The room was mostly empty as the last of Adrian's classmates packed up their materials and left the Enchantment Course hall. The sound of footsteps gradually faded into silence, and soon, only the quiet hum of enchanted tools and the occasional flicker of mana crystals remained.
Adrian stood in front of his workbench, eyes lingering on the sword he had just completed. The course had ended for the day, but he had no intention of leaving just yet.
Across the room, the two instructors, Sibilus and Kiri, were watching him. Sibilus stood with his arms crossed, his snake-like eyes observing Adrian with that usual unreadable expression. Kiri, on the other hand, tilted her head slightly, her fox ears twitching as if sensing something different in the air.
