"Wake up john"
john heard his mom calling from downstairs and mumbled in his sleep something about 5 minutes more.... time passed and 10 minutes later his mom called him again,
"John you are going to be later for school, wake up now" john sensing the annoyance in his mom voice finally dragged himself out of bed and picked up his towel and went to the bathroom to take a bath, he thought to himself "ahhhh why can't someone destroy our school already?" he adjected the temperature of the water to "hot" and started washing himself (it was summer). after walking out of the bathroom, he wore his school uniform while still grumbling about how much he hates school and turned to the mirror, he saw a black hair boy with big pink eyes staring back at him, john was cute and short compared to the other boys of his age, but personally he didn't mind it at all.
john after fixing his hair went downstairs to eat breakfast, he sat at the dining table while greeting his older siblings, the housemaid soon gave him some toasted bread with jam (the only thing he ever eats for breakfast). his parents had already left for work, they both co-operated a mid-size company,
. His brother (the oldest child) had already become a healer and worked at an average guild. his sister Sofia (the middle child) on the other hand was only two years older than him and attended a normal school as she didn't have any talent in magic.
john after finishing his breakfast called the driver to take him to the school. john thought in his mind while getting inside the car "I really wish that I get the fire attribute or at least not that shitty water, actually even being untalented would be better than getting that attribute", 10 minutes later he arrived at the school.
walking into his classroom he saw his friend jack and Alex (the only good thing about coming to school) already standing their and talking excitedly to each other. john greeted them as he went to put down his school bag on his seat. After which he walked towards his friends who were wating from him.
jack a tall and muscular boy for his age looked at john and said with a grin on his face "almost thought you were going to be late again" ,john replied with a smug expression on his face "today the day when we will finally be able to use magic, so the teachers would have cooked me if I was late today", his other friend alex around the same height as john said excitedly "i can't wait for the ritual, I hope we all get at least one attribute".
unlike alex john was much excited this whole "awakening ritual" thing since both of his parents were totally untalented in magic and his brother had still somehow gotten the light attribute so now there were really low chances of him getting a attribute let alone the fire attribute.
after some time, the bell rang and a middle-aged teacher walked into the room "students get in a line and proceed to the basement for the ritual", almost immediately the students formed a line beaming with excitement as they walked towards the basement, arriving at the basement john saw a very well-built and advance looking place, it was nothing like what john had imagined. near the ritual area many groups of people from different magic school were present to recruit students who had potential for becoming a good mage.
one by one names of student were being called...john nervousness was slowly increasing by the second. on alex turn he awakened the darkness attribute (specifically mind related magic), after some time jack was called up and he awakened the light attribute (specifically protection and healing magic), because of jack getting two types of magic many scouts got interested in him.
NOTE: when someone awaken an attribute they are also shown what type of magic will they be best at and mind control comes under the darkness attribute... another thing to note is that how much talent that they have in that attribute is not shown, it basically just shows what type of magic you can do. so, there are chances that a person with some attribute may have so minor talent that it can be totally unless and via versa.
after jack, john was called up soon he dropped his blood on the round device and a blue screen showed up:
Name: Jhon
Attribute: fire and earth attribute
Recommend: explosive and ice magic
No. of magic circles: 0
everyone was a little shocked because john got two attributes which wasn't common to say the least. john was really happy about it manly about his fire attribute while he totally ignored the water attribute.
6 monthslater....
john was seating in a corner of the classroom with a gloomy look on his face... he looked almost broken and lost of any hope... his eyes were void of any emotion which did not suit his cute face, his previous carefree personality was completely lost.. his friends jack and alex where nowhere to be seen.
In the background some voices could be heard talking about john "the new boy actually have two attributes... what a pity he don't have any talent... I heard that he couldn't even make a fireball properly, he even humiliated himself so badly in a magic school entrance test"
"it is all true" jhon thought to himself while mindlessly staring at a maths book
