Liar, Liar, the Mage's Desire Vol. 1 (A New Oumeno)

That Time When Hiyoko Was Bullying Himiko and Kokichi Went All "Z-Snap" On Her

       "Wow, Himiko! You are an amazing magician!" Sonia Nevermind exclaimed. "Please, do another trick!" 

    "Nyeh...first of all, I'm a mage," Himiko corrected testily. "And it wasn't a trick. It was real magic!" Himiko and some of the other students were in the middle of art class, and instead of painting, Himiko was busy showing the Ultimate Princess a magic trick with her cards. 

   "Oh! Please forgive me, Himiko," Sonia apologized. "I didn't realize your magic was real! It is an honor to meet a real witch! Do you, by any chance, also run a delivery service?" 

   "No," Himiko replied. "And I'm not a witch. I'm a mage!" 

   "Pfff, don't believe that little broom-riding half-wit, Sonia," Hiyoko Saionji, the Ultimate Traditional Dancer, spat. "If she could do real magic, she'd do something useful with her talent like make herself look beautiful!"

   "Oh...my," Sonia said, not knowing what to say next. "Um...I believe that Himiko is beautiful in her own way." She smiled kindly at Himiko.

   "Beautiful?!" Hiyoko exclaimed. "Look at her! She's basically a butt-ugly sloth with red hair! Why don't you do something about THAT, you midget magician!"

  Himiko pulled the brim of her hat lower. "Nyeh...don't call me a midget," she growled. "I'm taller than you! And I'm a *mage!*"

   "Too bad you're not as pretty as me, though" Hiyoko spat. "And you're NOT a mage! When are you going to stop saying that crap, you Hermione Granger wannabe GryffinDORK? You're like a little four-year-old in a fantasy world! I'm ashamed to be in the same room as you, you wand-waving witch!"

   "Um...Hiyoko," Sonia chimed in. "Perhaps you should-" but Sonia didn't get to finish because Hiyok took a bucket of paint green paint and splashed it all over Himiko. The other students in the room gasped.

   "HAHA!!! There! Now your witch look is complete!" Hiyoko said, sneering at Himiko. "Now you're the Wicked Witch Bitch of Hope's Peak!" Himiko's eyes began welling up with tears. She stood up angrily, trying not to let the others see her cry. 

   "You...you..." she growled, green paint dripping off of her. Hiyoko crossed her arms and smiled smugly at Himiko. Sonia sprang up immediately to help Himiko dry off with some paper towels.

   "Nice comeback, Hogfart," Hiyoko snickered, walking off. She wasn't snickering for long, however, because at that moment, she tripped over a foot that someone had been sticking out. 

  "Oooo, you so clumsy, gurl!" Kokichi exclaimed, resting his head on his hand with a smug look on his face. "Gotta be more careful there, Hiyoko!"

   "Ugh...you did that on purpose, you lying, little troll!" Hiyoko yelled. 

  "Did I?" Kokichi asked with a mischievous grin. "I was just stretching my leg, but you decided to walk right into it with your disgusting, hairy feet. Ya know, maybe instead of running your smelly mouth at Himiko, you should run your disgusting, hairy feet to the optometrist and get some glasses so you can watch where you're going, you clumsy bitchlet."

   "H-Hairy f-feet?!" Hiyoko exclaimed, looking at her feet. "I d-don't have disgusting...H-HAIRY feet!"

  "Heeeey, maybe Himiko can use her magic to fix your disgusting, hairy feet!" Kokichi suggested, then thought for a while. "Hmm...non non. On second thought, they're more suited for an ugly little hobbit like you."

  "Why...you little-" Hiyoko growled, tears forming in her eyes.

   "You talk so much smack about Himiko's talent, but yours is boring and useless," Kokichi said. "Your talent does more harm for you than good. It's probably why your feet are so disgusting and hairy. Oh, and they also smell, like the rest of the crap they're attached to." 

   Hiyoko began to jump up and down in anger. "You wanna say that to my f-face, you...you Panta-guzzler?!" she screamed. 

  "Wooooow, and you call Himiko childish?" Kokichi shook his head at her. "Himiko may look like a four-year-old, but at least she doesn't act like one."

   "Yes, she does! She totally does!" Hiyoko shouted, tears streaming from her eyes.  

   "Oh, reeaaallly?" Kokichi continued. "Well, at least Himiko doesn't need help to put her clothes on, Miss Kimo-No Class." 

  "Grr...urgh...I'M GONNA BOP YOU ON THE HEAD!!!" Hiyoko shouted. 

  "Hmm, maybe you should learn some magic from Himiko, Hiyoko," Kokichi crossed his arms smugly at her the way Hiyoko did to Himiko earlier. "I think you have some potential. For instance...DISAPPEAR!" He commanded as he waved his hand dismissively at her. 

  "FINE! WHATEVER!!" Hiyoko shouted. "IT'LL BE BETTER THAN LOOKING AT YOU LOSERS!!!" she stormed out of the art room, but not before Kokichi gave her a final surprise.

   "Oh, Hiyokoooo, you forgot something!" Kokichi called to her. Hiyoko spun around angrily and was immediately drenched in red paint. "There! Now you look like what you are...a demon. Now, beat it, you phony oni!"

   Hiyoko stomped off, muttering angrily and leaving red, sloshy footprints behind. Kokichi turned halfway and gave Himiko a sideways wink along with a secret, flirty smile. Then he turned his back to her to go back to his table. Himiko's heart skipped a beat and she felt her insides melt. She gave him a small, grateful smile as Sonia, along with some other girls, helped clean her up.
