Chapter 100: The Bureau That Became a Miracle
šļø Act I: A Scroll That Reflected Everything
Ne Job was walking through the Bureau's Grand Hall when a scroll appeared, larger than any he had ever seen. Its parchment shimmered with every color, its glow pulsed with every rhythm, and its weight felt like the sum of all miracles.
Twinkle buzzed in awe.
Ao Bing leaned over. "That scroll looks likeā¦ all of them combined."
Taiyi Zhenren frowned. "That's Miracle #300-B. Archived as 'The Bureau Itself.' It is only opened at the Rite of Completion."
Ne Job unrolled it.
Inside was a single line:
> "The Bureau is not a place. It is a miracle."

š§ Act II: The Bureau Reacts
Lord Xian summoned every department.
"This scroll," he said, "is sacred. It declares that the Bureau itself is a miracle. We must honor it."
Ao Bing grinned. "So the whole building is alive?"
Taiyi Zhenren muttered, "Unprofessional."
Ne Job whispered, "It's teaching us that the Bureau is more than walls. It is us."
Twinkle hummed softly.

š Act III: The Ceremony of Completion
The Reflection Hall was transformed into a festival ground.
Every scroll hovered.
Every intern gathered.
Every miracle pulsed.
The Bureau itself glowed.
Rules:
- Each intern must present one miracle they cherish.
- Each miracle must be woven into the Bureau.
- The scroll will record the harmony.
Ao Bing presented thunderfruit fireworks.
Taiyi Zhenren presented footnotes of sorrow.
Glimmer presented sprite laughter.
Ne Job stepped forward.
He presented Twinkle's hum.
The Bureau pulsed.

š§µ Act IV: The Trial of Harmony
The hall dimmed.
The Bureau itself spoke ā not in words, but in resonance.
Interns felt every miracle at once.
- Laughter and sorrow.
- Silence and song.
- Patience and courage.
- Absence and renewal.
Ao Bing trembled.
Taiyi Zhenren wept.
Glimmer laughed.
Ne Job stood still.
He whispered, "The Bureau is not separate from us. It is our story."
Twinkle hummed in harmony.
The Bureau glowed.

š Act V: The Miracle of Completion
The scroll rewrote itself:
> "Completion is not ending. It is harmony."
Interns wept softly.
Ao Bing tossed confetti.
Taiyi Zhenren footnoted the silence.
Glimmer hugged Ne Job.
Twinkle hummed triumphantly.
Lord Xian nodded. "Intern Ne Job, you have shown that the Bureau itself is a miracle."

š Epilogue: A New Registry Entry
The next morning, a new entry appeared in the Miracle Registry:
> Miracle #300-B: The Bureau Itself
> Status: Sacred, eternal, harmonious.
> Effect: Declares the Bureau itself a miracle. Activated through completion and unity.
Ne Job added a note:
> "Some miracles are not scrolls. They are places, people, and stories ā alive together."
Twinkle hummed.
And somewhere in the Bureau, every scroll pulsed softly ā not as separate miracles, but as one.
