Chapter 23 Hazel’s Awakening.

Going to the academy specialized for benders and spending a good number of time there, a person can now refer to himself as a warrior.

So that's how the awakening takes place in the temple, every kid that enters it must have to go through that process. Ethan was still standing alongside Aiden as kids kept entering and coming out of the temple.

Many got to awaken an ability, while some didn't. More people were still joining the queue, and Emma and Hazel were still in the queue as they kept moving front little by little.

Was Hazel still anxious if she'll awaken a power element or not? Yes, a little. She was very anxious before, but due to what her dad told her, she calmed down.

Her mum was standing beside her, and was she anxious? Yes, a little. As known, it wasn't possible for a parent not to be anxious whenever his or her child wants to awaken.

Ethan and Aiden were still standing there waiting for when it would get to the turn of, Hazel. And while Ethan was standing there, he noticed some of the reactions of the chiefs and nobles close to him.

He noticed both their reactions and facial expressions, they were anxious. Do you know how embarrassing it would be if their children don't get to awaken a power element? They were in high places, they were officials, so many eyes would be on them.

This was what Ethan would face if Hazel doesn't get to awaken an ability. Apart from him, Hazel would also be mocked for some time. But what Ethan knows was that he wouldn't be disappointed in his daughter, he was still gonna continue cherishing and loving her.

As time passed, some of the officials left with different facial expressions...gloomy and elated facial expressions. Only about three of them had gloomy expressions plastered on their faces. And why is that? Their children didn't awaken a single ability.

They were disappointed, so they just left with their kids and the knights that came along with them. While some of them left with elated facial expressions, their kids got to awaken an ability, even one of them awakened about two power elements.

Their parents were so proud, they were in high places, their kids got to awaken an affinity, eyes wouldn't be on them. At that moment, Ethan couldn't help but wish Hazel would awaken an affinity, even if it was only one. But if she doesn't awaken a single one...then so be it.

Ethan was still standing on that spot with Aiden when one of the nobles close to him began jumping up in joy, he was really elated. And why was he elated? 'Cause his daughter got to awaken an ability, she just came out of the temple. She awakened the earth ability, meaning she was an A-rank bender currently and future F-rank bender.

Her parents were so happy, and this was the statement flowing out of the man's mouth as he was jumping up in joy,

"My daughter got to awaken an affinity, I am so happy. My daughter got to awaken an affinity, I am so happy".

And after he was done making that statement, he ran off to go meet his 8-year-old daughter.

..At that moment, Ethan wished again that Hazel would get to awaken a power element...even if it was just one.

Kids kept on entering and coming out of the temple. And it was the same case, many got to awaken an ability, and some didn't.

More people kept joining the queue from behind as more people kept entering the temple. After the passing of minutes, it finally got to the turn of Hazel as she and Emma were standing in front of the elder currently.

Glancing at Hazel, the elder inquired of her,

"Is this your blood mother?".

Hazel nodded her head while uttering, "Yes, she is my blood mother".

And Emma voiced out as well, "Yes, I'm her mum".

"So you're definitely eight years old, right?". The elder inquired once again.

"Yes". Hazel retorted once again nodding her head. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

"What is your name?".

"Hazel Dankworth".

"Who are you here with?".

Hazel glanced at her mum and uttered, "I am here with my mum", Then she pointed her hand backward, "I am also here with my dad and little brother, they are at the back".

The elder nodded his head. He had already written her name on the book and her age as well, and the details she told him about coming here with her mum, dad, and younger brother...basically, her whole family.

He glanced at her once again and voiced out, "You can enter now. Go see if you have the mana core in you at all, go see if you'll get to awaken a power element".

And at that moment, Hazel strolled into the temple with her heart beating a little. And that was the same case for Emma as well, she became more anxious as Hazel stepped foot into the temple.

Ethan and Aiden weren't left out, they became really anxious as Hazel entered the temple, their hearts were beating a little...especially, Ethan's. Aiden just kept wishing his big sister would get to awaken an ability, he kept wishing she had the mana core in her.

..If she doesn't get to awaken a single ability, they wouldn't be disappointed in her, but it would affect the family a lot...their dad was an average-ranked chief.

At that moment, Ethan evacuated the spot he was standing on while holding Aiden in his hand, he wanted to take a clearer look at his daughter. He wouldn't be able to see Hazel from the spot he was standing, he wanted to see her in the temple, so he had to evacuate that spot.

He stood at a spot with Aiden where he could see her clearly though she was far. And at that moment, she had already sat on the chair as all eyes were on her. Both her parents, the parents of the children that wanted to awaken as well, and the children themselves.

She could feel the beating of her heart at that moment. And not long after sitting on the chair, she started feeling that aura circulating her body, like extreme power was entering her, it was a little painful.

All eyes were glued on her at that moment, they could all tell that the aura was circulating her already. The next thing that would happen would determine if she awakened an ability or not.

At that moment, Ethan and Emma couldn't be more anxious. That event took place for about a minute and some seconds, then it suddenly stopped, Hazel wasn't feeling that aura circulating her anymore…

..And what happened next right after that? The white color shined brightly, she awakened the wind affinity...her father's main affinity.

Emma sighted this from where she was standing, and she was so happy that she almost jumped up in excitement. Ethan also sighted this from where he was standing, and he couldn't be happier.

First of all, his daughter got to awaken an affinity, all eyes wouldn't be on him due to a chief's daughter not awakening a single ability. Secondly, she awakened his main ability, the wind ability.

She'll be referred to as an A-rank bender for now. But later in the future, she'll be referred to as a D-rank bender just like him. He was so happy that he had to voice it out to Little Aiden since he was short and couldn't see what was happening in the temple.

"Your sister got to awaken a power element, she has the mana core in her".

He said this a little audibly that some people had to glance at him, but he didn't care about that. Hearing that, Aiden became elated immediately.

By now, Hazel had already discerned that she got to awaken a power element as she was glancing at the colors on the iron, and it was her dad's main ability, the wind ability. She was so happy.

She glanced outside to see her mum smiling already, and she stood up from the chair she was sitting on and began running toward her mum. She reached where her mum was standing and embraced her tightly, and her mum embraced her as well.

"I am so proud of you my dear, congratulations". Emma uttered while still embracing her.

Ethan stood at where he was, waiting for them to get here, he couldn't wait to embrace Hazel. The both of them evacuated the queue as another child and parent headed toward the elder.

And at this moment, they were heading toward Ethan and Aiden. They reached where the both of them were standing, and Ethan embraced Hazel at that moment as Hazel embraced him back.

Aiden just stood there glancing at the both of them with a smile on his face. Embracing her to his satisfaction, Ethan voiced out,

"I am so proud of you, you awakened my main ability, the wind ability, a future D-rank bender".

And at that moment, he increased his tone of voice, "We have an A-rank bender here with us!".
