Inside Blank territory, far away from the festive streets and administrative halls, Ethan stood within a vast testing ground constructed on the outskirts of the estate.
Unlike the peaceful gardens of the manor, this place looked closer to a military research zone. Thick stone walls surrounded the area, layered with multiple defensive formations glowing faintly under the afternoon light. Large rune pillars stood at equal distances, forming a containment barrier meant to absorb destructive backlash.

Today they were testing the Arcane Burst Cannon.
Several children and young students stood behind the safety line, their eyes shining with excitement. Some whispered among themselves while others leaned forward eagerly, unable to hide their anticipation.
Among all of them, the most excited was Otlo.
He was practically jumping in place like a child who had just received his favorite toy.
"Is it going to fire now?"
