Explanations
Jaunt
Jaunt is an organization that picks up people with special eyes/powers like Marii Yukari and Alice Foyle[3].
According to Alice, it's an organization made to protect and nurture special children, having a school made for them and left private and has the government supporting it[3].
The name comes from a novel by Alfred Bester that refers to a fictional power to move a human being instantly by force of will regardless of walls or distance ( teleportation), but it can also be a metaphor for a mode of rebirth that changes the world[3].
Jaunting is a dynamic symbol of a fierce drive for power, a way for people to reach new heights, an innovation, adaptation, and the signpost to an open future away from stagnation[3].
Through these principles they seek to protect and support rare talents so they are not buried by the world and that they can find a better future[3].
Jaunt was also an acronym made from the initials of the founders of the organization and is a nickname rather then the organization's official name[3].
Jaunt is later found to be a terrorist organization stealing young kids and using them for research purposes, being one of the first entities to get Yukari killed.
