The academy library was quieter than usual, the weekend keeping most students away from the usual hum of study sessions. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows, casting golden streaks across the long wooden tables. The faint scent of aged paper and ink filled the air, blending with the distant, muffled conversations of a few other students scattered throughout the vast space.
Astron was already seated at one of the large study tables near the back, where the lighting was soft but adequate, and distractions were minimal. A sleek tablet rested on the desk before him, his sharp purple eyes scanning through the notes he had compiled for the report. His posture was relaxed yet composed, his expression unreadable as always.
