Noelle walked over to where the seeming mannequin replica of Rebecca was standing she noticed that it was even far more detailed up close than even the rumors and second hand story claimed to them to be. What really sold her on the fact that this might not just be a replica was that it was wearing the same exact clothes that she wore when she first met Asta after having to be dragged onto that group date by Finral. Getting up much closer Noelle was almost certain this was not just a mannequin but somehow this was indeed Rebecca having been turned into this.

Though Rebecca could not warn Noelle of the danger she was in as she was nothing more than a mannequin at the moment. Her body was made of plastic and her head was empty thus could give no warning of any kind.

Go back a bit in time…

Rebecca had noticed the mannequin that looked like her missing sister and in turn, she had been noticed by someone else.

"Our next target had been acquired" they said upon noticing her.

This was something that they were against doing as the place that wanted that mannequin was too close to where they had been acquired before being turned into one. It was a good idea that they had come to this place to ensure that would not be the problem so the plan would be the replace them with another one that would raise the same suspicious that this one had.

A few days later….

Rebecca returned to see that mannequin that looked like her sister was no longer there..

"It seems that the one that was originally there got recalled. Though to cover the cost of the recall they are seeming to get a replacement free of charge and right away" a person said that noticed she was looking up at the window display.

"It just that there seems to be strange they would recall them so quickly though," Rebecca said.

"Though might I ask where you are going all dressed up like that" the person asked

"That really not something I would want to talk about," she said.

She was wearing the outfit she wore during the group date because she heard that Firnal was going to be in the area. Though it was only brief they had met and thought that if she wore this than it would help jog his memory if he had forgotten her. Unlike Asta who she got to know better along with Noelle as well. Finral was one of the Black Bulls she only really knew from the stories. Which she did not believe at least fully but was well aware that he did act like a playboy that flirt with almost every woman he came across. She did not hold against him at least fully as given he was in the same squad as Asta and Noelle. That was probably just a personality quirk of his as it was not fully who he was.

"Than you might want to look out as I saw that supposed playboy of Black Bulls enter into that store over there," the person said motioning to door across the street.

'Was there always a door there' Rebecca thought as she did not know this area that well since it was developing rapidly all of sudden.

Going over there as she had held off on wanting to ask the Black Bulls for help but upon hearing Finral was going to be in the area she decided that it better to ask now as a request for Magic Knights, in general, would take too long.

"Let me get that for you" the one that gave her this information said opening the door for her

Rebecca than walk through as the person behind her followed her through the door that the door fell flat on the ground revealing there was nothing but empty alleyway down that way. Others that would pass by would only wonder why is a door just lying on the ground.

"Where are we and…huh" the red hair girl said as she bumped into something

"Erika!?" Rebecca said all of sudden as what was she doing here as she told her that she had met this new guy and was going out with them last time she heard from her.

"It's not her its…a mannequin," Rebecca said

She notices what she bumped into was indeed a display figure that looked like Erika complete with her black hair and everything yet was not wearing any clothes. Also notice that there was that Luca mannequin that was lacking any clothes as well.

"How….and where are we" Rebecca demanded of the guy that stands behind her.

"No one where you are going to be able to get away as we are not even in the Clover Kingdom or even on the same continent," the guy told her

They explained to Rebecca that he was a spatial magic user that could go anywhere he had visited at least once without any limit on distance. The drawback was that he could only use his magic by using doors as a medium. If there was no door than he could not use his magic at all. He was not without any mana but it was too a degree where he was not even chosen by grimoire despite trying multiple times.

"I might be alone and on a different continent but I just have to get past you then," Rebecca said.

"True if he were alone but he is not and you were being distracted by him. You can not no longer getaway you should not be able to move at all now" a second voice said.

Rebecca than noticed that they were right and that her body was no longer moving as she wanted as it seems frozen in place.

"This girl seems related to you in some way thus thought would be interesting if she was made to hold a mirror as you see what is happening to you," the guy said

Rebecca was turned to face the Luca mannequin that was indeed holding a mirror and she sees herself in it.

A woman then appeared over her shoulder looking at her in the mirror.

"My power is similar to his as we have grimoire on this continent but the people with massive amounts of mana or even those of your level are almost no existent at least where I came from. Thus I thought my magic was merely to stop people in place. No…no…no my power was so much more" she said.

Rebecca than saw that her skin was becoming a different complex and gain a sheen to it as well.

"You see my power was not to stop people in place. It only appeared like that because my power works differently on those with truly low mana and those with a decent amount starting around your level" she explained.

The older Scarlet managed to turn her head enough so that she was not staring into the vacant stare of her younger sister. Though the woman moved her head herself so Rebecca was stuck looking directly at the Luca mannequin.
"I apparently have the power to make people into mannequins. The rate of their conversion is based on the amount of mana they possess. If one does not enough then they can not be converted because I run out of it first. As long as I have more mana than my target my power will eventually work on them. It worthless power where I am from as the lower the mana the more they can fight. But just have what you people from the Clover Kingdom call commoner level amount of mana. You….well you can not seem to hear me anymore" she said

True Rebecca could no longer hear her as she had been completely converted into a mannequin herself just like her younger sister and her friend Erika.

Back to the present….

If Rebecca was converted into a mannequin that quickly with her level of mana. Than Noelle who naturally had a massive amount of mana was now being targeted by that same woman. Noelle did not even have time to process what was going on as the moment the magic had been cast.

Where a human once stood almost instantly was a silver hair mannequin wearing Noelle's clothes.

"That was even faster than I even thought was possible," the woman said as poked at the silver hair mannequin's cheek.

The feeling of plastic was clear and unmistakable. The light that was reflected in her pink eyes was merely from the lighting of the room itself. Her eyes themselves were vacant and lifeless. She neither reacts or movement at all as her clothes were removed and she was placed alongside Rebecca who had been stripped too. The only reason she had been up until this point was they were dealing with where to send Luca in place that would not get her notice this time and giving away Erika along with another order that had been delayed as result.

"Seem the test was successful as those of high mana by Clover Kingdom standards are instantly transformed the moment they come into mere contact with your magic," the guy said

Noelle mannequin's head was patted

"Thanks for being our test subject now where to place you and which one of Clover Magic Knights should we go after next," he said.
