Kintovar retrieved a small device from her pocket, a device of advanced technology. She held it up for the group to see,

"This tracking device here is equipped with a highly sensitive GPS system," Kintovar began. "It can pinpoint our exact location and guide us to our destination."

She activated the device, its holographic display showing a map with the city marked to the east. It was their target, their new battlefield.

"The city is in that direction," Kintovar stated, her finger pointing to the east on the holographic map. "We need to stay together and move as a cohesive unit. This way, we'll avoid getting separated and ensure everyone's safety."

Kintovar's eyes met those of her team, her trust in their abilities unwavering. "Let's gather together, focus our energies, and move forward as one.

Aliana raised a question.

"Isn’t that going to be difficult for you and Haras, considering you both have never had any magical powers?" she asked.

Kintovar smiled confidently, her response carrying a touch of humor. "Forming a sphere is simple trigonometry," she replied. "It's all about balance and coordination. We may not have magical powers, but we have intelligence and technology on our side. We can do this much, Aliana."

Kintovar and Haras stepped forward, ready to demonstrate their unique abilities to form spheres using Mystimona's magical energy. The group watched with keen interest as the two non-magical members of the team prepared to create their protective barriers.

Haras closed her eyes for a moment, visualizing the sphere she intended to create. It was a simple matter of thought and intention for her. She then spread her arms wide, her body surrounded by a translucent, shimmering sphere of energy. It was a remarkable sight, a testament to the power of technology and intellect.

Kintovar, not one to be outdone, followed suit. She, too, closed her eyes briefly, focusing her thoughts on the formation of a sphere around her. Her own sphere, while similar to Haras's, had a distinctive touch of advanced technology, with data streams and energy patterns swirling within it.

The group watched in awe as Kintovar and Haras demonstrated their prowess. Haras, with a bright smile, exclaimed, "Kintovar is always right! This is amazing!"Her enthusiasm was contagious, earning nods and smiles from the rest of the team.

With the two spheres formed, the rest of the group followed suit, creating their own protective barriers using Mystimona's magical energy. Each sphere had its unique characteristics, reflecting the individuality of its creator.

Then came the moment of truth. Kintovar and Haras took the lead, combining their spheres into one giant sphere that encompassed the entire group. The process was smooth and efficient. Inside the giant sphere, the group felt a sense of unity and protection.

Kintovar nodded in satisfaction, her gaze sweeping over the group within the sphere. "We're ready," she declared with confidence. "Let's move forward, together."

As the group moved together within the protective sphere, the tracking device's display began to show their progress. The numbers were steadily going down.

With each hundred miles that the device counted down, a grin on Kintovar’s face grew. The city, with its complex environment and challenges were waiting for the doctors of technology.

"Hey, how much longer is this gonna take?" Becky spoke with frustration, "I'm itching for some action, not floating around in this fancy bubble all day!"

"We're making good progress," Kintovar assured them. "We've covered 300 miles, and we're getting closer. Just a little more patience, everyone. We'll reach the city soon."

Risebelle, maintaining her seriousness, spoke up, also addressing Becky's question. "We need to remain focused on our goal. Impatience won't help us achieve it. We're close, and every mile brings us nearer to our objective."

As the group continued their journey within the protective sphere, hunger gradually became an issue.

Roselle spoke first, “You know, it’s strange," she said. "Even though we're creations, I still feel hungry... But it's not as frequent, and it goes away whenever I end up sleeping, but right now, I can’t ignore this feeling..."

Risebelle, maintaining her serious demeanor responded, "Well, I don’t know why our bodies work like this, but we only need to eat once a day, and when we sleep, the feeling of hunger ends up going away." she said,

Runebelle, the youngest of the sisters, chimed in with her experience. "I haven't felt this kind of hunger before," she said with her usual sadness deepening.

Kintovar raised one finger and explained, “Your bodies are a blend of advanced technology and magic. They're designed to be efficient and self-sustaining, but you still feel the need for hunger every once in a while. It is a sign that you three still share some human traits like the rest of us."

"Well, if we're gonna eat, let's make it a feast when we get to the city!" Becky exclaimed.

Haras chuckled at Becky's enthusiasm, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Oh, you can count on it," she replied with a mischievous grin. "I've just been thinking of all the delicious foods we can create in the city. From fancy pastries to exotic dishes, oh you’re all in for a treat!"

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Kintovar smiled. "When we get to the city, we'll have a grand celebration," she said. "A feast like no other to mark the beginning of our mission.”

Te group pressed forward in their protective energy sphere. The anticipation grew with every mile they covered. However, when they reached the 500-mile mark, their progress came to an abrupt halt. It wasn't an external obstacle that stopped them, but an invisible force field that surrounded the massive city in the distance.

Kintovar, who had been closely monitoring their journey, observed the barrier with a furrowed brow. She adjusted her glasses and examined the now visible shimmering blue energy field that stretched as far as the eye could see. "It seems we've encountered an unexpected obstacle," she said with her gaze fixed on the distant city. "There's a colossal barrier surrounding the city, and it's preventing us from getting any closer."

Risebelle, her serious demeanor now tinged with annoyance, raised her concerns. "What do we do now? We can't just turn back."

Roselle, ever the optimist, chimed in. "Maybe there's a way through or around it?”

Kintovar nodded in agreement. "Maybe. There has to be a way to breach this barrier."

Kintovar's mind worked quickly to assess the situation. She tapped on her holographic device, attempting to gather more information about the barrier. However, the data she received was limited.

Becky raised up her weapon. "Maybe we can break it down! I've got my hammer ready!"

Kintovar considered their options. "Breaking it might not be the best idea," she cautioned. "We don't know the nature of this barrier, and a brute force approach could have unintended consequences."

Gaiza turned to Aliana for guidance. "Princess Aliana," Gaiza asked, "do you have any insights on how to proceed?"

Aliana' delved into her memories, recalling a moment from her past. The others watched her intently, waiting for any insight she might offer.

After a pause, Aliana spoke, "I... I have a faint memory. It's from my younger days in the city," she began, her gaze unfocused as she relived the recollection. "I was being casted off the island, but I don't recall why. Someone with levitation abilities took me miles away from here."

The group listened attentively, “I remember a fight, and the last words the person said were 'die.' Then... I was struck with a sword so hard in the chest that I went through the barrier from the 500-mile distance between it and the city. When I woke up, I was in the Mystical forest.. That’s when Gaiza found me at the magical academy...”

Gaiza's eyes widened as the memories of that fateful day rushed back to her. She vividly remembered finding Aliana washed up on the shore, injured and unconscious. It was a moment that had changed both of their lives.

"I remember," Gaiza said softly,"That day... it was as if fate brought you to me. I couldn't just leave you there. I had no idea who you were or where you came from, but I couldn't let you die, princess."

Aliana nodded, her gaze locking onto Gaiza's. "And you saved me," she said with gratitude. "You brought me into the Magical Academy, and that's where our journey together began."

Kintovar's analytical mind processed the information. "So, you're saying that a sudden surge of energy or a powerful impact allowed you to breach the barrier," she summarized.

Aliana nodded, confirming Kintovar's understanding. "Yes, that's what happened. It was like a burst of energy that propelled me through the barrier and into the forest."

Risebelle, who had been listening intently, spoke up, "Then, we need to replicate that burst of energy. If it worked for Aliana, it might work for us."

Becky, eager to put her strength to the test, raised her hammer with a grin. "Then let's give this barrier a taste of my hammer!"

Kintovar shook her head. “Hold it!”

Becky she stomped her foot on the sphere with an exaggerated pout. "Aw, come on, doc!" she protested. "I just wanna smash something! This barrier's in our way, and my hammer's ready to let it rip!"

Kintovar remained composed. "Becky, we need to approach this with caution," she explained. "Smashing the barrier might have unintended consequences. We need a more precise and controlled approach."

Haras, who had been relatively quiet during the discussion, added her input. "Kintovar is right," she said calmly. "We should consider Aliana's experience and aim for a controlled release of energy, rather than brute force."

Becky crossed her arms, still visibly frustrated.

"Fine, fine," she grumbled. "But if this doesn't work, I'm giving that barrier a piece of my mind."

Kintovar nodded in agreement, acknowledging the importance of explaining their plan to the group. She stepped forward, and began her speech towards the group.

"Alright, everyone, our goal is to replicate the burst of energy that allowed Aliana to breach the barrier. To do that, we'll need to gather our magical energy and compress it into a single streak."

She gestured to the protective sphere they had formed around themselves. "We'll temporarily merge our spheres into one, creating a tight space. It might be uncomfortable for a moment, but it's necessary."

As Kintovar spoke, Sybil looked on and murmured softly, "Getting close..."

The group squished together tightly to merge their protective spheres into a single streak of magical energy, the reactions varied among the team members:

Becky Grumpy and eager to smash the barrier, she suddenly felt hands near her private part, causing her to throw a fit. "Hey, watch where you're puttin' those hands, unless you want me to smash it!"

Sybil was shaking. She trusted the group but hadn't been this close to them before. She clung to her comfort zone, which was being near Becky.

“It’s just me, Becky. Sorry.”

Gaiza was visibly nervous, her proximity to Aliana causing her heart to race. She had admired Aliana from afar for so long, and now they were pressed close together in this tight space. Gaiza's usual composure was wavering, and she tried to steal glances at Aliana without being too obvious.

Elena, in contrast to her usual demeanor, clung onto Gaiza with fear in her eyes. "Gaiza, please help me," she pleaded. "I can feel their anger and distrust. They think I helped the headmaster. I'm scared.”

Haras held onto Kintovar with a grin."Well, this certainly reminds me of our first date, Kintovar. Only, we didn't have a barrier to break through that time!"

Kintovar raised an eyebrow at Haras' comment. She leaned in slightly with curiosity.

"Date?" Kintovar echoed, her tone laced with amusement. "Haras, I think you're recalling something utterly preposterous. We haven't had time for such things."

"Oh, you're right, of course," Haras replied with a playful wink.

Mystimona getting close, didn’t seemed unbothered by the tight squeeze. She casually commented, "I don't see what the big deal is, everyone. It's just for one moment."

The group took a collective breath while charging their magical power to its fullest. They reached the point of no return, where the barrier was only a few yards away. In unison, they released their magical energy, propelling themselves forward with all their might.

The streak of magical energy surged forward, its velocity increasing exponentially. They were like a comet streaking through the night sky, leaving a dazzling trail of colors in their wake.

The barrier loomed closer. Did they manage to replicate what happened to Aliana?
