Chapter 3: Chapter-3 Alex Norton: Part 2

Well, to be exact, I was not the real Alex but Robert. I was one of the victims who died 500 years ago during the biggest earthquake. I was a university student trying to finish my M-Phil studies in Physics.

During the earthquake, I was attending a seminar which was held on the 50th floor in a hotel. The hall was quite big and there were more than a hundred people attending, same as me.

That was the time when darkness spread everywhere and hotel building started to shake. And slowly it started to crumble. Along with the thousands of people in the building, I was also crushed under the building and died an unfortunate death.

The last thing I remembered before I died was that the floor started crumbling and I fell down. I thought I died but I woke up three years ago from the present time. Alex, whose body I was inheriting, died due to a heart attack after hearing the death news of his parents.

And somehow, I don't know how, but I ended up waking inside his body. I had my old memories with me but there was nothing related to the real owner. All I knew was that his name was Alex, which I only found out from his school card.

At first, I wasn't able to recognize Jay and his parents either, which caused them to believe that I lost my memory due to the shock of my parent's death, which made me sigh with relief.

We still talked like before as both of us were living in the same building. Jay told me all about Alex's past and that's how I came to live as Alex from then.

Yesterday, after I came out of school, Jay was waiting there at the school gate for me. After seeing my condition, Jay took me home by holding me up all the way back.

Jay was also the one who applied medicines to my wounds. As the medicines were just non-magical items, bruises still remained after the night's rest.

Jay left me alone after taking care of my wounds and didn't pester me further after finding out the reason for the injuries.

"I was running to meet you outside the school as I was a bit late. And you already know the reason for being late," I replied in a slow voice.

"Sorry, man. I wish we could have left the class at the same time, but I had to go to the teacher's office," Jay whispered to me, apologizing.

"Anyway, are you ready for tomorrow's awakening ceremony?" Jay asked, leaning forward a bit more.

"I'm already pretty nervous about that. My stomach is starting to hurt right after you asked," I replied, holding my stomach and acting like I was in pain.

Magic Awakening Ceremony, also known as the ceremony to be a Mage or Awakener, has been 500 years since the first disaster struck mankind in the form of magic or mana. Mana entered the Earth's atmosphere a few years after the ''Black Day''.

The day when sunlight disappeared in broad daylight for a few minutes and high intensity of energy wave was detected. That energy was actually mana which humans weren't able to understand in the start. But when mana entered the Earth's atmosphere, a mutation occurred all over the world.

Monsters started to mutate, grew bigger, and became ferocious. They started to attack humans and kill them. This was later called as the Evolution.

But animals weren't the only ones who went through a big change. Humans started to evolve too, albeit at a very slow rate.

Those who were awakened started to wield the magical powers like making fire and water out of thin air just by using magic powers.

The counterattack against the evolved monsters began, but it was already so late by then. Billions of humans had already perished at that time.

The evolution in monsters was a lot faster than in humans, due to that why we were at a disadvantage even during the counterattack.

Just as they were talking to each other, the whole class went silent at once. Both of us looked up to see the reason for the sudden silence and realized that a girl had just entered the room.

She had purple hair reaching all the way to her waist. She had piercing eyes like a sword having the same color as her hair. She was at the top of the class; Olivia Bolton. She was from the Bolton family, aka Bolt, who are one of the five great families in this city.

She is one of those students who have the highest chance to get a high-tier element during the awakening ceremony. Her family is famous for awakening the Thunder element. She sits down in the front row.

Just as I thought that class was going to be noisy again, another girl entered the class through the front door. She had red hair reaching her shoulders. Her red eyes looked like breathing fire. She is Ana Blaze from the Blaze family.

Blaze family is famous for being the Fire Users. They are among the top 5 families in the city holding down the fort.

The third one to enter the class was a quiet type guy named Rio Walker. Walker or Wind Walkers are known for their wind type elements, among the top families in the city.

Almost the whole family is proud of their mastery in using the wind element to their best. They have the best agility when it comes to running. Well, some say they run fastest when it comes to abandoning someone during the fight.

The fourth one to enter was a slender but beautiful girl, Aki from the Akira family. Her whole family belongs to the Healer types. Akira family is famous for awakening the Light element which is always used for Casting Healing spells.

The last one to enter was a bulky guy who didn't look like a teenager rather an Adult. He had an arrogant aura around him. There were 4 hooligans following behind him like servants.

Leo from the Regal-Clan, who are famous for having Lion Bloodline. The Lion bloodline enhances all the attributes by a few folds and changes the outer appearance, like a lion. This family is the second strongest in the city right after Bolton family.

Hierarchy is always present no matter the era or place. The same goes for the remaining classes in B-Section. Alex is from class seven and there are six more classes above that one. All the classes are dominated by these top families.

But there is no bullying in the B-Section because all of them are non-awakeners. The school places high value on those who are going to be awakeners soon.

But everything changes when a person awakens his element and then transfers to A-Section. There are ten different classes in A-Section starting from 1 to 10.

After awakening, students are enrolled in those classes based on their affinities with the Magic element. If one has the lowest affinity, they will be put into the last class no matter the element.

That's why everybody prays that they can get high affinity even if the element can be a trashy one and is of no use.
