"Wait. I have the map of the school that I took from one of the teachers. Let me search for it in just a sec."
Raghnall looking through his hobo sack and pulled out a dust-filled paper.
He spread it out on the ground as he grabbed the stick.
"Trekna. Rosa. Hibrenos. Transa. Ferron. Liliendo."
He muttered as he started drawing a magic circle filled with ancient scribbles equivalent to the words he said.
As the stick moves, a faint light glows along with it which made Inna gasp in amazement.
"Rosa. Intrena. Liliendo. Spella. Null. Kra-ana."
Raghnall tossed his rose to the circle and before it can hit the ground, it floated upwards.
"Toss your lily too."
Hearing Raghnall's instruction, Inna threw her lily to the circle.
It floated beside the rose and both plants began to emit a faint glow of red and white.
Raghnall closed his eyes and began murmuring words that was too fast for Inna to catch. Then, after a few seconds, the glow in both plants dimmed, and soon, the magic circle dimmed until it disappeared. The flowers fell slowly to the ground as Raghnall opened his eyes.
"Yep, we're good to go."
He grabbed his rose and quickly muttered the spell.
"Kra-ana!"
Then, both their bodies were shrouded by light.
And when Inna blinked, she realized they were already in a different place.
"Holy shit! That was amazing!"
Inna looked around the changed scenery in complete amazement, her smile and eyes were wide and filled with glee.
"Is this your first time teleporting?"
Raghnall asked behind her.
Inna quickly nodded, but then she realized something was strange after seeing a house with a huge lily sign.
"Didn't you use the spell on your rose? Why are we here in the Lily dorms instead?"
She turned to look at him.
"Actually, the magic circle I did there was duplicating enhancing spells. Since teleportation are spells done by Mages, fellow Mages that are skilled enough can alter or copy them."
"And since you've got yourself a genius mage such as myself…"
Raghnall wiggled his brows.
"I simply looked at my rose's spell, copied it, then nullified the original spell, then placed my own copied spell but with slight alterations. I changed the 'expected place' so that it will lead us here, in the Lily dorms instead of the Rose dorms, using the magical imprint in your lily."
"And then, I enhanced the spell further so that it can carry two people, since originally, only the holder of the flower can be affected once the spell is triggered."
Inna raised her eyebrows in bewilderment.
"So it's something like 'Cut and paste' with additional stuff?"
Now, it was Raghnall's turn to be confused.
"Cut and paste?"
Inna realized that her words were once again foreign to him but she had no energy to discuss the whole history about it. So, she just covered it up with another question.
"Why didn't you just copy the spell then alter it in my lily instead of going through all the trouble?"
"It would surely be easier but these flowers are fragile mediums. At most, they can only be casted with magic twice before they lose their vitality. So when the lily was casted with a nullifying magic, its vitality was already slowly being sucked out."
Raghnall gestured towards the limp lily in Inna's hands to prove his point.
"And mine should also start to lose its vitality right about now."
He looked at the wrinkles in one of the rose's petals.
"Continuing on casting spells with it will only make it turn to dust. And, without the flower, you'll be unable to enter the dorms. Hence, I did what a genius would do."
He had a smug expression on, so Inna raised her hand that was gripping the lily. It was to let him know that if he says 'genius' one more time, she will wipe that irritating expression along with his face.
His face immediately straightened up and he coughed awkwardly.
"Well, since you arrived successfully, I should take my leave."
He quickly turned around and walked away while he opened the map in his hands. But, after a few steps, he turned back around and stupidly grinned at Inna in glee.
"Also, don't forget the promise you made!"
Inna rolled her eyes at his excitement and shooed him away with her hands.
When he disappeared into the dense mass of trees, Inna finally observed the place she was in closely.
The place looked like an isolated space in the forest. It had trees surrounding it in a circle and inside the circle was heaps of tall grass that made the place feel like it was abandoned. Behind her was a white mansion that had a huge lily sign in its front. It looked like one of those Victorian mansions that were meant for nobles, but because of the tall grass and the dirty white color of the walls, this one looked abandoned. In fact, if it was at night, it would totally look like a haunted house.
But, despite the tall grass, there was a clean stone pathway in the center of the field, leading to the front porch of the house.
She followed the path towards the front porch and waited by the door.
Then, she remembered something.
Wait, isn't there supposed to be a teacher waiting after she teleports?
Did the teacher get tired of waiting for her?
Confused, Inna reluctantly knocked on the door.
When she didn't hear any response, she really thought that the mansion was abandoned.
But suddenly, the door slightly opened with a loud and long creak.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
