Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

Chapter 9: Can't believe my eyes!



Chapter 9: Can't believe my eyes!

“Elliot, no matter what other say, do your best on the entrance examination. Your entire future is riding on this.” Charles shouted as the aircraft shoots across the cloudy mid-day sky.

“I will give it my all.” Elliot nodded.

He was never one to give up in the face of taunts and threats.

Thus, he won’t step back even if someone wants him to.

“Make your parents proud!”

Elliot blinked his eyes in response and looked upwards to the endlessness, inwardly saying that he won’t disappoint them.

The aircraft moved towards the busiest and the wildest place of the city—the central region.

The Magician Academy, established by the Magician Association, was situated in the center of the Hunter Dystopian City, on top of the Emerald Mountain that was made out of green stones.

The aircraft carrying Charles and Elliot took a few turns and dashed out of the sea of clouds before taking a deep plunge and descending at the bottom of the Magician Academy.

“Just show the guard at the gate your identification card, and he’ll allow you to enter the academic grounds and direct you to the examination centers.”

“I understand,” Elliot said as he stepped out of the aircraft with his backpack.

“Good luck!” Charles said as he watched him step towards the academy.

Elliot turned around, looked at him, and said, “Thanks for everything you’ve done for me.”

“Just doing my job!” Charles replied with an amiable smile.

“See ya later,” Elliot said as he waved his hand at him.

“Goodbye and take care,” Charles said before he went away to carry out his other duties.

After splitting up with Charles, Elliot approached the gates of the academy situated in the center of the summit of the rocky mountain.

“It sure is huge, just like what I saw in the videos,” Elliot said as he looked at the gate in front of him.

The inky, black gate acting as the entrance of the compulsory academy for young magicians stretched around twenty meters across and split down the middle.

Many youngsters around his age were waiting in line in front of the entrance of the academy, with three to five passing through the split in the middle every few seconds.

“The entrance sure is packed with people today.”

Seeing numerous people his age going to take the entrance examination didn’t come as a surprise to Elliot. Everyone came here to participate in the entrance examination and enroll in the academy as there are not only many benefits of joining the Magician Academy but a person can only become a full-fledged Magician after graduating from here.

“Let’s get in line and wait for my turn.”

Elliot joined this line, standing behind a group of youngsters dressed extravagantly in robes linen with golden and silver threads.

He kept his presence small as he didn’t want to get sighted by his bullies, and he passed the time by listening to the words uttered by the people in his surroundings, taking in the chatter.

“It shouldn’t take long for my turn to arrive.”

A few minutes later, he passed through the split in the middle of the gate after showing the guard his ID and being told the location of the examination center.

“I’m finally inside.”

Then, he stepped on a curved stone pathway, walking in the center of a road surrounded by trees and flowers, and he entered one of the many examination centers after passing through a stone archway.

The moment he entered the examination center, a few people turned to glance at him, only to look away in the very next second as they realized that it was the most pathetic existence in the magician community.

However, Theo Rose kept on looking at Elliot with a scorching gaze and an expression of disbelief.

The very first time he looked at him, there was nothing special about Elliot. Instead, he was bound to die within a year as his eyes saw the black veil of death covering his body.

Now, however, a golden layer encompassed every nook and corner of his body, albeit it was thinner than a sheet.

Unbelievable!

“What the hell happened to the fate of the weakest magician? Why is he covered in a thin layer of golden radiance? Shouldn’t he have no luck and fate? I’m sure he was surrounded by a dark aura, signifying that his life was going to end in a year. How did he manage to alter his fate and take a turn toward glory?”

Simply inconceivable!

Of course, this shocked Theo Rose out of his wits.

In his entire sixteen years of life, he has never seen a person covered in the black glow of death surviving for more than a year, yet Elliot hasn’t only got rid of his fate of death but has also gained the aura of glory.

It didn’t matter how thin the glow of glory around him was.

What mattered in his eyes was that Elliot did a thing that no one in the past had done.

“Interesting,” Theo said while looking at Elliot, a smile stretching across his face.

“There’s something mysterious about him for sure. I guess my time in the academy wouldn’t be as boring as I thought it was going to be.”

Elliot didn’t know that he has attracted the attention of the most powerful magician in this room.

He just walked up to one of the empty seats and sat down on it in silence.
