Ch. 3: Magic School

The next day, Luz, Eda, and King were on the beach.

'This is NOT going to be fun.'

"Well, Luz, have you ever seen anything more beautiful than the?" Eda asked with a grin.

"On Earth or in Hell? Because that's a "no" on both." Luz said, shaking her head, "Eda... it's a rotting fucking corpse!"

"I know, but that's a good thing!" Eda said, gazing back at the giant corpse. "A trash slug's life is not without purpose."

"And what purpose is that?" Luz asked Eda.

"They eat the garbage that end up in this world, peacefully living... until a big wave comes by and BLAM... they croak from a big thing of salt." Eda said, "Now come on, the stomach acid should be ineffective now... I think."

"Even if it was effective I could still heal but why are we doing this?" Luz asked.

"Cuz some of the stuff it ate is human stuff that somehow was transported through the sea." Eda said, pulling out a pick axe.

"Yeah, that sounds... lame." Luz said.

"Pffft, you just haven't experience it first. Trust me, your first time is always a hoot!" Eda said, offering the pickaxe to Luz.

"Uh, I'm good." Luz said.

"King?" Eda asked, offering it to him.

"No thank you! I just got these royal clothes and I don't want to get it stained." King said, gesturing to his royal suit.

"Hey, how about you teach me some witch lessons, maybe it can help with my demonic magic." Luz said.

"I'm planning on it, I just need to restock for my stand. This can also be a lesson in being resourceful if you lose your fancy book again." Eda said, walking to the trash slug.

"Uh, my Demon Tome is bonded to me by blood." Luz said, "If it's near me, I can summon it at will."

"Yeah, yeah, just come over here so I can show you how to be resourceful."

Luz rolled her eyes but followed Eda to the giant corpse as the older witch swung the pick axe at the eye, making it break like glass! Eda reached her hand inside and pulled out some kind of spiky ball covered in blood.

"See, Luz, what is this?" Eda asked, handing the ball to Luz.

"Uh... something covered in the most delicious drink in the world?" Luz asked, "I think I'm going to head home, learn some actual important spells."

"Hey, you never know when you need a blood covered ball." Eda said, "But fine, go home and learn your own thing. You'd probably love the school."

"School?" Luz asked, intrigued.

"Hexside, it's the magic school in town that teaches you the "proper" way to use magic and restrict your potential to only one of nine magic tracks." Eda said, rolling her eyes. "Take my advice, being a wild witch with unlimited magic potential is much better than that."

"Uh, I'm a demon with uncontrollable magic, the only three people that can stand to me are my dad, uncle, and grandfather." Luz said, "They have no ability to restrict my magic and powers."

"You say that but the emperor might try with his coven sigils." Eda said, pulling out stuff from the slug eye. "But I'm confident in you, kid."

"You bet your old ass I am." Luz said to Eda.

"Who the fuck you calling old?" Eda asked.

"Can't hear you, going to practice magic." Luz said, opening her tome and walking away.

Eda scoffed at the antichrist girl with a smirk before going back to her trash slug digging. As she did that, Luz was walking through the woods, her face deep in her book. She wasn't paying attention and almost tripped over a root, if it wasn't for her natural agility. Without looking up from her book, she put a hand on the ground and flipped over it.

'Hmm, must be an exposed root.' Luz thought, landing in her feet and continuing to walk.

And then there was another, and another, and after the fifth one, Luz realized that something was going on.

"Okay, this isn't normal." Luz said, closing her book.

She looked up and saw multiple vines waving around wildly and the source appeared to be a witch girl around her age with her back to Luz. She turned and gave a glare, showing her eyes glowing with green magic. Luz flipped through several vines, backflipping, cartwheels, everything to get through them. The only reason there was a way to stop this was to attack the witch responsible for it... And that's what Luz was trying to do.

'It seems like she's too emotional to even see she's attacking me.' Luz thought before pulling out a weapon from her tome. 'I won't kill her but I'll just knock her out!'

She slipped on a black pair of knuckle dusters and ran at the girl. More vines grew from the ground as Luz dodged them as she got closer to the witch, pulling her right fist back!

'Sorry, random girl, but it's time to wake up!' Luz thought.

Luz clocked her right in the jaw, knocking her to the ground. Luz waited a second before making sure she was okay.

"Hey, are you okay?" Luz asked, lightly tapping the girl.

She groaned as she opened her eyes. Luz opened her book and ran a finger down the page.

"Inta valouse inchalitca!" Luz said, healing the girl.

The girl suddenly found the pain she just received fading, almost as if she was never hit in the first place by Luz.

"Hey, wake up." Luz said.

The witch blinked slowly before seeing Luz in front of her, memories of what she did coming back to her.

"Oh, I am so sorry!" The girl said.

She looked over Luz for any injuries, but saw that she was completely fine. Not even a scratch or a tear in her clothes.

"It's fine. Wrath is a powerful but a blinding weapon." Luz said to her, "By the way, that was really cool."

"Thanks, but... I shouldn't be doing Plant Magic." Willow said.

"And why not?" Luz asked before looking at her clothes and remembering what Eda said, "Oh, let me guess, you're in a school magic track that doesn't fit you."

"Well, yes, but my dads say that there are more magic opportunities with abomination magic than plant magic." Willow said, adjusting her glasses.

"That's stupid." Luz said, "If my dad was here, he would walk into the principal's office and kick his ass."

'Also eat his soul.' Luz thought.

"Uh... that's... scary." Willow said, before noticing something, "Wait... you're... human?"

"Well, technically I'm half demon." Luz said.

"Really?" Willow asked in surprise.

"What? Never seen a human-demon hybrid before?" Luz asked.

"No." Willow said.

"Well-" Luz reached up and snapped her neck, "Now you have."

Willow jumped from this as she saw Luz's neck suddenly fix itself like nothing happened.

"Y-Your healing ability i-is on par with the... the healing coven head!" Willow said in shock.

"I don't know who that is but I'll take your word for it." Luz said to her, "So, what is it you do?"

Before Willow could answer, a cauldron behind her fell over, spilling the contents over.

"I fail, that's what I do." Willow said.

"Okay?" Luz said before looking at the purple muck on the ground. "What is that exactly?"

"It was suppose to be an abomination, a golem of magic mud but instead it's just a mess on the ground." Willow said, "I'm going to get another F. I'm just so sick on being called Half-A-Witch Willow, I'm sick of getting bad grades, and I'm so sick of Amity and Boscha bullying me!"

Before Willow could spiral into another rampage, Luz flicked her forehead!

"Ouch!"

"Insulting yourself won't change anything." Luz said, "Come on, you can figure something out. What if I help you?"

"You can?" Willow asked her.

"Sure. I've got my own kind of magic that might just be able to help you. Now, what are Abominations?" Luz asked, as she began flipping through her book.

"Well, abominations are magical golem constructs typically made of a purple ooze-like substance. They're rushed for a variety of things and can be changed to whatever shapes you want." Willow said.

"Even into weapons?" Luz asked.

"If you're skilled enough, yes." Willow said.

"Hmm, no spell like that, but I do have a spell that can let me take control of any item." Luz said, "I got an idea, I can use the goo, control it around myself, and basically act as the abomination."

"What?! But that's crazy!" Willow shouted in shock.

"Girl, you don't even KNOW crazy." Luz said to her.

"You're just going to pretend to be an Abomination?"

"No, I'm going to be the skeleton of one." Luz said.

"They don't even have skeletons!" Willow said.

Luz punched through her own stomach and pulled out her spinal column.

"Would ripping out all my bones work?" Luz asked, "I can just regrow them later."

Willow flinched and gagged at this, not expecting to see something so gruesome and Luz to just talk about it like it's nothing.

"No, please... please don't do that." Willow said, nearly throwing up.

Luz just shrugged before putting her spine in her mouth and sucking it down her throat and back into place.

'Hmm, I taste spicy.' Luz thought as the hole she punched in her own stomach healed itself.

Luz then laid in the goo and looked at Willow.

"Can you pick up my book and hold it towards me?" Luz asked, "Page 689."

"O-Okay." Willow said as she finally swallowed her bile.

She looked to Luz's tone as it floated next to her, slowly grabbing it and turning the pages. She held it out to Luz.

"Asnta sevol icanata!" Luz chanted, causing the abomination goo to come under her control and move around her.

Willow watched in silence as it took form around Luz, becoming exactly like an abomination but with mauve and red colors instead of mauve and purple.

"Uh, that's... not normal looking, but it's fine." Willow said, lifting the cauldron, "Okay, get in the cauldron."

"Okay." Luz said, trudging herself to the cauldron.

"Also, abominations don't talk and follow orders very specifically." Willow said to Luz as she climbed inside.

'This is going to be a disaster.' Willow thought.

Willow put the lid back on top before pushing her cart towards school, taking several deep breaths to calm down and hope this plan actually works. The only thing that calmed her was the fact that Luz can clearly not be injured.

'I wonder what exact demon half Luz is?' Willow thought.

There were no shortage of demons, from all range of sizes. What confused Willow, was that Luz didn't look remotely like any of them, not even a little. Maybe it was a very humans looking demon that didn't show demonic features until puberty like other certain demons. Willow was unsure.

'Maybe I can ask her if today goes well.' She thought as the school bell rang from a distance. 'Better hurry our I'll be late.'

Willow made it to the school and went to her locker.

As she did, Luz used a little X-ray vision to look through the cauldron and take in the magic school herself.

'Wow, this place is pretty cool.' Luz thought.

'Hm, I see a lot of different uniform colors, I wonder what each one represents.'

Luz would have to ask Willow when they had time alone, though she was even more curious about the glasses wearing girl tickling her locker like beast to open for her books on its tongue!

'Okay, that is REALLY cool!' Luz thought, instantly liking the living lockers.

'I wonder if they're metal or meat.'

As she was curious about it, someone with dark skin and reading a human magazine was walking up to Willow.

"Willow! You're not gonna believe this! Did you know humans put metal fences in their mouths?" He asked, showing Willow a human world magazine with a dentist ad.

"Hehehehe, I'm sure they do it for a good reason, Agustus." Willow said to him.

"But what is it? Some form of control? To keep tiny creatures inside of their mouths?" Agustus said, looking back over the magazine.

'Oh dear Grandpa, that boy is ill-informed.' Luz thought.

"Wow, you don't know much about humans do you?" Luz asked from in the cauldron

Willow flinched from this as Agustus turned to the cauldron in confusion.

"Willow, did something just come from your cauldron?" He asked.

"No!/Yes." Willow and Luz said, making the latter groan.

Willow just took her glasses off and pinched the bridge of her nose. Luz didn't seem to understand how important it was that no one finds out about her... probably because she's never actually had to worry about things like this. She was the Princess of Hell, able to command any demon/servant she wanted to her whim, while on Earth, she never has to worry about people hurting her, because she could easily heal... well, against Holy Items, but those definitely wouldn't be here.

"Agustus I am about to show you something but you have to PROMISE not to say anything. Like you're making an everlasting oath." Willow said seriously.

"That serious?" Agustus asked in surprise.

"Extremely serious." Willow said, putting her glasses back on.

"Okay." Agustus said.

Looking around, Willow quickly took the lid off her cauldron.

"Abomination, rise." Willow said.

Luz rose from the cauldron. She rose like the demon girl from the Ring movies, gazing down to Agustus as a single eye looked through the muck. The goo slowly moved away from her face.

"...I think I need to change my pants." Agustus said out loud, dropping the magazine out of fear.

"PFFFT! Hahahahahahaha! Oh... you haven't seen anything yet." Luz said, as her eyes rolled into the back of her head and blood came out of her mouth.

"AAA-" Agustus was cut off as Willow quickly covered his mouth!

"Luz! Stop scaring him!" Willow said to her.

"Okay, okay! Hahahaha, I'm done." Luz said, rolling her eyes back and letting the blood mix with the abomination goo. "Names Luz by the way, half demon half human."

"Half... human?"

"Yep. I take more from my mom but I'm still demon." Luz said, pulling some abomination goo back to show her ears. "See?"

"N-No way!" Agustus said in awe after uncovering his mouth.

"Agustusis a self made expert on humans and runs a club that studies human culture." Willow said.

"Agustus, huh?" Luz asked, "Mind if I call you Gus?"

"Where are her gills?" Gus asked, too shocked to answer.

"Gills? Like mermaids? Not all humans have them but I can give myself gills." Luz said before growing her own gills. "Like them? Not that I really need them even if I go into water, I am technically dead."

"Dead?" Willow and Gus asked in surprise.

"My demon half. It makes me technically undead." Luz said to them, "So, yeah, I don't actually breath. Which means I can survive being in places with no air, like space, water, lava."

"You are so cool and I have so many questions!" Gus shouted until the bell screamed.

"Is that your bell? Because that is COOL!" Luz said, looking at a bell.

"Looks like you'll have to save those questions." Willow said.

"We can talk at lunch. See you around, Gus." Luz said before slipping back into cauldron.

"Well, better get to class." Willow said.

"Me too. See you, Willow." Gus said, rushing off to class.

Willow put the top back on her cauldron and pushed the cart to the abomination classroom. She sat right behind a girl with green hair, pale skin, gold eyes, and a "I'm better than you in every way" smirk.

'Who is giving off an air of false superiority?' Luz thought, sensing it from the cauldron.

Luz didn't get to find out yet, as the teacher came in.

"Alright, students, quiet down! It's time for your abomination presentations!" The teacher said, short and bird like as he was carried by a pink abomination.

'Oh, this will be fun.' Luz thought.

Luz peaked out the top of the cauldron and watched as the students gave their abomination presentations. Each one was as different as the last and the teacher wasn't merciful with scolding them for their mistakes.

'Ugh, I've seen demons nicer than him.' Luz thought.

Even if he was a demon himself, Luz still stands by her comment.

"Terrible! All just terrible! I swear, if the next presentation doesn't "wow" me, all of you are getting extra homework for a month!" The teacher said.

'Oh, if I ever go here, I am so giving this bastard a piece of my mind, you should NEVER talk to students like that!' Luz thought.

"Excuse me, sir. I can go if you like." The green haired girl said, raising her hand.

"Amity Blight, my star student." The teacher said, smiling at her, "I'd rather save best for last."

'Favoritism, little bastard.' Luz thought as the teacher turned to her.

"Willow, you're next." He said with a grin.

'And he's targeting Willow. Even more of a bastard.' Luz thought.

The class groaned, knowing that this will typically mean more homework. Willow herself was worried about this as she glanced at her cauldron, worrying that Luz combined with her abomination might not be enough.

"Don't worry, Willow. We can do this." Luz whispered to her.

"I'm waiting, Ms. Park." The teacher said.

"Abomination... rise." Willow said.

Oh cue, Luz smirked as she PUNCHED the top of the cauldron and into the ceiling! Everyone gasped in shock as the abomination goo spiraled out of the cauldron and went to the ground, forming "it's" golem form but was a bit bulkier and had some red mixed in. Everyone looked surprised... Amity looked suspicious.

'A red abomination? That shouldn't be possible.' Amity thought.

"Abomination, bow." Willow said as Luz turned to her and bowed.

Luz was ready to show more, she wanted to go above and beyond.

"Abomination, lie." Willow said, pointing to the ground.

Luz groaned as she moved to lie on the floor.

"Surprisingly impressive. But I want to see something unique." The teacher said.

"Okay.....Abomination, weaponize." Willow said to Luz.

'Oh this is gonna be fun.' Luz thought, picking herself up.

Luz moved the goo around and formed a sharp blade where the hand was, then cut through the table. Everyone jolted from this, shocked by the sudden attack!

"Good heavens! Such power!" The teacher said in awe.

'That's sure to get her a good grade.' Luz thought.

"What else can it do? Can it speak?" The teacher asked Willow.

"Uh, yeah." Willow said, "Abomination, Speak."

"Darkness will come and consume everything you will ever love while you are tortured for all eternity." Luz said, changing the tone of her voice so she didn't sound to "Mortal".

The room went quiet, until the teacher started laughing.

"Pure evil thoughts, wonderful!" He said.

Willow let out a breath of relief while glancing at her "project."

'I don't even want to know how or why Luz came up with something like that but thank Titan it ended well.' Willow thought before clearing her throat.

"Thank you, sir. Now, abomination, cower back please." Willow said.

Luz did as Willow ordered, slithering back into the cauldron while grabbing the top from the ceiling.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but, excellent work Ms. Park!" The teacher said, "A+!"

Everyone in class cheered and clapped as Amity still looked unsure but gave tiny claps so show she wasn't COMPLETELY jealous. But she was suspicious. How Willow was able to do this was a mystery, and if there is one thing Amity hates... is a mystery. And she was going to solve it after class, no matter what.

Luz peaked out again and saw that Amity was suspicious.

'Oh, yeah, she's onto us... damn, she's pretty hot.' Luz thought, 'Too bad she seems to be an arrogant bitch.'

Luz kept her eyes on Amity for the rest of class, feeling her glaring at Willow and watching her for anything or everything.
