Overpowered Clone Mage

Awakening Ceremony

"Wake up Elijah, it's time for you to go to school, or do you want to miss the awakening ceremony." A soft feminine voice said as she shook Elijah who was sleeping like a log of wood.

"Mmmm, I want to sleep a bit longer," Elijah muttered as he turned around on the bed.

"You've been sleeping for more than half a day, besides, you have to go for the awakening ceremony, so be a good boy and get up." The feminine voice said with a smile on her face.

"Sister, I want to..."

Elijah muttered, but all of a sudden, he stopped in between his words and his eyes opened almost immediately before he jumped out of the bed in fright.

"Sister, what are you doing here?" Elijah yelled as he looked at the figure, at the same time using the quilt to cover his body.

From his predecessor's memories, his sister was at the university, and as a result, she didn't get to come home except once a month, so yesterday, he had slept butt naked.

Emily rolled her eyes as she looked at Elijah with a smile on her face, "Why can't I come back?"

"But you weren't supposed to come back till about two weeks..." Elijah shuttered as he looked at Emily.

"I came back yesterday afternoon and met you sleeping, I didn't want to disturb you so I left you alone. But you'll miss the awakening ceremony if you continue to sleep this way." Emily said with a smile on her face.

"Alright, you should get ready and go to school for the awakening ceremony and see what talent you'll awaken, don't disappoint me brother." Emily laughed as she walked out of the room.

At that moment, Elijah realized that his sister had come back for his awakening ceremony and he couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart, back on earth, he was an orphan, his parents had died leaving him all by himself.

He had no one taking care of him, so he felt touched seeing Emily, coming back from the University which was far from their house just to celebrate his awakening ceremony. Pushing all matters to the back of his mind, he hurried out of bed as he was also excited.

As a modern person, he wanted to see what abilities he could awaken. He had watched many movies back on earth about people with magical powers and couldn't wait to awaken him.

"Elijah, eat something before you go. It's not too late." Emily called out from the kitchen seeing Elijah walking out of his room.

"Don't worry sis, I'll eat when I get back," Elijah said as he rushed out of the house.

In no time, Elijah got to school, the atmosphere at school was super different. Today was the awakening ceremony. As a result, many students who had come of age and were going to awaken today were very excited.

Elijah smiled as he walked to the large hall which was to be used. From his predecessor's memories, that was the place they were to use for the awakening.

Soon Elijah got to the hall, walking in, the hall which was big enough to accommodate a thousand people was now filled with people. On the podium were reserved seats obviously for people sent by the universities to snatch those who were able to awaken powerful talents.

Elijah smiled and sat in a corner as he waited for the ceremony to begin. His predecessor didn't have any friends because of his reputation. Elijah was feeling rather comfortable as he praised his predecessor in his heart.

Being lazy also had its perks, he was very comfortable at the moment and he couldn't help but thank him in his heart while he waited for the ceremony to start.

Soon, the principal of the school walked into the hall, beside him were the people sent to recruit young talent.

Seeing him, the hall immediately became silent as everyone became excited. The principal walked up onto the podium and gave a small speech, and soon the awakening ceremony began.

"Amelia Johnson."

The person in charge of the ceremony called as he looked at a long list of names.

Next, a tall girl around the age of Elijah walked to the podium, and placed her hands on the big blue stone, soon, a powerful red light shone almost illuminating the whole hall and everyone froze in shock.

"Fire ability; Talent excellent." The person in charge of the ceremony said as he looked at the girl in shock.

"Don't you know that she's from the family of fire mages?"

"It'll be strange if she also doesn't awaken a fire ability."

Many students began to whisper to themselves as they looked at Amelia in shock.

"Amelia Johnson, my name is Bradford Carter, from Boston University, if you join our university, we'll provide you the resources that'll cultivate you to a level one mage and also you'll have the full support of our university and study under the best lecturer in the university." A tall man stepped forward.

"Amelia Johnson, I'm Edward from Edgar University, though we can't promise to provide you with Cultivation resources to cultivate you to the level one mage, we promise we'll do our best." Another man, a short chubby man stepped forward.

Soon, the others also stepped forward and offered their benefits not wanting to lose out on such a talent. It would be a loss if they lost on such a talent.

After a while, Amelia finally accepted the offer of the person from Boston University before going back to her seat.

"James Edward." The person calling the names called the second name right after Amelia went to sit.

Soon, a tall lanky figure walked up onto the podium and put his hands on the big blue stone.

Soon, a black light shone, turning the place into darkness almost instantly.

Elijah frowned as he looked at the light, he couldn't understand what light was and what it represented.

His predecessor didn't care about books, as a result, he could recall any of the Elements which was said to emit a black light on awakening.

"Shadow element; Rare; Talent, excellent."

The man's voice came, bringing Elijah out of his thoughts.

Elijah nodded as he finally remembered what ability it was. The abilities were also divided, some were common and those were rare and there were also super rare.

The rare and super rare were also divided as there were some said to be useless. Even the super rare categories, like the fire and lighting elements which were said to be the strongest, were some said to be useless in their categories.

"Water element; Talent: Average."

"Space element; super rare; Talent: Average."

"Earth Element; Talent: Low."

The person calling out the names and talents said incessantly as he called out the abilities of students who came up to the podium to get their talents awakened.

Elijah watched lazily as the person called out the talents while waiting for his name to be called.

Out of the five hundred-plus students that had been called, only two students had awakened the super-rare elements which were the fire and the space element.

"Elijah Darkwood."

Elijah suddenly heard his name, at the same time, his body jolted violently as he stood up and walked towards the podium slowly.

"Isn't that Emily's Younger brother?"

"Yes, I bet he's going to awaken either the lighting element just like his sister or the fire element."

"He's lucky, he has a good bloodline, there's a chance that he might awaken both elements."

"Don't you think it's impossible, only freaks can awaken two elements at the same time."

Whispers went all around as everyone looked at Elijah expectantly, even though he was known for his lazy attitude, they still wondered if he would be able to awaken a super rare element.

Getting to the podium, Elijah braced himself and put his hands on the big blue stone. Immediately, he felt a surge of energy rush into his body. The next moment, a formless light lit up and spread all around the place.

"Huh?" Everyone froze seeing this.

The person calling out the names was even more shocked, but soon, his expression changed as he looked at Elijah in disgust, and then he called out coldly.

"Clone ability; Super Rare; Talent: excellent.”
