PATH OF THE STAR HUNTER

In the streets of Green seed town at this moment you could see the image of a girl with curly brown hair running at high speed, her green eyes emitted a shine similar to that of the highest quality jade, and the smile on her face belied how energetic the girl was.

The girl’s speed was nothing outside the limits of normal human beings, but she was certainly close to the speed of a professional athlete and if Desmond were here right now he would find himself extremely surprised to see that the girl who ran comfortably without even gasping for breath was actually Claire; one has to know that although Claire had a beautiful figure with proportions that would make a wolf howl. . . she was not actually in great physical condition or at least far from having the physical capabilities that she exhibited right now.

Claire who was enjoying all the new sensations that her body was giving her had an extremely bright smile, she had not expected that one of the side effects of the mana purification as Kyuru called it was that her body had been strengthened to some extent by the enormous amount of energy that had been infused into her.

Now while running in a hurry on her way to school Claire realized that even now she had underestimated what Kyuru had done for her, so making a mental note to pamper the mischievous fairy even more; Claire slowed down a bit as she ran when she realized that more than one person had been staring at her with lust-filled eyes focused on her abundant breasts that, although they stood firmly erect, had not been able to avoid bouncing quite a bit as she made the move her career.

Normally Claire would have been a little more annoyed with the situation, but at this point, she was in an incredible mood so she chose to shrug her shoulders and continue to enjoy the feeling that the wind gave her when it stroked her cheeks and ruffled her hair.

Soon Claire had arrived at the school where a large number of people had already gathered, knowing that the ceremony would soon begin. Claire took a walk around while she was looking for her best friend Melissa; One detail that she could not ignore was that people were looking at her in a somewhat strange way while she walked around, but given her haste, she decided to ignore it for now.

′′ Claire. . .What happened? ′′ When Claire finally managed to find Melissa these were the first words of her friend.

′′ What are you talking about? ′′ Claire answered back.

.....

′′ Your appearance looks a little different, but that doesn’t matter; Claire your eyes. . . your eyes are shining. ′′

At the words of her friend, Claire reacted promptly by taking a small hand mirror out of her bag and proceeding to see her reflection; there she saw what her friend was talking about. In the first place, she noticed that her skin looked slightly lighter, it is also looked softer and smoother.

The second thing that caught her attention was that her hair seemed in the same way softer and silkier than it was, which was somewhat remarkable given that she already took great care of her hair in the same way that she took great care of her skin and general appearance; the color of her hair also seemed slightly more intense.

But what would probably take the top prize for rarity was that her green eyes now had a more intense color and they even glowed slightly, if one did not know better one might even think that Claire was a porcelain doll whose eyes had been made with emeralds; but looking into her incredibly beautiful eyes, Claire was somewhat fascinated with the changes in her overall appearance and even a little hypnotized as she gazed into her eyes in her reflection.

It took Claire a few seconds to get out of the fascination she was in and realize the problem, well, although her eyes were as beautiful as gems; these certainly shouldn’t shine like that as that would attract attention.

The problem is that Claire had no idea how to make the glow stop, so she mimicked Desmond’s image as he meditated and closed her eyes as she tried to focus her intention on getting her eyes back to normal.

When she opened her eyes again and looked at herself in the mirror, Claire saw that her eyes had effectively stopped shining, and although they remained with that emerald color that she had acquired; at least this was not that noticeable since her eyes already had a similar color originally.

Melissa was full of intrigue as she watched her friend make her eyes stop emitting that mysterious glow and although Melissa wanted to ask Claire about it, she decided not to bring it up; at the end of the day everyone had secrets and Claire had already shared many with her so it was not good that she tried to delve further into the affairs of her friend.

The pair of friends looked at each other for a few seconds and after a period of silence a tacit agreement was reached between the two girls, after that, they began to talk about some girlish things before going on to talk about the ceremony that would start soon.

While both friends argued about what kind of power they hoped it would be good to have or what abilities they believed would go best with the personality of some classmates; a strong and forceful voice interrupted them.

′′ Listen damn spoiled brats, it’s time for the awakening ceremony to start so shut your damn mouth for good measure; The event will be run by the local military regiment so I hope they understand that they must behave properly.

With some luck, some of you will awaken skills that are useful to us and obtain great rewards from us, if any of you achieve that, your future will be assured wealth, power; they will have everything their heart desires and that includes women. So good luck, brats. ′′

Before the rude words of the military man who was speaking on the podium, many reacted with great emotion while others seemed not to want to have anything to do with the military; some were incredibly annoyed by the general’s words, the majority being women because they did not appreciate how the man spoke of women as a “thing” that he could obtain as he wanted.

Claire was part of those annoying people, but she refrained from commenting on it, she was not so naive as not to know that the general’s words were not so far from the truth; only God could know the number of women who were raped or even kidnapped to become sexual objects for the military.

In fact, she was very close to suffering that fate a few years ago and if it weren’t for Desmond it was difficult to know what could have happened to her; but that was a story for another day.

Claire at this time was more concerned about something else, she did not expect the military to lead the event, usually, although there was a military presence during the ceremonies; these were normally run by school personnel.

Now Claire was aware that the situation with the military could be more serious than she and Desmond had thought so they were a little impatient to add fresh blood to the ranks, but all this was inconsequential for Claire who she had planned from the beginning to hide the ability that she acquired during awakening.

′′ Very well everything is ready, so we will start; come by when you hear his name. ′′

And so the awakening ceremony began.
