Michael immediately transferred himself back to Metropolis using the shadow he left on Jimmy.
As he opened his eyes, he saw that he was standing in the middle of the street looking up at a large building made out of stone bricks. And at the very top of the building was the name; DAILY METRO.
He looked around and saw people coming in and out of the building holding newspapers in their hands. Many of them were small kids the same age as him, probably working as newspaper boys that shouted Extra! Extra! in their usual route.
He even saw a glimpse of the front page title, which said; {Boy with Quad-elemental Mastery?!}
"Michael, you're here!"
Jimmy approached Michael and led him out of the sidewalk and near the walls of the Daily Metro.
"What is it?"
"I finally found something about that thing you wanted to know."
"That thing?"
"Yeah, the auction!"
Michael remembered that he asked Jimmy to keep his ears out for any talk about the auction in Metropolis.
