In Howard Bolton's heart, Frank Morgan is his big brother. Although his magic grades are very poor and he got into the magic high school through alternative means this time, he absolutely does not want to see Frank Morgan's awakening be worse than others.

The nine years of compulsory magic education are actually to lay the foundation for awakening, and also to provide all kinds of theory for future cultivation, so that one won't be clueless during practice. If you don't study well, on one hand, awakening might fail, and on the other, your cultivation will come to a standstill.

Frank Morgan took a step forward, passing through the crowd.

"That's him, right? Seems like he got in through the back door."

"Who is that? He's actually pretty handsome," a cute little girl asked.

"He's a really lousy student. I used to be in the class next to his," another girl with a mushroom haircut and a big mouth said.

"I see, then his awakening is probably going to be bad."

"Whether he can even awaken successfully is still a question."

"I say, you guys from the Holy Light and Ling Water elements, don't be discouraged. Just wait and see this classmate Frank Morgan's awakening and you'll feel much better. This guy scores in the single digits on exams, his foundation is terrible, and his awakening is very likely to fail." At this moment, Samuel Carter and Howard Bolton were so angry they just started mocking loudly.

After he said that, those from the Holy Light and Ling Water elements really did perk up. If someone actually failed their awakening in such a bizarre way, it would really be... comforting.

"Quiet!" Steven Shaw glared at the troublemaking Samuel Carter.

Brian Murray's lips curled up slightly. What he wanted was for Frank Morgan to make a fool of himself in public. This guy is just a loser—what right does he have to get close to Miss Nancy Murray? He himself is so handsome, so talented in magic, and works so hard. Nancy Murray should be much closer to him.

"Loser, I heard your family sold their house just to support your awakening. If you fail, you might as well just jump into a river and end it all, so you don't bring shame to your family." Brian Murray whispered as Frank Morgan walked past him.

Frank Morgan glanced at Brian Murray, suppressed the urge to curse this idiot, and walked up to teacher Steven Shaw.

"Frank Morgan, put your hand here," Steven Shaw said in a calm tone.

As the homeroom teacher, Steven Shaw actually knew this student's situation very well...

In the magic high school entrance exam, he was basically at the bottom. He only got into Tianlan Magic High School because of instructions from above. According to what Steven Shaw knew, Frank Morgan came from an ordinary family, had no background, no talent, and his grades were so bad they were hard to look at. Having a student like this in his class was a headache—it would easily drag down the overall class evaluation.

Sigh, nothing to be done, just his bad luck. Hopefully this kid doesn't actually fail his awakening, or he'd really become the laughingstock of the whole grade.

Frank Morgan's hand was trembling nonstop; he was still a bit nervous after all.

"Steady, don't shake," Steven Shaw reminded.

Frank Morgan grabbed his right hand with his left, and finally managed to place his palm on the awakening stone.

It was very cold. Maybe it was because the last person awakened to the Ice element, but the whole awakening stone felt icy...

Huh? Wait, why is it starting to tingle and heat up?

"Close your eyes and feel your spiritual world!" the homeroom teacher Steven Shaw said.

What a problem student—he doesn't even know the basic procedure.

Frank Morgan hurriedly did as told and closed his eyes.

The so-called spiritual world is a void that appears in your mind when you close your eyes. Normally, people will keep imagining things in this void, like movie scenes, with blurry images appearing. But when you completely empty your mind and think of nothing, your mind is just a void, like a night sky without stars.

There's nothing in the spiritual world, but just as Frank Morgan placed his hand on the awakening stone, he could feel a surge of electric power...

This power traveled from his palm through his whole body, and then, as if it had some magical force, suddenly drew a purple arc across the void of his spiritual world—brilliant and dazzling, shaking his soul!!

Chapter 6: Innate Dual Elements (Part 2)

A faint glimmer appeared in the void of the spiritual world. Frank Morgan focused on sensing it, and suddenly discovered a tiny speck of stardust in the void.

Frank Morgan was overjoyed!!!

This stardust is extremely important for a mage; it's the key indicator of a mage's cultivation. It exists in the mage's spiritual world—the larger the space it occupies in the void, the higher the mage's cultivation!

Within this stardust, Frank Morgan could already see something lighting up. It seemed to be a small patch of purple stardust. Compared to the entire spiritual world, this stardust was indeed as tiny as dust, but this also meant that his awakening had not failed. The book clearly stated that as long as there is stardust in the spiritual world, no matter how faint, you've damn well awakened successfully!!

Hahahaha, who said I would fail my awakening!

Didn't I just awaken successfully?

I really want to see the twisted faces of Samuel Carter and Brian Murray right now.

Huh?

Wait, what color is the stardust?

It's not red. What a pity, I didn't awaken the Fire element.

Red stardust represents the Fire element.

Cyan stardust represents the Wind element.

Brown stardust represents the Earth element.

Blue stardust represents the Water element.

Gold stardust represents the Light element.
