Chapter 5: Entering the Trial Rooms!
"Okay, now you should go back; otherwise, Vice-headmaster Wu might get here and pull you guys. Don't let your classmates wait." In the end, Han Yu pointed his finger at the first group that was waiting impatiently and instructed Han Bing'er and Han Lei to go back.
"Okay, eldest cousin, wish us the best of luck!" Both of them waved their hands and rushed to the First batch.
It was just a small episode, but Han Yu once again became the focus of everyone's attention.
He did his best to keep quiet and even sat in the last row to hide his presence, but it seemed to be destined.
First, Feng Fu raised the wind, and then his troublesome cousins pulled the dust.
He's not afraid of anyone, nor does he feel disturbed, but over the years he is assumed to have peace and tranquility.
Nevertheless, he knew this time he was bound to become the public attention, after all when everyone found out that he had awakened as an Imperial Spirit Master on his third trial, it would not cause a small stir in Yangwu city's elite circle.
Naturally, in order to minimize the after-effects, he has already made the preparations. All he needs to do is to wait now.
On the other hand, Han Bing'er and Han Lei reunited with the first batch, and the middle-aged man who was Vice-headmaster Wu, also called Teacher Wu, left with the first batch of students to the awakening trial hall under the reluctant gazes of young students in the main hall.
Just after they left, ten minutes later, another teacher left her seat, and like before when Teacher Wu called the name, she also had the list in her hand.
She again called the second batch of students one by one until the quota of sixty-two students was filled.
Unlike before, this time she called all the remaining students of the A1 class, after all, she is the head teacher of class A1.
These sixty-two students were feeling low because they didn't get the chance to get the awakening potion, but still, their faces were full of confidence.
Their class always showed the best results out of any other class, so they are not totally frustrated just because of not getting an extra potion.
After their names were called, they stood near the main door, like the first batch students, but their head teacher didn't let them move, thus they could only stand there and wait for the order from their teacher.
"Students, keep quiet! I've something to inform you; because awakening trial takes time, the academy has prepared a few waiting rooms, including snacks." Teacher Shanshan of class A1 said as she passed an encouraging smile to her students.
"Shortly, respective teachers would lead their students to destined waiting rooms, and you guys would need to wait there until your turn; make sure to stay there and not to go anywhere, otherwise, if you miss your turn, you could only be placed at last."
Hearing her claim, students looked at each other and said to her; "Teacher, we understood!"
After hearing her student's positive response, she went away. Likewise, other teachers also informed the remaining students.
Although it seems like favoritism, but it's not.
Because the awakening trial hall of Azure Cloud Academy is not big; at most, it could accommodate a hundred students at a time.
However, because the first batch was the best students in Azure Cloud Academy, they indeed have some preferential treatment in this regard.
In the entire class A1, there were a total of eighty-four students, and out of them, twenty-two students were selected for the first batch, and the remaining sixty-two students were not bad either.
The A2 and A3 classes each had one hundred and three and one hundred and forty-seven students, respectively.
Each student is waiting for their awakening trial impatiently, although they are somewhat worried too for their future.
"Young Master Han, let me lead you to your waiting room." A young teacher went forward and politely said after he explained slightly.
Anyone could see that the young teacher was not only polite but even a hint of awe and respect could be seen in the depth of his eyes.
Although this teacher's sudden action amazed many young students, many older students and teachers found it normal.
Even a few female teachers cursed in their hearts that young teacher, as if he had done something awful and against women's rights. (LOL - don't you ladies and gentlemen dare to take it negatively).
"Thank you, would appreciate that teacher...please. Feng Fu, don't sit there in a daze, let's go." Han Yu nodded in response as he stood from his seat, as he patted Feng Fu's shoulder gently.
--------
As the students in the main hall were sent to the waiting room to wait for their turn, the students of the first batch had already entered the awakening trial hall.
The awakening trial hall was just built as an underground building.
The entire underground building is made of a special metal structure and natural spirit marble in white texture.
The entire awakening hall seems to be white and spotless, with some bluish-black metal structures set in the entire underground building, which supports the building uniformly.
The awakening trial hall has around a hundred special metal-made rooms, these rooms are set in accordance with the underground building in the central site.
These rooms are made of special metals not just for show; rather, they are unique kinds of metals, known as 'Silver Spirit Metal,' which is a unique metal and is a very good conductor of profound spirit energy.
Profound spirit energy is the main constituent energy that is used by all of the creatures on the Amberstar planet.
This special energy is desired by every organism, to survive on this land and to become stronger.
No matter if it's Imperial Spirits, Imperial Spirit Masters, or even Spirit Warriors, all need this special energy to become powerful and to survive as well.
Even with the advancement in technology, this energy is almost used in every industry.
Using this energy has many ways, and usage of profound spirit energy for the awakening trial rooms is indeed a brilliant idea that comes true after the many failures and trials.
Before the awakening trial rooms, the Imperial Spirit Masters, or Spirit Warriors, who were ranked above Silver Rank needed to move personally to awaken the young ones.
And not only did it consume a lot of their strength, but it even took a lot of time as well.
Because they would require adjusting the synergy from time to time while in the awakening process. So overall it took a lot of time and stamina for the Silver Rank masters too.
In some cases, if there is a slight deviation, it could even lead to the student's or young fellows' death or severe injuries.
Thus, after continuous trials and failures, the awakening trial rooms were made.
It was an extremely brilliant idea that was turned into reality with the sheer hard work of predecessors.
These rooms are made in a way that they can automatically match the frequency of the person who is undergoing trial and stimulate their bodies to absorb the profound spirit energy that is discharged by the room itself.
The entire building is under special formation and setup devices that could provide enough energy to each room, even the entire building.
So, no matter how high the requirement for energy absorption is for an individual who is undergoing an awakening trial, these rooms can provide enough of it without disturbing the person from another room.
As the students were curiously looking left and right after entering the building, the teacher Wu spoke in a sonorous voice, "Young fellows, there are a total of a hundred rooms here; to start the process, you need to follow the instructions you were taught in the class."
"These rooms are automated, and once you enter, you can use the voice-reco system to communicate with us outside."
While saying this, he paused and again pointed towards the left side of the building where a few glass pods and rooms are set and said, "See those glass rooms? There is a team of special senior research professors stationed here."
"They will monitor your stats while you are undergoing the trial process, so if during the trial process you find any difficulty, make sure to call them if needed. Understood?"
"Understood, teacher Wu!" The group of students said excitedly as they were looking towards the silverish rooms.
"Good that you understood; I'll also enter the glass room and monitor with them. You guys choose an awakening room and start the process as soon as possible; everything now depends on yourself!"
As Teacher Wu said, he left the students and moved towards the glass rooms where the research professors are stationed.
After he went away, the students looked at each other for a minute, and then a student spoke, "Everyone, let's not wait further; everyone enter their respected rooms and start the awakening process. Make sure to take the awakening potion at the last step; don't consume the potion directly, as it won't have the best effect overall. In the end, best of luck, everyone!"
The young man said and decisively moved to the awakening trial room without looking back.
The other saw his decisive action, also moved one by one.
Han Lei looked at the back of the young man who went after saying a heroic line and asked Han Bing'er, "Sister, do you think Li Ping would be able to set the record this time... It's said that the headmaster has very high expectations for him, even like the eldest cousin who was trained by him personally..."
"Humph, Li Ping is good, and maybe he'll be able to set a new record, but compared to my eldest cousin, he's nothing. It should be you who needs to be worried; if you don't get a good result, I'll also take your gift from the eldest cousin for myself. Han Bing'er obviously had a disgruntled expression on her face; she just said and moved to the awakening trial room next to her, without caring for her brother's expression.
On the other hand, Han Lei, warily smiling, shook his head and moved towards the trial room.
One by one, all the fifty students went into their respective trial rooms.
Just as the doors shut after they entered, the research professors looked at each other and started the room formations, and all the fifty trial rooms where the students entered gleamed with a silverish-white glow, and everything returned to normal after less than a minute; just the blue light on each of the rooms shone, which indicates that the awakening trial process is started.
