"Shadow Ball!" Kizui hurled another glowing orb of dark energy at the enormous praying mantis. Grace, charged in wielding a mighty greatsword.
"Wrathful Smite!" she swung her sword, sending the monster tumbling.
"Nice work!" Kizui readied another spell. "Star Blaze Pistol!" She flicked a tiny bullet of yellow magic at the monster, blowing open its torso and spilling its insides everywhere.
"Phew!" Grace wiped the sweat off her head. Kizui wasn't exactly quite sure as to how Grace managed to run while wearing her dress, especially when compared to Kizui's outfit of choice. After some consideration and help from Grace, Kizui ended up choosing a red and orange magician's outfit with a black and orange cape. She also wore black pants.
"Well, that's another Tuition Quest done." Kizui held up the piece of paper they received in the mail. The assignment vanished into blue light.
"Phew! I'm beat!" Grace sheathed her sword and sat down. She pulled a rag out of her pocket to dab the sweat from her pores.
"Hey! I leveled up!" Kizui looked at her card. "Nice! Six more skill points! But what should I spend them on..."
"Maybe Wiz can teach you something," said Grace. "You do seem to have a pretty easy time learning her Skills."
"Good idea!" said Kizui. Grace tossed her sweaty rag in Kizui's direction. It flopped onto her face, turning her skin red.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Kizui tore the rag off and rolled about on the ground. "OW OW OW OW OW OW!"
"Are you okay?!" Grace got up.
"Oh gosh!" Kizui panted. "What the heck is wrong with your sweat?"
"Huh?" Grace picked up the rag. "Well, mom did say that goddesses sweat holy water, but that shouldn't hurt you. Or was it the Dark Magic?"
"Who knows?" said Kizui. She pulled out her broomstick and mounted.
"Are you gonna use that thing to go everywhere?" Grace groaned. "It's a nightmare on my back. Just pick me up when you start going back home, okay?"
"Okay! See ya, Grace! Onwards!"
Kizui shot off as Grace rested her head on the grass.
Before long, Kizui returned with a scroll.
"She said that there's a time travel spell in this!" she explained. "I wanna see if I can cast it!"
"Doesn't that sound a little dangerous?" said Grace.
"What could go wrong? Come on, let's go home so I can try it out!"
Grace sighed and got on the broom.
"I swear, every time I get on this thing, I'm always worried some pervert will look upwards as we fly over them and see under my skirt," said Grace.
"Just wear pants!" said Kizui. "Or sit sideways."
"The goddess of beauty must look her best at all times." Grace mounted the broom sideways. "Pants don't go great with my figure."
"I don't know, you make everything look nice." Kizui shrugged.
The two sister-like friends flew home.
When they got back to the mansion, Kizui ran straight to the library to try out her new spell, while Grace decided to watch in case something bad happened.
"Alright, here we go!" said Kizui. "Time reverse, my meaning hersed, to the past, preferably fast. Turn the clock back, bring a night pack, take me to the days gone by."
"What kind of magic words are those?" said Grace. But Kizui didn't respond, instead, she vanished in a flash of purple light.
"Kizui?" Grace's eyes widened.
