Under the watchful eyes of all present, the azure card moved first.
—Mini-Game!
The blue card fell right into the center of a windmill cottage, its white blades still slowly turning in the breeze.
Almost all apprentices immediately sprang into action, rushing toward the dungeon entrance.
Those who could fly went straight through the skies, while those without wings had no choice but to run, leaping into the instance once they reached the cottage.
Rita, Maple Syrup, Mistblade, and Motor in battle form all rose into the air at once.
Mistblade looked particularly elegant in flight. That tail really was worth it—no running start, no wind to catch, no extra movement needed. Just lift off. Even if it took up one of her precious magical item slots, it had been worth the trade.
On the ground, only Fat Goose was stuck running on two legs. It looked terribly uncool. Watching his four teammates glide above, he felt isolated.
Damn it, he needed a flying skill, and soon!
