Elias was standing below stage among others students who had completed their school and now ready for the 'True blood awakening'.
"We stood the invaders for centuries while gaining power and now that invaders are back we will strike back and show them how much of power humans gained overtime. Blaze in human heart will burn anything threatening our existence. It's fight or be forgotten in constant story of cosmos." A military officer on stage was giving this speech. This speech felt genuine and emotion filled as a aura created through war can be felt shrouding that officer.
Heart of Elias began to pump blood faster as this speech caused him to feel goosebumps like never before. This was exact reason why he always wanted power to get revenge on what took away his parents and save others along the way if he can.
"Elias, what sort of Blood do you want to awaken as? You know about range of blood." Someone nudged Elias while asking this in nervous and expectant tone.
"Dimaond ape, Thunder Tiger, Perma Enhance or Healing spirit are all top notch blood but I would be happy till it is as strong as Aura Arnour." An involuntary smile appeared on his face to show much he researched on this topic.
"Okay, all students have been divided in five different group, each group will attend awakening on corresponding number stages." His announcement finally caused students to look at their bracelet which projects which stage they will attending.
< Please approach stage number 3, your turn will be when your name will be called. >
Reading the displaying message, he walked toward the stage with smiling face though it suppressed his nervousness but it was still there. All his life have lead up to this moment where he solely devoted himself to this purpose after loosing his parents.
"Morgan, come to stage."
"Lola, come to stage."
One by one everyone got called to stage where today their destination of destiny would be written.
"Ryuga, Dragon Mark. Potential A+"
"Lola, Aura armour. Potential C+"
"Kiro, Awakening failed. "
"Toritora, Appraisal Eyes. Potential Anamoly."
Toritora was a boy who always maintained status being average in everything. It's always 50%.
Elias looked at those bright eyes of Toritora while remembering details written about this recorded blood power.
'Appraisal eye- This eyes can see through all the illusions in same level while having a sense to evaluate energy contained in people and things. Limits of branched abilities of this blood power haven't fully explored.'
This ability was one where person could sit and earn rich money if having reached enough level.
"Elias, come to the stage."
His face was firm but his steps still shook while all that memoriws blood of his parents splattered over wall while he survived through that like life is mocking him to live a hell before dying.
"Elias, be stronger. You are much mature than this." A junior soldier of military mumbled to himself as a look of pride spread over his face. This was soldier who was assigned to train this young boy whose resolve was strong.
Climbing the steps of stage, he had to lay in a sci-fi pod. Pod closed by itself as a gas was released to make person unconscious.
A serum bottle was injected directly in his heart as a warm feeling was felt by Elias despite being unconscious.
This warmth spread in entirety of his body which then began to return to his heart and condensed into one energy ball.
"Elias, Error, Diluted Blood." A announcement was made while his senses were still dull from effect of unconsciousness gas.
All he could hear was 'Diluted'. This word does not need any explaining for him as he was well versed in studies of awakening ritual and results happening from it. His body suddenly glowed with faint golden light which does signify that his awakening was but diluted put a certain question mark on his potential.
"Awakening status- Passed"
Teacher had to say this because person with diluted status never awaken to full extent but this was different which somewhat changed their fixed mentality.
Despite getting status of awakening, his power and potential might be very much limited to being weakest.
"Look at how genius of military have fallen." Someone from crowd of students spoke.
"Now even weakling will stomp this guy."
…
"Can you expect the filth of society to give birth a shining star. It is already good that his parents are already dead or otherwise they would have died after watching his awakening result."
Hearing these words, ears of flared up as he looked in the direction of where this came from.
A group of five students were laughing as they made such remarks about him and his family.
His eyes flashed with sudden red tint and his eyes shed tears while clenching fists with as much of force he could muster. His nails pierced into skin of palm drawing blood.
That soldier who had trained him can't imagine him getting this kind of awakening result because his physical performance had always been beyond what he could have expected even if comparing to the various well known geniuses.
…
Elias eventually got off the stage while other students looked at him for a second but that momentarily glance enough for him to feel their views toward him.
While everyone was busy discussing future prospects of their life depending power they awakened, a sudden big commotion happened at stage next to theirs.
"Damon, Perma Enhance. Potential S+"
Announcement was heard as soldiers standing at protection of awakening ceremony.
All of them went toward next stage what type of treatment will this genius is gonna receive.
Damon walked down the stage but stimulus of such power awakening was just too much as in mid of stairs he got on his knees with fast breathing.
Many teachers came to help him, as did the soldiers. Teacher helped him while using his blood power of healing nature to help relieve pain of awakening.
"Resurgence Stone" weak voice Damon said these words which shocked the teacher.
Your body wouldn't be able to bear it.
On the other side, Elias was dealing with his emotions and all the efforts falling short to help him. His body trembles as rage inside rose to peak but a mystic warmth appeared in his heart which supernaturally calmed him.
