Chapter 3: Phenomenon

Zin was on his sleeping heavily, as the sun rose and many light rays starts to light up his room.

"zzz.. eh? It's morning already?"

"ZIN! Come eat your breakfast!"

Zin quickly dressed up and went out to eat with his family.

"Humph, I thought you said it was only for a few minutes. Turns out your 'few minutes' made him overslept, which he had never done before."

Hearing this Reynold was freighted, seeing how angry Erza was.

"Sorry sorry I forgot about the time when I was telling him the story. Also, it's not entirely my fault he kept asking me more questions."

Trying to make his punishment lighter, he decided to bring Zin into the problem.

"Eh? I never asked you any questions, why are you blaming me?"

Zin now wears a cute face that has a bit of tear coming from one of his eyes.

"Reynold! Shame on you for lying and blaming it on our son! Come in here right now it seems like I've been going too easy on you."

"Erza! Believe me! He really did ask me a lot of questions!"

"Humph! Children don't know how to lie. It seems like you're still trying to shift the blame huh..."

"No! Zin save your father, please! I'm definitely gonna die!"

Reynold plead Zin, as he was getting pulled into the room by Erza.

'Hahaha. Sorry Dad, Mom's too scary when she's angry'

Zin thought as he's now wearing on a sorry face.

'Welp! It's time for practice now. Where should I go head to for this?'

Zin ponders for a moment before heading to the forest.

"This should be a safe distance away from our house."

Ever since last night, Zin has had a bad feeling about his soul.

"Alright, let's see... so I have to gather mana to become an awakened. Where do I even start?"

He has come to the forest with no plan in mind at all.

'First, let me try to calm down and feel the mana in the air.'

Zin went into a meditative stance, and moments later he starts to feel the mana wavering around him.

'Wow! I can sense mana everywhere in the air!'

The excited child was now standing up staring into space with awe.

'What if I take in the mana? Since I have nothing to lose let's just do it!'

With that Zin started to bring in the mana from his surrounding into his body, more precisely his soul. After a few seconds, he started to sweat furiously, signs of pain, and terrifying mana can be sensed from Zin's body.

As he was taking in the mana, his surrounding started to show signs of movement. The trees that were still, are now swaying, while the powerful wind was blowing toward where Zin was meditating. A phenomenon was being stirred up.

***

Somewhere in the capital of the Human domain, seated an elder that seems to be over 70 years old with a white beard.

'Hmm? Seems like things are gonna get interesting soon...'

Suddenly the space distorted and a figure appeared in front of the elder.

"Hey, old man what's the meaning of this? Didn't you say this wasn't gonna happen for another 4 years? Why is it happening now?"

*Sigh*

"I'm in a predicament myself, but it seems like this little one's fate had been hidden by another expert."

"What?! Who's strong enough to even hide it from the Oracle of Emphia that we don't know of?! Even if there is someone strong enough for that, how haven't they been discovered?"

The man that had appeared out of nowhere was now full of questions, while the old man was still seated sipping his tea calmly.

"My guess is that someone must've put a seal on the one that triggered the phenomenon."

'Seal? Wait that means that they're not in the Human domain anymore.'

The man nodded as he realized what the old man meant.

"But a phenomenal like this was never recorded in the Book of Emphia."

The Book of Emphia has all the records and discoveries made by the awakened. Many said that this book had records of history traced back as long as 10,000 years ago. Only the Oracle of Emphia had this book, and even the royal family had to respect the oracle.

The old man is still sipping his tea while brushing his long white beard.

"There are two possible reasons... One is that this little one might be the greatest genius of all time or..."

Rumble!

Rumble!

As the old man watches the sight of the phenomenal his mood seems to lighten up. 'Hoho, this is a big catch for us. Should I go and fetch the little one as my student right now.' Even though he said that, Zin was already considered his student in the old man's mind.

"Or what? Old man, please stop leaving me hanging like this. I'm gonna die from curiosity!"

"Eh? Did I say two possible reasons? Hahaha, I meant one only. Ahh... My old age is catching up to me already."

"Stupid old man, you got me all hyped up for nothing! I swear I'll die, because of you one day!"

The space distorted again and the man that was standing there vanished in a blink of an eye. The old man was watching the sights as he brush his beard. 'This must've also caught the other's attention as well.'

'Humph. If they know what's good for them they shouldn't go near the kid.'

The old man finished his tea and got up staring in the direction of Zin. 'Tch, they already started moving. I must get there first!' Right before the old man left he muttered some words, that one would need to be next to him to hear it.

'I hope the second reason doesn't apply to you...'

The phenomenon was now reaching its peak and a huge storm that can be seen by the naked eye was brewing up. Many tree branches had long been ripped off and scattered all over the ground. The ground around Zin's was no longer, and now a huge crater can be seen with Zin seated in the middle.

'I'm almost there just a bit more, and I can feel it...'

The worldly mana had been continuously absorbed by Zin as he tries to awaken. Although the process was painful, Zin was gritting his teeth and enduring through it. Normally kids Zin's age won't be able to tolerate this amount of torture, but for some reason, Zin was able to keep going.

Before he went to training, he was just a normal child in his parent's embrace every day. In just a day he went from a normal child to someone who could trigger a phenomenon. Even in the Book of Emphia, there wasn't many phenomenon recorded, but yet Zin managed this feat.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Suddenly the ground was filled with cracks except for where Zin was sitting at. The storm was formed and animals could be seen running out of the forest. Even his parents started looking for him.

Zin burst opened his eye and stared into the space in front of him. In Zin's mind right now he was looking at an endless void, that can consume anything in its path. In the void, there were two knife-like weapons in it.

Although Zin was dumbfounded at this sight, unbeknownst to him, he had already started reaching for it. He felt like if he didn't grab the knife-like weapon now, he would regret it forever.

'Why can't I reach it? It's right in front of me!' Zin then thought of the idea of using borrow the mana in the void to push the knife-like weapon toward him. 'It worked! Just a bit more and I can get my hand on it!'

Rumble!

Rumble!

Thud!

Sounds of the storm and trees falling could be heard from everywhere in the Human domain. With a child, no less than 4 attempting to get a hold of his first aetheric weapon. By now there were many figures including the old man who was above the forest.

"Hey, Rock! You already got your hand on the fire boy with the upper-grade aetheric weapon, leave this one to me!" One of the men that seem to be in his 30s shouted out loud.

"Humph. Joak, be careful with what you're saying my student has nothing to do with the one that caused this phenomenon." Rock who is now staring down at the forest trying to find Zin.

"Tch. Don't be so greedy you already got a treasure, so let me have this one." Joak now has a serious face on, staring deadly at Rock not minding the stares he's getting.

"Hey, you two this isn't the time to be arguing, and who said this kid is yours?" One of the women stepped out as she established dominance against the others. The beauty seems to be in her 20s with a slender body and plentiful bosom, causing many people there to stare at her.

"Sophie is right, we shouldn't be arguing right now rather, how about we negotiate?" The man's name was Lucas, he looks to be in his 20s with a tall and muscular figure. He's also been chasing after Sophie ever since they were students. For 10 years, he had proposed to her over 15 times, which she refused to on every occasion. Lucas firmly believed that it was because they were too young so he kept persisting and followed her.

"Humph. Of course, you would be on her side, when have you never been on her side before?" Another woman with long black hair that flows down enhancing her bosom and waists. She was Amelia, Sophie's rival and they also attended the academy at the same time as Lucas.

"You again?"

"What do you mean by that? Are you pissed at me for speaking the truth?"

"Amelia... if you speak anymore, I'll truly get angry..."

"Hoho, I really want to see what it's like when you're angry"

At this point, Lucas was fuming, but he was restraining himself in front of Sophie. Amelia was pointing at his sour spot every time she got to. During her time in the academy Amelia had never liked Sophie, so she naturally also hates Lucas who was like a leech to her.

"Can you two shut up already? If you want to argue go back to the capital and do it. Stop wasting my time."

Sophie's patience was becoming thinner as she listened to their argument. She knew that if she doesn't step in it would last forever since the others are just watching this for entertainment. The two quickly shut up in fear that she would beat both of them up. ( Amelia had lost every single fight every time she dueled Sophie; which led to her fear for her.)

The phenomenon was reaching its climax when suddenly it was dispersed leaving behind a huge crater. Till now the ones in the air had no idea what was going on, after all the phenomenon was blocking all their senses.

"Hey, what's that in the middle of the crater?"
