The noise Wanete heard was coming from the registration building, and a quick look inside showed that the counters in the glass-walled structure were completely empty—except for one at the far end, where a "Support/Complaints" sign hung from the ceiling.
A small group of people had gathered around the counter, their loud voices blending into a chaotic mess as they hounded the officer stationed there.

"Mine too!" another voice cut in. "Ever since the Sovereign Division of the tournament ended yesterday, my summon's magic hasn't regenerated at all!"
"It's been over twenty-four hours," a third added, frustration bleeding into their tone. "Something's obviously wrong!"
The lady behind the counter raised both hands in a placating gesture.
