You and grim walk- no wait ran thru out the east hall of the school and running down the long stairs of the school that almost made you tired but the fire inside of grim was burning at the point you can see the fire on grims ears turn red a bit from anger making you worry a bit 'please don't burn this school... just kill ace' you thought as grim holds your hand tighter as you two walk out of the school and to the hall of mirrors

"Yeah right, like I'm gonna was a hundred windows. I'm just gonna go back and-" ace said to himself before he got cut off by grim "AHA! GOTCHA, PUNK!" grim said smugly as ace flinch from the loudness of grims voice and sudden intrusion "Shit they saw me..." ace said to himself as he runs away from the both of you "Stop right there, pal! No fair gettin' a head start! Wait!" grim said "Who in their right mind would ever wait?! Seeya!" ace mocked as he runs to one of the mirrors "No way are you gettin' out of this! You think I WANNA wash windows?" grim said as the two of you tries to catch up to ace "...Hm?" a student with blue hair hum as he looks at ace "Outta my way!" ace yelled as he shoves the blue haired student to the floor "Hey! What gives?!" the blue haired student groaned

"Please, stop him!" you said using your charms as you reach out your hand to him which cause him to panic 'holy shit HOLY SHIT A GIRL IS TALKING TO ME!?' he taught as he shakes his head as he takes your hand before standing up "Y-you want me to cast a spell t-to stop him?" the blue haired boy stutters as you nodded "Like, freeze his legs? Or bind them with a rope? Or maybe I could... Hmm... No..." the blue haired boy mumbles to himself "I don't care how! Just do something! Anything!" grim yelled back at the blue haired boy "Anything?! Anything, huh..." he said as he take out a gem with a gemstone on top of it "All right! Here goes anything! I summon thee... something heavy!" he said as he summons a huge cauldron that landed on ace making you wince "Bwaaah?! Wha?! A pot?!" Ace said as he groan from pain as grim points and laugh at him "Ah ha ha ha ha! Look, [Name], look! That Ace guy got crushed beneath a giant cauldron! It squashed him flat! Aha ha ha! That's what you get!" he said with laughter and tears on his eyes and holding his stomach as ace blush from embarrassment 'Great job ace she must think that you're a clown' he thought as you look closer at the blue haired boy who had a fair-skinned boy with short, neatly-combed hair is dark navy blue, with short side swept bangs with his eyes are bright cyan in color, and over his right eye is a black marking shaped like a spade symbol

"A cauldron?! I wasn't expecting that. I may have overdone it this time..." the blue haired boy said as he scratch the back of his neck "Owwww! What are you bothering me for? You guys coulda just banged out the work yourself!" ace groaned as he gets up "Headmage's orders. You heard the man." you said coldly and glaring at ace making the three guys shiver from fear "You have to wash a hundred windows as punishment? What the heck did you do?!" the blue haired boy said breaking the silence "I was just screwing with that furball a little. ...Okay, and the statue of the Queen of Hearts got a teeny bit charred. Sue me." ace said as he stands up and dusting his uniform "You damaged a statue of the Great Seven?! No wonder he flew off the handle at you! After you managed to get into THIS school, how could you get in trouble on the very first day?" the blue hair boy said as his eyes widen in shock

"Oh, shut up. Who are you, anyway?" ace snaps back "My name is Deuce. Deuce Spade. Don't you remember your own classmate? Uh..." The blue haired boy named deuce said awkwardly "You don't remember my name either, do you?" Ace sassed back at deuce "That's not the point! You shouldn't try to shirk an order from the headmage!" deuce fought back "Yeah, yeah, message received... Fine, let's bang out the windows already" ace said as he rolls his eye before pausing and looking around "Huh...?" he mumbles as you notice something else too "What...?" you said as you realize what was wrong "The furball! He's gone!" ace said as he points to the exit of the hall of mirrors "Ah ha ha ha! I'll let you two handle the rest! See ya, suckers!" grim said as he floats away

"You caught me so YOU could run away yourself?!" ace said as turns to deuce "Hey! You there! Uh... Juice?" he said "My name isn't "Juice". It's Deuce! With a D!" deuce said as ace rolls his eyes "This is partially your responsibility, you know! So help me catch that little furball!" ace said as he takes out his pen "How is this my responsibility?!" deuce said glaring at ace "Grim's useless janitor friend can't use magic. That means this is up to you and me!" he said as the two of them ran out to catch grim leaving you dumbfounded 'are you FUCKING kidding me!?' you thought as you clench your fist before taking in a deep breath 'deep breaths [Name]... calm down' you thought before calming down 'not now... not yet..' you thought before running after them

"You better stop right there, furball!" ace said as he shoots grim with magic "Make me, explodey hair!" grim said as he dodges "Then a game of cat and mouse it is! Follow me, Juice!" ace said as he runs faster to catch up to grim "How hard is it for you to say my name right?!" deuce yelled back at ace who has in front of him "Ack!! I got nowhere to go-!" grim groaned as he got hit by ace magic attacks which made him slow down "One more push, and we've got this in the bag..." ace said to deuce making him nod "If I stop him with my magic!" he said "Hey, could you NOT steal my schtick? Step off!" ace argues "Or you could just stay out of my way!" deuce snaps back "Woo! Now's my chance!" grim cheered as he floats faster "Hey! WAIT!" ace yelled back as they run after grim

"Don't forget! You gotta wash all 100 windows by yourself if I catch you. You said so!" ace yeled behind grim "Nuh-uh! I did not!" grim snaps back at ace "Match the timing of your magic with mine, Deuce!" ace said as he points his pen at grim but deuce shot his magic a bit too early "Were you even listening?! That was way too soon!" ace snaps at deuce slowing them a bit

"Lucky me! Time to make a break for it."
