Beep beep beep be-

Jay: Grr... Why so early...

Said the little Inklings while looking at his alarm.

Jay: 6.30...

He slowly got up from his bed and quickly went to shower. How that's possible? Well... Let's say he doesn't get splat since it's just little water unlike rain.
As he went on his way to the kitchen, he noticed that noone was awake yet, so he quickly made himself breakfast and scrolled a bit through his Inkphone and liking a few pictures.
After finishing eating he quickly cleaned the dishes and got on his way to the plaza.
While on his way he noticed that no Inkling is awake or around except a few adults going to work.

Jay: Dang... If that's how I end up when grown up... Then I feel bad for the other fresh kids when they have to work.

Ending up at the plaza, it was all empty and silent. Almost like it was dead.
He went to the manhole cover where he was yesterday. Looking around if someone was watching, he quickly went inside and began swimming.
Getting out of the cattle, the only squid was nowhere to be seen.

Jay: Is he sleeping?

A note was sticking at the entrance of the cottage.

Jay: What's that? Let's see... 'Good morning Agent 3, if you're reading this, I currently am visiting my granddaughters and will be in octo valley a bit later.
Your equipment is inside the cottage.
You can start without me but be careful will you? And the zap fish...
Put them inside the cottage. I'll grab 'em later. Now good luck Agent 3!'
... I mean... I guess I can... But ok gramps.

He went inside and quickly changed into his outfit with his splatter.

Jay: Well... Let's hope I get today a lot of those fish eggs!

And so he began with the next cattle.

Meanwhile at Octo Academy!

Koro: I'm tired...

Luny: We all are.

Koro: I wanna go sleep...

Luny: Koro please.

Koro:..  I didn't even got my coffee. T^T

Luny: Sigh. You're acting like a child.

Koro: Better so... Because I refuse growing up!

Luny: Cod... Just try to be awake ok? Selina got a new mission for us. It's to inspect Octo Valley a bit because of rumors that someone is going through the cattles and getting the zap fishes.

Koro:... Excuse me?

Luny: Yeah that happened.

Koro;... When do we start?

Luny: After our last class for today.

Koro: Sigh... Fine... But you have to watch over me if I fall asleep...

Luny: Hehe. Don't worry I will.

Koro:... Should I be concerned?

Luny: Not at all.

Koro:... Now I am.

Luny: Let's just go to class ok?

Koro: Fine...

3 hours have passed since then while Koro trying to stay awake as good as possible and listening to history. Something which fascinated him since he was taught to speak Octoling.
Luny looked hopeful at him that he at least tries to get through it.

Teacher: That's it for today. All of you now go either home or in your clubs. We close at 3 pm.

Getting up from the chair, Koro finally got outside of that class and waited for Luny.
