….
Seeing this Andrew was undoubtedly a little bit shocked, this was the first time he had seen someone with 2 talents at one time.
He had heard of it on the news and such, however he didnt expect someone from his age bracket from his relatively small school to actually posses this kind of blessing.
"Damn, I kind of want both of them…" Andrew thought in his mind, he wasnt thinking it could get better than what Maya had already possessed.
Shaking his head, he realized he would only have one pick, and he knew not to get too hasty as there was still one more kid from an influential family that had yet to show up.
Just then, with 7 minutes left on the clock, the third figure showed himself.
In came a lean looking boy, with his baggy clothes on one might think that he was lanky and weak.
However his darker blue hair, incredibly sharp features and piercing gaze made one feel as though they were looking down a bolt of lightening in human form.
This boys name was Michael Dragonborn, considered one of the most handsome young men in his year, being a tad taller than Andrew.
Conversations ensued, and Andrew wasted no time to check his stats.

Andrews eye lit up seeing this.
"Hell most likely be my target for today, 3 benefits in one talent, thats not bad at all, i can definitely work with that for a little bit."
Quite frankly, Andrew wanted them all, but he knew in due time hed be able to get what he wished for, so he just had to be patient for the next few months after today.
Time passed what felt to be too slow for only having about 6 minutes left on the clock. 6 minutes felt like 60 minutes as everyone waited in anticipation.
One minute before the awakening ceremony was about to start. The auditorium doors closed, and the principle got on the mic.
Their principle was an older gentlemen by the name of Derek Coleslinger, he was a man with a mid level 5th grade strength talent, at peak qi refinement. Arguably the most powerful man in the school.
He was gonna be directing this years awakening ceremony, as was his responsibility to make sure nothing went wrong.
As he started to set up the platform, the curtains behind him drew back to reveal a particular kind of translucent but slightly milky white orb.
If one stared at it for long enough, it almost became captivating.
This was the talent awakening stone, something that had been used for generations leading up till today to activate an individuals talent.
A few facult member quickly brought the pedstal containing this orb over to the left side of the principal, inspecting it a few times to ensure it was in perfect condition for today.
The principal started ; "Hello everyone, im glad to see all of your faces today and i hope that everyone got a good nights rest in preparation for the ceremony." He spoke, with a mild amount of strength that permeated the entire auditorium.
He continued, "As you all are already completely aware, directly to my left is the awaiening stone, you will all come up and place both hands on the stone at once. You will feel your mind start to clear, and at that point the stone will start to glow before displaying the name of your talent as a projection atop the stone."
"I have very high hopes in this years class, I wish you all luck awakening…" he finished, before quickly dissapearing seemingly into thin air.
A faculty member walked up onto the stage, standing next to the awakening stone holding a thick notebook.
He was in charge of marking who awoke what kind of talent.
"Mhmm, okay students, we will now be calling each of you up to form a line in alphabetical order by last name, first Aidan Alexia, next Charlie Alexander, next…"
As all the students began to line up, the excitement and worry was evident by their body language alone.
Conversations rang about filled with hope and subtle words of encouragement from student to student.
Who didnt want to awaken a high level talent? You would have to be insane not too.
However, unfortunately for the case of most of these students, they would leave with broken hearts and mediocre outlooks on the future.
Just as the teacher got to the end of the list, he called out a name one time, then two times, then three times, but there was no reaponse. This name was Zachary Yueler.
He looked up and realized what was once a crowd infront of him was empty, before shaking his head, and crossing off the name.
Everyone had heard this name before, and hearing that he was a no show, everyone scoffed in subtle disdain.
"Who would even dare to miss this huge event, that kid Zacahary has always been such an odd one out", one student muttered to another one
"I cant believe that there are people who dont take this shit seriously, what an embarrassment to our school…" said another one, quite a bit louder not afraid of being heard.
To this, a lot of kids started laughing, meanwhile Andrew was contemplating.
"Zackary Yueler… i cant tell if that name is ringing a bell or not…" he pondered with a slightly strained look on his face.
He really couldnt remember if there was an odd fellow in his grade name Zachary, he kinda just did his own thing most of the time.
He knew mostly everyones faces, but he didnt bother with the names of people he didnt talk to, it was the same as when he went to high school in his past life.
"Well whatever, its his misfortune that hes missing out on something like this. I dont know who would ever want to wait on this but thats his choice." He thought once again, taking the information at face value.
Just then, the doors to the auditorium flew open with a bang.
A pale short teenager with dark black hair covering his forehead and his eyes walked in.
He was so out of breath you would think he was running for his life away from the mutated beasts, he was much skinnier than the other stydents in the school, his clothing was shabby and slightly tipped up in some places.
He looked like he just went clothing shopping in the dump yard, he apperance less than humble.
"Could i assume you are Mr. Yueler?" The teacher asked, with a face of slight dissapointment.
After the teenager caught his breath, he quickly spoke, "Yes, im so sorry for being late my house is kind of a distance from thr school…"
Meanwhile Zachary cursed to himself, "Shit, i cant tell him i overslept, id make a fool of myself in front of my entire school, furthering my title as 'the odd one out'…"
"Okay quickly get in line then, dont waste anymore time dwadling."
"Yes sir, i apologize once more." Zachary said, quickly walking down the aisle to the back of the line.
Conversations and whispers were rampant, nobody was trying to be discreet about it.
"This poor sap, coming late to the awakening ceremony is ballsy,"
"Heh, i bet he overslept, look at his condition he hasnt even washed his face off."
"Back to the slums for him after today for certain, hell never change his fate wirh that attitude…"
Andrew hearing this felt a little bit of pity, but he knew that this was not his problem, everyone had their own autonomy.
If he didnt wanna take care of himself and embarrass himself like this, it wasnt his issue.
Zachary hearing all this balled his fists in his shirt.
"Haha… after today ill show all of you whos gonna change their fate…" he thought as he rubbed the ring on his pointer finger with his thumb.
Just then andrew heard a ding, and the screen that popped up in front of him almost made him scream outloud in pure shock.
