"Why are we flying instead of automatic teleportation?" Kameko asked, staring at the ground below her. They were flying past the clouds. "The Noble Kingdom isn't on earth."

"Right." Phronesis answered, they had taken the lead. "But there's something I want to do first."

The twins raised an eyebrow.

"I promise it's something you'll like." Phronesis said and stopped. Automatically, the trio ceased to move. Phronesis turned around. "We're high enough anyway."

They tapped the sceptor with their free hand, twirling it in a pentagon motion.

The golden orb on Phronesis's sceptor glowed white, its form changed into a prism."Aspída Prostasías!"

Blinding light burned Emiyo's retina for a moment until she saw it hit her emblem. Forcing pink sparks out of it.

She couldn't help but gasp, except that it wasn't over. Emiyo saw Kameko and Lisa's emblems in the same state. Connected in the shape of a triangle.

Phronesis had a large smile plastered all over their face the entire time as the colors exploded, landing hard at the small building that was the school.

"There," they said with a confident grin.

"What did you do?!" Lisa yelled, her eyes wide with horror.

"Relax." Phronesis said with another twirl of their staff, Emiyo noticed that they really enjoyed doing that. "Look."

The trio craned their necks as they turned around and noticed the ground surrounding the institute. The snow was engraved with a traingle, the same one. But the building itself and those surrounding it were covered in a prism-shaped barrier.

"Anyone that isn't us won't be able to see the, only exception is normal humans, specifically those who live close by. Prevents any supernatural force from reaching them, invisible. They have no idea what just happened anyway."

They were right. The prism barrier soon faded away and Kameko swore she saw the buildings grow slightly paler.

Phronesis's sceptor returned to normal, so did their transformation items.

"Now it won't look like I did all the work."

Emiyo felt a vein pop at her temple.

Great, just what we need a showoff... I mean with that face and height it's no wonder.

Her annoyance turned to anger. She clenched her teeth. "Can we go now?"

Phronesis nodded, seemingly unaware of Emiyo's attitude. "Yes."

Another grandious wave of their sceptor,"Dimensio Nobilium!"

The trio were pulled towards Phronesis, suddenly connected by an invisible magnet. "Hold tight, this might be a rough ride for newbies such as yourselves."

Pause. A short one that allowed the three to hold hands before suddenly being jerked
irresistibly to the right. Lisa could feel Emiyo and Lisa on either side of her, their shoulders banging into each other. Forced into a circular motion with Phronesis leading the procession.

They were spinning faster, Kameko's could feel her eyes wander. The clouds around her stopped moving. Were they going so fast that everything else went slower?

Similar to her alter ego's super speed?

Kameko's brain hurt, still they moved faster and faster. Lisa looked like she was going to be sick. Emiyo kept her eyes closed.

She was scared to let go, but quickly found out that her hands were permanetly stuck to Emiyo's and Lisa's. Most likely to prevent Kameko from accidently letting go.
