Bab 1516: Simple Failure

The trial for Talisman was surprisingly difficult. Alex was asked to do more than he had expected a good chunk of the way through the trial, and as such he was sent out.

He arrived in a flash of purple light that edged on being indigo. It was close to blue, but not quite yet. 

Barely anyone gave him any attention when he arrived. No one cared for you when there was the slightest hint of red in your color. 

People noticed Alex, but this time there was no fanfare. They had heard about his achievement in the Alchemy trials already, and the Formation trial's results were not hidden from them either.

They had paid attention when he had entered, but when he came out, no one bothered to care. He can't be good at everything he does, they thought. Some even voiced it out loud.
