Van could feel the warly empty desk While the other students all had their pens and parch a race of their own

"With our class' upco you Crystals for you to absorb We have already discussed this before, but as you absorb a crystal, not only does your Base Level go up but your System Level as well"

With the look on the other students' faces, the instructor see very important, but alas, Van was in his oorld

"Each Crystal will give you a different set of EXP Your Base Level absorbs all of that, while your Systeets half of what your Base Level receives Most of you have probably already leveled up both your Base Levels and System Levels, if not, then I would surely be disappointed", the instructor continued his lecture

"We have discussed all of this before, but not every Systeht unlock new Skills as soon as you first level up, while some may not even after 5 levels But you don't have to worry, the Skill Points you get are all the same and you can level up your skills as soon as they become available to you"

"Also…"

The instructor's words fleeted, going in one ear and quickly out the other Van could not even focus even just a single second as he reht

It ca about how her poas not a Systeifted to her by the Gods theht But still, she indulged her sister's fantasy and told her that it ift from the Gods, not only her powers but also herself

But after Sarah said that to her, Scarlett beca on the walls of her house and she started speaking to herself

As soon as Van heard the word 'Gods' when Sarah told him her sister's story, he quickly felt his heart skip a beat He could not help but wonder… If he and Scarlett really were the same

But then Sarah's story took an unexpected turn, it just happened so suddenly… Scarlett died Sarah found her in her house, she drowned herself in the bath Her fa her friends in the Academy that she was able to breathe in water But it turns out…

She couldn't Her sister… wasn't special after all

Stupid It was a senseless death

'I was stupid', were Sarah's fleeting words If only Sarah stopped indulging her sister's fantasies, if only she told her that she really wasn't that special, maybe she would still be alive

Her farandfather held a certain position in the country, but still, rumors spread fast Within the week, al their whispers and gossips that Scarlett was insane and that she killed herself
