Asher, William, and Finch walked around for a bit, taking their time as they moved through the familiar grounds of the Star Academy, a place they had not stepped into for an entire week. The air felt strangely nostalgic, almost as though the academy itself had been waiting for their return.
Suddenly, Finch vanished from his position in the blink of an eye and reappeared several meters ahead. Before either William or Asher could comment, Finch disappeared once more and materialized back at his former location, a smile appearing on his face.
"At least the teleportation ring is working again," he said with a relieved sigh, as though an invisible weight had finally been lifted from his shoulders.
William narrowed his eyes slightly as he turned toward Finch. "Wasn't it working before?" he asked, arching an eyebrow in confusion.
