Then—
A deep red glow rose from the final crystal.
"And this student… is a Sword God."
The hall erupted.
Whispers. Shock. Awe.
Then the female instructor turned.
"And now… mister. It is your turn."
Rowan stepped forward.
"Place your hand on the crystal."
Rowan said nothing.
He placed his palm on the cold surface.
For a moment—
Nothing happened.
Silence filled the hall.
Then—
A low hum vibrated through the chamber.
The crystal trembled.
Suddenly—
A blinding blue light exploded outward.
The entire hall was swallowed in radiant azure.
Students screamed.
Teachers shielded their eyes.
The walls, the floor, the ceiling—everything was drowned in glowing blue.
Four seconds felt like an eternity.
When the light finally faded, darkness returned.
Slowly… everyone opened their eyes.
"…What just happened?"
"…Did you see that?"
"…Blue? A blue blessing?"
"I've never seen that color before."
"What class is that supposed to be?"
The staff exchanged uneasy glances.
