Scarlet Vision | Twisted Wonderland

Crowley meticulously placed the latest addition to the towering stack of paperwork on his desk with a tired sigh. It seemed as though the never-ending barrage of paperwork would never let up. Just as he was about to delve back into the pile, the door to his office burst open, revealing a group of students, all of whom was soon to be expelled. This was an unexpected turn of events, but it was a welcome distraction from the tedious paperwork.

Crowley leaned back in his chair, intertwining his fingers and resting his chin on top, listening to the students with great interest as they regaled him with their latest adventure. It was a welcome change of pace from the monotony of paperwork, and he found himself humming along as they spoke.

"Eh? You're really telling me you actually went to the Dwarfs' Mine in search of magic stone?"

"Uh yeah, of course!" Deuce stammers in surprise. Didn't the headmaster told them to go in search of the stupid stone? The very same stone everyone had to risk their life for?

"Ah, I really didn't expect you all to actually go through with it," he said, a hint of surprise in his voice. "I never thought in my wildest dreams that you would return with a magic stone. And here I was, preparing your expulsion documents all evening."

With a flick of his wrist, he grabbed the stack of papers and threw them into the trash can next to his desk, a clear sign that he was genuinely taken aback by their success. He had underestimated the group and was now left to ponder the implications of their accomplishment. He thought for sure the group would fall apart with how much the three execpt [Name] fought.

"The nerves of this guys! While we were fightin' some crazy monster for you, you were busy expelling us?!" Grim glares at the headmaster. "What kind of headmaster are you!"

"Monster?" Crowley asked, interest peaked.

"Yea, there was a monster in the mines. A big and nasty one that nearly killed us! It was horrible!" Ace exclaimed, hugging himself at the memory.

"Interesting. Please explain in further details."

The group began to explain what monster looked like, and the lengths they had to go to, to get the stone.

"Hmm, so a mysterious monster was living in the mines?" Crowley started.

"Yes," Ace answers.

"And the four of you worked together to destroy it, then brought its magic stone back to me?" Crowley rephased.

"Yeah," Deuce sighs.

The students and Grim began to get annoyed at having to explain themselves again.

"I don't know if I would call it working together," Ace said, as he leaned back, interlacing his fingers behind his head, and averting his gaze.

"It was more like we just happened to have the same goal at the same time, that's all," Deuce added with a shrug. [Name] rolled their eyes at the two's nonchalant attitudes.

"Pay no attention to them, sir. We definitely worked together," [Name] said, disregarding the stern glares thrown their way by Ace and Deuce.

"Oh my goodness!" The headmaster exclaimed, dramatically clutching his chest as if he was in shock. [Name] let out a sigh, thinking to themselves that no one in this school takes anything seriously.

"What's his problem?" Grim whispered to [Name], who nodded in agreement. The two watched as the headmaster continued to react in an over-the-top manner.

"Pathetic," the Scarlet Witch commented, eliciting a reaction from the headmaster. He straightened himself in his seat and cleared his throat, "ahem."

"In the decades I've been here as head master. I never thought the day has finally come where some of my students have joined forces to defeat a common foe!" Crowley exaggerate with his arms at his declaration.
