The next morning, Sarah received a private visit from the cat who saw Sarah with the Shining Rod in the forest. Her name was Emma Hanwood and she was the astronomy teacher at Skytree and Sarah's guidance coach. She gave Sarah her broom and asked about the rod. Sarah explained that she felt like she would meet Shining Chariot if she kept the rod, and once she does she would return it to her. Emma soon left, thinking about Sarah and the rod. Sarah was happy because she was going to learn how to fly a broom. Learning to fly was a requirement that all students must take. Sarah dreamed of flying so she practiced at home a lot. In class Sarah cast the spell multiple times, but the broom would not take off. Sarah was annoyed by this until she spotted some students practicing a baton pass for an annual broom relay at Skytree. Sarah soon discovered that Chariot won a race and decided to enter the race.
Later, Artemis took Sarah to a town in the world Skytree Academy was located in: Mystrallia. Artemis had to pick up a new broom at a shop in town that specialized in magical items along with magical repairs. The shopkeeper took care of Artemis while Sarah browsed the shop. There were a lot of magical items for sale, most of them being easy to use. Sarah then heard some rustling and noticed that it was coming from an old broom in a metal case. Artemis then came over and recognized the broom. It was an encahnted broom capable of flying on its own. It waa created by a powerful mage and called the Shooting Star. According to the shopkeeper, the broom grew out of control after its owner disappeared, which was why the broom was locked up. Sarah wanted the broom to win the race, but the shopkeeper refused to give Sarah the broom. Once the girls returned to school, Sarah was mad that everyone was rooting for Alma. Emma then arrived and gave Sarah a book about broom flying. Sarah gladly took the book and ran of to find a quiet place to practice.
Sarah read the book and repeated the spell multiple times, but the broom would not lift off the ground. While practicing, Lilly and Artemis arrived. Lilly then said: "I had a hunch before, but she's really an idiot." Sarah got mad and showed her and Artemis that she had registered their names in a form for the race. Artemis saw that the winner of the race would receive a special prize from the potion-making teacher. Lilly was then motivated to win the race just to get the reward. Lilly then put Sarah through some training exercises to try to get her to fly. One of her methods included bungee cords and another included a cannon. Once Sarah had enough, she tried the spell again, and it still would not fly. Sarah was continueously growing frustrated with her flightlessness. Which the girls had seen after Lilly's attempts. On the day of the Broom Relay, Lilly had set up a plan for her team to win. Lilly had put magic plants on all the brooms at the start, except for Artemis'. The plants slowed down most of the racers, but Lilly had set up more traps for the racers. Lilly had also given Sarah a potion that allowed Sarah to use her broom in an alternate way. However Sarah was then knocked off by the Shooting Star which one student had taken from the shopkeeper and attempted to ride. Sarah then decided to take the broom and use it to finish the race. The broom was just as Artemis and the shopkeeper described it. Sarah was soon knocked off when see ran into a flock of birds in the broom's path. Thankfully, Artemis arrived and saved her. "Why don't you call for a rescue party," Artemis said as soon as Sarah was back on the ground,"you will not be able to finish the race." However, Sarah was not giving up. She then got the cannon and fired herself out of it to the Shooting Star. Sarah then tied herself to the broom using the dangling chain from the case. "A few scratches won't scare me off," Sarah said to the broom, "I'll hang on forever if I have to!" Artemis was back at the starting line with Lilly waiting for Sarah. "Do you think Sarah's okay," she asked Lilly concerned. Lilly replied with a hint of joy in her tone: "Maybe she finally deciced to just give up." Just then they heard the annoncer of the broom relay. "Something's coming," the overexcited MC said. "Could it be? Sarah is actually flying on a broom!" The girls were shocked for they had never seen this kind of progress in the history of Mystrallia. Once Sarah caught up to Alma, she was dumbfounded, and yet agitated as well that Sarah had caught up to her so quickly. Sarah and Alma were neck and neck, and Artemis was cheering Sarah on with good luck. Right before Sarah got to the finish line, the chains came undone, and Sarah grip was so strong, it literally broke the locks containing most of the Shooting Star's power. Sarah fell of the broom with out anything to grab onto, and fell onto the track, but not before seeing the Shooting Star fly away free, majestically.
That evening after the race had ended, Emma came over to the trophy case to look at the picture of Shining Chariot. Emma then said to the picture: "She still has a lot to learn, but someday..."
