The lady left leaving the information to the gang, as Hazel, Shelby, and Gabriel stood up dusting away the crumbles on their shirts left from the food they snacked on. After some while each got cleaned up and changed into their official uniforms except two....
Barry and Alan were sleeping like they hadn't slept for ages and were filling up their lost sleep. The other part of the group was not having it and seeing them sleep peacefully was not the ideal vision they had in mind. Without wasting a minute Hazel nodded to Shelby who understood her signal as she immediately controlled the water present in the water bottles present at the snack station and flowed it towards the lazy brothers and dumped it on their faces.
Both of them woke with a scream that legitimately felt real as if they were scared to death. After a few whiles of looking in random directions, their senses returned to them as they saw 4 of their teammates standing in front of them, frowning as they saw them getting up from bed.
"Barry, I'm gonna say this once get ready the master has called us, HURRY!" ordered Hazel.
Barry and Alan didn't even think to fight back or say a word, they both got up, showered, and got ready to leave after snagging one or two snacks from the station. They left the building as a car was waiting for them right outside and was big enough to fill up many people.
They got in the van and took a very talkative ride on the way to Master's home, while Barry and Alan did their breakfast with the snacks they grabbed which, to be honest, was a lot in a rush they had grabbed a lot of chips, biscuit, and pastries and it felt like they had raided the entire place.
All of them had received some fatal blows from the battle they had participated in and before they had entered the resting place Hazel had given all of them a serum that would heal them after a few hours and sure it did as they were all in a good shape when they entered the car, chatting with each other and thanking to make it here in good health.
"Um, Alan I believe you have something that belongs to me," said Hazel as she looked into his eyes with curiosity.
"Uhh, you want one of my sandwiches, sure here you go," said Alan while passing her a sandwich.
Hazel immediately smacked him on the head to make his other lost senses return back to him.
"I meant my powers, you dumb kid," said Alan while boiling up as she was embarrassed to have him hand him a sandwich.
"Ohh, I'm sorry yea sure here you go", said Alan while trying to figure out how to return her powers back.
He sat there just thinking about how to return her powers back but before he could speak a word Hazel grabbed his hand and clenched it tight, Alan started to blush up as he saw all others make faces around him and making him uncomfortable. A few minutes later he received a notification on his system to transfer powers which he accepted and started to transfer the magic ability back to Hazel. The journey after that was quite silent as Alan couldn't say a word because Hazel held his hand tight and others didn't dare to interfere only to be punched by Hazel.
After some while they finally reached the Snyders residency and Alan had just completed transferring her ability back to her. They all jumped out of the vehicle and proceeded to step inside the residence. One by one they made their way in until they reached the door separating them from the master and with a gentle knock they were invited inside to have a chat.
The master just like usual had a gentle tone in his voice while he walked around the room and started to speak with the gang.
"I see your brother has joined you as well, Barry", stated master.
"Yes master, He joined me a few days ago but he is very useful towards our missions", answered Barry.
The master accepted his statement with a gentle nod and then sat down in front of them with a quite serious face as he was about to talk about a serious matter.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate all of you for successfully defeating one of the six clans under the Shadows, You all would be awarded according to the threat, But the reason I called all of you was to say that I will be leaving this residency for a while as I have been informed about a discovery of a new land not far from here and I have to conquer it before it gets under the control of Shadows, till then I have appointed someone in my family to look after the light residency and manage affairs." explained the Master.
All five of them sat there in shock but didn't think to object to the master's decision and politely agreed before leaving his place.

[All of the people who participated in the battle against the illusionary clan receive 2000 credits plus a mystery gift which they can redeem from the weaponry Hall]
unlike previously, this time they had received their credits via their system plus they had received a mystery gift which got all of them pretty hooked up.
"Guys, before we go to the weaponry Hall can we go to the market to buy stuff with this money," said Barry.
All of them looked at Barry and thought how irresponsible he was with his money but still decided to tag along and see what they could buy for themselves.
They walked along the market constantly carrying Barry away from stalls he tried to buy stupid things from until they eventually gave up and dispersed amongst themselves to find something of interest, Alan and Gabriel were hooked on some skill books while Shelby and Hazel were in search of some house decorations, but all of their interests were disrupted as Barry came rushing towards the group to reveal something that would shock all of them, in a good way of course.
