The awakening
For the sake of my loved ones I can't give up. The moment I charged toward them, I felt power from my belly toward my limbs, a single punch from my hands sent them flying ten meters away ,they were with mere weapons, my speed suddenly increases, not even a single person could touch my cloth, they were knocked down by me before they could touch me. My fighting force continued increasing until I overpowered them all. I sprinted toward my school, I had fought against a large number of people, time has gone, it was now few minutes to 8am. When I reached the exam hall, I tried to enter but was stopped by the invigilator, I checked my wrist watch, it was still 7: 58 am, I wasn't late. Go back , you are late" he said demonstrating with his hand waving that I should go back.
"but sir, this is 7: 58 am"
"Look boy, I call the shot here, not you, so don't try to teach me my work, if I say that you are late then you are lately" the invigilator stated arrogantly.
"Is that so" a voice replied mockingly from outside.
"you are welcome sir, I never knew you were coming, I will have welcomed you in a grand way, please pardon me if I have offended you in any way" the invigilator spoke with caution trying not to offend the dignitary both rather get to good side of him and establish a close relationship.
"I was watching the time; he came here by 7: 58 am, although it is currently 8am now. He encountered difficulty on the road while coming, please can you give him a chance to sit for the exam" The man said. His voice was calm, although he suppressed his Aura but the leak of aura from was real l ba and Oba " you can go in and sit for your exam"
Everyone has sat already for the exam.
The computer based test exam stared and after one hour and 30 minutes, the invigilator called up the students attention.
"30 minutes to submit", the invigilator announced".
Obafemi checked his system, it was just 30 minutes remaining,. Suddenly a fight broke out between two classmates close to oba, al these was just planned by Bryce. They broke oba's writing digital equipment, that was in form of a transparent tablet. The fight stopped immediately they have succeeded, the warrior master had gone back to the dean office and the invigilator was in cahoots with Bryce from the beginning, he has been bribed by Bryce to make oba fail in the exam. To avoide suspicion the invigilator sent the defaulters out of the exam hall in other to avoid being queried by the school authority, Obafemi was giving a new tablet to login, he logged in but less than 20 minutes was remaining, his previous answers has wiped off. He started afresh to answer the questions, he was tring to meet up with time. He started sweating,his answering speed suddenly increased, he was almost done, just five question remaining, five seconds was remaining, then he submitted immediately. His body system has overstressed beyond limit, suddenly he fainted. He was immediately rushed to the hospital. When Bryce saw what happened, he smiled wickedly that he has taken his revenge.
Obafemi's POV
I gently opened my eyes and I discovered that I was in an unfamiliar place, white walls, I was no longer on my uniform, but patient wear, this must be a hospital, what really happened, it seems i had fainted during exam. I looked at a table in the room, there I saw a piece of paper and a pen, I needed it to write and calculate something, I noticed something amiss, the pen wasn't resting on the table, it was hanging on mid air. I stretched hand toward it and I noticed that it was moving toward me in the air. It caught me by surprise, I was curous on the new power I possess. I put my mind into the pen and started controlling it and suddenly it felled to the floor.
The door opened, a nurse and two men came in. one of them has helped me earlier to join the exam.
"Mr. Obafemi, how are you doing"
"I feel better" I replied curiously, in my mind all I was thinking now was why am been visited by this two men, has something happened to anyone in my family.
"I can see, I am mr Davis , the branch director of the falcon martial club association in lag base city. I have seen great potential in you, we have a deal to discuss with you in our office tomorrow, my body guard will come and pick you up tomorrow" the man said with a warm smile with a domineering aura that was almost completely concealed, that was the aura of an advanced senior warrior. Advanced senior warriors has the ability to conceal their strength. Lifting a truck with a hand is nothing before them. After they left I was discharged that same day.
Meanwhile, after I was discharged i took a taxi straight to my house, when I stepped into the house, I felt relieved of the heavy thought of my family situation, everyone was alright, my dad almost completely recovered from the last attack he had at his work place. By 3pm, I logged into my school portal, I checked my exam score, I was surprised I got a very high score in my exam, I was among the top best candidates that sat for the exam, although the name of the other five candidates was not stated, but I already had a guess of who they might be. Natasha and obi will definitely be among them. my result is already excellent, joining the military warrior school won't be a problem. from the enquiry I had made before, I discovered that when you successfully join the warriors, you will be paid a large sum of money, not less than $10,000 dollars, it is well enough to take care of my family.
In an old apartment , toward the evening time, Oba's family were now having their meal together, although they was no much money to eat lavishly, but the couple has always worked hard to meet up to 3 square meal of the family.
"Oba how was your exam" Oba's father asked turning the room lively.
"it was fine, I just checked it few minutes ago, I performed excellently" Oba replied with a broad smile.
" my goal is to be a warrior, so that I can earn enough money to take care of everyone in the family. You have always struggled with mom to provide three square meal for the family, its time I contribute my quota."
"seeing you earn enough money to the help the family is really a good thing, but your safety matter to me, being a warrior is not a child's play, I hope you understand what being a warrior means, , it means that you have to put your life in the line. Some warriors never made it back home" Oba's mother said in a worried tone and looking at Oba's father to support her word and dissuade Oba.
"Don't worry mom, God will be with me,"
"your life matters to us " his mum added
"don't worry brother, I believe in you, you can do it, don't give up on your dreams" his brother akin said.
All these while Oba's father has been silent, then he suddenly said "Oba, your desire of becoming a warrior is good, I won't stop you. In this life, no work is easy, people who are pilot sometimes gets involved in a plane crash,
Drivers have accidents,
Electrical engineers can get electrocuted,
Doctors can contact illness from their own patient and die,
soldiers and warriors can also be killed in battles
by their opponents or enemy. But upon all these bad side of it, they are also a good side. They are also people who have survived in professional field. As far as you are diligent in your duty, careful and smart, make fewer mistakes; think properly before you act, you will surely survive as a warrior. I can't discourage you to give up, try your best and you will surely succeed,"
"thank you dad" then turning around looking at their faces one after another
"I will do my best, I won't disappoint any of you"
Oba's phone started ringing, he picked the call and placed it on the left ear. "hello..."
"am good and you" at the other side of the line, it was his friend obi who was calling,
"am fine bro" obi replied from the other end and then said
"our class will be having a dinner at tastia restaurant this evening" I don't know if you can make it, everyone in the class group excluding you indicated that they will be there according to our chat in the watsapp group, I noticed that you weren't online, so I decided to inform you".
"thanks obi, I run out of data bundle, I will definitely be there"
"try and make it to be there, I have already paid for you, we made a little contribution in other to make it hold. We also booked a spot in the restaurant; I hope you don't miss it".
"I won't " Oba stated.
After the conversation, Oba hanged up the phone.
"I hope they is no problem" Oba's father asked
"no dad" he said
"its my friend, Akin, he said that our class will be having a dinner this evening".
"a dinner ? I won't stop you from going, after all you are a young adult, you are old enough to take care of yourself, but you have to be careful because people are evil these days".
"yes dad, I will" he replied with an assured smile,
