Sudden gusts of wind howled, something the Spirit Binders, accustomed to the relaxed campus life, might not sense.
But the Spirits beside them were keenly aware of the tension in the air, becoming agitated and restless.

Knowing that something big was about to happen, few chose to ignore the world outside their windows and concentrate solely on their scholarly pursuits.

Quickly, a crowd formed around Chen Xuan and others, with two distinct circles of people.
Those nearer the center were members of the student council, each standing in hidden corners with a sharp gaze, watching intently.
On the outer ring were the curious bystanders, rubbing shoulders in small groups, either posting on the campus forum or holding up their phones to take photos and videos.
Of course, these behaviors were limited to the experienced upperclassmen.
