Several months later, the academy's reputation as a leader in sustainable magic had grown significantly. The liquid sunlight technology had been adopted by numerous magical institutions worldwide, and the academy was flooded with requests for collaboration and knowledge sharing.
One afternoon, as Maya prepared for a meeting with an international delegation, a messenger arrived with a sealed letter. The emblem on the seal was unfamiliar, a complex design that suggested it was from a distant, perhaps secretive, magical society. Maya broke the seal and began to read.
"Dear Headmistress Maya,
We have been observing your remarkable work from afar and are deeply impressed by the strides your academy has made in sustainable magic. We would like to extend an invitation to you and a select group of your students to visit our hidden sanctuary, where we have been working on our own advanced environmental magic techniques.
