*slap!*

That very same slap woke (Name) from her fantasies of being Princess Jasmine. She jolted from her bed to see Carla in her exceed form and was handing her a strange dress for her to wear...

     "Why did you slap me? I know only us in here," (Name) complained, rubbing her cheeks. "What's this?"

     "First of all, you were singing some kind of song, and second, that's the offered Scarabia dorm uniform specially made for girls," Carla replied with no sign of apologizing.

     "Oh, thank you."

     "... Hum... I can't eat... Another bite of that... Moldy cracker..." Grim sleep-talked. "... Tuna... Tuna... Mayo... Hah? When... Did I like... Mayo?"

*rattle* *rattle* *crash* The sound of the door started to get unlocked, there stood a couple of Scarabia students ready to take the three of them to work. (Name) squinted her eyes, observing how the Scarabia students stare at someone, but none of them are giving the magical power enough to manipulate someone...

    "How long are you gonna sleep?! Wake up!" One Scarabia student yelled at Grim.

     "Wha—?! What's going on?!" Grim jolted awake. "It's only 6 am!"

     "We will be marching 10 kilometers to the East Oasis!" The Scarabia student told Grim.

     "Ten kilometers of walking on a harsh desert?! Why'd we have to do something like that?!" Grim argued.

     The student took Grim out of the bed with (Name) and Carla silently following, "Stop complaining! The dorm leader ordered you to join! Hurry!"

     "GYAAAAH~!!!" Grim screamed in horror. "DON'T WANNA!!! LET ME GO THIS INSTANT!"

This is the situation while on their way to the Oasis. Carla didn't use her Aera, instead, she walked bare feet despite the harsh weather. Kalim was scolding everyone who's falling behind, no exceptions for (Name) and Grim. Jamil would cast an incantation enough for (Name), Grim, and Carla secretly to continue walking. So, Jamil's the good guy and Kalim's the bad one, or is it the other way around?

~ Scarabia Dorm - East Oasis ~

(Name)'s legs gave up as she knelt unto the sandbed. She was too exhausted. To be honest, as a member of a sovereignty family, she has never done this in her whole life, but she's lying that she didn't get her hands dirty from "eliminating" some people who killed her loved ones...

     "Huh?" (Name) muttered, taking a look around the place. "Why does this place looks familiar? The elephant... The genie... The prince..."

     "Hey, stand up, (Name)!" Grim yelled. "What're you spacing for? Did the heat finally get to you?" He asked.

     "All of you, stop!" Kalim suddenly ordered.

Carla slumped her body next to (Name) and the weak Grim. Catching their breath since it's not only hot in Scarabia, but also they haven't eaten a proper breakfast...
