Reincarnated in another world as twins

The Five Year Ceremony (part2)..........

The priests called out the names of children participating in the ceremony. They were called according to the sequence of their birthday. Paige being the oldest was the first one to be called out. The priests called out names one after another until everyone was in line. It took 15 minutes to form the six lines. The population of children present there were 338.

All the children were then showed the way to the hall where the Pope was prostrating as he offered his prayers to the god of light. Children were told to sit on their respective seats.

This ceremony was a huge event in Tellestia, it starts at the morning and continues till the evening after which the kids and their parents are allowed to enjoy the festive streets. The kids who showed great affinity in elements magic were scouted by the respective departments which wanted the talents. The most hard to find light and dark elements were highly demanded by the church so whenever there was a child with such affinity they would use all their resources to have them.

The ceremony started with a person with brown hair, red eyes wearing a crown offered his prayers to the god. After praying he stood up and walked upto the centre, knelt down to prostate and softly started his speech, "Today on this auspicious occasion I king of Felicia Haelan Delbert Felicia pray to the God of Light Arell to bestow upon these young ones his most divine fate. So, they carve a better future for themselves."

Afterwards he stood and face the people, bowed his head then faced the Pope, bowed to him and walked towards his seat. The way the handsome man walked to his seat was elegant and sophisticated making the people who were watching the man mesmerized with his looks and elegance.

As the king walked to the front the boys recognised the man from before leaving the two of them stunned. The handsome uncle they met before was actually the king in disguise.

After the king has taken his seat the Pope took the stage as a crystal ball was brought at the centre of the altar. A line of kids were took to the end of the aisle and were told to walk to the crystal ball when their names will be called. The priests who were explaining the kids about the ceremony were quite polite and gentle as they explained it to the children and in the end inquired the kids whether they understood it or not. The kids nodded 'Yes' in reply.

A young priest who was standing behind the Pope loudly announced the first name, "Paige Hollis, Son of Githa Hollis and Evelyn Hollis please step forward." Paige walked to the front and stood infront of the crystal ball. Pope looked at the boy and smiled sweetly as he said, "Child put your hands on the crystal ball." Paige followed the instructions and the crystal ball started shinning brightly in purple colour.

Watching the crystal ball shine brightly the eyes of the mother of the boy was filled with tears of joy as she covered her mouth with her palm.

The priest announced in a loud voice as another priest wrote down the information, "Paige Hollis, Strengthening magic,  Level 7."

The generals who were present there at the moment all had a bright smile on their faces. level 6 or above were hard to come by these levels were as rare as dragons. Thus, all the generals were aware that the boy would be an important asset and has started to plan how to recruit him first.

One after another many kids were tested for their nature of magic but there was nobody who could have beaten Paige yet. The highest level achieved after Paige was level 5. Even though the level 5 was not as good as 7 but a person can raise his level later on and those in level 5 can raise their level till level 8 or 9.

"Ambert Lucian Felicia, Son of Haelan Delbert Felicia and  Sebille Von Wynnfrith Felicia please step forward."

The boy shyly walked to the crystal ball and touched it with his hands and closed his eyes in nervousness.
