♡ CHAPTER 13 ♡

♡CAFETERIA♡

"Argh! Stop jumping around like that!"
*Unfortunately, Ace isn't from Savanclaw. That thing can't be catched.*

"Heh heh heh! Catch me if you can!"

"No fair climbing up onto the chandelier, you coward!
I haven't really learned flight magic yet...
What could I summon to hold into him...?
Hmmm...
Oh, that's it!"
*Deuce better not summon anything, cause Seele litteraly floats.*

"Did you come up with somethi-
Oh, hey! What are you doing?!
Why are you pointing your pen at me?!"
*Ace became half traumatized.*

"Because I'm going to launch you."

Maybe not throwing people, I can just float up th-

"Are you kidding me?! Bwaaah! Put me down!
Seriously, do not launch me!
Abort! ABORT!"
*Ace was preparing his lungs to scream.*

"Just make sure to grab him tight.
I've got him in my sights, and... Go!"
*Deuce threw Ace up to the chandelier.*

Wait-

"BWAAAAAAAH!"
*Ace almost fainted.*

"MYAAAAAAAAAAH?!"

The chandelier! Oh no, we're in trouble again...!

*Cough cough hack*
"I can't believe you just did that!"

"Myaaah..."
*Grim's head was spinning.*

"Oh, right!
I probably should have come up with a way to soften your landing after you caught him..."

"You complete and total moron!
We got Grim, but we broke the chandelier!
If the headmage finds out about this-"
*Ace just jinxed it, L*

"This headmage is everywhere. It irritates me."
*Veliona spoke in Seele's mind.*

"If I find out about... what, dear Ace?"
*Crowley jumped outta nowhere again.*

"Ah! Headmage Crowley...!"
*Everyone jumped, including Seele.*

"YOU. THREE. AGAIN. What have you done this time?!"
*Oh no, they did it big this time.
Seele warned them.*

"Tsk, these idiots should have listened to you.
They completely ignored the fact that you could float, instead they went with their weird ideas."
*Veliona spoke in Seele's mind again.*

It's fine. They were in a hurry.
It's okay if they didn't listen.

♡

"Myaaah... Everything's spinning..."
*Grim grabbed his head.*

"Burning a statue wasn't enough for you?
Now you've destroyed a chandelier?!
Enough. All of you are expelled."
*Wow, Crowley, chill.
Deuce didn't burn the statue.
While Seele didn't move a flinch.*

Ace and Deuce: Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

"Headmage, please!
Give me a second chance! I can't get expelled from this school!
I need to be here!"
*Deuce pleaded.*

"Then blame for your own foolish behavior."

(Crowley, I'll literally burn your house, including another chandelier♡)

"I'll pay for the damages! However much it costs!"
*Deuce, good luck.*

"That chandelier is no mere light fixture.
It is a magical chandelier. Its candles are powered by a magical energy source, enchanted so that they will burn for eternity.
It was created for us by a legendary artifice. Possibly their finest creation.
It has been here since the school was established, and I imagined it would be here forevermore.
Considering its historical value, I would estimate it's worth to be no less than a billion thaumarks.
And you intend to repay that sum?"
*Seele head was spinning from the explanation.*

"A... A billion marks?!"
*No one can afford that, if only it was a noble, royalty, or rich family.*

"B-But I'm sure with your magical talent, sir, you could snap your fingers and fix it right up!"
*Ace being a idiot #100⁰⁰⁰*

"Even magic has its limits.
Furthermore, it's magestone - the figurative heart of any magical artifact - is cracked.
A magestone can not easily be replaced.
I fear the candles of this majestic chandelier will never burn again."
*Well, the last part was sad.*

"This is bad..."
*Ace working its brain out #1*

"What am I going to do?!
How am I going to tell my mother...?"
*Deuce is sweating hard.*

Wait!
There should be a way to replace the magestone, right?
You said it... I don't care if it's dangerous. This chandelier seems to be very precious to you.
Just as precious as these students who want to graduate from this school.

"Now that you've said it.
There is one tiny sliver of chance to repair this chandelier."

*Phew*

Ace and Deuce: There is?!

"The magestone that powered this chandelier was mined from the Dwarfs' Mine.
If you can acquire a magestone with the same properties, it may be possible to repair it."

*Seele and Deuce's eyes shined as bright as the sun.*

"Then I'll go find a magestone!
With your permission, sir!"
*Deuce was determined.*

"I should caution you that I can not promise there yet remain magestone to find.
The mines were closed quite some time ago.
It is quite likely that all of the magestone have already been mined."

"I will do anything to avoid expulsion, sir!"
*Deuce was determined no matter what.*

We will do our best, sir!

"Hmmm... Very well, then.
I will suspend your expulsion for a single night.
But if you fail to return with a magestone by morning, then all of you are expelled."

Thank you, sir.
We will do what we can to retrieve a magestone!

"I understand, sir! Thank you very much for this opportunity!"

*Sigh*
"Fine, then. Let's hurry down there, find a magestone, and get this whole thing done with."
*Meanwhile, Ace didn't give much.*

"You should be able to reach the Dwarfs' Mine instantly by using one of the gates in the Mirror Chamber."

"Yes, sir!"
*Deuce grabbed Ace and Seele's hand and dashed.*

"Myah! Wh-? Where am I?!"
*Grim was still half awake.*

Well, things took an ugly turn, let's say..
But we're trying to repair the damages.

♡MIRROR CHAMBER♡

"Maaan... How did I end up in this mess?
I swear, I have the worst luck."
*Ace just complained.*

"We don't have time to complain.
Let's go.
Dark Mirror! Take us to the Dwarfs' Mine!"
