The calculation process took some time, something that till then was new. The quantum computer had incredible capacities, due to its "bits" beeing in a superposition and could normally immediately give an answer. Yes, you got me, I do am a bit anxious. Who would not? Everyone wants to know his origins, his parents, and his house. What am I? Water? Fire? Light? Darkness? Earth? Wind?

The Elder looked silently at the monitor and the crowd got louder. One could hear whispers and shouts.

---Electricity---Absorber of electrons or anti-electrons---No further specific abilities displayable---Subdivision of the house of Fire

Silence. No shouts no wishes of congratulation no whispers. Only silence.

The Elder eyes wandered startled first to the monitor and then to me.

Electricity, a long since extinct subdivision of the house of fire. The last grand techno mage designed the plans for the quantum computer four hundred years ago, where the technical capacities were not yet reached to build it. Even that mage was at that time nearly a relict of old days. Approximately 600 years old and the only one in his peers.

But that was 400 years ago and the bloodline was thought to be extinct! Who are my parents and where are they now?  

The Elder in charge seemed to slowly recover and announced: "John of the house of fire. You will from now on be a part of the ancient electro branch"

I looked at the crowd and saw the disgust in their eyes. Nothing changed, everyone still thought that I was a useless orphan. Even though electro mages were rare, no one saw their might, except that old man four hundred years ago that only could create something that no one at that time could use. Most of the people saw electro mages nowadays as a little bit useful couch potato.

"YOU GOT THE JACKPOT JOHN! A DISTINCT DIVISION!"

That shout came from the smiling Frank, who suddenly realised where he was and embarrassed chuckled. He came to me and gave me a bear hug to immediately escape with me from the stage. He was as red as a spike fruit and  smiled at me blushing.

Jesus he kind of saved me from these stares, but also gave me more attention from the crowd. 

Im tired and will probably go after a chapter from issth to bed. This chapter is not yet finished.
