Chapter 18 Part 2: Surprising Brother
(From Mc Perspective)
While we were having dinner together, Mum and Dad both looked at me. From their gazes, I understand that they want me to reveal the good news. But seeing their smile, I sighed. "Looks like I can't continue the suspense any longer?" I whispered to myself in a low tone.
On the other hand, Brian Carey is gulping down his food, unaware of their behavior.
Then I stared at my brother and said, "Brian, I have something to tell you?" I told him without any excitement on my face. While Brad and Lila Carey want to see their Elder son's reaction.
Listening to his brother's words. Brian straightened up his back and asked, "What's up? Is it about your awakening?
Hearing that I nodded my head. Before I open my mouth to reveal the news. My brother continued to say, "Don't worry? It's okay to be a regular. Nothing to be ashamed of" after uttering that he sighed deeply.
"Ha...Ha...Ha..." At this point of time, Lila Carey couldn't contain her laughter. While Brad Carey also smiled, shaking his head.
Listening to my brother's words. I became speechless for a moment. Good, brother. He really thought I'm a waste. And what's so good about being regular. This guy clearly knows the lifespan of humans is nothing compared to Mages. Even low level Mage have a better lifespan than healthy humans.
On the other hand, Brian stopped eating his food when he heard his mum's laughter. He was stunned. Earlier He thought the atmosphere was going to be solemn because of Vincent's failure. But, now he is really confused. He looked at his mother and asked, "Mom, What's going on?"
Lila Carey stopped smiling and looked at both of her sons. She then stared at Brian and revealed, " Vincent has successfully awakened his Mage Talent."

Lila's words rang like thunder in Brian's ears.
"What? Is it even real?" He was taken back completely.
Then he looked at his parents and brother's smiling face. "Goodness!" He mumbled under his breath. Then he said to Vincent, "Here I thought you had failed. So, I didn't ask about your awakening ceremony."
Brian added further, "So, How was it?"
"The Ceremony went well. I have awakened the Gravity power with Middle level talent." I said to my brother with a smile.
"Ting!" Brian dropped his silver spoon on the table.
"Why are you even joking on this matter? Tell me your real ability? " Brian inquired with a serious look on his face. He didn't even believe his words. He knew Vincent likes to joke around. He won't reveal until he presses further.
Seeing my brother's disbelief, I don't know what to say further. My cheap brother really thinks I'm a waste. So, without explaining him any further. I looked at my parents and said, "Dad, Mom! You guys can tell him"
Seeing Vincent's attitude, Brian too looks at his parents. Then both Father, Brad and Mum, Lila Carey explained the good news to him in detail. They have also informed him about Vincent's admission in Yellow River Academy at the Capital.
At first Brian's expression was normal, When Lila confirmed Vincent's successful awakening by showing his School's congratulatory message. Brian's expression changes drastically for good.
"Ha...Ha...Ha..." Brian laughed happily hearing that. "Vincent, I always had a suspicion in my heart. Born of Mage Family, How come you didn't awaken your talent during the first Ceremony itself?" He said with a slight emotion.
Then he added, "But, Now look at your success. I believe the first ceremony is not foolproof at all. People really can awaken their talent during the second ceremony. It's looks like some people really had dormant period (Slow awakening of talent ) in their life."
Brian naturally happy due to his brother's success. He knew both of his parents worked hard to save money for his college admission. The necessary qualifications for a Mage to admit into the college, One needs to have talent and background. If not background, you need to at least find a way to generate money.
He was really worried about his parents. They spent their entire savings on him. Due to that It already took a considerable toll on them. And they need to work overtime to save money for his younger brother too. Earlier, He mentally prepared himself to do some part time work to help his parents to ease some of their burdens. But right now, everything has changed.
Brian then looked at his parents and said smiling, "Mum, Dad, I think you guys can finally take some vacations."
Hearing my brother's words, I didn't say anything. But when talking about Mum and Dad. I also nodded my head in approval.
While Brad and Lila understood his meaning behind his words. It's true that they can relax here after. But they didn't say anything other than smiling.
Finally, Father Brad Changed the topic. "Vincent, What are your plans for the next two years until your college admission?"
Hearing that, I shook my head and commented, "I really don't know for the time being? But the Head Master earlier today told me that I will be placed in A Rank Division tomorrow."
At this time, Brian interjected by saying, " Since, you are going to be in A Class. It's a good opportunity for you to compete in a scholarship competition."
Hearing a surprise glint flashes before my eyes.
"Scholarship?" I said.
On the other hand Brian nodded his head and answered, " Yes, Scholarship for college. If you win the school will reward you with some good amount of money. But sadly, it's only available for people belong to A Rank Division."
Hearing that I nodded at first I didn't have any idea. But now I made up my mind to compete for it. At least, in this way, I can save some money for my parents.
At this time, Mom, Lila commented, "Oh, yes, Vincent. I forgot to tell you earlier. Our hospital's Legal Team 's Vice Head congratulated me for your awakening. She also wished, if there is any opportunity in future. You can work with Green Leaf Organization"
"Alright, Mom. It's both of your organization. If there is any opportunity in future. I will do it, don't worry about it." I assured her with a smile.f๐ฏ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐เซฆฮฝโฏฦ.co๐ฎ
