The little town was quiet.
Soft sunlight spread evenly across every inch of land.
Draping the town in a dreamlike veil.
However, the town, usually so peaceful, had been thrown into a chaotic farce by Ian's arrival, its tranquility shattered by a sudden upheaval.
As for the cause of it all.
It was naturally Pandora's mistaken attack, which had led to Morgan being assaulted without warning. The annoyed bad woman then took her anger out on Young Wizard Ian, making him suffer an unforeseen disaster.
"Hide? You're still hiding from me?"
At first, Ian charged wildly through the town, searching everywhere without finding Pandora. But he was certain that Pandora had to be hiding somewhere.
So.
He chose to use magic.
"Everyone, ascend to heaven!"
It was actually Wingardium Leviosa, but since Ian was no longer bound by incantations when it came to such basic magic, he could chant whatever he wanted.
Judging by the effect.
It could be considered an enhanced version of Wingardium Leviosa. Giving it another name would not be inappropriate. Just like Fire God Opens the Way was actually an advanced application of Fire Magic.
Ian's wand traced a blinding golden flash, and every building in town—the bakery, the Blacksmith Shop, private homes, even the public toilets—trembled as they rose from the ground.
They floated thirty feet into the air.
Like building blocks held aloft by an invisible hand, they tilted crookedly as they continued rising toward the clouds. Several flowerpots rolled off balconies and shattered into a rain of pottery shards in midair.
Traces of lingering magical fluorescence seeped from the cracks between the bricks and tiles, refracting dreamlike colors beneath the sunset. Anyone unfamiliar with the truth might have thought they were looking at Castle in the Sky.
In reality.
These were merely obstacles
