As autumn approached, the academy prepared to celebrate its fifth anniversary, a milestone that Maya and Jalen had eagerly anticipated. They planned a grand festival that would not only honor the school's achievements but also reinforce its commitment to the future. This event was set to be even more spectacular than previous years, with alumni returning to share their post-academic successes and to inspire the current students.
The festival was meticulously organized to display the diverse magic practiced at the academy. One area was dedicated to magical technology integrations, showcasing inventions that blended ancient spells with modern technology. Another zone featured cultural magics from around the world, with demonstrations of regional spells and discussions on how these could be integrated into global practices.
