"Hello everyone,
I hope that all of our selected heroes are excited for getting powers from the mighty dragon!!
Please ascend to the podium to start the ritual."
Said one man, dressed as a Bishop to teenagers,
Who were standing in front of a staircase which led to a huge podium, standing in a row.
After the Bishop ended, the teenagers started climbing the staircase.
The number of teenagers were about 30!
So, for the next few minutes, the teenagers were climbing the staircase.
When all of them were on the podium, the Bishop started:
"Oh the God of hell and heaven,
Oh the dearest dragon among the holy land of dragons,
Oh the God of humanity and the dragon of justice,
Shall bless the human realm protect it from the reach of the evil land of the demons,
Accept these sacrifices and provide us the power,
So that we, the fellow mortals can fight for the human realm!!"
Suddenly, the night sky (For it was nighttime) was illuminated by a bright, heavenly radiance.
The bright, blue light lasted for 20 minutes.
And within that time, tiny golden orbs were floating around the teenagers and faint, white orbs were coming out of their bodies.
After the 20 minutes,
The light dissipated, revealing a colossal serpentine dragon.
It had azure scales,
A huge head with yellow eyes and crimson pupils.
It also had two giant claws with shackles around those claws, and flame surrounding the arms.
It had long, twisted horns.
It was the God of humanity,
The one who granted the teenagers special powers to fight the monsters that invaded the human realm.
The dragon looked down, with disgust in his eyes.
But, since he was summoned in the perfect time, he had no choice but to provide powers to them.
It said,"Aah, what a sleep I had.
And you dare to break my leisurely sleep, you morons!
However, you did a great job.
I think I should now proceed.
So, you ugly humans really have nice sacrifices, I'm impressed.
In the name of the supreme Dragon, I grant you 50 seconds of protection!"
(50 seconds of the dragon means 50 days of humans, since dragons were summoned every 50 days!)
"All hail the mighty God!
All hail the mighty dragon of protection!"
Everyone shouted, with happiness in their eyes.
But, if one observed closely, he/she could say that some changes were happening in the teenagers'!
Their eyes turned blank, and as soon as the golden orbs entered,
their bodies along with the faint ones, they turned back to normal.
Some of them manifested swords, hammers and all that,
while some of them manifested grimoires.
One of the teenagers who manifested a grimoire was a boy,
He had blonde hair, sharp, hazel eyes and he was, in fact, not short!
He was about 5 feet and 8 inches long.
One could say by a single gaze that his weight was about 50 to 55kgs!
His name was- Alexander Count'de Goldstein.
He was happy after seeing his grimoire, but suddenly turned sad,
The reason: He wanted to have a battle-axe as his power, but couldn't get it.
Soon after the ceremony ended,
All the teenagers registered their names in a register which the Bishop had held.
"So," said the Bishop
"All of you will go to the schools where you have taken admission, okay!
And the vehicles will depart from here to the different school 8 days from now,
So please rest for these days and please report here and go to your specific schools,
Understand,
And most importantly, please maintain discipline in the schools where you will go,
Since some schools even restricted their own students because of indiscipline!
And, please do not stress yourself,
You will do your academics for only 10 years, so no need to worry,
For these 10 years,
The government will be responsible for you and your family's protection and safety!
You all may go now!"
All the teenagers clapped in unison, as if congratulating everyone.
However, Alexander was disappointed.
Not because of not getting an axe,
But rather, he got the most basic ability out of all the Mage profession!
That is: He could control the elements!
Or in other words, he could use 6 types of magic:
Flame, Water, Rock, Wind, Thunder and lastly, Nature!!
It was not common by the way, since some mage could get one of the magic he now owned.
But he had six of them!
But still, it came in uncommon category of powers!! So Alex thought he might get bullet by the stronger ones.
That was his anxiety. But still he said to himself:
"I should be contempt to what I have got;
I should not be afraid to what comes next I should move on and train to become powerful,
So that I can never be dependent on anyone for protection!"
After that they all descended from the podium and walked away, to their homes.
The Next Morning:
"Oh mom, please not again!
I just came from the ceremony.
And you're sending me to train under grandpa James!
He uses swords while I have got a freaking grimoire!!
How can I then train my magical power?" shouted Alexander Count'de Goldstein, as he heard his mother said:
"Since you've become a hero, you should now go to your grandpa James,
My little guinea pig!!
And don't make excuses that 'I'll not go, mom! I'm sick!', understand!"
But, when his mother, Julie heard that he was a mage,
She said," Alright, I can understand that!
But, you still need physical fitness,
My dear guinea pig!!"
"What the heck!!!
I'll depart 7 days from now and you tell me,
How the hell will I get fit in these 6 days?"
"Just joking, my dear guinea pig!
I was testing you, that how you can persuade your mum,
And you passed with flying colors!!
Alexander said,"What the heck is it!
You were literally mentally torturing me,
And you say it as a test!!
What the heck!!"
Julie said,"Mmhmm, you're right, my dear guinea pig!!"
"I'm not a guinea pig, mom.
I've got a name!!
And it's Alex Sawyer!"
"Nope, you're name is Alexander Count'de Goldstein,
Did you forget the deal with me and your daddy!
What he had told, he had clearly said that his family's title will be your surname,
Not ours!" said Julie.
"But I like Alex Sawyer,
Alexander Count'de Goldstein is like a royal name, you know!"
And with their talk, the day passed!
