait for a bit" (Kyle)

"Yes Your Majesty" (butler)

Seeing the butler leaving, Kyle look at his wife and said

"For some reason I have a good feeling about this" (Kyle)

"Really? Why?" (Lina)

"Just cause" (Kyle)

"Sighh you never change"

Talking a bit more Kyle went to the meeting room to meet his best friend and rival, with high anticipation he walked to the guest room to meet his friend.
