Awakening

Later on, that night, upper they have finished eating dinner Angela took Tigreal in her arms and took him into his room. Angela lay Tigreal down on his bed and rolled up his blanket.

“Good night my child” she said, smiled and kissed his forehead.

“Good night mom.” Tigreal replied and closed his eyes.

Angela then walked out of the room and slowly closing the door behind her. She then went back to the dinning room and they are now having a conversation with her husband.

Meanwhile on Tigreals room after his mother closed the door, he slowly opened one of his eyes to peek and make sure that her mother really left. This is because her mother has caught her when he was younger that he is meditating during the night so his mother sometimes double check if Tigreal is really asleep. Now after verifying that her mother has totally left, he sits straight, closed legged, eyes closed and continued the process of forming his mana pool.  After a couple of minutes, the mana started moving slowly towards Tigreal then his expression change a bit. Then sweat started rolling down on his face.

“Just a little bit more.” Tigreal said on his mind. As the last bit of mana Tigreal needed has entered his body. Eventually a small white ball formed inside Tigreal’s chest indicating that his mana pool successfully formed.

At the same time in the dinning room Angela and Roger are still having a conversation, when suddenly a burst they felt a burst of energy coming from the other room followed by a sudden and quite big explosion. Roger with a quick reaction embraced his wife enhanced his defense and shielded her from the explosion and other debris that were sent flying. Realizing her son was on the other room, Angela immediately burst into tears and shoved her husband, tried to dive into the blazing room to save her son. But Roger held her hands immediately and rushed into the room. After clearing the debris that blocked his path Roger burst into laughter.

“Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!” Roger laughs that catches the crying Angela’s attention.

“Why are you laughing?” Angela asked her husband with bitterness in her face.

“Where is our son?” she added.

Roger then pointed his fingers upward and Angela turns her gaze to where her husband is pointing. Angela was dumbfounded at what she saw.

” Ha! Ha! Ha! He is a magician!” Roger exclaimed while still laughing.

“Honey, Tigreal is now a magician.” He repeated and look at his wife.

Angela burst into tears, but now it’s because of the overwhelming happiness in her heart.  Then Roger hugged his wife and they watch their son floating in midair, waiting for the awakening to finish.

As Tigreal slowly coming down, he opened his eyes and was shocked on the scenario that he saw.

“What the h*ck happened here.” He said in his mind while looking around.

Then Angela and Roger came to his side and hugged him tightly, and her mother is still in tears. Later on, while they are hugging each other, the other villagers came to see what is happening. The chief is also with them, as the crowd gathered Roger stood up and explained to them what happened. Everyone was in aww and they could not believe that Tigreal formed his mana pool at a very young age. After explaining what happened the chief dispersed the villagers and one by one, they went home.

The chief then went beside Roger.

“Take your family and let’s go to my house. You can stay there for the night.” The chief said.

“We will repair your house tomorrow with the help of the villagers.” She added.

Tigreal and his family is very thankful to the chief and they went over to the chief’s house to stay for the night. In the morning Roger and Angela is busy together with the other villagers who offered help in rebuilding their destroyed house. While they are working on the destroyed house the culprit is sitting idly under a tree looking up at the blue sky and watching the clouds pass by.

“No wonder human need to be in the age of thirteen to be awaken. The mana will slowly enter a person’s body as they grow.” Tigreal said in his mind.

“For me it took me a whole 2 years to form my mana pool despite using the method similar to ki gathering.” He added.

After the incident and the Travis family house has been reconstructed everything went back to normal. Angela is truly happy for her son but also as a mother deep in her heart she cannot cast away her worries.

“There is no doubt that my son will become an adventurer.” She said to herself.

“His father is Roger, surely he will follow his footsteps.” She continued talking to herself.

“He will soon leave s and go into dangerous places.” She said while looking at her son with a worried look.

“But he will surely become a strongman just like his father.” She said pacifying her feeling and easing her worries.

Time quickly passes by, Tig is learning from his mother how to read and write. Also, he is also learning the basics on how to use and manipulate mana from his father. At the beginning of their training since Tigreal’s body is small for a sparring they did some workouts first. Both father and son will wake up early in the morning and jog around the village. Then after breakfast they will continue training, Roger will help Tig while doing curl ups, they will both do push ups as well. Later on, after a Roger decided that Tig is ready to begin his real training thus Roger created a wooden sword that fits the size of Tigreal.

“Let’s continue Tig. I have your sword now.” Roger said excitedly while bagging the door. This startled Tigreal who is currently reading books in his room.

“Now remember what I have taught you.” Roger said when they are outside the house preparing for a sparring.

“Match your breathing with your mana. Your mana pool is just like another part of your body like your heart, liver or lungs.” He continued. While are just stand there holding his wooden sword and listening to his father. After that Roger squatted to slightly match Tigreal’s height.

“Come on Tig show me what you learned.” He spoke. Roger is holding a branch of tree as a weapon to defend from his son’s attack.

After hearing what his father said Tig went into his battle position. He closed his eyes then lift his sword and when he opened his eyes he dashed towards his father and started swinging his sword. Tigreal continued his attacks while Roger easily deflects them using the branch.

“Come on Tig, I know that you can do more than that.” Roger said, encouraging his son.

Tigreal was triggered by his father’s words. So. Tig immediately stopped attacking to concentrate. He gathered his mana in the sword and ten swiftly attacked his father Roger defended on time but to his surprise the branch that he is using to defend was sliced into two.
