Chapter 5:

Noah's eye's opened, he stood in a open field, the soft breeze blowing the scent of spring, the warmth that could be felt from the sun light on his skin. Noah took a long and deep breath as he felt serenity in the environment around him. After spending a moment there he noticed a man siting in the middle of the field, the man was wearing a bright green robe with gold fabric lining the edges, he wore a ring that looked familiar to him but he couldn't place it. This was when Noah had realized he didn't really know how he got here and his memories was blurry. 

He stepped forward walking towards the man, he needed answers, where was he, why was he here. He tried to collect his thoughts but nothing came to him, he only knew that his name was Noah and he had a purpose for being here. The man did not move as Noah approached him, his voice was soft and warm like that of the summer sun. "Welcome child, I know you have questions but you are yet to be strong enough to ask." with those warm words radiated power, Noah opened his mouth to realize words did not come out.

"Listen closely as we do not have much time before you return. You hold the legacy of the Jade palace, something went wrong with your awakening, and those who find out the truth of who or what you are will covet your death. Your purpose is to grow stronger, as some will help, others will hinder, you must discern their purpose. You have done something no other has done before, you had fused three classes within your body. Your potential is hidden even from my sight, I do not know how strong you can become with this combination of classes. But as time is short we must go." with the last of his wise words he stood and walked forward, Noah didn't know why but he followed.

Before his eyes Noah couldn't believe what he was seeing, they walked through a mirage and the scenery around them had changed into that of a palace, gold and jade created the majestic building in front of him. It was more lavash then any building he had known. But he couldn't figure out how he knew that. "Welcome Noah to the jade palace." the door opened as the man gestured Noah inside.

Anna huffed as she stood over another dead beetle "How did you kill it in one shot Izzy?" she asked in between breaths, "my spell doesn't have a long cast time, but the more time and mana I put into the spell strengthens the spell. By overcharging the spell it was able to deal more damage then normal." Anna nodded as she looked more favorably to Izzy. 

After harvesting the beast core they continued down the winding path finding a few more beetles, but Izzy noticed something strange. "Is everything all right why are you watching us?" Izzy asked Anna confused as to the words Izzy was saying. "Of course you would notice my presence, we are just doing are routine exercise to maintain the safety of all the students." the teacher hiding in the shadows said. "well that makes me feel better Mr. Bruce." Izzy knew that this wasn't routine she knew something had to have happened to one of the students. Her mind instantly going to Noah he was alone, 'Maybe it wasn't him' she thought. 

"Let's go Anna lets try to be the first team at the bosses room." Izzy started pushing ahead at quickened pace knowing the faster they finished the sooner she would get answers.

Noah stood in a large room with the man it was filled with countless of shelves, filled with books and scrolls. "Here you can pick out a cultivation method, whatever you choose will be up to you and fate." the man said as he gestured Noah forward. 

Noah walked past shelve after shelve he looked left and right, 'How am I supposed to pick from such a huge collection.' he thought as he continued down the enormous library. It was then he noticed something odd a book stood out, it was plain a brown leather back book, there was no title, no indication, but it looked out of place. He picked it up looking at it thought fully. "Interesting you pick that one, now if you mentally focus towards the ring on your hand you will find a storage space place the book inside and lets continue on to the next part." the man said appearing behind him. Noah was shocked. 

After spending a minute figuring out how the storage space worked he had placed the book inside and they walked to a different room. It wasn't as big and it also had books inside, but they where on displays instead of being on shelfs. "Here you will decide on a martial style, you will have more chances to come and learn other styles if you wish, and there will be chances to learn better styles these are all of the styles within the first realm." again the man waved Noah on to make another choice.

All of the students had gather celebrating their awakening, they had completed their first dungeon and received their classes. Food, music, carnival games lined the area, the entire county there celebrating another year of awakeners. Izzy wondered around the group but not being able to find Noah worried her, she knew that something was wrong but couldn't find any answers. She had to put her worries to the side her family was here and this was a time to celebrate she would contact Kaley later and try and find more information out.

"A new fire mage in our family I couldn't be prouder of my daughter." his name was Conor Burns he was the head of the family and Izzy's father, bright red hair, a slim but muscular figure, and a presence of authority poured off of him. lifting his hand a flaming bird shot up into the sky lighting up the festival more, as the flaming bird reached high fireworks boomed across the sky. A family tradition for the fire mages. The crowed awed at the light show, "How were things inside Izzy dear." her mother standing beside her father asked. "It went well mother, but the entire faculty was issued to watch over us. A frown plastered her fathers face, "well they must have been doing a exercise." her father suggested, as he quickly shown a smile. 

the celebration continued as noon turned to dusk, and quickly into night.
