Two days after his meditative triumph, Edward awakened early, refreshed and resolute. He practiced silent meditation, bathed, and told the dorm warden, Graspher, he'd be heading to the academy.
Graspher smiled, handing Edward a hot bowl of noodles.
"Eat up, boy. Sir Tyson is expecting you at eight sharp."
After breakfast, Edward walked to the academy, where Tyson stood waiting.
"Good morning, sir," Edward greeted, settling into his seat.
Tyson took attendance, then addressed the class:

🧭 Tyson's Assignment
Tyson concluded, eyes sweeping across the class.
"Tomorrow, you will choose your adventurer class. This decision shapes your path, your quests… and your destiny."
hold four:
Baptism Skill
Quest Trial Skill
Class-based Skill
Personal Type Bonus Skill This is your upgrade. The first step to becoming a true Adventurer of Questoria."
The students shouted in unison, "Yes, Sir!"
Tyson called forth the five highest performers of the Sit Quest, each of whom endured more than a full day in meditation:
Edward
Soliphia
Merrara
Winston
David
They stepped forward. Tyson turned to Edward.
"Edward, choose your Class."
Edward stepped ahead, voice calm but firm.
"Caster Class. Speed Type — Card Caster."
The room went silent.
Even Tyson was taken aback. Card Casters had become rare—reduced to legends or mocked as clowns due to their unpredictable methods. Yet Edward stood by his choice.
"Why Card Caster?" Tyson asked.
Edward explained:
"My first skill—Curtain Falls—grants random 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴 . Card Caster specializes in randomness. Decks can be bought, built, or forged through Book Casters. And my second skill—Triumph Lucky—enhances luck.
Randomness and luck… they're my strength. I believe they fit me."
Tyson nodded, deeply impressed.
"Good thinking. Now prove them wrong. Card Casters aren't clowns… they're chaos incarnate."

Tyson leaned forward.
"Tell us what your board says, Edward."
Edward smiled.
"Sir… I got Skill Bound Forced and Card Shuffle Bringer. Seems like Triumph Lucky really changed the odds."
Tyson stepped back, stunned.
"Well then… you've got a bright future, kid."
The room stirred. A few students even began to reevaluate the once-forgotten Card Caster path. Perhaps it wasn't a joke anymore.
Tyson turned.
"Next… Serophia, step forward."
