London is a city, that's the one oppinion I personally have of it. Being short-staffed the mage association personally recruited me the oldest son of my family who had been living in America since Colonial times.

My Grandfather had come to the United States during the first Brittish colonies, from there he survived until recent history via some sort of substance he had found in the new world.

Though his soul couldn't be stopped from deteriorating his body stayed somewhat stable for hundreds of years, retaining his youth.

I only met him once as a kid before he passed away, I just remember his absolute xenophobia for the English. But personally...

"London is a city, England is a country."

That's basically my oppinion about the place I've never actually cared much about the outside world, or the world of mages.

The heir to the family crest was going to be my younger sister, that was until she fell sick and bedridden from an unknown disease after she took a visit from the clock tower. No magecraft or medicine we know of has been able to heal her condition.

I was going to leave this world of magecraft and live in the regular human society, I am mediocre at magecraft but my parents weren't as monstruous as the other families we hear about.

They said they would have let me do as I please but I was now to take responsibility and carry on the crest, I looked out the window of the Airplane I was on and could see with my mystic eyes an odd distortion in space.

I was just about to start a mission not just for the Fate of our world but for my sister as well.

I didn't just come here to do as my parents said, I plan to find out what sickness my sister caught in this city which is inside of a country.

-8 hours later-

After landing in a private airport secured by the holy Church, I grab my bags and exit the plane.

Waiting outside is two sisters whom seem identical except for the position of their moles, with one having it close to the left side of the lip the other had it on the right.

"Welcome to the UK, Mr. Flash."

"Hey ya Flashy boy, welcome to the UK."

The two girls with white hair talked one after the other, both saying the same thing with different tones, and backwards.

They turned around, then began to walk towards a small shed right in front of the descending stairs of the Airplane.

To put it lightly, it looked like shit. It was barely even a shed, the flag pole next to it looked way better than it.

"Mr. Flash, before you enter the base we have to tell you that-"

"We gotta tell you that before you-"

I ignored both and walked right inside, a light flashed by my eyes and It caught me off guard seen that the inside was way fancier and open.

"Ah would you look at that! If it isn't the young man."

From the table where a bunch of people were sitting down in front of the door a middle aged man stood up and walked towards to greet me.

He extended out his hand which I shook, up and down the hands moved but he didn't let go afterwards. Not just that he maintained eye contact with me, it felt awkward so to ward him off I pulled my hand off.

"What are you a gay? I'm not into dude-"

Without finishing my sentence I stepped back as a small dark skinned girl now stood in front of me, she wore a dark coat with a blue outline and wore goggles on her forehead.

"Sorry sir! Mr Shark here had an awful experience and his nervous system is messed up sir! He can't control his body very well and is lacking sensitivity in some areas!-"

"Mrs Flower there is no need to explain all that.....haha..."

Both got flustered and looked away from me almost mirroring each other in their mannerism.

"Anyways sorry lad I didn't mean to make you uncomf-"

He lost strength in one leg and fell to the side but the small dark skinned girl caught him with one arm alone. Quite impressive since she didn't even use magecraft.

"We will be taking our leave now, Mr Shark needs his medicine...."

She picked up the man with minimum effort then walked off turning around to say-

"Bye."

-Before she dissapears almost as if she became air.

"Mr Flash, come sit down we need to explain the situation, and plan to you."

A woman around her early twenties spoke with a tone that of a woman in her later thirties, she wore a fancy shirt with a scarf which seemed to be alive and some dark pants.

She was quite a beauty, and had a very interesting hair style with two long sticks which went through it similar to that of some Asian hair styles.

"As of this special team up I am to be addressed as Mrs Venus."

I did as she said and sat down where Mrs Flower had been sitting in earlier. I dropped my bag to the side to where I was sitting and put my focus on Mrs Venus.

"Oh my Mr Flash it almost seems like you are going to burn a hole into me with such intense staring."

Mrs Venus giggled then raised her hand, from her glove an azure orb manifested then expanded into a screen which showed a gigantic bounded field covering London.

Lightning once in a while struck the bounded field which was easily repelled, while a circle of light surrounded the field which quite terrifyingly seemed to be expanding.

"As you can see this is quite the predicament it could even be a world ending event..."

"We have every researcher we could get our hands into to counter the bounded field with another created around it...."

"That's what the lightning you see is, it's a special mystic code designed to create a bounded field around whichever bounded field it is to strike...."

She stood up then pointed to the border of the circle, the other mages in the room including the maids let out a sigh.

"But all it does is slow it down....we fear that the only way to stop it will be from within, so this special cooperation between the holy Church with talented executioners, the clock tower with very competent mages, the wandering sea supplying us with some amazing technology, and the Atlas institute with very intelligent Alchemists......and some smaller groups with some members here, we are going to quite literally invade London."

She walked up to a wall opposite to the door I entered from and set her hand on it revealing to be what seemed to be a Gigantic Barrel gun. And when I mean gigantic I mean it, it looks like a weapon that could pierce the very world.

"This bad boy here is called bounded field piercing cannon: Klironomia, it's a mystic code designed to fire us conceptually as a bullet inside of that bounded field and destroy it from the inside."

I couldn't believe my eyes, in fact I couldn't even because I was using my mystic eyes and the magic power in the Klironomia was absurdly more in quantity to anything I have ever seen.

While I found it ridiculous the idea that it would fire us into the bounded field, I couldn't deny it was a very possible outcome.

"Now yesterday we may all have been rivals....but today we are team plus ultra, the team that will go beyond the limits of mankind to save the planet!"

A guy which seemed around my age walked up to the Klironomia, then with some enhancement in his legs easily leapt to the top of it sitting down.

"I am Mr Gold, now team Plus ultra get a good night's sleep... tomorrow we embark."

In my head I kept repeating "London is a city, England is a country" it was the best way to cope with the massive responsibility in my shoulders, but so long I found a cure for my sister I'd fight even a Dragon.
