Chapter 7: No thoughts, head empty

"Pfft... ahaha! I can't bear it anymore! Ahahahaha!" Ace burst into a peal of laughter, clutching his stomach. It was almost maniacal. [Name] slumped her shoulders and her lip raised the more he laughed. "Aren't you the guys who went crazy at the entrance ceremony? You were summoned by the Dark Mirror even though you can't use magic and fell on your fat arse, and you, monster, weren't called but still trespassed. Yeah, it took everything I had not to lose it at the ceremony!"

He continued to laugh more as Grim began growling, [Name] could feel the guttural vibrations from the back of his throat as his torso leaned on his neck. He was getting ready to pounce. "Wha!? You're a rude one!"

"And now you weren't allowed in and regulated to janitor? Haha, how lame." He crossed his arms leaning back, a mocking jeer in his features. He looked directly at [Name]. "A janitor, a perfect position for the new girl! You'd never make it out alive if you actually were a student."

"What's that supposed to mean?" [Name] grunted her grip on her broom tightening.
She was ready to whip that baby around and show Ace what she was made of. Grim growling was more audible now.

"On top of that, you don't even know about the Great Seven. How ignorant can you be?" He closed his eyes and spoke pretentiously. "I recommend you go back to kindergarten before coming to Night Raven College. Pfftkuku..." He burst into another fit of giggles.

"Gunuhnuhnuh..." Grim was like an outdoor generator with the amount of grumbling coming from him.

[Name] face burned with humiliation but she was honestly more concerned with Grim; he was going to explode any second now.

"I thought I'd just mess with you a bit but you really blew my expectations away. Unlike you, I actually have classes to attend. Keep this school squeaky clean, you two." Ace took his leave, waving coldheartedly and not bothering to spare a glance. His footsteps were akin to his words, cold and sharp.

"This jerk! He's just gonna say that and leave! I'm pissed now! Fuunnaaaaah!"
"Grim no!" [Name] caught Grim as he jumped from her shoulders but he already blasted a blue fireball at Ace, intended to hit him square in the back but, with [Name's] intervention, it shot a warning blast beside Ace's feet. Naturally, he jumped back from the shot and defensively backed away, hands up. He whipped around and a furious expression on his features.

"Oh my! Watch out! What're you doing!?" He exclaimed.

"It's what you get for making fun of me and my henchman!" Grim sneered, twisting out of her hold and standing on his hindlegs, hands-on-hips. He pointed an angry paw at Ace. "I'm gonna light up the fire-head of yours!"

"Fire-head, huh?" Ace didn't like that, eyes narrowing in distaste and into a death glare. "You've really got guts picking a fight with me. I'll turn you into a puffy, little toy-poodle!"

Refusing to listen any longer, Grim exhaled a large amount of fire toward Ace. [Name] braced herself from the blistering heat with her arms guarding her face and glanced away. She protested loudly but no one listened.
