3 Magic

Fritz's hair looked as if a blind woman attacked him with scissors but what truly drew gazes to his hair was the color. The silver shinned and eyes focused on him as he was continuously dragged through the halls by Belle. Fritz kept quiet as Belle began to go on and on about the history of the school, they passed students who all gave inquisitive looks at Fritz and conversations fill the halls,

"Is that the new kid? The kid that suddenly just appeared during the ceremony? The wild kid that had rags for clothes, that was hilarious!" Fritz paid these statements no mind as Belle began to slow down, finally she she stops in front of a classroom and knocks on the door. A smart looking man opens the door and pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose,

"Ah Miss Belle, so good to see yo how can I help our fair lady?" Belle smiles and pushes Fritz towards him

"This is our newest student knihomol, won't you please take him?" Knihomol looks at me and and furrows his brows,

"This boy has an aura to him, his name is special isn't it? Tell me boy, do you know what magic is?" Fritz looks at his with a emotionless before shaking his head,

"Magic is magic, it can't be fully explained" Knihomol chuckles and quickly leads me into his class,

"Nay nay child, magic can be explained with science. For example, one who has an affinity to water can easily gather the moisture in the air and utilize it to how they see fit." As he leads Fritz in the class his gaze is met with piercing eyes and killing looks,

Class welcome your newest peer to join us his name is um.... What's your name boy?" The tall, black glasses wearing man's voice is deep as he looks towards Fritz.

"My name is Fritz but here at this Academy I guess I go by the name of Soulless" The teachers face becomes one of shock and the students begin to mutter among themselves.

"Boy, you're a Less. There hasn't been a Less for quiet sometime, most Lesses usual have had a terrible life as well as extraordinary powers only second to ones gifted with more but Lesses are rarer. I believe out of this batch there only is five blessed." He strokes his chin before pointing to an empty seat next to a smiling boy with the eyes of many girls on him.

"Sit next to Resourceful, he is one of the blessed. In a moment we shall begin to appraise each of you and your skills" Row after row gets up and touches a stone and the stone glows with different colors for each person. Fritz quickly put together the meaning behind each color. An orangish red meant fire, blue was water, brown was earth, air was a green but there was only one or two who had an affinity for multiple elements and when they did have two it was usually only red and brown or blue with green. Those students where happy as only a couple of other students got colors of deep blues, yellows or other colors. In general most of the class was one of the four basic elements, six multi affinities and two special affinities. All where happy as one by one each person was given a ring for each element they had with a corresponding gem stone that matched their affinities. People with fire got rubys, Safires for water users, tortoise for wind and beryl for earth (Brown variant). Resourceful stepped up with a goofy grin and slowly placed his hand on the stone. The stone began to shine bright, blinding most everyone before beautiful colors danced around the room. All of them where vibrant colors that looked to have no impurities in it, everyone but Fritz was in awe, unable to believe the beauty of the colors, Knihomol too was speechless as he quickly scrambled to his desk and grabbed the phone,

"Sir, we have a Versatile..... Yes sir he can use them all!... We both know the stone doesn't lie, please bring the ring!" Resourceful looked back at Fritz with a goofy smile still before approaching Fritz,

"Wasn't that awesome! All those colors and that power! Soulless I bet you're gonna be like me, able to use every element!" He quickly began to push fritz towards the stone, buzzing with excitement to see his new friend's power. The moment that Fritz's skin made contact with the stone all light, noise and presence was erased from the area, the stone pulsating a colorless attribute. No light, no dark, nothing came from the stone yet it took it all in the room, Fritz felt as if he was home, back in the empty with no one to bother him. Fritz began to drift within his power and accepted it, all came to a shattering halt as Fritz was torn from his dream as the stone under his hand imploded, being devoured. Everyone was silent, unable to speak or even fathom what had just happened as Knihomol shakily sat down and picked up the phone,

"S-s-sir I-I-I thought-t you'd want t-to be made aware that another student has a power I've never seen before or heard of.... Y-Yes everything was just devoid of....Everything. There was nothing sir!" Everyone looked at Fritz with scared looks in their eyes all but Resourceful who looked at him with admiration,

"That was awesome Soulless!" The headmaster walked into the room to see everyone shaken up but Fritz and Resourceful, Resourceful of which was looking at Fritz, smiling and talking to him. Fritz was quiet, not changing his cold gaze or emotions before he lightly smiled at Resourceful. The headmaster slowly walked towards the two boys and handed Resourceful a ring made of a magnificent colorful opal then pulled out a locked box and handed it to Fritz,

"When it deems you are ready will the box open and you will receive your ring. Let your power flow into the box and concentrate" after handing him the box the box burst open and a black opal ring is left in his hand.
