The next three days moved like a storm through Astravar fast relentless unstoppable Aria and Ten worked through the nights turning abandoned exam halls into functional startup spaces Each new hall echoed with growing mana currents shaped by Aria’s precise infrastructure and Ten’s steady hands Lorian trained new sprite handlers until his voice grew hoarse Mira instructed novice summoners each circle more disciplined than the last Ethan moved between rooms keeping order guiding founders refining ideas and shaping the next wave of magical entrepreneurs By the end of the third day AMAX no longer felt like a single accelerator It felt like the beginning of an entire district Aria stepped back from the newly carved wall of Hall Two wiping chalk dust from her fingers The conduits are stable She said softly They can handle triple the mana load Ten nodded carrying a basket of crystals Should we start channel tests Aria nodded Do it He placed the crystals into the channel The wall lit with gentle mana lines glowing like floating rivers of light The hall vibrated but held steady Aria watched quietly This space will hold startups that transform the kingdom Ethan approached them You both built something incredible Aria said It is the structure that allows everything else to grow Without structure there is no scaling Ethan nodded And scaling is the only way we survive Then all three heard noise outside the hall A group of mages young and old crowded the street staring at AMAX with curiosity Some held scrolls others held prototypes Mira approached Ethan They want to join She said Ethan looked at the crowd Each mage carried a spark that he recognized founder hunger the drive to build something Ethan whispered Then today we make it official The Founders Guild He walked to the platform outside the main hall raised his voice and spoke loud enough for the entire street to hear Mages of Astravar For centuries guilds have governed magic controlled magic limited magic But today a new guild is born A guild for builders innovators creators A guild open to all without lineage or privilege A guild that shapes the future not protects the past I call it The Founders Guild The crowd gasped murmuring loudly Some laughed in disbelief some clapped some frowned but all listened Ethan continued This guild will not replace AMAX It will expand it To join you must bring vision grit and responsibility Not power not lineage not guild approval One young mage raised a hand What does the Founders Guild offer Ethan replied It offers freedom to create support to grow and a network of innovators who learn together Another mage asked Will the Council allow this Ethan answered The Council recognizes us now They will not stop growth They will only regulate it Mira stepped forward adding The Founders Guild protects new ideas from old guild pressure Aria said And provides infrastructure so ideas do not collapse from unstable mana Lorian raised the sprite proudly And offers training for anyone willing to learn The crowd erupted with excitement Mages stepped forward pledging themselves to the Founders Guild that day Ethan accepted only those with vision and purpose turning away a few who lacked direction but encouraging them to return when ready The Founders Guild grew from zero to thirty members in a single afternoon By evening the guild district outside AMAX hummed with energy The courier guild had spies watching from rooftops their faces tense The enchantment guild murmured quietly confused by AMAX’s rapid emergence The potion guild whispered about the collapse of price controls The city was shifting Ethan stood in the main hall doorway watching mages train develop build He whispered to himself This is larger than a startup now This is a revolution And revolutions always draw new challenges As the moon rose Aria approached Ethan The mana pattern of Astravar changed It flows differently now Ethan nodded The world itself is adapting to innovation Aria looked thoughtful But adaptation brings instability The kingdom will soon test us Ethan knew she was right Growth always invited conflict But that conflict was necessary because AMAX was no longer a hidden spark It was now a blazing beacon guiding the future
