Once the gang and the higher-ups followed Sabriye to the storage room, Sabriye began searching for something. Everyone else looked confused when they saw her pulling a whiteboard and some markers. Breaking the ice, Gopal questioned, "Uhh... What do you need those for?"

"Well, I need something so that I can explain how the tricks worked without confusing you guys, right? Besides, I'm better at visualising things than simply putting them into words." Sabriye answered his question with a question. She did have a point. If she were to explain how she did those tricks, imagery is to be used to explain easily without any confusion caused.

After she displayed the whiteboard, everyone, but Sabriye, sat on the floor. "So which trick would you like me to explain first?" Sabriye asked. Gopal raised his hand in the air. Sabriye cracked an amused smile at that. He looked like a little student trying to ask the teacher a question.

"During your battle with Boboiboy, I noticed you using bubbles to counterattack Cyclone's Cyclone Spheres. But it didn't seem to do any effect other than slowing them down. Why did you do it?" Gopal asked.

"Now that's a good question," Sabriye commented. "Well, why is that, Sabriye?" Ying asked. Sabriye answered, not exactly answering the question, "I don't know if you've learned this, but it's actually based on Science." This surprised them.

"Science?" Everyone else repeated. "Oh man, is this school again?" Gopal whined, making Sabriye chuckle. "As I was saying, yes, it's Science. Here's how it works," Sabriye then started a detailed explanation while drawings some rough sketches on the whiteboard.

"Basically, the movement of water particles is slower than the movement of air particles. When the water particles occupy the space that's in between the air particles, the-" Sabriye's explanation was cut short when Gopal interrupted. "Sabriye, please, speak normally!"

Sabriye laughed at his whining. It was as if almost everything he does was really comedic. "Alright, let me see if I can explain in a way you can understand. But, Yaya, Ying, feel free to take notes, if you want to," Sabriye responded, giving the older girls the luxury to jot down some knowledge.

"We don't need to take notes, we'll remember it," Yaya assured, with Ying nodding in agreement with a smile. Sabriye smiled back and went back to thinking of how to explain in a way for herself to be understood. "Alright, just imagine you're carrying something really heavy, so you would be forced to move slowly."

Sabriye attempted to explain, only to be met with blank stares. "I still don't get it," Gopal spoke up after a moment of silence. Sabriye sighed and placed a finger on her chin, thinking of another way to explain. "I got it. Water is much heavier than air. If air and water are mixed together, air will be forced to move slower," Sabriye attempted to explain again and much to her relief, they all understood.

"Actually, I think I remember learning this in school," Yaya mentioned. "Yeah, we did learn this. Wow, I didn't know Science can be useful in battle," Ying added. "Oh, they're useful. It's just kinda rare to use Science to your advantage in battle. Luckily, this battle gave me that chance," Sabriye agreed while thinking, 'Man, is this what it's like being a teacher?'

"Oh yeah, what about when you somehow split into two while I wasn't looking? How'd you do that?" Boboiboy asked. "Oh that, well, like Water said, that Hydro Pump was just a distraction. I knew you would switch to an element that would have an advantage against Water, so I was prepared," Sabriye explained with a smirk.

"I was surprised you chose Ice and not Thunderstorm. Thunderstorm would've had a bigger advantage against Water than Ice," She then remarked. "Well, I was trying to slow you down by freezing your hands and then attacking you," Boboiboy explained his trick, surprising Sabriye.

"Wow, Boboiboy, I'm actually impressed. I don't think I would've thought of doing that." The tables were then turned. Sabriye, the sneakiest among them, thought that Boboiboy's strategy was unpredictable. "But, I would've thought of other ways to slow my opponents down," Sabriye added before explaining her trick further.

"Anyway, back at the Tall Grass Barrier, Water told Fire that she will call for her when she finds a good time for Fire to strike. While Water was distracting you, Fire used Flame Charge to run all the way behind you quickly before you unleashed your attack. When Water noticed that you let your guard down... you know what happened next," Sabriye explained.

Everyone sat there befuddled. Boboiboy made a mental note to try that sometime. "Wow, aren't you just sneaky!" Gopal remarked. Sabriye abruptly snorted. "Speaking of being sneaky, about the pranks this morning..." Sabriye trailed off before laughing. "Oh that? That was awful," Boboiboy remarked with a pout.

This caught Fang's attention. "Wait, you were guys pranked too?" Nodding, Gopal answered, "Yeah, she blew an air horn at us," also with a pout. "What about them, though? What does that have anything to do with being sneaky, except for the fact that we didn't notice you come into our rooms," Boboiboy asked.

After pulling herself together, she responded, "By the way, about you guys sleeping while I 'stealthily' came into your room, I bet you guys were just heavy sleepers. About the pranks..." She trailed off again, laughing even more. "What did you do?" Fang asked cautiously.

Catching her breath, she didn't answer his question. Instead, she pulled out an object from her pocket. When Fang glanced at the object, he gasped in outrage, while Boboiboy and Gopal, however, blankly stared it, confused as they'd never seen it before. "Fang, what is that?" Boboiboy asked.

"That... is a mini camera!" Fang pointed at the object with wide eyes and his jaw dropped. When Boboiboy and Gopal realised what she did, they reacted the same. Admiral Tarung then had a plan. "Sabriye, may we see what you have recorded?" He asked with a tiny smile. "Of course," Sabriye responded, again, in a formal manner, handing over the camera to him.

They headed to the main wing and played the recording. After watching the clips, there was silence. That was when Sabriye was going to be in hot water - or was she? Admiral Tarung started laughing, "Sabriye, these clips are hilarious. I'm even impressed you knew how to use it."

Sabriye then responded, "Actually, I found the manual for the camera and looked through the instructions." Admiral Tarung turned to face towards her, "You were right about being sneaky. Maybe the next time we have a mission in need of sending a spy, I'm sure you are suited for the role," he complimented.

Sabriye blushed a tinge of pink at the compliment. "What do you say we watch these clips again? I couldn't get enough of this," Admiral Tarung suggested, making Sabriye nod hastily while grinning widely. After watching the clips a few times, everyone erupted into laughter, with Fang laughing at Boboiboy and Gopal's reaction and vice versa.

Just then, Sai and Shielda entered the main wing, returning from a mission, and wondered what was going on. Sabriye was the first to notice them. "Sai, Shielda! You're back from your mission. How was it?" Sabriye asked with a welcoming smile.

"The mission was successful. We left the Power Sphere in the Power Sphere Room," Sai answered. "May we ask what is going on here?" Shielda asked. Sabriye tried to stifle her laughter and responded, "Oh nothing, just watched some clips that I recorded this morning," with a cheeky grin, confusing the siblings.

"What clips?" They asked together in unison. "You won't know until you watch them, right?" Sabriye cheekily replied, dragging the siblings in to watch the clips. Soon, they started laughing too. "Sabriye, you pranked them this morning?" Shielda asked, trying to maintain her composure.

Sabriye nodded slowly, also trying to maintain her composure. They spent their time, watching the clips and laughing together. After watching the clips, they decided to hit the sack when Admiral Tarung insisted that Sabriye should keep the mini camera.

Of course, she would be lying if she said she wasn't pleasantly surprised but smiled and kept the mini camera. Before going back to work, Admiral Tarung glanced at Sabriye and smiled. 'Sabriye, you're going to do great things as a member of TAPOPS.'
