Yesterday I've just fully awakened which was a big step forward but I still needed a bit of help in controlling and condensing my mana together to find out what attribute(s) I have. And in order to find out faster I need help, so I decided to tell my parents about it since they were going to find out sooner or later.

"What's up Alex? Why did you gather us here at the dining table?" Jame questioned. My mom finished doing her things and whipped her hands, sitting down on one of the chairs.

"Well I think it's better to show you then explaining." I said, standing in-front of them. Both of them had a curious expression of what I was about to do.

Absorbing and condescending the mana around me and onto my palm, it started to swirl and form into a light blue orb. The condensed mana made small *Whoosh* sounds as it swirled together on my palm.

As I let go of my concentration and the mana from the orb slowly scattering away, I looked up at my parents; both of them had faces that were mixed between shocked and happy.

"Wha- What?!" My father exclaimed as he stood up hurriedly, knocking the chair back several feet.

"W- When did you awaken?!" My mom stuttered. I sighed a big sigh of relief, I wasn't sure if they would like their child to awaken so early but it looks like I'm wrong.

"Yesterday night, I wanted to try it since the book I was reading taught me how to try and awaken ourselves." I explained. My father nodded in understanding that kids my age are always curious, but my mom on the other hand looked a bit concerned. Surely this was a good thing but it is also dangerous in its own way.

My father walked towards my mom and whispered something into her ear. After a few minutes my mom nodded and my father sat back down.

Sophia heaved a sigh, turning her attention back to me. "You have awakened faster than we thought, Alex. I really didn't want you to awaken this fast but I knew I couldn't hold you back since then I will only be a bad mother..." She trailed off.

"What your mother said was that we didn't expect you to awaken this early. We were planning to bring you to one of my old friends who can help you with your mana core." My dad explained.

"So when will I meet you old friends?" I asked excitedly. Sophia looked back at James and he just nodded, she sighed and continued, "We will bring you to them in 2 months, which is a bit after your 4th birthday." I nodded in understanding.

"Well we still have 2 months so you can train with us for a while until then." Jame added in.

"Now then, let's go head to training." James hurried outside.

"Wait, now?!" I said, surprised by how quick I was starting this training.

"Better earlier than later, no?" He smirked mischievously like a fiver year old child planning to do something dangerous.

"Now, here." He tossed me a wooden sword.
