Chapter 12: Paws-on Pop Quiz

———————————————————

"And so kids, that's how you make "state of the art" takoyaki out of your kitchen items instead of purchasing gas grills. Any questions?" Korosensei asked in Bearin's laptop

"I have one. Why does Class A through D go back to school while we're still at home?" said Karma

"Good question Karma! Because of the nature of the Nonfictioner's ways, they're making the principal decide that Class E were dumb enough to be involved in the pandemic and possibly ruin our scholarship goals while we're not in school" he said

"So... you got any negative thoughts about this Bearin?" Karma asked her

"I think that they are doing modern remake fanfics about how we adapted to the modern world these days. But I missed you guys in person..."  Bearin moaned

"Don't cry, we might hang out somehow" friends on her computer cheered her up

A portal opened up again nearby, but this time it was on the road. Cloudless drifted into the parking space Akira style and we walked in the sidewalk of Bearly Square

"Bearin, I guess you're excused for today" her teacher spoke to her

"Thank you Sensei, happy Halloween!" Bearin logged out of her class and hid just as her mother instructed her to do to surprise a new student

"Is it just me or this place seemed too quiet?" I said

"Haunted house themed? Now this is sweet!" Jinpei smiled, "I luckily bought my costume"

"This is crazy, I should do a light spell" Ian casted magic spell that brought out glowing sun orbs to guide them in the mansion

I have scary thoughts about how those guys would do to me... I entered the kitchen to see Bakunyan, I felt his presence there. Cubbonyan followed me there and noticed something different, "I smelled something delicious..." he said

"I noticed several boxes of pizza there... wait" I stood back as my older brother gets closer, "man, they bought pizza without me... sure I guess Beargamot doesn't want me to eat all of his pizza again, but this is so full of-"

"BRAHHHHHH!!!" A zombie face of Bakunyan shot out and scares everyone

"I got you good! You are totally glutinous like your bear dad!" Bakunyan laughed

"That's not funny Nyan Dad" he said

"Yeah I know... but I was surprised that Lyn can see me in the box! You've got Materiality within you sweetheart!" Bakunyan smiled, "you got a solid A from me!"

"Thank you..." I said to him

"You must beware on going to the living room..." Bakunyan added

"Dad! You're doing the haunted house pop quiz again! It is frustrating!" Cubbonyan growled

"We better get a move on..." we left the kitchen and headed straight to the living room and noticed a water puddle in the middle of the room with the broken staircase

"They really have to stop doing this... these are my favorite stairs!" Cubbonyan moaned

"Hah! You might as well catch me without them then!" Vilgox whispered to them in his "Hangry Vampire" form

"It might be best to draw the ladder up to get him..." he said

"I've got a better idea" I used Texture and Form to shift the water puddle into an ice staircase

"Oh shoot, for giving away old Disney movies, I let it go!" Vilgox dashed to the library with a tail between his legs and Bearin was behind him, "did she make a staircase made of ice?"

"I'm afraid so! So you're turn Bearin!" Vilgox begged her

"Alright! Watch out for my Value!" She turned out the lights and I entered inside the library

"I don't recall seeing a light switch" I closed all my eyes and breathe in and out to see Value to find Vilgox

"Oh my gosh. I recall bumping into a small bookshelf with just one eye. I can't see very well in the dark, even though it's a necessary thing for Vampires" Vilgox whispered

"You're a half-vampire rabbit, that's why. You eat meat rather than your normal diet of vegetables. Worst of all, you prefer my brother's sour blood cause all the existing blood types are too sweet for you" she whispered softly

"Gotcha!" I said

"GAHHHH!!!" Vilgox and Bearin screamed

"I can hear you much from my Value, don't need Materiality for that" I explained

Bearin automatically turned on the lights, "well... then congratulations Bearin! You passed on Form, Texture, and Value!"

"You literally scared the pee out of me" Vilgox admitted

"I'm sorry, I often scare people without even trying" I said

"Don't bother, I'm totally hungry right about now and Bearlywrote forced me to not drink blood so I can go into a frenzy with you on her quiz" Vilgox drink a pouch full of AB blood, but added limes and lemons to increase the sourness

"It's fine, I've never seen you in this form. You have your ear, eye, and legs grown back in" I asked him

"It's only temporary Lyn, when I was quenched, my repaired parts of mine will be gone for a while until I'm thirsty again." He explained

"Now let's go to the bathrooms then! We will probably get either one of them on the tub!" Cubbonyan entered the bathroom and saw a boy there with a boy school uniform on, "Uhh... you're not Bearlywrote"

"Oh sorry, this bathroom is being modified into a transportation system via toilet" the boy said

"What?" Cubbonyan said

"By the way, check the bedrooms there!" The boy closed the doors

"Strange..." I said

"I never knew mom watched Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun" Cubbonyan answered

"Okay, to the bedrooms!" Jinpei chimed in with his pirate costume

———————————————————

"I noticed how much fun this movie was, I get to understand much about the day of the dead" Brother sighed

"How is that compatible with your holidays?" Akunogan frowned

"Obon is similar, but it takes place in the summer time" he explained, "Bearlynyan's holiday is pretty important to her cause of Caprinyan, you've been there with me. We crossed over to see people's pictures hanging up for the beloved people who recently passed away. My grandma and grandpa from my dad's side explained that to me when I was little, they used to see yokai and I hang out with them..."

"I'm sorry..." said Akunogan

I knocked the door and turned the knob to see my uncles, "um uncle?" I stuttered

"Hey Lyn! How's your trip so far?" Brother asked

"Well it was nice, but I have something important to tell your sister and my father" I said

"Now it's not a good time, they said that you're skillfully ready for their midterm. They turned this place into a haunted house just to scare you." He explained

"That's why they're doing this..." I sighed

"It just so happens too often whenever one of us mastered the art elements" Cubbonyan declared, "I was the first to be part of this tradition"

"That's cool. Did you pass?" I asked him

"I did, but it depends on your partial mastery in one of the elements or more" he said

"IVE COME FOR YOUR SOUL!!!" Lucky lowered down to my face

"You!" I smacked him with numb claws

"Ow...." Lucky groaned, "I came in to intense... but I think you got Mark Making down..." he passed out and Omari came down with Ugly holding a bucket of water and a white cloth

"Did they hit you too hard!?" Omari smothered him with comfort

"Don't try to work hard Omari... I will treat his wounds" Ugly rubbed the cloth with some lotion and placed it on the head

"I don't understand how much work you've put in this quiz?" I said

"Welcome to my world" Cubbonyan said it sarcastically

A huge rumble came in to the hallway and I immediately Line draw a flashlight cause Ian was at the bathroom with the glowing orb. Jinpei was calm enough to have me concentrate enough for my emotion to be stable and added Shape to fill in mass and added Color for the light.

The large shadow gasped and turned on all the lights in the house, "Lyn. I'm glad you are able to make it this far, not just for you and I, but for everyone here. Speaking of which, I have a run in with a visiting demon, he wants you to sign something along with my signature." Cuddly appeared scary as a large slim beast, Bearly Deadly

"What is it that you've got?" I asked

"It's if you're going to see your friends again someday... here." I read the deal contract. "Dad, it says I have to look after the twins from the world we've retrieved the first soil from. Did he wanted me to be a Yokaisona for his daughters?"

"I guess so, he wanted you to be their helper. So will you do it?" Cuddly said

"I, Bearly Izanami Bearlynda, shall take care of the two twins from the heir that taken his own path" I signed it and some notification came on my phone

Got your message Lyn, We are at your debt!
-The Yashahimes (Princess Half-demons)

"It came immediately on my phone! Did they have cell service at the feudal age?" I asked

"It must've been possible since you've been bonded with them, now that my friend's niece has a cell phone with wireless earbuds, a backpack full of crazy stuff such as bikes, and a violin." Brother smiled

"That's true. I do know that Shin got a call from Cubbonyan sometimes, even if the phone wasn't plugged in" I said

"Heh heh... I did scare the wits out of his mom when she wanted silence" Cubbonyan laughed

Bearlynyan and Bakunyan came out with smiles as I laughed at the memory.

"Having a good time my Lyn?" She said

"Hey Bearlynyan, I did pass the quiz thing!" I smiled

"That's good... but" she said

"But?" I asked

"But you haven't met my grandpa yet!? Abuelo! Yo tengo mi sobrina afuera conmigo!" She shouted in Spanish

"Yeah yeah my granddaughter, I will be there" the rattling of the bones came out with a large bottle of beer in hand, holding a cane and feeling energetic to see the family

"Did she say grandpa in Spanish? Great Grandpa Caprinyan!" Cubbonyan shouted as Bearin and Vilgox joined in and hugged him

"Hola! My precious children!" Caprinyan said to them

"Aww! I always hate that you come here every day once a year... but I miss you so much!" Bearin cried

"Me too... Where's that troublesome Beargamot?" He said

"He's busy with his friends" Bearlynyan said

"Oh. Well he did put up his ofrenda for me. I did check!" He smirked

"That's sweet of him!" She smiled

"Hi, great grandpa, I'm Lyn!" I said

"You smell prepared for art! But are you prepared for the Principles of Design, the second half of your art class semester?" Caprinyan asked

"No..." I admitted

"Well the time has come to you to challenge the new threat with power that flows evenly between you and Art Magic! Seek out the half as you find the remaining soils for the underworld! Find Balance, Patterns, Contrast, Emphasis, Scale, Harmony, Rhythm/Movement, Variety, and Unity... those are the only lessons left in your heart to follow." Caprinyan smiled

"Hey grandpa! I got you an offering!" Brother gave him an whole box of Hawaiian pizza

"Sweet! You know your grandma and I love pizza like this!" Caprinyan grinned

"I know grandpa, you, grandma, and Papi loved this pizza" I smiled

"I am very pleased! I shall take my leave! Farewell my children for next year if I want a drawing offering!" Caprinyan disappeared into thin air.

"It's sad to see him leave... but we must remember in in order for him to live a good afterlife." said Cuddly

"Dad, I must ask..." I stuttered

"Is it about the soil taken by the enemies?" Cuddly asked me

"How did you know?" I said

"The flower in your ear, it was supposed to die once the soil the plant adapted was stolen. Now I was partially wrong, my blood flows within you and the flower clings you as it's heat source. We must prepare to take cover for the soil we have, they will do whatever it takes to impress their master" He explained

"I see... I thank friends like that can help us stop Impyur" I said

"Then Honeycomb, you must learn The Principles of Design, the arrangement of the uniqueness of art. Many of the Nonfictioners are different from their looks, fingerprints, interests, and personalities, but the way they handle their style of art is their uniqueness. Cubbonyan has his own style from me and his Nyan Dad. Others can be taught or self taught, but what they decide to do, it is part of life of art for them. Now it's your turn, we must take you to Bearcat Caverns to start this new term." Cuddly declared

"How original, this vacation has been extended..." I said

(Chapter End)

Preview

Caprinyan: okay children! Tell me what is the difference between The Book of Life and Coco?

Jinpei: Umm I guess the introduction of gods running the worlds to keep balance?

Caprinyan: good. Gods from The Book of Life are relevant to the plot.

Ian: I remember clearly from Molina and Unkrich, the difference between them is the romance and the finding lost history to ones that we're supposed to be forgotten.

Caprinyan: you got good connections with un ratón

Ian: I'm pretty sure he said Remy from Ratatouille.

Jinpei: I don't have any idea what he said...

Cubbonyan: what he was saying is a rat

Lyn: I'm on the same page as Jinpei, I don't know what he said. I'm more bilingual to English and Japanese. The way modern Japanese civilians are teaching to the children nowadays.

Caprinyan: I have a great time appearing in this Halloween slash Día de Los Muertos chapter! I hope you kids have fun with your family, since you have more time!

Caprinyan, Jinpei, Lyn, Ian, and Cubbonyan: Next time on Multidimensional Surge 4: Four Arms the Charm...
