The hotel room was dimly lit by the early morning light as a sense of calm tranquility hung in the air. The events of the previous night seemed like a distant memory, replaced by the stillness of the new day. Kenji and Moka were still asleep, the weariness from their recent training and battles allowing them a moment of respite.

But as the first rays of dawn began to filter through the window, a sudden knock at the door shattered the peaceful atmosphere. The sound echoed through the room, jolting Kenji awake from his slumber. Rubbing his eyes, he sat up, blinking in the soft light.

Moka stirred beside him, her eyes fluttering open. "What is it, Kenji?"

Kenji's brow furrowed as he swung his legs over the side of the bed. "I'm not sure, but I'll go check it out."

As he stood and walked towards the door, Moka sat up, her curiosity piqued. The door creaked open, revealing Yukari on the other side. She offered a sheepish smile.

"Morning! Sorry for waking you up," Yukari greeted.

Kenji yawned and stretched. "It's alright, Yukari. What's going on?"

Yukari's gaze flickered between Kenji and Moka, her excitement evident. "Well, I wanted to talk to you about something. Mind if I come in?"

Kenji stepped aside, allowing Yukari to enter the room. Moka watched with interest as Yukari's expression became more serious.

"Okay, so here's the deal," Yukari began, her voice hushed. "I've been working on a teleportation spell. You see, I can teach it to you, Kenji, but there's a catch."

Kenji arched an eyebrow. "A teleportation spell? That sounds useful. What's the catch?"

Yukari's gaze shifted to Moka, a hint of apology in her eyes. "The spell is meant for witches, and it's a one-time use for non-witches. It's not easy to learn, and it's a bit risky. But if you're interested, it could be a game-changer."

Moka's curiosity got the better of her, and she leaned in. "A teleportation spell? That could be incredibly helpful, especially considering what we're up against."

Kenji's mind whirled with the possibilities. Teleportation could provide a tactical advantage, allowing them to move quickly and efficiently. But the idea of using magic, even for a single use, was daunting.

He looked at Yukari, his determination clear. "Teach me the spell."

Yukari's eyes lit up, and she grinned. "Alright! It won't be easy, but I'll do my best to teach you."

As the morning light continued to fill the room, a new sense of purpose settled over them. With the prospect of mastering a teleportation spell, their arsenal of abilities was expanding. Little did they know that the challenges ahead would put every skill they had learned to the test.

Just as they began the training, the tranquility of the morning was shattered by a distant rumble. The ground beneath them shook, and a sense of foreboding hung in the air.

"What was that?" Moka asked, her voice tinged with concern.

Kenji's brow furrowed as he turned his attention to the window. "I'm not sure, but something doesn't feel right."

As they exchanged uncertain glances, the ground trembled beneath them once more, the distant rumbling growing louder. The air seemed to vibrate with an unsettling energy, and a feeling of unease settled over the room.

Just as they were about to discuss the strange occurrence further, another knock at the door interrupted their conversation. This time, it wasn't a soft, cautious knock—it was forceful and urgent. Kenji's instincts went on high alert.
