The afternoon sunlight streamed through the tall library windows. Casting warm golden patches across the wooden study tables.
Dust motes floated lazily in the light, and the quiet hum of turning pages and soft footsteps filled the air.
In a tucked-away corner near the back of the library. Where the shelves of thick, ancient spellbooks acted like soundproof walls.
Kyle, Luna, Reo, and Mira had taken their spot.
Kyle sat with his elbows on the table. Tapping the screen of his mana band.
A soft chime echoed as a small swarm of Nexus bots zipped out from their docking station nearby.
The tiny drones hovered midair, glowing blue at their cores. Looking almost like fireflies as they flitted around the study group.
Kyle typed a quick command. Requesting a list of books on mana convergence theory.
In under a minute. The bots returned in perfect formation, each carrying heavy, leather-bound tomes in their mechanical claws.
They dropped the books gently onto the table in a neat stack.
