Professor Tok, wise and ancient, had seen countless magical events in his long life, but even he raised an eyebrow when he found a small, unconscious human lying by the roadside, clothes torn, forehead bruised, and completely magicless. A rare occurrence—a human from the non-magical world, brought here by what must have been unstable portal magic. It was dangerous. But more than that, it was... useful.

Tok, always the teacher, saw in this strange arrival a rare opportunity.

Adam, his most talented but hot-headed student, was rapidly growing in power. At just 25, he could wield spells that most wizards struggled with for decades. But power without control is chaos. And Adam was chaos—impatient, emotional, and prone to anger when things didn't go perfectly. He needed to learn responsibility. Patience. Empathy. And Tok had just been handed the perfect lesson.

With careful hands and a whisper of a levitation spell, Tok carried the unconscious human to Adam’s cottage, tucked between thick, vine-covered trees. He didn’t knock. He simply stepped inside and laid the small figure on the couch.

“You must care for this one, Adam,” Tok said firmly. “She’s human. From the other world. Fragile. Injured. Afraid. And completely without magic.”

Adam blinked in confusion and annoyance. “You want me to babysit a human? Tok, I’m in the middle of—”

“You’re in the middle of learning. Learning not to burn down your study every time a spell misfires. Learning to be more than just power.” Tok’s tone was final. “Use your healing spells. Comfort her when she wakes. And keep your temper in check.”

With that, Tok vanished in a swirl of silvery mist, leaving Adam alone… with you.
