Yuna," the voice echoed through the empty corridors, but no reply came.
"Yuna," the call repeated, yet silence was the only response.
Yuna's mentor, a stern figure with a gaze that could pierce through the veil of indifference, questioned, "Why does your attention wander from our teachings? Now, give me the solution to the equation on page 152."
Yuna stood up, his presence barely noticed in the quiet classroom. The solution was clear in his mind, but he remained silent. His silence was a choice, a path to being excused from the session, granting him the solitude he yearned for deep reflection.
"This world is so dull. Here, wealth is king. The powerful cannot dominate the weak. They claim to uphold equality for everyone."
"Existence is merely a pursuit of self-importance. No one has a true purpose in life."
"Labelled a fool for my refusal to conform, yet following others leads to no revelation. What's the point?"
"Freedom is an illusion, yet we're trapped in a cage we cannot see."
As the classroom cleared, Yuna was left to face the scorn of his classmates. With his ordinary black hair and plain appearance, he blended into the crowd.
Suddenly, a commanding voice cut through the murmurs. The speaker had mesmerizing crimson eyes and long, silvery hair.
"Stop bothering your classmate," she ordered. She was the respected president of the student council and Yuna's trusted ally.
"Thank you, Seria," Yuna replied, his voice calm.
"Did they hurt you?" Seria asked, concern lacing her words.
"I'm fine."
As daylight faded, Yuna walked home. Once there, he retreated to his room to begin his workout routine.
In the midst of his exercises, a knock on the door signaled his sister's arrival.
"Yuna, I've brought food," she said, settling down.
"Yuna, will you join us for dinner from now on?"
"Soon," he promised her. She left, satisfied.
After eating, Yuna fell into a deep sleep. "In another life, maybe I'll wake up in a world filled with chaos and magic," he thought.
A smile formed on his lips as he drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, confusion took hold as he woke up in a hospital.
"How did I get here? Wasn't I in my room last night?" Yuna wondered aloud. A nurse replied to his unease.
"What's troubling you?"
"I don't recognize this place. I remember being at home."
Yuna's worry intensified, "Never mind. I need to get to my studies."
"Relax, today is the weekend; the school is closed."
"Isn't today Friday?"
"You've been asleep since ten days"
Yuna was stunned.
"Um…"
"Is there something on your mind?"
"Yes, but I hardly know where to start. Still, I'll try to explain from the beginning."
His thoughts were interrupted.
"A lot has happened while you were out."
"Magic—no, it's nothing," the nurse hesitated.
After a pause, she continued.
"Last Thursday night, something strange happened. A mysterious figure appeared in many people's dreams, saying, 'I grant you magical powers. You will control your surroundings. Wait for other creatures—demons, elves, and beastfolk—to come. Train, and when you're ready, I'll return to lead you further.'"
Yuna listened closely, his face serious.
"People couldn't believe it at first, but then they were amazed as they started doing things that were only possible in stories. The world became frantic, and the authorities set up a new social order—royalty, commoners, and mixed breeds. The internet exploded. It's been three days, and now magic is part of education."
Yuna was shocked, trying to understand what this meant, but he also felt a thrill.
"We need to see what magic you have."
"Find out?"
The nurse brought out a glowing sphere.
"Please put your hand on this sphere."
"Okay."
Yuna touched the sphere hesitantly. It shone a bright amber color.
"What's this?"
The nurse looked surprised and confused.
"What's wrong?"
"You are—"
Yuna's story continues as he discovers a world turned upside down by the sudden infusion of magic. His journey is just beginning, and the challenges he will face are as mysterious as the powers he may possess. As he navigates through this new reality, he will encounter wonders and dangers alike, and perhaps find the purpose he has been searching for.
What kind of magical abilities does Yuna have?
Tell me more about Seria and her role in this world.
How will Yuna adapt to this new reality?
