Aaron enjoyed the night along with his parents, eating his favourite food and reminiscing about so good mories that they created.
In a world like this, it is not easy to appreciate life and make good mories. Luckily for Aaron, his parents do know how to appreciate life.
As awakeners, they know that people tend to die a lot in this world. This is why people tend to have multiple children but they were not so lucky. Maya lost her ability to give birth after Aaron. So, he is their only child for this life.
Even if it was so, they didn't feel bad. They made sure to put all their efforts into Aaron and they were happy that all their efforts were going to bear fruit soon enough.
As Aaron was able to reach the top rank in the entire alliance, they were promoted.
Yeah, till now, they were just assistants to other chefs but now they would have their own assistants. This was done by the manager when he called them over after he saw that Aaron was the top ranker.
He promoted them there and then. The manager was trying to tie Aaron with the restaurant. By tying Aaron who would achieve a lot in the future, he can ride his coattails and rise above what he is now.
With this promotion, there is a substantial rise in Thomas and Maya's inco. Not just that, this would increase their fa and levels as well.
Unlike Chef assistants, Chefs are trained separately and more focus is concentrated on them.
Like combat professionals had to kill to level up, Chefs can level up by cooking. As Thomas and Maya are not chefs, their levelling process was too slow. The reason behind that was that there were too many chefs in the world.
Yeah, unlike combat professionals who go out of the protection boundaries of cities or towns, chefs don't do that. It is not safe out there. It might be a monster or another human who got greedy, which may end up with them losing their lives.
It is true for other life professionals as well.
Unless there was a massacre caused by an attack on the city or town, life professionals rarely die.
Of course, there is one thing that differentiates a combat and life professional and that is the lifespan.
If you rank up, then you can live longer than normal but life professionals rank up too slowly. So, even though they don't die quickly, they don't live for too long if they can't rank up at least a few tis.
The issue was, that though combat professionals rank up a lot, many end up dead in the hands of enemies. So, the actual lifespan does not matter much in many cases. Very few combat professionals would even reach their limit and die of natural causes.
Life professionals have limited lifespans as they don't progress faster but they live fully, while combat professionals have longer lifespans but most die before the limit.
It's Ironic, to say the least.

After having a sumptuous dinner, he spent so ti with his parents. Though the three tried to spend as much ti as possible with each other, the chances of doing so were very limited.
They had jobs that usually kept them late into the night. if not for their fear of what could happen to Aaton in the dungeons that he kept visiting every day after awakening, they would usually return late.
Now that the exam is over, he would soon head to an academy that gives him the best chance at improving himself. Once he leaves, it may be after a year or maybe more than that before they would be able to et again.
So, Aaron decided to make use of the little ti that he had before the start of the academy and that made him go to bed later than usual.

Aaron slept like a baby. No, that would be inaccurate as babies tend to wake up in the middle of the night. No, he slept for more than usual. He woke up late.
He felt that he deserved it. He was working his ass off all these years and also he slept late last night and that's why he woke up late.
When he checked his mobile for ti, he saw that he got various ssages from people that he knew and also from ones that he didn't.
He is part of the school chat, which he ignored most of the ti but it was where notifications were posted by the teacher. So, though he rarely interacted with the group, he would read the ssages posted there.
There are a lot of students in the group, but he didn't interact with many of them and they didn't interact with him either.
Even if that was the case before, it is not so now. With his qualification as the top-ranker in the alliance, he now stands far above them. So even making a tiny bond with him might help them in the future and the reason why the students flooded the group with ssages.
As Aaron was enjoying last night with his parents, he turned off notifications and forgot to check the ssages, which he is doing so now.
It was not as if he was interested in these congratulatory ssages but he wanted to know about the academies that would co today.
After checking for a while in reverse, he finally found a ssage from the school managent. The agents from the academies would arrive at 9 A.M. and it was advised to be at school by that ti.
It was not just for him but for all students.
There was a separate ssage intended for him and that was to directly et the principal by 8 A.M.
"Oh shit, it's already 7 A.M", Aaron shouted as he threw away the mobile and hurried to get ready before that.
He usually wakes by 5 A.M. every day but he felt that he deserved a lazy day after working hard all these days.
Who knew it was the only day that he actually needed to wake up early?
