*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Its open, come in."
As Charles opens the door, he notices a frown on his teachers face.
"Teacher, you wanted to see me?" He asked as he sat down on the chair.
"Yes Yes, why do you think I called you to my office?"
"I have n-"
"Think about it." He interrupts, his frown deepening.
He leans back on the chair, hand under his chin in a thinking pose for show.
'I know why he's pissed, but he usually complains to me on the communication stone, he never brings me to his office.'
While thinking, he notices a purple crystal on his teachers desk. 'What is that? I've never seen anything li-'
"Well? Contrary to what you think, I don't have all day here."
"Is it cause I have no Talent Ability, teacher?"
"You're getting expelled, you have been under my tutelage for a year and a half and yet you're still just a 1st Circle Wizard."
"What! Teacher you can't do this! I study hard everyday and you owe my father for saving you're life!" Charles yells shooting up from his chair.
"I DON'T CARE! Do you know how much ridicule I get for taking you on as my student? A 17 year old student under the great Wizard Farlon still a 1st Circle Wizard? And no Talent Ability on top of that? I'm treated as a joke."
"Teac-"
"I am not you're teacher anymore, pack up you're things and leave, this college won't accommodate talentless students anymore."
"....So you're just going to ignore the fact that my dad saved you're life at the cost of his own?"
Farlon's face reddens at that, but then he took a deep breath.
"You're a wizard with no 'Talent Ability', be grateful that I took you in for as long as I did."
Before I could retort I hear someone knocks on the door.
*Knock* *Knock*
"Come in."
A lady with glasses opens the door. "Excuse me Mr. Farlon, the ceremony is about to start."

Farlon stands up and straightens his robes. "Yes, I'll be there immediately."
With a nod, she closes the door.
Farlon looks back at Charles. "You have 30 minutes, pack up you're things and leave." Farlon exits the office, leaving the door open.
As Charles hears the footsteps become faint. He stood there, stunned.
He walks up to the door, closes it and proceeds to sit back on the chair.
'I don't believe this, this.... is this really happening?'
"Status" he whispers, trying to distract himself before he has a mental breakdown.

'Talentless huh?, Why am I getting that now? Well at least it isn't a flaw...'
"Fine fine FINE!, I don't know what am I going to do. But anything is better then moping about."
As Charles gets up to leave, his attention is grabbed by that purple crystal again.
He walks up to the desk, hand reaching for the crystal, stops a few inches away. Hesitating.
'Maybe I shouldn't do this.'
But curiosity won. 'Nah, I don't care anymore, plus I'm not his student anymore. I'm just taking a look.'
As he grabs the crystal, it glows and a notification appears in front of his face. He doesn't notice the Alarm stone glowing on the desk.
*Detected user with no Talent Ability*
*Use?*
*Yes / No*
'Huh, so its not just a pretty crystal.' He gets excited.
"Yes, I accept."
The crystal starts to dim, until it changes color from purple to black.
He doesn't feel any different. "Status".

*SLAM*
The door slams open, Farlon frantically enters the office.
"Its you?! What are you still doing in here?" He notices a black crystal in Charles hands. "What have you done? Why has it changed color?"
"Teacher you don't know?, this crystal gave me a Talent Ability, I'm not Talentless anymore."
"I am not you're teacher, give me that thing."
The crystal flies out of Charles hand and Farlon grabs it. He starts to inspect it.
"This is useless now, and you admit to stealing it too. you are not a student here anymore.... which means you're a trespasser." Wizard Farlon's hand starts to crackle with lightning.
"Wait!, Teacher I'm sorry for taking what's yours. But I have a Talent Ability now, I won't be an embarrassment under you anymore."
"This is the last time I'll say this, you are not my student anymore. Goodbye thief." Farlon starts to aims his hand at Charles.
Charles starts to sweat knowing he is no match for his former teacher. 'I have to use my talent, maybe I can escape with it.'
Charles immediately uses his talent, hoping he can get a teleportation ability or at the very least invisibility. Anything to escape.
*Random World Selected*
His body glows in a bright purple light, which causes Farlons Lightning strike to miss and hit the sleeve of his robe.
As Farlons opens back his eyes, he notices that Charles is gone.
"Damn it!, A rare Teleportation talent, I can't sense the mana signature I left on him anymore. So he's out of the continent. that crystal..... was priceless."
"DAMN IT!"
