The hall was earily quiet, a contrast to how it normaly was 150 students stand waiting for the grand master to enter.
In the back of the vast hall jason stood at just 5.7 his brown hair partially covering his eyes he swiped at it to move it out of the way his eyes one green one red scanned the room trying to see what was happening
CREAK.
Everyone turnt to the door a tall old man walked inside his robes holy and pure good afternoon everybody his voice rang out filling the room I appolagise for my late arrival there were matters to attend to
The students started mumbleimg is that him the grand master one boy in the middle said another chimed in I heard he was ill I didn't think he'd be here
A loud crash filled the room as the grand master had slammed his stick to the floor the room fell silent "thank you now shall we commence" the grand master walked to the alter "I reyheme the grand master shall call you up one by one you shall touch the alter and your awakened skill will appear on your status window now then"
Jason wasn't paying attention he knows he would be one of the last to be called he began thinking to himself I wonder what skill I'll get I hope it's one I can use in combat I don't want a craftsman skill or like farming or cooking I was a good combat skill. Murmers arupted around the room "no way Lilly really got the saint skill I've heard that a q in 100000 chance she so lucky" "and beautiful" someone chimed in
After a long wait of and hour it was finally Jason's turn only one great skill had been received this far today Jason was hoping to join Lilly in that glory "now dear boy place your hands upon the alter and say status" the grand master told him Jason obliged "status" a status window open before Jason's eyes
