"His Unique Magic allows him to put a curse on whatever he comes into physical contact with."

"Why do you even think you should be in a position to worry over others than yourself? You fail to make both ends meet when it comes to song and dance. The experience level between you and Potato 1 is opposite of one another. You just don't want to admit you're dragging everyone else down with you."
.......
"I already told Vil I would make an enemy out of him if a chain reaction were to start.....If either of you stand in my way in saving Epel, you will regret it!"
........
"But nevermind that....I need to talk with you."

The waves gently lap at the sandy shores, sea-salt filled the air as the sun almost grazes the ocean's edge, setting off a skyline of orange and yellow, with pinks and purples.

A motorbike sounds off closer and closer until it reaches the beach and screeches to a halt. Two figures clamber off the vehicle. One looking windswept, and the other completely unwinded.

"Great! We made it." Deuce smiled as he kicks the kickstand of the Magic Wheel and props it up correctly and swings his other leg off and over the side to get off.

Epel followed suit, releasing a choke of air from his throat he held back since they left campus. His hair stuck up in all different directions from the whipping wind as he tried to tame them back to how they were before. "D-Deuce-kun.....You sure know how to pull a Speed Racer than I thought.....it kinda scared me...."

"I-I did....?" Deuce froze up. "I thought I went at a slower pace than usual....Er, n-never mind that." He shook his head. "But Ignihyde really knows their stuff on how to build a custom Magic Wheel. S'got lotsa features that just getting used to riding made it seem more expert than it looked."

"But overall, the drive was a fun one!" Epel nods enthusiastic, when his smile fell. "You sure about this? We ditched campus without getting approval from a staff member...." This made Deuce freeze up. Fuck, he forgot that part.....

"Crap....the only thing on my mind was to leave campus ASAP, the whole 'getting permission' thing slipped by me....guess we'll endure the screeching later." He smiles lightly at the end.

"Maybe Vil and the others are fuming at the thought now." Epel couldn't help but laugh at the thought. The silence engulfed the two, the only sound was the waves on the shore filling the silence between them. He looks out and absorbed the ocean line with wonderous eyes. "You know....this may be the first time I've actually seen the ocean since I first came to the island."

"Well, NRC is located by the northern mountains after all...." Deuce nods, remembering a picture of the island he saw in a geography book.

"And Royal Sword is right by the southern shores....." Epel memorized until it hit him.
