The arena:-
As Zack teleported away, Devon, who had been engrossed in the screen, turned his attention back to the spot where Zack had been standing. Nork, with a serious tone devoid of his usual childlike deanor, questioned Devon's decision.
"Was there any reason why you had to send him away like that? You could have at least given him so basic guidance like you do with others," Nork expressed his concern.
Devon's face revealed a mix of amusent and admiration. "Nork, he's the first person in my entire life who was truly fascinated by the prospect of the ability class. How many individuals like him do you think we do encounter? Maybe once every thousand years. I don't want to treat him like just any ordinary person, Devon explained with a chuckle. "This group is filled with surprises. We have two strategists, a dragon bloodliner, a deck user, and now Zack and that magician girl. It's intriguing."
Devon's attention shifted back to the screen, where a video was playing, showcasing a girl who had just learned a spell to summon a small fireball. Devon watched intently, captivated by the display of magic.
"Nork, how many magicians have you seen who were able to learn a spell on their very first day? You've been around for more than 10 billion years now," Devon asked, his gaze fixed on the screen.
Nork responded, "I've only encountered three magicians in the last thousand years. And this marks the ninth ti in the past million years that a group like this has been ford. It is indeed rare."
Ignoring Nork's voice, Devon continued to watch the screen, changing the visuals frequently, engrossed in the unfolding events. "He will be an interesting experint," Devon remarked, a hint of curiosity in his voice. His mind filled with possibilities and potential outcos.
The group he had assembled was like a collection of rare specins, each possessing unique qualities and talents. It was an opportunity for Devon to further his own knowledge and explore the uncharted territories of their abilities. The screen before him continued to display captivating scenes of magic and battles, fuelling his excitent for the journey ahead.

Dormitory:-
Zack Pov:-
As I materialized back in the common room, the atmosphere felt oddly serene and devoid of any activity. It seed that everyone was still occupied in their own sessions, their absence leaving the room in silence. I couldn't help but voice my confusion, hoping for a response that would break the silence.
"They haven't returned yet. The others will be engrossed in their sessions for a few more hours. Your own session lasted only an hour, but theirs will continue for three hours. You have the option to spend the remaining ti practicing your ability or engage in other activities," Nork suggested in his usual childish voice, the sound reverberating in my mind. I considered Nork's suggestion but decided against it. Instead, I yearned for a mont of relaxation and respite.
"Nah, I think I'll just take so ti to unwind. Let know if anyone else arrives."
I retreated to my own room, seeking a mont of tranquillity. As I settled onto my bed, I laid on the soft mattress, feeling the weight of the day slowly dissipate as I allowed myself to relax. The silence enveloped . I let myself unwind and reflect on the events of the day. The quiet surroundings provided a much-needed opportunity to recharge and gather my thoughts, patiently awaiting the return of my fellow dormmates.
After waking up from my nap, I received a notification from Nork, as I had instructed him to inform upon the return of my fellow mates. Stepping out of my room, I spotted Charlotte waiting nearby seating on sofa. She inford that Ayaan and Ignatius were exhausted, deciding to end their day early. However, Elsie had yet to make an appearance. Curious about her day, I asked her how things went after we were separated. Little did I know that this innocent question would lead to an endless stream of chatter from her. Once she started, there was no stopping her.
According to Charlotte, her training was a breeze and quite amusing. Instead of attending another lecture like us, they had a practical class. Their task seed simple enough: they had to read and morize a single line consisting of only six words. Then, while holding a rock, they had to recreate a diagram in the air. The only slightly challenging part, as she put it, was sensing the mana within the rock and utilizing it to empower the diagram.
It took Charlotte more than half an hour to recount her adventures, and just when I thought the storytelling had finally co to an end, she launched into another tale. This ti, she excitedly shared how she quickly grasped the chanics of a spell, leaving her teacher astounded by her progress. Not only did she learn one spell, but she had also managed to acquire another. Her eyes glead as she described the fiery power of the spell "Fire Blast" and the refreshing surge of the water-based spell "Water Cannon."
With childlike wonder, she delved into the intricacies of how these spells worked, explaining the gestures, incantations, and mana manipulation required to unleash their respective elents. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and I couldn't help but be captivated by her genuine excitent and eagerness to share her magical experiences.
She spoke with boundless enthusiasm, her eyes sparkling with excitent. Most of her anecdotes were filled with trivial details, like describing the appearance of a particular flower or mimicking the facial expressions of the instructor when they failed repeatedly.
Soon elsie entered the common room, her weary expression evident on her face. She seed exhausted, as if she had endured a long and arduous training session.
"So, did you stay back or go with soone else?" Elsie inquired as she settled onto the sofa.
"I stayed back," I replied, eting her gaze.
Curiosity sparked in Charlotte's eyes as she interjected, "What happened? What are you two talking about? Don't leave out. Were you scolded or sothing? Oh, I'm sorry for bragging about my day while you were getting scolded."
A mischievous smile crept onto my face as I decided to play along. "Why would you think that? I wasn't being scolded at all. Devon was actually helping unlock an ability. But I guess I won't share any more details with you. I'm hurt, and I'm going back to my room."
I stood up dramatically, pretending to be wounded by their assumptions, and made my way towards my room, leaving Charlotte with puzzled expressions behind .
"No, wait! I didn't an it like that," Charlotte quickly interjected, her voice filled with remorse. "I'm so sorry if it ca across the wrong way. I was just joking, you know, trying to lighten the mood. Please don't be mad at ."
"Don't be so dramatic," Elsie replied, rolling her eyes playfully. "Just tell what ability you unlocked and what Devon said afterwards. How did you feel about it all?" I sighed, realizing that Elsie was right. There was no need to make a big fuss out of it. I composed myself and answered her questions. "The ability I unlocked is called 'Shifter'," I explained. "And after Devon inford about it, he simply told to go and practice on my own. He actually didn't tell much at all. There were no specific instructions or guidance provided. As for how I felt, it was a mixture of curiosity and fatigue."
Elsie raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued by this revelation. "That's odd. I thought instructors would give more direction or at least so pointers on how to develop our skills."
"I thought so too," I replied, shrugging. "But Devon seed more focused on his own work and research. Maybe he believes that we'll figure it out on our own. Or perhaps he has a different approach to teaching."
Elsie nodded, seemingly satisfied with my response. "Well, that's intriguing. I can't wait to see how you develop your shifter ability. Maybe we can even train together soti." I smiled, appreciating Elsie's support and enthusiasm.
"Sure, that sounds like a plan. We can definitely work on our abilities together."
Elsie's response sparked a sense of curiosity in Charlotte, who seed eager to join us in practicing our abilities. Her excitent was contagious, and I couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm.
"Charlotte, I appreciate your eagerness to join , but I think it's best if I spend so ti on my own initially," I explained gently. "I need to fully grasp the nature of my ability and figure out how to harness its power. Once I have a better understanding, we can definitely practice together and support each other's growth."
Charlotte's face fell slightly, but she nodded in understanding. "You're right, Zack. It's important for you to explore your ability on your own terms. Just rember, we're here for you whenever you're ready to share and practice together."
"Let's head to your room and rest," Elsie commanded us, leading the way.
I followed Elsie without hesitation, not wanting to defy her authority. Even Charlotte, usually filled with curiosity and questions, remained silent and obediently trailed behind Elsie. I decided to bring an end to my eventful day by surrendering to a much-needed rest. As I laid down on my comfortable bed, I let go of the worries and excitent that had consud throughout the day.
