The crowd gathered in the square in front of the church, and the solemn voice of the priest echoed.

"Miguel, a believer from the village of Azca, come here"

"Yes, yes!"

Miguel, the usually arrogant and arrogant werewolf, looks a little nervous today.

His face was pale, and his tail, which had always been floppy, drooped.

In the town of Ibro, an awakening ceremony takes place every year on the day of the vernal equinox.

Although there was also a church in the village of Azca, where we were located, there was no priest who could perform the rituals, so we arrived in a horse-drawn carriage to the town of Ibro.

Children from the surrounding villages, as well as other residents, gathered in the square to watch the ceremony.

Compared to the Huaxia before I was reborn, Ibro Town had fewer entertainment facilities, so the Awakening Ritual became a small celebration.

Miguel trembled and walked up to the priest, knelt down, and clasped his hands in front of his chest.

The priest held a staff intricately inlaid with orbs on the top, lifted it above Miguel's head and began to chant.

"Under the blessing of the goddess Fatima, bless the believers who welcome the time of awakening"

The orb glows white, and Miguel's body is wrapped in red light.

"The attribute is fire! Devotee Miguel, please show the goddess Fatima the blessings she has bestowed. "

"Yes!"

Miguel stood up, facing the square, and after taking a deep breath, raised his hands to the sky.

"In the name of the goddess Fatima, let the fire burn!"

In front of Miguel's raised hands, a fireball about 50 centimeters in diameter ignited.

The crowd of onlookers let out sounds of exclamation and admiration, but there was a lack of enthusiasm in the applause.

The Awakening Ritual is a ritual every year for children who turn ten years old to turn away from the blessings of the goddess Fatima and welcome adult life, but the actual purpose does not stop there.

All people in this world are born with unique magic, which they cannot fully control in their early childhood and can cause harm to themselves.

For wind attribute and water attribute magic out of control, it's okay for the room to be chaotic, but fire attribute and thunder attribute magic may threaten life.

As a result, the church created the magic of the seal known as the goddess's blessing and performed an awakening ritual to break the seal.

The goddess's auspices can reduce the number of children who can self-harm due to uncontrolled magic, and the church is firmly established.

The Awakening Ritual is a display for the Church, but it serves another purpose.

The magic bestowed by the goddess after it was unsealed showed the talent of the initiator.

People who are able to use powerful and stable magic from the start are also believed to grow faster.

The Awakening Ceremony was attended by judges of the Knights of the Kingdom and knights of the Viscount of Ragat, who ruled the region.

In other words, it's also an occasion to tap into promising talent for the future.

After the magic show, the children who were recognized as gifted were praised by the judges, but Miguel did not receive their attention.

Gaining attention was another fire-attribute kid who created a fireball that was more than twice as big as Miguel.

"Horacio of Azca, come here"

"Yes, yes"

The cowman whose name was called, Horacio, staggered forward.

Horacio is a head taller than Miguel, but has a very gentle personality.

"Under the blessing of Goddess Fatima, may believers live a healthy time, usher in the time of awakening, and be blessed by God"

The priest began to chant as Horacio's body was enveloped in green light.

"The property is the wind! Devotee Horacio, please show Goddess Fatima the blessings she has bestowed. "

"Okay!"

Horacio stood up, snorting heavily and facing the square, plucking up the courage to raise his hands in the air.

"In the name of Goddess Fatima, let the wind dance!"

Horacio, who was usually docile, suddenly shouted loudly, and a strong wind blew in the square.

In front of Horacio's raised hands, the air surged, drawing in the air in the square.

The crowd let out an exclamation, and the judges of the Knights of the Kingdom raised their right hands and applauded.

Once selected, and through rigorous training, you can become an official knight.

This means attaining nobility at the same time, a dream success story for children living in remote villages.

Horacio covered his face and wept as members of the church lifted him up and led him to the list of accepted candidates.

Miguel bids him farewell with a bitter expression, but with the relationship of the village chief, he cannot enter the Knights of the Kingdom.

Even if you enter, the knights are basically the supreme strength, unless they are descendants of the royal family or a few big nobles, they cannot become official knights by virtue of their connections.

This year, there are four children in Azca Village who participated in the awakening ceremony: Miguel, a werewolf boy who is the grandson of the village chief, Horacio, a cowman boy, Inis, a sheep girl, and a cat boy who is me.

Enis was confirmed to be a water attribute with weak magic, so the crowd in the square had already begun to leave.

I was the only one left on the field, because it is generally believed that the strength of the magic is directly proportional to the physique.

Even if it is an adult male, a cat person who is only about 120 centimeters tall is rarely able to give birth to a child with strong magical powers.

At present, I am less than 80 centimeters tall, so I am not expected at all.

"Azka Village, Hua Wuming, come"

"Yes!"

The top of Hua Wuming's head, who was kneeling, was pointed at by the priest's staff, and the moment he began to chant, Hua Wuming's body changed.

To use an analogy, just like turning on a faucet, something began to flow in Hua Wuming's body, and at the same time, a lock was opened, and a large amount of information poured into Hua Wuming's brain.

This is a magic that belongs to Hua Wuming, no, it has been possessed from the beginning.

Even without being taught, the way to sing this mantra came to my mind.

"Isn't the property water?"

"Yes and no."

"The property is air! Devotee Hua Wuming, please show Goddess Fatima the blessings she has bestowed. "

"Okay!"

Hua Wuming's body was wrapped in a light that was lighter than the pale blue of the water attribute.

The crowd began to laugh, but Hua Wuming was engrossed in using his magic.

"In the name of Goddess Fatima, let the air condense!"

Hua Wuming raised his hands and pointed into the air, and the square was filled with laughter.

"Hahaha, look, nothing happened!"

"Ahahahaha, of course the cat man's empty attribute spell doesn't work."

"A cat man with weak magic power, he is still an empty attribute, and he is finished."

Although the eyes of the crowd thought that nothing had happened, the magic used by Hua Wuming was indeed activated, and where Hua Wuming's hands were raised, the air condensed into an object about the size of a library book.

I guess the strength is only to the extent of expanded polystyrene.

Hua Wuming put down his hands, saluted the priest, and hurriedly left.

There was still the laughter of the crowd, which made Hua Wuming feel very embarrassed, and his cheeks were also red.

Although the empty attribute is considered a useless attribute, Hua Wuming will not give up the life of an adventurer that he has dreamed of since he was a child because of this disadvantage.

Listening to the priest's closing speech, Hua Wuming began to think about how to use the void attribute magic.
