Eira Lumina began the lesson.
"Today we continue basic magical structure theory."
Chalk moved across the board.
The class listened.
Everything was normal.
But Lyra suddenly blinked.
"…Did the lesson start already?"
Kael looked at her.
"It did. A few minutes ago."
Lyra frowned.
"That doesn't feel right."
At the back of the class, Ocean sat quietly.
He turned a page in his book.
No reaction.
No acknowledgment.
But the concept of "time tracking" within the classroom briefly became uncertain.
Not missing.
Not broken.
Just slightly harder to measure correctly.
Kael whispered:
"I think time is acting weird again."
Lyra responded softly:
"I think it's just us."
Kiyo Jian recorded observations from afar.
His notes were incomplete again.
He stared at them.
"…Even time-based tracking loses precision."
Ocean remained unchanged.
The lesson continued normally.
