Welcome to Demon School Mania-San!

Nightmares

(3rd Person POV)

Exhausted. That was pretty much how Mania felt right now. You see... she woke up bright and early compared to the guys in the Second Chance Battler? Why? She had a very unpleasant nightmare. Well, she couldn't return to sleep, so she stayed awake for much longer than necessary. Because of her exhaustion, Mania's resting bitch face was on overdrive currently. She barely even registered the ad playing overhead that showed Stolas and another teacher talking about the Battler Party,

"Mania? You okay?" Mondo suddenly asked from beside her. The misfit class was eating in the cafeteria,

"Hm?" Mania blinked a few times before looking up at Mondo, "Yeah... just tired..."

"Mania was up pretty damn early." Kokichi snickered, "Even I couldn't wake up that fast! We had a huge nightmare pillow fight and-"

"Unacceptable!" Taka suddenly exclaimed, "Mania, it is important you spend at least 8 hours of sleep in order to make a productive day!" He scolded the goth,

"I know I know..." Mania groaned, placing her head against her hands. Mondo ruffled Mania's hair,

"Take it easy on her bro." He told Taka. Taka huffed and crossed his arms,

"Alright." Suddenly the entire cafeteria was alive with very loud cheers,

"Ngh..." Mania groaned, covering her ears. The noise was too much for her tired self, "What the fuck is that about?"

"Wow you're really out of it." Kazuichi commented worriedly, "The teachers made a video explaining the Battler Party."

"Someone summarize it for me." Mania demanded, nearly slamming her head into the table were it not for Kokichi stopping her with a well timed pillow illusion placement,

"Well..." Hiro turned to look at the monitors, "The Party's three days: the Eve, which is tomorrow, the Party Day, and the after party. There's three prizes, and-"

"I don't care for the prizes right now." Mania interrupted, rubbing her temples to relieve herself of the growing headache. Mondo once again ruffled Mania's hair in an attempt to help,

"You should really go take a nap." He suggested with a worried chuckle,

"She can't!" Kokichi retorted. Gonta scooped Mania up like she was a doll,

"Gonta and friends need to prepare our battler show!" He exclaimed, carrying Mania out of the cafeteria. Kokichi snickered and followed.

"Ughhhhh..." Mania groaned, lying back as Kokichi and Gonta constructed the stage for which their play would take place on,

"You tryna nap Mania?" Kokichi asked with a snicker,

"Shut uuuuuup." Mania replied, sitting up, "I got nothin better to do... you two are better at this than me."

"Gonta think we get this done quicker with Mania's help." Gonta suggested. Mania sighed and begrudgingly brought herself to her feet,

"Alright..." she then looked around, "Wait... where's Celthin?"

"Celthin told Gonta he gonna prepare something else for show." Gonta replied, using his vines to set up the canopy over the stage,

"Ah..." Mania sighed and stretched, "Alright, what do I need to do?"

________(The next day)________

Party Eve. It arrived quicker than Mania thought, but she was excited for it nonetheless, especially since she managed to get a full night's rest this time around.
