A few days later, Tsukiko was finally able to come back to school. A lot of the teachers and students missed her dearly but the one who missed her the most was Miyuki. Upon sighting her, she flung herself at Tsukiko and cried loudly.
"Tsukiko!!!~~ I missed youuu!!", she wailed.
Tsukiko didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she comforted Miyuki by patting her back.
"Calm down Miyuki, I'm here now, aren't I?", said Tsukiko.
Hearing this, Miyuki seemed to calm down and stopped crying. However, she still had Tsukiko in a bear hug and refused to let go of her.
"I didn't die or anything...", Tsukiko thought helplessly.
She was just thinking of a way to release herself from the iron clamps that were Miyuki's arms when the sonorous sound of the school's bell sounded in her ears. All the other students who were still chatting near the school's gate and courtyard, immediately ceased their chatter and ran towards the main building of the school.
Tsukiko used this an excuse and thankfully Miyuki let go of her and they both sprinted towards the doors to the main building.
For some who may be wondering why they all made such a mad dash to enter the main building, Maho Seminary, being a place that fosters great talents and intelligence, just so happen to have an alumnus who was one of those great talents. This alumnus, wanting to gift his alma mater a present for teaching him everything about magic and necromancing so well, ended up giving them a special net-barrier of his own design. It was meant catch tardy students and would activate on its own after the final bell rung.
When it was first introduced, there were some students who, feeling quite full of themselves, thought they could simply use some of their "awesome skills" to go through the barrier anyway. Some even took themselves as heroes freeing the students from the bondage that was Maho Seminary. Unfortunately, their heroic deed was cut short as they were immediately flung away by the barrier once they came in contact with it. It was quite a good distance too, around 30 meters.
This was exactly what the school wanted. A couple of scapegoats were sure to warn future troublemakers from attempting to damage the barrier. And it did.
Tsukiko saw for herself, how those students were thrown high into the sky and was terrified. She had never arrived late to school being the goody-too-shoes that she was, but now she was even more motivated.
She had once told Hirano about this and though he knew his sister wasn't one to lie, he found it quite unbelievable. Soon enough though, he believed it once he remembered the school he went to was Maho Seminary.
Now back to the situation at hand, Tsukiko lit a thousand candles in her head for the school bell's impeccable time. Miyuki was quite a bit taller than her, and if she hadn't let go of her, it'd be next to impossible to move around. She'd end up being blocked by the barrier!
Tsukiko shuddered at the thought and ran as fast as her legs (read: short legs) could carry her. Thankfully, both her and Miyuki made it, and not a second too soon!
As soon as they leaped past the stairs and went through the door, the heard a soft humming sound and all the other students who weren't able to get to the door in time, were instantly sent flying by the barrier.
Tsukiko wanted to help the groaning students, now laying sprawled across the massive courtyard, but once you were in, you wouldn't be able to leave unless you were a member of the staff.
She hurriedly whispered a few 'sorry's' and 'you did your best's' and left with Miyuki.
Unfortunately, their mad dash wasn't over yet as the same mechanism worked on the doors to class!
