Ethan stood on the balcony of the guild hall overlooking Astravar The sun had barely risen but the city already moved with energy merchants preparing stalls mages conjuring morning light spells and floating carts drifting to their first tasks He saw opportunity in every direction In Silicon Valley he had helped build product demos investor meetings and public showcases In Astravar none of that existed Yet Ethan knew exactly what he needed The Mana Demo Day A public event where founders show their creations and attract early supporters customers and attention AMAX was growing but to survive against the courier guild and future rivals they needed visibility They needed a splash louder than any rumor Ethan gathered everyone in the pitch room Today we launch something new A public demonstration of our services for all of Astravar Mira asked Public As in the whole city Ethan nodded Yes We show them what magic can build Lorian worried But what if the sprite misbehaves Ethan said Then the city will see something real People trust imperfect truth Aria said We must prepare the hall If mana flows are unstable the runes may backfire Ethan smiled at her analytical mindset Exactly You lead the stability checks Lorian you handle sprite training Mira prepare hounds for live demonstration Apprentices handle crowd paths We move tonight They prepared all day Aria inspected every rune reinforcing weak lines cleaning mana cracks resetting anchor points She adjusted the hall like a master engineer tuning an engine Ethan watched amazed by her precision Lorian trained the sprite through dozens of loops adding variety obstacles and tiny distractions to test its discipline Mira refined summoning circles and taught the hounds predictable delivery routes making sure none attacked the audience Meanwhile Ten and the apprentices built temporary guide lines across the floor creating safe areas for demonstrations By sunset the hall felt transformed Clean ordered stable pulsing with controlled magic instead of chaotic raw energy Ethan wrote the announcement on a glowing board outside the hall Mana Demo Day Tomorrow at High Sun Witness the future of magical services The next morning Astravar gathered outside AMAX Hundreds of people merchants adventurers guild apprentices nobles even guards Ethan felt a surge of adrenaline This crowd was larger than any pitch event he had ever hosted He stepped onto the front platform Good citizens of Astravar Today we show you what happens when magic meets vision A hush fell across the crowd Lorian walked forward heart pounding holding the fire sprite in both hands Ethan raised his voice First we present FireCourier The sprite flew upward performing a clean controlled arc then delivered a message to a floating target The crowd gasped Merchants cheered A few nobles whispered intently Ethan saw awe forming Mira stepped forward releasing three smoke hounds They dashed across the hall carrying crates small parcels and fabric samples The audience murmured This was magic in motion organized disciplined purposeful A noble spoke This is more efficient than messenger birds A merchant shouted How much for a weekly contract An adventurer yelled Can they deliver to the outer camps The courier guild apprentices standing in the back looked horrified Ethan continued Next we show combined services Lorian ordered the sprite to deliver a spark rune to Mira Her hound caught it then carried it across the hall completing a synchronized handoff The crowd roared New magic New ideas New possibilities Then Aria stepped forward She placed three crystals on the ground They lifted aligned and emitted a stable wave that calmed the mana in the hall She bowed slightly saying Mana stabilization technology for long spells and enchanted workrooms The hall felt smoother lighter easier The crowd sensed the difference Aria had just shown something truly new Even Ethan felt humbled Ethan spoke loudly This is the beginning of mana innovation not controlled by guilds not locked behind tradition but open to anyone with talent and courage The crowd erupted with applause People rushed forward to sign up for contracts partnerships and future collaboration Even nobles requested invitations to future events Ethan felt the shift The city recognized AMAX as legitimate powerful and forward motion The courier guild apprentices slipped away pale faced knowing they had seen the future and it did not include them Ethan stood before his team Lorian Mira Aria Ten and the others He felt a rare warmth of pride He said quietly Today the world saw what founders can build Today Astravar entered a new age And tomorrow we scale again The hall glowed with mana like a living heartbeat as if the realm itself approved AMAX had stepped out of rumor and into history The Mana Demo Day had begun a revolution
