"Ahh!" Ren hisses as his wound was being treated by the school's official doctor, Dr. Xavier Madman.

The man was middle age, with white streaked black hair and short beard, though he was mostly bald on the top of his head. He was dressed in the typical doctor's outfit with a white lab coat, glasses and a stethoscope. He seemed kind of scary at first, but was actually nice, especially when Crowley told him what happened.

"You're lucky your burn is only surface level. It should heal soon enough..." The doctor tells him as he dresses his wound. First by using cold water to cool it then putting a salve that stung for a second before becoming soothing.

"Thanks, that actually does feel better." The ravenette says. Morgana then hops up onto the bed he was on.

"Hey, I think I can help as well." The feline says, the doctor looks at him confused.

"Don't go licking it." Ren says jokingly.

"Very funny. Zorro, Dia!" The tuxedo says sarcastically, then calls and his persona does as he says. The boy's burn turns from blood red to a more pinkish-red and shrinks until it didn't sting anymore.

"Cool!" Grim says in awe at the display.

"Impressive." The doctor says while adjusting his glasses and starring at the more healed wound. It wasn't completely gone, but it definitely looked better. "Still, I'd prefer if you try not to exert yourself and keep it wrapped up." He says and puts a large bandage on the smaller burn just in case.

"Thank you sir." The ravenette says and puts on a new shirt he was provided since the previous one got burned too.

"Your welcome, my boy. Do come around if you need my services again." The man tells the boy as he leaves with the two "not-cats". "In this school, you'll be needing it." He adds and starts putting away his medical tools.

"Blah... I'm already beat from cleaning all day... Now we have to wash a hundred windows, too!" Grim complains. The three were currently waiting in the cafeteria, having finished clean the main road, for Ace to show up so then can star cleaning a hundred windows as Headmaster Crowley had instructed.

"And who's fault is that exactly?!" Morgana states, annoyed. While the other cat huffs in response.

"Knock it off you two. We're just going to have to get it done." Ren scolds them lightly while also setting up the tools for them to clean said windows.

"Are you sure you're okay to clean?" The cats asks the ravenette.

"Thanks to you casting Dia on me, it feels a lot better. So I'm good." He reassures.

"Ugh... You know, that Ace guy sure is taking his sweet time. Who does he think he is making me wait?! I'm so pissed!" Grim complains some more.

"Now that you mention it, Ace should've been here at least an hour ago." Ren says in realization.

"You're right... Wait, you don't think he ditched us, do you?!" The gray cat says.

"Given his attitude, I wouldn't put it past the guy." Morgana agrees.

"Grr! You're right! I'm not going to let him get away with this!" The other not-cat declares and hops onto Ren's, uninjured, shoulder. "Let's go, Ren! We're going to catch Ace and make him wash all the windows himself!" He exclaims.

"You're still doing some Grim." Ren states. Morgana just stares, a little annoyed that the other "not-cat" took his usual spot. With that, the group walked out of the cafeteria and went searching for the student.
