Episode 1-2/1-3 Great More weirdos


After a few hours of sleep, I woke up to a sound of knocking as I opened my eyes and could see a bit of light through the curtains. It's already morning, I sat up.

"Who's here now?" I said, again tossing the blanket aside and was about to go check to see, but the knocking stopped when I reached for the door. My thought was Ace probably opened it. So I went back to wake up Grim.

"Hey, furball get up. Remember, it's our day to shine." I kept shaking him until he woke up.

"Nnyaa?...Already morning?" Grim gets up and stretches his body like a cat that he is.

"Yeah, we're gonna be actual students of a pretty weird school." I said, kneeling down to grab a box from under the bed and I looked at it before removing the lid.

"What is this?" I hold up a perfectly, well-fit uniform made just for me. I checked it, unfortunately it came with a skirt. My expectations were wrong, I really wanted pants.

"Damn it Dire Crowley, why a skirt?" I puffed, and I looked at Grim. "Hey, can you turn around and not look? I'm going to change into this disgrace."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because I said so, and beside you're a boy." I said before changing into the uniform. Grim rolled his large eyes and turned around crossing his arms.

"Hmph, whatever. Just hurry it up, I don't want to be late!" Grim puffed.

"It's not like you wear clothes." I said, while removing my shirt and replacing it with a white sleeved one. Then buttoning it up and started putting on the skirt last.

"There." I said to Grim. "You can look now."

"Hm?" His eyes grew wide once he saw me in the school's uniform, and smirked. "Not too bad henchman, but you can't outshine me!"

"I dunno if this is the second time, but stop calling me a henchman and no! We're not competing!"

TMP TMP TMP TMP TMP TMP

Someone came up the stairs and approached the door, and knocked.

"Hey Freckles are you up?" I heard Ace from outside the door and Deuce too. "The crybaby Deuce is here too, so you better hurry it up!"

"Crybaby? Who are you calling a crybaby! You're the idiot who ate a tart."

"Huh? Ace and Deuce are here?" Grim said jumping off the bed.

"Indeed they are." I grabbed my phone, putting it in my pocket. The morons were still arguing when we got to the door.

"Will you two morons knock it off before I start knocking some asses on the first day of school!" I shouted at them, standing by the door as Grim passed through before I closed it. Ace and Deuce stopped once they saw me.

"Huh? Wow...I-I mean, you look great. The uniform suits you." Deuce commented.

"Thanks." I said, giving him a slight smile but I stopped when I noticed Ace was still staring at me from head to toe. I frowned at him "What?"

"Oh nothing, I never realized how fat your legs are."

Deuce and Grim went silent after Ace said that seeing how completely dumb he is. They backed away as I took off my shoe.

Without a warning I smacked Ace's left cheek, almost making him stumble back. He looks at me holding his face.

"Hey what was that for!?" I ignored his bigmouth while putting my shoe back on and walked past Deuce going down the hall to the staircase.

"Huh!? Hey! Don't leave me behind!.." Grim follows me down the staircase, leaving the boys.

Deuce sighed, shaking his head. "You're an idiot, you know that."

"Shut up." Ace mumbled, going to the staircase with Deuce behind him.

>> Main Street <<

There were already a few other students on main street we passed, as Grim skipped along in a happy mood. Shouting at every student to get out of his path.

"Hey, hey. Outta my way~ The Great Grim is making his way as a student of Night Raven College!"

"Yeah, make way for the Great Grim!" I said playing along, waving off the nearby students as they gave us weird looks.

"Look at my collar." Grim smirked, showing off his swag a little too much. "Unlike the lame thing around your neck, mine is very stylish. On top of that, you can't use magic, correct?"

"Grim what are you going with this?" A slight sweat appeared on my head. Seeing the furball is a little ahead of himself.

"You know! He'll make a really good janitor today! Nyaha! I feel good!" Grim beamed in victory. Ace just stared daggers at him as he made angry noises. Feeling so useless with the collar bound to his neck.

"Grrnnrrgh! I'll remember this for when I get my magic back!" Ace declared. "You too!" He turns his attention towards me.

"You deserved it, body shaming someone's legs. What's wrong with you." I said taking big steps away from Ace. "Where I come from people get hit for that."

"Does it look like I care?" Ace spat. "Don't give me your crap, you and that furball are gonna-"

"Remember." Deuce said, interrupting Ace. "The headmaster just told us yesterday not to make another scene...Nevertheless, you're going to have problems in class with your magic sealed." He continued, and brought up the apology topic. "Have you thought about apologizing to Dorm leader Rosehearts and have him removing it?"

"Crap. This won't go well at all!" Ace said, almost forgotten about it.

"We've still got time before class and I'm curious about the other dorms. Let's go observe Ace's apology." I heard Grim say, I nodded.

"Yeah, let's observe Ace Trappola's mistake."

"Okay this isn't a show! Screw this! Screw you, screw all of you!" Ace says, pointing at each one of us before stomping away.

I shrugged. "I don't sympathy him."

"Me either." Deuce said. "Anyways, let's get to the Hall of mirrors."

"Alright." I said, we all then headed to the Hall of Mirrors leaving main street behind us.

>>The Hall of Mirrors<<

Once we arrived, there were seven mirrors in total and each of them had their own different styles. I didn't pay too much attention to them, as we approached one mirror that had mushrooms on each side of it. It's frame was decorated with cards and roses. Above it, shows a heart symbol.

"Heartslabyul..."I said quietly and the mirror began to glow.

"Ready?" Deuce asks me before stepping through the mirror.

"Yeah." I said, feeling uneasy. Then I heard Ace sighing in front of the mirror with an annoyed expression on face.

"Let's go already!" Grim said impatiently, curious to see what's on the other side.

When I stepped inside the mirror, it felt like water. A gentle touch of lightness flowing through my body then the magical glow took us straight to our destination.

>> HEARTSLABYUL <<

There we stood at the entrance gate of the Heartslabyul dorm. It kinda looks like a castle out of a fairy tale and the scenery was beyond beautiful.

"Whoa..." I felt dizzy after coming through the mirror, and Grim stared at the sight in awe.

"Howoah! This is gorgeous! It couldn't be more different from ours!"

"Ours look like shit..." I said bluntly with a straight face. "But, it's still in development."

Once we entered, we came across a Rose maze, it was huge and the scenery felt nice and the scent of the roses reminded me of home, and Mom's flower shop.

But there were two things that seemed very weird which left me confused. I spotted a bucket of red paint placed on the ground and a ladder set by rose bushes. White rose bushes.

'Was someone painting the roses?' I thought and noticed a guy.

He was standing by the rose bushes and it looked like he was in a hurry.

"Crap, crap. I've gotta get these roses painted."

"Oh, somebody is here." Grim said, as the guy noticed us approaching.

"Oh, watch out." He said to us. "Any paint splatters and my head is gone."

"Ah, shit. It's all coming back to me now." I said, recalling the dream I had last night. Then Ace notices how distracted I was.

"What?"

"Nothing, just talking to myself." I said to him, and slowly looked away from me weirdly. As if I'm creeping him out, averting his attention to the guy we just met.

"...Hm? Do you all need something?" The guy asked us.

"What are you doing with that?" Ace asked, and I did too. "Yeah, my question exactly."

"Oh this?" The guy looks down at the stuff settled by his shoes, and begins explaining to us. "As you can see I'm painting the roses red."

"Eh? Why would you?" Deuce questioned, as him and Ace both looked at the guy. Like he lost his mind or something. Me exactly.

While the guy smiled, he stepped over the bucket of paint, to make his approach where we stood.Taking a good look at each of us. "Hmm, your fresh reaction is so cute! Now that I take a good look at you, you're the freshmen that busted the 10,000,000 madol chandelier yesterday."

Causing Deuce to avert away from his gaze.

"We're gonna hear about the chandelier until the day we graduate..." Ace mumbled, standing by Deuce.

The guy then turns his attention towards Ace, getting him by surprise. "And you're the one who added on more punishment by stealing the dorm leader's tart last night! I feel so lucky getting to meet the notorious newcomers first thing in the morning."

"Huh?..." I turned to look as we were all suddenly getting squashed together. Like peanut butter and jam.

"Hey, hey, hey let's take a selfie! Yay!" The guy exclaimed, bringing himself closer next to Ace as he held up his phone to take a group selfie.

CLICK!

Once he finished taking the picture, he backed away to take a quick look at it. The photo showed, Deuce looking confused as hell, Ace's eyes were half opened, like he was blinking during the shot. Grim was flexing his arms with a smirk. I just stared at the camera with a why am I here look.

I laughed at the picture of Ace, pointing at him. "Hah! Your eyes!"

"S-shut up!..." He snapped. "I wasn't ready!"

"Can I put this on my Magicame? Tell me your names so I can put you in the tags." The guy asked us.

"I'm Deuce Spade." Deuce said, then Ace. " Ace. Just Ace."

"I'm Grim, and my henchman here is Freckles!" Grim points at himself before pointing at me. I frowned. "Yeah definitely not a henchman Grim."

"Hoi, upload finished!" The guy said, once he finished uploading the selfie. He introduced himself. "Ah, I'm your senpai, third year Cater Diamond. Just call me Cater. Cay is fine too. Nice to meetcha~"

'Great. More weirdos with card names, how strange can this place get?' I shrugged not giving a damn anymore and introduced myself.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt, I'm Blair and don't listen to what Grim says. He's delusional."

"Hey!.." Grim hissed after he heard me.

Then Cater suddenly came closer towards me with awe in his eyes, I swear I can see them gleaming like diamonds.

"Whoa..." I took a step back away from him.

"So you're the crazy supervisor from the Ramshackle dorm I've heard about. I didn't expect the supervisor to be super cute! What's your phone number? Maybe we can go out sometime?"

"Whoa, take an easy bud, let's hang out as friends and we'll see what happens."

"Ah, playing hard to get I see~" Cater says, giving me a wink that I feel disinterest in. While Ace sighed loudly feeling uncomfortable and Grim looked annoyed as well crossing his arms."This guy is really running his mouth."

" Yeah, a little too much." Ace commented.

"Ah, I don't have any time for small talk!" Cater shouted, realizing the time he wasted flirting with me. "The party is in two days. I don't wanna lose my head for being late."

"That's kinda your fault." I said with a sweat drop. Not showing the slightest care.

"Ouchie." Cater pretends to be hurt, but smiles anyways. "Hey, you guys, will you help with painting the roses?" He asked, hoping that we'll aid him in his work.

"But why are you doing something so weird?" Ace asked.

"Red roses at a party are the most photogenic! I guess? I've also got to change the flamingo's colors for the croquet match, so I'm busy with all this work."

"You're changing flamingo's colors!?" Grim exclaimed. "Your chores are so weird."

" Everyone here is so weird." I said. "Honestly it's kinda relieving."

"So the tart that Ace ate was going to be used for the dorm leader's birthday party?" Deuce wondered. "That's why he was so mad..."

"Nope? That's not it." Cater said, before he could say more. Ace interrupted. "Wait it's not!? Then who's birthday is it?"

"Well, looks like you don't need me anymore."

"What are you talking about?" Ace frowned at me. "You're still coming!"

"Like I was saying, it's not anyone's birthday. The day after tomorrow is our dorm's traditional " Unbirthday Party." Cater begins explaining it to us. "The dorm leader chooses a random day that isn't anyone's birthday and we have a tea party."

"The heck is that!?" Ace shouted after Cater finished explaining.

"Later, worry about the reason later! All you have to do now is make the roses red! Deuce, Grim, you two can do it with magic." Cater said, giving us instructions to follow, then grabs two buckets of paint for me and Ace to use.

"Ace, Supervisor, since you can't use magic here's some paint." He gives each of us our own bucket, and paint brushes.

"Ah...Great. This sucks." Ace whined. "Hey be glad you're not hand painting alone." I said to him, holding my own bucket pain.

"I know that alright!"

"We can change the color with magic..." Deuce somewhat sounds amazed, and Grim being miserable than Ace.

"I've never done anything like that." With the slightest interest in his voice.

"Okay, if fine. Just relax!" Cater said to us. "We'll figure it out! We better hurry if we don't wanna lose our heads to the dorm leader~"

"You guys will not me." I commented.

Cater and Deuce both took out their wand like pens as Grim focused on the closest rose in front of him.

"See? Like this, do what I do." Cater tells them, carefully showing them how to turn the white roses into red. By aiming at one of the roses with his pen. "Then boop! It's red! Now you try."

"Alright, I'll give it a shot." Deuce does the same thing what Cater did, and points at a rose, focusing his mind and magically changes the rose's white color into red. "Did...Did I do it correctly?"

"Way a go! Keep doing what you're doing. Grim you give it a try."

"Hmph! Fine, I'll do it just so you'll stop talking." Grim said, while the two continued Cater came to us and smiled.

"Come on you two! Standing around won't get the job done!"

"Alright alright! I know, I'm getting to it." Ace shouted at Cater, as we both approached the rose bush that Deuce and Grim were painting.

"Too bad neither of us can't use our magic." Ace says while painting. I turned to look at him.

"Nah, I think they got this...Maybe."
