Time passed as usual, with Takeuchi and Asaka choosing not to take any drastic actions out of fear of altering the timeline.
After a few weeks, they finally arrived at Akademia, the Catalyst Fables.
When Takeuchi stepped down from the carriage, he felt a vibration from his pocket.
It was the compass.
Remarkably, it was still with him even after they had traveled back in time.
This time, however, it glowed, and as Takeuchi held it, he could see a golden line guiding him toward the Akademia.
"What is this? It was never active before... What’s happening?" he wondered, bewildered. He decided to follow the golden line but only later, to avoid suspicion.
Following Melody and her guide, Takeuchi stayed close to Asaka.
The sight of the castle's grandeur left him and the other pupils in awe; it still hadn’t lost its magic, even though Takeuchi had seen it before and even lived within its walls.
