Elsewhere, Rei wrapped a scarf around his face to shield himself from the sand.

"Shoshin.  Where do we go from here?"

The sand was blowing up, apart from being annoying it was shielding them from prying eyes.
"Well each gate has a special locking system, you either need to hold an Arcana Alumni card, be temporarily or permanently granted access from your prana signature." Shoshin ran her hand along her sword, leading the guys through the sand towards the side of the building. 

"Good thing Tenko here absorbs Prana unadulterated. So the choice is yours guys either we sneakily get some Prana to use a key or we do a hit and run, but by then most of Isis would be on our case." She scanned her eyes across the Quad, alot of first years talking to upperclassmen, explaining to them the benefits of joining Isis, 2nd and third years explaining and showing tricks and abilities to the younger years, about maybe 23 people in total. The Sand Quad wasn't a fan favourite, it was too hot and dry at times with the sand whipping up to relaxing to most. The Stone and Wood Quad were the most beautiful constantly, but the Alumni who ruled them deterred visitors. The Snow and Steel quads were the choice for many students from all houses to spend free time, Steel was green grassy and quaint, while Snow was loud, cold but had a social warmth and the drinks never stopped flowing. 

If they were to fight, the three first years and two Lancers should be able to deal with them before Damien appeared if he so choose to. The choice was upto Rei and Shin.
