"HELL YAAAA FIREEEE! I HAVE AWAKENED A TALENT HHAHAHAHA!" A loud and crazy laughter echoed from the stage, a crowd of students can be seen quietly standing below.
A boy, no more than 14 or 15 years old with yellow hair excitedly looked at the glowing screen infront of him.
[ Name: Robert Evans
Title: N/A
Level: 0
Class: N/A
Talent: Fire Affinity
Str: 11, Con: 10, Agi: 12, MP: 5
Skill: N/A ]
The teacher on duty, looked at Robert's wide smile and shook his head helplessly. Awakening talent sure is rare thing, according to analysis in Aurze there's only about 20% chance of an individual awakens his/her talent.
But even among that, awakening affinity talent.....that to just a common one...fire..
The teacher looked at Robert with some sympathy, beacuse he knows the cruel truth that until the awakened affinity talent is not lighting, ice, space or time it won't make much difference. At 10th floor of World Tower people will go through class awakening, which is also called by many the second awakening.
At that time many different and unique paths are opened. Individuals can also check which element is best suited for them. Even, some classes boost affinity of individual. Like, if a person get's Flame Mage as class he/she might also get an increase in there fire element.
"Teacher??" Robert called out. The man was in his own world, at Robert voice he responded by blinked and looked at him. Coughing he said. "I see that you have gained Fire affinity as talent which is....good.."
A fine sweat formed on the teacher head, as he looked at Robert's bright face. He cursed the education system which didn't taught much about class awakening to this kids.
'Getting Flame Affinity isn't that bad even after class awakening the talent that boost the elements power and comprehension....are usually useful...' The teacher convinced himself, he still have little kids at home to take care of.
"Ok Next!" The teacher shouted after waving his hands at Robert. Robert arrogantly, gets off the stage and smugly looked at the students.
The crowd jealously looked at him but didn't made commotion on it.
"Tch, what's so great about a affinity type talent?" In the crowd, a very handsome black hair boy with immature features mumbled.
He was Alex Grey, a reincarnated individual with no parents and no speciality except his face. His last life was also nothing special even his died was ordinary. Slipping off his apartment....yup falling straight off 11th floor and BOOM! Death.
Alex looked at the stage, a crystal pillar can be seen. A girl puts her hands on the pillar, by her side the teacher started chanting something.
Alex knew that the teacher had some kind of support class and what he was chanting was a spell called Mind Clear. Yaa! The name of spell is this....kinda lame but it's power and usefulness is anything but that. It clears the mind of an individual from all distractive thoughts, allowing them to easily sense the energy inside the crystal.
'As a reborn person, I wonder what kind of talent I will awaken..or golder finger after all it's common trope that the protagonist's system comes in times like this.' Alex recall the novels he read that contain exact same scenarios.
Usually MC will awaken a super op talent but he tries his best to hide it....you know to keep low profile. Though a supernatural phenomena will always occur when that happens, powerhouses that were half buried in ground for who know's since when suddenly climbs up. And the the world is thrown in choas.
Though, Alex certainly hopes it doesn't happen with him.
"Ok Next!" The teacher said, his voice magicialy ecohed the ground. This wasn't like Robert crazy shout, but a bend of magic and technology. A tiny speaker, clinging on his shirt.
It was Alex's turn, so he lightly walked towards the stage. His heart beating, so fast and loudly that it might bust out his mouth anytime now.
"Put your hand's on the pillar and try not to think." The teacher said, his voice slightly calming Alex.
Walking near the crystal pillar, Alex observed a faint visible energy pulsing around it. Pressing his hands on the pillar, he felt a energy entering through his hands. Warm. Bright.
"O' God of light...Hear my pray...." The teacher also started his incarnation by his side.
Alex suddenly felt weightless, drifting as if through clouds, his mind—once crowded with anime, manga, and endless fantasies—beginning to dissolve into nothingness.
And then a violent but harmless energy surfaced, the connection between Alex and pillar was forcefully cut.
"Phew~" The teacher breath out, while wiping his forehead sweat. Awakening is great but at same time dangerous, because normal people have no contol of themself when going through it.
Losing there mind is a normal thing.
A millennium ago, many people lost their lives due to not having correct and systematic knowledge of it's process.
"Mnn...Kid what happened?...." The teacher saw that Alex was just blankly staring not giving any reaction, so he asked worriedly.
But Alex can't careless about him. Right now his attention was fixed at this system panel.

TALENT! And not any but IMAGINATION!!
Alex, his breath caught, shakily stepped back a little. The teacher noticed and hurried to catch him, thinking he was about to faint.
But before his hands reached Alex, a small area in air near them was painted in black and grey. And started to expand, so rapid that even the strongest person present couldn't possibly follow it with eyes.
Soon, the world was replaced by it. Alex looked around, he saw the teacher who clearly had a worried face frozen like statue and it was not just him but everything from air to time itself.
"Haha this is crazy." A low laughter escaped Alex mouth.
He slightly raised one leg, then slammed it hard onto the stage.
CRRRACK!
Countless fragments, like shards of glass, flew around. These glass-like pieces were fragments of space. Alex looked down and saw a dark reality beneath him.
And slowly the cracking around him grew louder.....
