Only an hour remained before Saruto left for the Academy. But the idea of crafting a weapon to challenge the Second Founder wouldn't leave his mind, so he sat in his room to clear his head. Saruto was silent, his eyes trembling... but his resolve remained unwavering. He sat on the floor and whispered to himself, "My own weapon... well, I'll find it at the Academy. But first... I must change my appearance."
Saruto decided not to rely on his family name to achieve his goals at the Academy. He resolved to alter his appearance and identity so that no one at the Academy would recognize him as the Dark Heir of the Luen family.
He stood before the mirror, Luen's energy radiating from his body. His black hair began to shine, then gradually turned a deep purple, shimmering in the light. His eyes had also changed... they had become sharp and black, altered to resemble those of a dragon. He swept his hair back, straight and flowing naturally, leaving a few strands to fall gently across his forehead without completely obscuring it.
He opened the door to the room... and found his father waiting for him. His father looked at him intently, then smiled slightly. "So... this is the appearance you chose."
He approached him and placed his hand on his shoulder, saying, "Before you leave, there's one last thing you need to learn. I'm going to teach you the skill of teleportation."
Then they went to the Time Room so he could teach him the skill. He raised his hand and placed it on his forehead, closed his eyes, and the air around them began to tremble. He teleported to various rooms. Then he explained, "With the skill of teleportation, you can teleport to any place you want, provided you've visited it before. You can also teleport to people by following their energy."
Saruto began to try the skill. He failed at first, but he kept repeating under his father's supervision until he was satisfied and disappeared from his spot, then reappeared behind his father. His father smiled and said, "Well done. Now you can go home whenever you want while you're at the academy, to practice in the Time Room, or to ask for help."
He thanked his father, then Saruto turned his face toward the horizon, his violet eyes shining with determination. "Now," he said, "I'm ready to go to the academy."
He executed his teleportation skill and was transported to Hartz Academy.
