The first thing she saw upon exiting that cursed building was a bustling city, people ushering all over the place in an Avenue. No one was minding too much the people exiting the building, and a few of those shoved Elizabeth to the side while mumbling something about country bumpkins.

For Elizabeth though? She didn't mind it that much since she was amazed at the sights. Even though she had lived in what she had considered a normal city, this one had way more traffic. Even the downtown center of her hometown didn't have this much traffic, and it was objectively a highly affluent city to live in since two of the twelve lived there.

Actually...Why wasn't her hometown this busy? They didn't even have a teleport center like this one.

"Is this a capital or something? Actually, where are we?" Wondered aloud the blonde girl.

"Nope, this feels like Britain...They have these weird aesthetics on their buildings and try to low-key shove their magic when they can..." Said her pink-haired friend while walking to her, it seemed like she was used to this...?

"Did you live around here?" Asked the blonde girl while motioning around her.

Rossie just got her smartphone and checked something on it "Not here, but I'm a Britanian citizen. So I can smell their magic. Also, our guide should be here soon enough." Finished saying the pink-haired girl.

They had a guide?

Also, she could smell the magic?

She didn't sense anything different, a few people were looking at them oddly enough, but at least Rossie wasn't recoiling from their stares anymore. Did the customs officer trigger some bad memory?

Either way, the blonde girl just expanded her senses in the shadows and basked in the feelings, she could feel some kind of [Authority] coming from a few buildings that rebuffed her approach, but on the street?

That was free game it seemed, so long she didn't actually try to affect the environment no skill impeded her exploring. So she sent a few subordinates of Nyx to roam around. And a flick of her will made sure that some would wait around this building to see if they could pin where that rude customs officer would go.

She would get her vengeance, no one messed with her Rossie and got away with it, especially if he had triggered a bad memory on her friend. So while thinking about vengeance their guide finally arrived.

"Sorry for the wait." Said a young woman, she looked like just around 20 years old, perhaps someone that was about to graduate. "I was here half an hour ago, but got a ping about you both getting delayed by customs." She added while showing her datapad, it showcased a note about them getting flagged for possible [Villainy].

"Yeah, the custom thought Eli-Eli was a [Villain] can you believe it?" Said Rossie while huffing, as if she wasn't the victim of this event.

She kinda admired that "Yeah, that was weird. It was like he had a problem with us just because our ID showed we came from a powered & magical school." Added the blonde girl.

At which, she got looks from both, her guide and also from her friend.

"What?" Asked the blonde girl confused.

"Eli-Eli...He had a problem with us for being metahumans...Not with us for being students from a powered and magical school." Said her friend while looking somewhat confused at her.

"Oh...are you sheltered or something? From the countryside? No, the countryside is worse in its attitude towards metahumans...No wait...Are you from Avalon?" Asked the guide while mumbling about nationalities.

"Avalon? No...I'm from..." Started speaking to the blonde girl while coming to a blank, actually, what was her hometown's name...."Hah? What is it called?" Wondered the blonde girl out loud.
