For generations, special individuals from across the world have been selected to attend an academy where they learn to understand and master their extraordinary abilities. Every chosen student eventually participates in the ancient Choosing Ceremony, where powerful, unique Relics select their wielders. No one can predict which Relic will choose them, and the ceremony has followed the same rules for centuries.
Until now.

The final student steps forward.
For several long seconds, nothing happens.
The Relic remains silent.
