The classroom was buzzing with excitement.
Today was the most important day for every student.
The day the System would grant them their abilities.
One by one, students stepped forward and touched the glowing crystal in the center of the room.
A blue screen appeared above each of them.
"Water Magic – Rare Rank!"
Cheers filled the room.
Another student stepped forward.
"Shield Skill – Uncommon Rank!"
More applause followed.
At the back of the room stood Steni, watching quietly.
Her hands were slightly trembling.
This ability would decide her entire future.
Warrior… Mage… Healer…
Or someone useless.
"Steni!"
The instructor called her name.
"It's your turn."
The room suddenly became quiet.
Steni slowly walked toward the glowing crystal.
Her heart beat faster with every step.
She reached out and placed her hand on the crystal.
For a moment…
Nothing happened.
Then suddenly—
A screen appeared.
But it wasn't blue.
It was red.
[ERROR]
The instructor frowned.
"That's… strange."
The red screen flickered again.
[Unknown Ability Detected]
Whispers spread across the classroom.
"Unknown ability?"
"That never happens…"
Steni stared at the floating screen, confused.
Another message suddenly appeared.
[System Analysis Failed]
The light flickered violently.
Then the final message appeared.
[Classification: Glitch]
The entire classroom fell silent.
Steni felt a strange chill run through her body.
Because deep inside her mind…
A quiet voice whispered.
"Welcome, User Steni."
