9: Awakening

Awakening

Morning arrived, and Asher got ready for his awakening, which was arranged quite quickly despite his sudden request. Asher and Emmy got in the car and arrived at a teleportation gate near the southeast part of Soran, which was quite bustling with people going around.1

The car stopped around the two big semi-circular shaped stones with some blue glowing carvings on them, placed with one of them behind the other, forming a circle if you looked at it from the front side. This was the teleportation gate, which was used by the people to go to certain floating islands and faraway places.

Emmy got out of the car and signaled their security group to clear the premises. Asher got out of the car and moved towards and stopped at the circular runic carvings just below the teleportation gate. Their destination was the famous Mage Tower of the Mage Association, which was located on one of the floating islands in Soran.

"Why did Dad bother going to the Mage Tower for awakening? We could have done it in our mansion as well," Asher thought, remembering that in the past life, he awakened in their estate's Mana Room instead of going to the Mage Tower.

"Well, I don't dislike it, and the Mage Tower will have a better Mana Room anyway."

The reason Arthur chose the Mage Tower was that their Mana Rooms were the best in the whole world. And the awakening result would be easier depending on the Mana Quality concentrated in the room as well.

"It seems like Dad got quite excited over me awakening so much so as to go to the Mage Tower for a simple awakening," Asher said when he arrived at the Mage Association's floating island.

"It should at least be this much for Young Master. You simply deserve this!!!" Emma said in a proud voice while puffing her chest out. She always looked at Asher like a little brother who deserved everything in the world. Her mental image of Asher was of an innocent puppy whom she had taken care of since he was a five-year-old.

If someone had heard her thoughts, they would have screamed how the hell this cold devil looked like a puppy to her.

Asher was amused at her response. She had been quite loyal to him in the past life as well. As they were walking out, they got into another car from the teleportation gate and started driving to the Mage Tower. They reached the Mage Tower in 15 minutes as there was no speed limit on floating islands.

As everybody who was there was not a civilian but above F-rank hunters. They were able to cope with and react to high-speed cars running through the island.

Asher got out of the car and saw the sight of the marvelous white tower soaring high in the sky. The tower consisted of 100 floors, all imbued with space magic, so the interior was way bigger than what it seemed outside.

Arthur was waiting with Stephen, who carried a big square black suitcase, which carried a Mana Gem that would be used by Asher to awaken as a hunter.

"Asher, come here. We need to move to the 90th floor for the awakening," Arthur said while moving happily towards the lift. If anyone had seen him acting this way, they would have forgotten that he was the fearful Head of Greville, who was renowned as an S-rank Swordmaster.

They moved towards, passing through several floors and finally arriving on the 90th floor. Typically, the Mana Floor of this floor was reserved for the S-rank hunters of the world. Arthur used his special privileges and pulled some strings, and with a little bit of threatening, voila, it was done.

"Dad you know that this will cause some headaches in the future" Asher knew Arthur has probably pissed quite a bit of people to use these exclusive room just for an awakening.

"HAHAHAhahaahah, Don't worry this much trouble is nothing for us, and if somebody wanted trouble they can always come and greet my sword " Arthur said with confidence.
