Chapter 4: Awakening Ceremony Part-2
Inside Zynx Stadium, countless demon children, both noble and commoner stood, waiting for the awakening ceremony to finally begin. Damon stood continuing to make small talk, yet he could feel that although persons acted enthusiastically when speaking to him, they were completely hiding their emotions.
Damon’s newly improved body courtesy of his rewards allowed him to see the microexpressions of many people chatting with him, and his knowledge from two lifetimes easily allowed him to see fake sincerity from real sincerity.
Damon knew this was because his background was incredibly strong, however growing up he refused to participate in meetings with other younger generation nobles, as he knew what they would be a waste of time.
However, as Damon was making conversation, he sensed a massive amount of hostility directed towards him for a split second. Turning towards the direction of the hostility, Damon realized it originated from a younger Dragon sitting two seats away from the Divine Demon Emperor.
The young Dragon looked slightly older than Damon, and was also very handsome but not as much as Damon. He is rather tall for his age with blond hair and blue eyes that had a slit due to his draconic characterists. Damon wondered what he would look like in his natural dragon form.
If Damon remembered correctly, this young Dragon was Antares Flandre, he was the son of Damon’s father’s brother, Damon’s cousin. Damon knew that Antares had awakened not too long ago and had awakened Divine Grade 2 Star talent, and was the most talented of the Flandre families younger generation. He was basically guaranteed to become the next family head.
Unlike other families which chose their heads by inheritance or the choice of the current head, the Flandre Family, which is the ruling family among Dragons, chose their heir based on strength, and Antares would definitely become the strongest younger generational member due to his talent.
Damon was confused as to why Antares held such hostility towards him, yet he simply ignored it and turned away, remembering to keep that occurence in mind.
At this moment, a tall male demon entered the room. Although Damon was unawakened, he and everyone else could feel the terrifying mana pressure emitted from that male demon. It was overpowering, and made the very air thick. The male demon came to an elevated platform in everyone’s view and spoke.
"My name is Karthas, a Demon General under the Grand Marshall, and I will be conducting this Awakening Ceremony. As you all know, once your name is called, you will head to the room on the left and begin your awakening process. This process will be broadcasted to everyone through the Magical Camera’s." Karthus’ voice held immense authority and compelled everyone to listen immediately.
"First up, Thwain!" Karthus spoke. Immediately, a young man from a Noble Demon family who happened to be sitting two rows behind Damon. The rows were aligned with the ranking of the Nobles Children’s Families.
