Taking the Mafia to the Magic World-Chapter 27: Lauren’s Result

"Wow! A yellow Magic Gem!"

"Not only that, that gem has a different shape! Look, it looks like a pentagon!"

Voices boomed in the galleries of the Awakening Temple as the first young people on the awakening platform had their gems take shape.

Most of the people in that place were forming ordinary Magic Gems, in triangular, square, and circular shapes, usually in red color.

But some formed slightly different gems, and one of these young people even got a yellow gem!

The color of the gem was related to the quality of the talent, so by presenting a Yellow talent, that blond-haired young man immediately stood out among the many ordinary people there.

People with yellow Magic Gems had good potential compared to most people in this world. If they were lucky and worked hard, it wouldn't be impossible for them to become Mages!

As for the pentagonal shape, this was a gem variant not as common as those three shapes. As such, when that young man won it, everyone started talking about him.

The shape of the gem was not related to talent, but talent could be enhanced by some powers.

By gaining a Magic Gem of a rarer shape, this boy's abilities would naturally be more unique than those of people with the most common three forms.

Through this, he could more easily reach the 3rd stage!

"Incredible! The youngster over there is not bad at all." Someone on the top floor of this building said this while watching from his exclusive room the Awakening of this group. 𝚋𝚎ｄｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.ｎ𝚎𝚝

"Indeed, we can recruit him later." A red-haired man said this while standing behind the other person sitting in an armchair.

The Awakening was not only a time for children to level up and gain mastery over their mana. It was also a time for regional forces to recruit talent!

In general, people with Magic Gems in the three most common formats and the colors Red, Orange, and Yellow did not have much potential, and their limit would probably be the 5th Acolyte Triangle.

However, youngsters with Gems in other formats and of Yellow color or higher had the potential to exceed this limit.

With the potential to become Mages, that young man was interesting to draw into local forces!

For these forces, people with lower potential did not attract their attention, so they did not recruit such people. But Mages could be considered experts in this society.

So there would always be observers in temples like this one to do the work that these people there were interested in doing after the Awakening Ceremony was over!

Vicente looked momentarily at that young man who was already grinning from ear to ear, noticing how this person's Magic Gem had formed something relatively unusual.

But he didn't think much of that person and turned his attention back to Lauren.

"What's taking so long?" He muttered to himself.

The woman next to him heard this and said. "The Awakening usually lasts less than a minute. But it can vary greatly from person to person.

Some will awaken after only a few seconds. Others will take the whole minute.

Usually, this is associated with two things. One, the talent and magical form. Those with promising talents and more refined magical forms usually need more time to finish their Awakening.

The other case..." She paused for a moment, looking at Lauren uncertainly. "The other case is associated with the inability to finish the Awakening.

Attracting a Magic Gem is not enough to finish or say the Awakening was successful. One has to display the shape and color of his gem to be considered awakened.

So there is a possibility that someone who has drawn a gem fails and cannot awaken their abilities."

As she finished saying this, Vicente clenched his fists and took a deeper breath, fearing that this was the case for his sister.

Considering all that had happened and his family's endless bad luck, he didn't think that possibility was behind the delay in the formation of Lauren's Magic Gem.

"Lauren..."

Meanwhile, Lauren felt her entire body warm, noticing the mana in her agitated as if it were water bubbling up.

Except for her eyes, every part of her body was burning to the point that she was almost screaming in pain. But her pain was not excruciating to the point that she had to show the world her weakness.

No, for someone who had been through everything she had experienced in the past few months, this would have to be much worse to make her open her mouth and scream.

So to everyone in the surrounding area, her pain went unnoticed, while she strangely kept her inexpressive expression.

Her eyes remained closed, and she was motionless, with her hands clasped but not showing any force.

Simultaneously, her mind was spinning while a craving to vomit came and went, trying to bring her down somehow.

'What is it? Why am I feeling so strange?' She wondered, holding herself together so as not to miss the opportunity to awaken her abilities.

Lauren didn't expect much from her Awakening but believed she had enough to get a fully formed Magic Gem. Not getting it would be a surprise to her.

At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder because the sensations she felt for her body were not described in any of the books she had come into contact with at the Academy of Stars.

But the situation in her body drew the attention of a man watching the platform.

A person fully dressed in black, with his face covered and alone on the top level of that place, in one of the VIP rooms, stood up and closer to the glass wall in front of him.

'This girl...' His eyes narrowed, and he could see the mana flow in Lauren's body. 'Hmm, let's see what you will form.'

He saw her mana concentrating on her forehead and stood watching, seeing little by little that glowing thing on her forehead diminishing in its intensity.

The Magic Gem merged with Lauren at that moment, with only 5 seconds left before the end of the Awakening Ceremony.

When it successfully connected to her, its glow diminished until the first people noticed Lauren's magical form!

"What?"

"That..."

"That's the Scythe!"

All the men and women in the last level of the Awakening Temple stood up to gaze at this very rare form of Magic Gem.

As they voiced, the gem on Lauren's forehead stopped glowing, revealing the shape of a fingernail-sized Scythe in an extremely vivid Green.

"Green! Green talent!"

"Amazing! I never thought I would see something so unique and beautiful!"

"This girl has a victorious future ahead of her! With this Magic Gem, she will become a Mage in a few decades!"

Immediately comments on all temple levels boomed, making the previously silent surroundings extremely noisy.

Vicente saw this and almost cried with happiness for his sister, feeling the tension from moments ago go away as joy flooded his heart.

"Green! Plus, the shape is unusual!" He said as the woman beside him looked seriously at Lauren. "Miss, my sister is a genius!"

However, that woman was not so happy for Vice and Lauren. "Hmm, I just don't know if this is a good thing for her, kid..."

When she said that, three people suddenly appeared in Lauren's surroundings the instant after the day's Awakening Ceremony ended.
